Along the way, I chatted a lot with Gan Liliang, who had a strange name.

Min Congda knew that this kid loved basketball and had to go to a famous basketball school in the United States.

His father is a domestic tractor sales tycoon, very rich, donated a large sum of money to the University of Kentucky, sent his son to school, and got him a place on the school team.

However, his basketball talent is really mediocre, although he is more than two meters tall, let alone in Kentucky, a strong basketball school, even in an ordinary basketball school, he can't get any chance to play.

But it didn't matter, his father donated a lot of money, and the school didn't give face to others but also to the green dollar, so he asked coach Calipari to leave him a substitute seat in the school team.

Although he can't play, Gan Liliang trains very hard every day because he really loves basketball.

In April, when March Madness ended and the NCAA entered the offseason, the school curriculum was relatively loose, so Gan Liliang traveled to San Antonio with his good friends and watched the playoffs while playing.

San Antonio is the base camp of Gan Liliang's father in the United States, and his tractors are imported from Texas and sold to the Chinese market, with annual sales in the hundreds of millions.

"Damn, TM is a second generation?"

Why do you say again? Fan Chen's kid is the second generation, and he doesn't take Min Cong lightly.

Now you have to be careful when you meet the second generation of Min Congda, what if you are gullible and caught?

When we arrived at the crab fishing location, everyone took out the chicken thighs they had brought with them and started a fun crab fishing trip.

Although it is not as exciting as fishing, crab fishing is also fun and makes Min Congda feel that the trip is worthwhile.

Play until sunset and dark, everyone set up a bonfire in the camp, boiled the crabs, roasted them, and ate delicious crab meat.

Min Congda felt very happy to meet the two compatriots and had a drink together.

Min Congda was curious: "If you spend money to join the basketball team like you, you probably won't be able to enter the NBA in the future, right?" ”

Gan Liliang sighed and said, "Yes, my level, not to mention the NBA, NBDL is estimated to be enough." With two years left to work hard and train hard, you may be able to gain a foothold in the NBDL. ”

Min Congda said: "If it's not for this material, you won't eat this bowl of rice, your father is so rich, it's better to sell tractors after graduation." ”

"I just don't want to sell tractors! I don't want to go back to inherit the family business, I just want to play basketball. ”

Min Congda shook his head, thinking to himself that if I hadn't done this bullshit mission, I wouldn't have been mixed with the Clippers as general manager.

If I can inherit the family business, let alone sell tractors, I will do it if I sell toilets.

What's so bad about doing sales? Isn't it more interesting and accomplished to sell something to the people who need it?

The two of them each had their own thoughts, and they both sighed silently in their hearts.

After fishing for crabs, after eating the crab feast, go home.

On the way back, Min Congda asked Gan Liliang and Wei Dazhi, "How long are you going to stay in San Antonio?" Want to go to Los Angeles? ”

Gan Liliang said: "We are going back to school tomorrow, and there are still many things to do at school." But... If you have a game in San Antonio, we'll be sure to come and watch it. ”

Min Congda thought to himself, tomorrow he will play the second game with the Spurs, and he will play the fifth or seventh game, isn't it appropriate to go back to San Antonio?

Now that Spurs are down 1-0, they will play at least Game 5 and will definitely return to San Antonio.

Can't the Clippers sweep the Spurs, right?

"No problem, wait until the Clippers play in San Antonio again, we will make an appointment in advance and fish for crabs together!"

"Let's fish for crabs!"

The three exchanged contact information, and after getting out of the car, Min Congda returned to the hotel.

When other team managers play away, they spend their time with the team.

Find out the state of the team, talk to the players and coaches, and be sure about the next game.

It's a playoff game, not a regular season.

Only Min Congda is still in the mood to go crab fishing.

On both days, the rest of the playoffs continued.

On April 18, the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic played a rematch.

The Magic, with Howard, is completely devoid of the previous two seasons.

Even with Tekoglu, they couldn't find the feeling of winning.

In Miami, the Monster had a super double-double of 21 points and 18 rebounds.

But his connection with his teammates was completely severed, and Chris Bosh scored 27 points in this game.

Wade and Guy used sharp offense to impact the Magic's thin defense.

The Magic defense that Howard once held up by a pillar of optimus is gone.

It has become layerless, fragile, and porous.

Without such a defensive system as a backing, the Magic can't face the Heat's three-headed and six-armed team.

Gay, who hasn't been particularly well integrated into the Heat during the regular season, has found his role in the playoffs.

He's a complete third-time player, take some of the scum of the ball that Bosh and Wade have shared, give full play to his offensive ability, and don't have too many holes in the defense.

In this way, the Heat's imperfect but good individual offense, coupled with a pressing defensive system, defeated the Magic, who were already on the verge of shattering.

The series took a 2-0 lead.

In another game in the East, the Chicago Bulls also strangled the Philadelphia 76ers with a suffocating defense, 2:0.

It can be seen that there is a big difference in strength between the upper and lower halves of the east, and it is difficult for the lower half to pose a fatal threat to the upper half.

By April 19, the plot had not changed, and the Cavaliers, Mavericks, and Celtics in the top half of the region all won the game, defended their home court, and took a 2-0 lead.

On April 20, the Clippers and Spurs will face off in a rematch.

The other two games, Lakers vs Grizzlies and Thunder vs Nuggets.

As the game progressed, both of these games were also won by teams in the top half.

The immature Griffin was still helpless in front of the three highs, his face was dazed, and the Lakers took the Grizzlies lightly.

Without Anthony's Nuggets, they can't withstand the impact of Durant and Westbrook at all.

Durant, Westbrook, and Gordon combined for 70 points, 109:89, and 20 points to sweep the Nuggets.

After last year's grind, the Thunder are not far from the second round of the playoffs.

Min Congda looked at the other rounds of the series and thought to himself, we can't be an exception, right?

The Spurs have learned the lesson of the first game, shame and courage, plus Ginobili's comeback, the second game must be won to defend the home court.

Min Congda is full of confidence in Spurs!

Two and a half hours later, the Clippers scored 110-107 in overtime and scored another game on the road.

James Harden hits a key three-pointer to strangle the Spurs with his teammates!

None of the Clippers scored 20 points, but eight scored in double figures.

The maverick Clippers became the only team in the bottom half of the 8-round series to go down and lead 2:0!

I can't help but wonder, who is the first and who is the eighth?

At the end of the game, Min Congda left the stadium without saying a word, and buckled the popcorn bucket to the head of the reporter who wanted to interview him in the players' tunnel.

The next day, he was penalized by the league and fined $20,000.
