Chapter 378: Hypnosis (First Update, More to Come)
"Sir, please relax, let your emotions go away, and slowly fall into a state of sleep. You'll have a good dream. Relax, you are now lying on a green meadow with blue sky, white clouds, and gentle sunlight shining on your face. All the things that bother you are put aside, you are completely relaxed, and you are the only one left in the world, with a gentle wind blowing, and the sound of flowers and running water...... Okay, can you name it? ”
"Min Congda, the English name is Smart Min."
"Great name, can you tell me about your profession?"
"Professional manager, working for the Los Angeles Clippers."
"How's your job at the Clippers?"
"Not bad, we made the playoffs in our first year, and we made it to the Western Conference Finals in our second year. Just lost to the Dallas Mavericks 2:4 in the Western Conference Finals and failed to reach the Finals. ”
'It's a very impressive result, and you must have put a lot of effort into building the team.
"Yes, I put a lot of effort into it."
"That's why you care so much about the team's results that when you are treated unfairly, you will go into a rage and even fight, right?"
“…… Yes. ”
"How's your family doing? How did you come to the United States, can you tell us about it? ”
"My parents died at an early age, and I was tricked into coming to the United States to work at the age of 15, washing dishes, taking out the trash, doing heavy work in a restaurant in Los Angeles, and I was treated unfairly. I was always beaten, and my boss would hit me with a glass of water or put a bucket on my head if he wasn't satisfied. My only entertainment at that time was playing basketball, and I played basketball well because I was yellow and the street kids called me a butter bomb. ”
"Then I met Mr. Stirling on the street, I remember in 2001, and he admired my skills and used to eat at the restaurant where I worked, and he always tipped me. At that time, I was working part-time and studying correspondence, I got my degree, and later I got a green card, and Mr. Sterling would invite me to watch a game at the Staples Center, and I watched it for many years... It wasn't until 2009 that Mr. Sterling came to me out of the blue, and he said he didn't want to run the Clippers anymore, and he thought I was good management material and asked me to give it a try. ”
"He only gave me two days to prepare, and then he drove the ducks to the shelves and took office......"
At a psychiatric clinic in northeast Los Angeles, Min Congda is lying on a couch, recounting his past in a slow, vague tone.
Sitting next to him was Mia, a curly-haired female psychotherapist in her 30s in a suit and tube skirt.
While recording the content of Min Congda's narration with a voice recorder, she sketched on the form and made a diagnosis and treatment judgment.
This is the fifth time Min Congda has been here, and the first two times have had simple contacts and conversations.
From the third beginning, Mia tries to use hypnosis to understand Min Congda's deeper problems.
But Min Congda has always resisted and cannot enter the state of hypnosis.
It wasn't until the fifth time that the hypnosis finally succeeded.
Mia learns more about Min Congda's past.
This helps to treat the manic and unstable side of his emotions.
The NBA Western Conference semifinals have passed, and in the tie-break, the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Thunder in Oklahoma.
In the case of Durant and Westbrook erupting, the two combined for 80 points.
The Clippers showed what it means for everyone to be a soldier and what it means for everyone to have a ball.
Eight players scored in double figures, with Randolph scoring a team-high 21 points.
Dragic hit a key three-pointer to help the Clippers narrow 110-108 win over the Thunder on the road.
Unexpectedly got a ticket to the Western Conference finals and joined up with the Dallas Mavericks to compete for a championship ticket.
"What do you think about the Los Angeles Clippers' loss to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals? Do you think there are referees manipulating the game? ”
"I don't want to lose, I don't want us to lose to the Mavericks, I want to win, and only winning can prove me, prove us! I want to win! I want to win! ”
Min Congda, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly became emotional.
Mia hurriedly put her hand on Min Congda and said comfortingly: "Shhh, shh~ It's okay, relax, relax, you guys have done a very good job, very good." The Dallas Mavericks are champions after all, and it's not a shame to lose to them. I think next season, maybe it's time for the Clippers to make it to the Finals. ”
After Mia said this, Min Congda immediately calmed down, and there were slight twitches on his face, but fortunately he was not seen by Mia.
