Chapter 284: The Pattern Is Great (Part 1)
After ending a four-game losing streak, the Clippers are on a two-game winning streak.
This brought back some bad memories for Min Congda.
On the Clippers' Devil's road trip last season, Min Congda was thinking about a wave of consecutive defeats.
As a result, those garbage were sent to the Boys team, and the Clippers won the state!
This wave of two consecutive wins made Min Congda start to worry, could it be that it happened again yesterday?
And, Paul George, James Harden, Bledsoe are three newcomers who impress.
George and Harden's dunks, and Bledsoe's offensive end to make up for Curry's absence, were the basis for the team to win the game.
Judging from the post-game statistics, Bledsoe scored 17 points in the game, handed out 6 assists, and 2 steals, and was the best one.
Although Harden and George have violent dunks, their overall performance is still not as good as that of Bledsoe, who has sprung up.
Especially Harden, two consecutive mistakes in the fourth quarter almost made Min Congda laugh.
The good news for Min Congda is that they are going to play the Hornets next.
Min Congda's beloved Grandpa St. Paul is coming to save him from fire and water.
The Hornets have been on a downward spiral for two years after reaching a peak in '08.
Tyson Chandler, the team's big center this season, left for the Mavericks.
As a replacement, the Hornets complement Okafor on the inside, who is also an excellent rim-protecting center.
As long as Chris Paul is around, the Hornets remain very competitive in the West.
Moreover, the Hornets have been very restrained against the Clippers, and the Clippers were winless against the Hornets last season.
Wasp and Paul are Min Congda's favorites and Min Congda's fortune boys.
Leaving Salt Lake City, the team arrived in New Orleans, and the game was played in the evening prime time.
However, the attendance at New Orleans home stadium is really not good, and it is sparse.
After Hurricane Katrina, the region's economy has never returned to its pre-disaster state.
Not only did it lead to the dislocation of the Hornets, but it also made the ball market here not very good.
Tonight, David Stern personally arrived to watch the Hornets and Clippers play.
Min Congda was "lucky" to sit with Stern again to watch tonight's showdown together.
Before the game began, Stern said to Min Congda: "Smart, can you write less complaints to the league?" ”
Min Congda said: "Where there is injustice, there is a voice of resistance. ”
Stern said: "That blow is good for the Clippers. ”
"What I care about is fairness and justice, I don't want bias, even if I favor the Clippers!"
In the first game between the Clippers and the Trail Blazers, the foul on Ade was not blown at the last minute.
Min Congda, as the profit-making party, criticized the alliance's punishment, and made the alliance apologize in person, which made him lose face.
Afterwards, the alliance did not fine Min Congda for money, but he didn't expect Min Congda to be unrelenting and sent an email to the office.
For all such emails, the coalition office has to respond to them, which is very troublesome.
Bozia, the vice president in charge of refereeing, now has a numb scalp when he sees the email from Min Congda.
The content of his emails is often stinky and long, and the point is quite reasonable.
If you reply well, you'll be tired of writing down an email.
If you don't reply well, just reply that you have read it, and he will keep urging you to reply.
Therefore, Bozia now sets a rule for the referees, whoever provokes Smart to write an email will write a reply and deal with Smart himself.
Therefore, in the next few games, the referee's whistle was quite fair and just, and Min Congda did not attack.
The rest of them don't know that the main reason why Min Congda didn't attack was because the Clippers lost.
Let the Clippers win four in a row, no matter how good you blow, he can find fault with you.
Stern also couldn't stand Bozia's always complaining, so he took this opportunity to communicate with Min Congda face-to-face.
He couldn't figure it out, last season's JFK Best Citizen Award was given to you, what else are you not satisfied with?
This season's best general manager is also good for you, right?
Min Congda also understands Stern's psychology, but he can't just say "you can fine more", the system does not allow him to do this, this is insider trading.
Min Congda had no choice but to say: "I'm not trying to do things David, I just want everything to be fair and just." You treat me fairly and justly, don't be partial, whistle and whistle, fine... Ahem, ahem, I'm not bad for money anyway! ”
The system warns: [Implication of fines is not allowed.] 】
Stern sighed and said, "Since you're not short of money, why don't you donate more money from the Africa Fund?" The Foundation did a good job in the summer. ”
Min Congda's hair stood on end, you don't have a fine, but don't let me donate.
He hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I am Asian after all, and it is not appropriate to donate to Africans all the time." There are so many African players in the league, they can donate. I focused on supporting my Asian Youth Basketball Fund and providing basketball funds for us Chinese. ”
Stern still agrees with Min Congda's establishment of this Asian basketball fund, which can play a very good role in the NBA's promotion and talent development in Asia.
"Your Asian basketball fund is doing a good job, if you need help, the NBA China official will provide support."
"No, no, no, we have our own development plan, you don't want to come and steal the results David."
Stern smiled and shook his head, this Smart still thinks I want to take credit from you? It's too much to think about.
The two chatted with each other, although Stern was very helpless with Min Congda, and sometimes he was so angry that he died.
But Stern found himself admiring this kid, and based on his more than 20 years of experience as president, he concluded that Min Congda was definitely a dragon and phoenix figure in the basketball world.
He may be able to lead the times in the future.
Because Stern saw in him a great charisma.
In the world of basketball, technology, tactics, and skills are all "trails".
Outstanding personal charm is the real "avenue" that will influence the pattern and future of the alliance.
Like Jordan, Johnson, Kobe, Riley, and Jackson, they are all people with huge personalities.
Min Congda's operation this summer made a huge impression on Stern, who persuaded James to stay with the Cavaliers.
Stern knew early on that James was going to do "Decision" on ESPN, and he strongly opposed it, and he very much didn't want James to go to the Heat.
Because this is a blow to the Cleveland market, and the balanced ecology of the alliance, checks and balances are what Stern has been doing all his life.
Since taking office in 1984, he has been cracking down on the Celtic faction that has spread all over the league to prevent the Greenshirts from becoming dominant.
From constantly expanding the league, adding new teams, and supporting small city clubs, Stern understands the principle of balanced development.
It's just that the expansion of the star's voice has made these young people more and more uncontrollable, and the traditional NBA culture is being destroyed.
The Clippers have a clear chance of acquiring James in the summer, which will cause the NBA market to tilt sharply towards California, which will create an imbalance.
Unexpectedly, Smart was far-sighted and persuaded James to stay in Cleveland, and he succeeded.
Since then, Stern has been impressed by Min Congda, feeling that this son has a very big pattern, if he is not too young, Chinese, and has a strange temper, he really wants to train him to be the successor of the president.
In comparison, Adam Silva is far from Min Congda on the "avenue" of personality charm.
"David, do you want popcorn?"
"I don't eat... And please call me Mr. Stern, David is not just what you call randomly. ”
"Okay David, I see, David."