The 2011 season was a surprising one indeed.
The Dallas Mavericks swept the defending champion Lakers in the semifinals, showing a king's eye.
Then he faced the young Clippers in the Western Conference Finals and quickly won two home games to take a 2-0 lead.
The Clippers did the same, and after returning to Stamps, they won two games in a row, and the two sides started a battle of points.
In the crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Mavericks were still superior and won the match point in Dallas.
Then the sixth game did not give the Clippers a chance, and successfully entered the Finals and met with the Cleveland Cavaliers!
In the East, the Cavaliers' path to promotion is also unfavorable.
In the second round, James successfully crossed the Boston Celtics and defeated the humiliation of '08 and '10.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers met the scheming Miami Heat.
The Heat dropped themselves to fourth place in the regular season, picking out the young Chicago Bulls in the semifinals.
The Heat, who are more evenly balanced, really knocked out the Bulls led by regular season MVP Rose.
By the time it came to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers and the Heat had seven battles.
In the series, two of the Clippers' veterans, Marcus Camby and Kirk Hinrich, played important roles.
Facing the Heat's relatively weak interior line, Camby, who is tall and long-armed, has the advantage, and has two games with 15+15 data.
Then there's Koke Hinrich's successful defense against Wade in the series.
It can be said that after the trade deadline, the Clippers bought out Hinrich and let Hinrich go to the Cavaliers, which was a very successful assist.
Hinrich successfully suppressed Wade's shooting percentage to 40% in the tie-break.
James stayed in Cleveland and finally led the team out of the East and reached the Finals for the second time.
However, in 2007, LeBron James was easily trampled by Duncan and the Spurs.
This time, the confident James met Waterloo again, and the Mavericks defended James quite successfully.
The Cavaliers took the lead in the first game, won one on the road, and the situation was very good.
Defeated 4-1 by the Mavericks in four consecutive games, the Dallas man won the championship at the top of Cleveland.
James only scored 8 points in a single game in the crucial fourth game, falling behind 1:2.
The Cavaliers lost a miserably game, missed the opportunity to equalize, and then sent the Mavericks to the coveted throne in Game 5.
The 2010-2011 season ended in a very dramatic and legendary fashion.
Whether lamenting the afterglow of the old era or lamenting the dawn of the new era, fans can find something that touches them.
In the midst of the noise, the clamour, the applause, the ridicule, the era, the real end of an era.
And the usher of a new era, Smart Min, who stirred up trouble in the alliance, "woke up" after receiving Mia's treatment.
"Mr. Smart, now you have to slowly return to the real world, get up from the grass, come out, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, okay, open your eyes."
Min Congda slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion - somewhat pretended.
"Oh, Ms. Mia, I slept and felt so comfortable. It's been a long time since I've slept like this, and I'm supposed to come to you for insomnia in the future. ”
Mia smiled and said, "A few more treatments, it should be about the same." ”
"How many more times?"
"Almost three more times."
"Three more times? Oh my God, you're here for five hundred dollars an hour, that's too expensive! ”
"It's all paid by the league anyway, and you have to cure your mania before you can go to the sidelines to watch the game."
Min Congda got up, packed up his things, and thanked Mia.
"By the way, I shouldn't be able to come next week, the draft is going to start, and I'm going to be busy. I'll come back when the draft is over, okay? ”
"Of course, no problem, good luck."
"Phew, thank you, my luck has always been okay."
Min Congda left Mia's office with a smile on his face.
As soon as I went out, the smile on my face quickly disappeared, and a feeling of tiredness hit my face.
"Damn, fortunately, those dogs in our team made up a lot of stories for me, otherwise I would be doomed if I was hypnotized to tell the truth today!"
Min Congda thought with trepidation that his secret could not be told to anyone.
Some people died, but not completely......
