Chapter 386: Let Them Sleep Well with You (Part 1)

Before Min Congda's emergence, Cuban had been the number one thorn in the NBA's management.

Yelling at the referee on the sidelines, making critical remarks off the field, and writing email complaints to the league office at every turn.

Every season, the league doesn't fine Cuban for two dollars, and I'm sorry that he puts so much enthusiasm into it.

However, compared with Min Congda, Kuban is much more civilized, at least he has always been a gentleman who does not use his words.

Unlike Min Congda, who disagrees with the popcorn bucket service, the league has introduced a "Smart Rule" that prohibits him from eating buckets of popcorn on the sidelines.

If you want to eat, you can eat paper bags, coke and other bottled drinks, and he is not allowed to drink them, so he can drink them in paper cups.

For such a guy who stole his "limelight", Cuban has always been interested in him.

At this meeting, Cuban didn't want a shutdown, he didn't make money from the NBA, and it was a game he loved.

The website created by Cuban in 1999 was acquired by Yahoo for $5.9 billion, achieving financial freedom.

$5.9 billion in 1999, let alone buying the NBA, could go to buy European football giants.

Coupled with so many years of investment and operation, although Cuban is not the richest group of bosses in the league, he is definitely not bad at money and does not rely on the team to make money.

After winning the championship in 2011, Cuban's basketball boss career reached a successful point, and he felt that when the game was just fun, you wouldn't let me play it?

He was originally firmly opposed to the shutdown, but after hearing Min Congda's speech, he was silent and did not stand up again to express his opposition.

At the end of the meeting, he invited Min Congda to his villa, and after a few phone calls, a fragrant party began by the pool.

In the United States, a big capitalist like Kuban has one foot in the real ruling class, and there are many, many people around him to serve him.

Min Congda can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, but there are still fewer such scenes, and he feels that capitalism has merit.

And the Kuban aesthetic is very good, not as wild as the average Texan, who likes those heavy tiger squat guns.

The last time I came to Dallas to go to their most famous nightclub, Min Congda looked around and felt that he couldn't beat any of them, and he didn't want to beat any of them.

Kuban is just a few phone calls, but all the people I find are blonde western girls with not many artificial traces.

Since he was "intimidated" by Harden's mother at the club at the beginning of the season last year, Min Congda has not studied martial arts for a long time.

Naturally, his skills were rusty, and seeing these women who smiled at him frequently, Min Congda felt a little embarrassed.

Kuban was lying on a bench by the pool, and the Dallas night in June was just right and very comfortable.

He said to Min Congda: "Smart, how does Dallas make you feel?" It's no worse here than Los Angeles. ”

Min Congda thought to himself, is it possible that you want to dig me? If you can dig me up to the calf, you're done, you know.

I'm going to tear you up a championship team and end up bankrupting you, but don't bother yourself.

"I still prefer Los Angeles, where the people are more rustic and Texans have too many guns."

Cuban listened and smiled, the folk customs are simple Los Angeles, how did this kid say it.

But that wasn't the point of the chat, as Cuban pushed away a girl who was next to him, signaling that he had something to talk about.

"Smart, you said at the conference that you want to make a new NBA, do you really have this idea, or is it just for fun?"

"Oh~ Of course... Of course, it's for fun, the NBA is good enough, who can think of another league? It's not the 70s again. ”

In 1967, the ABA was founded to compete with the NBA, and the first president at that time was none other than George McCann, the first superstar of the NBA.

McCann has made the NBA a career and contributed greatly to the NBA's national outreach.

But he almost buried the NBA again, because the ABA did look better than the NBA at one point.

So, the real challenge of a professional league like the NBA often comes from within.

The people inside know how he works, know his weaknesses, and know how to break him.

Min Congda didn't know why Cuban was so interested in this matter, and he didn't want to reveal his true intentions for the time being.

He didn't want the mission to be unfinished, because Stern had some problems to get rid of.

At the meeting, he could see that Stern was very taboo about the "new NBA".

Cuban smiled, pointed at Min Congda, and said, "You are still defensive against me, you can speak freely here, you know, I have always been at odds with the alliance." I've long been dissatisfied with a lot of the rules and practices of the league, but they can't help it, they are the only ones who make the rules of the game, even if I am one of the shareholders, but it is only one in 30, right? ”

"Smart, you're a very talented basketball manager, really, a lot of people have heard about your management style, and it's very interesting."

In the face of Kuban's praise, Min Congda couldn't laugh at all.

What are you praising me, you are scolding me, by the way, you have scolded the NBA management.

How can he have any management methods, to put it bluntly, it is the set of state-owned enterprises.

There is more money and less work, no overtime, cronyism, no competition mechanism, no toss.

Min's goal is to train the Clippers into a bureaucratic style and let them rot in the end.

How can it still be a role model and have reference significance?

Could it be that the NBA team management is busy every day?

Not to mention, most of them are really just tossing around, pretending to be doing things themselves.

In hindsight, it's all pig-like operations.

Kuban's praise, Min Congda really didn't know how to take it.

"Hey, don't have so many barriers, come on, let's swim together, let's swim together! Take Mr. Smart into the water! ”

With that, Kuban took off his shirt and jumped into the pool in a pair of shorts.

Several girls swayed and squeezed towards Min Congda, like a female goblin seeing Tang Sanzang.

pulled, pushed and squeezed to help Min Congda take off his coat, and then jumped into the pool together.

The cool water made Min Congda feel refreshed, and the surrounding warblers and Yanyan relieved the fatigue of the five-hour meeting.

People's guards gradually let go, as if talking at the dinner table was not as intimate as in the bathhouse, and everyone took off their clothes and disguises, and saw each other frankly.

Looking at Kuban at this moment, Min Congda had an urge to spit out his inner thoughts to him.

However, his mind is still clear, and the psychiatrist's hypnosis can't even move him, how can a party let him take off all his defenses.

Playing in the water, Min Congda fully experienced what is called the wine pond meat forest, and what is called the beautiful woman like a cloud.

After tossing for a while, he went ashore, put on a towel, and Kuban led Min Congda back to the villa for a drink.

After two glasses of wine, the relationship between the two took a step further and began to talk about a lot of interesting stories about the NBA.

"Dirk's is a good player, but he doesn't have a good eye for finding a girlfriend, and he actually found a female liar."

"And Tim Duncan! Let me tell you, don't look at Duncan and his wife are very affectionate, Duncan is also a good man, but his wife must be unfaithful to him, I can see it! ”

"Kevin Garnett is great on the court, and he's a fool off the court, and his money will be cheated out one day~"

Cuban, who drank a little wine, called the three best power forwards in the league emotional stupid and fools.

It may be surprising, but the reality is that what you see on the field is often very different from what you see off the field.

Min Congda also said a lot of interesting things, and the two talked happily, but they never touched the "new NBA" again.

The interesting topic gradually finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent, Cuban took a sip of wine, and suddenly said: "Smart, do you want to be the real boss of the NBA?" ”

Min Congda was stunned when he asked this, he really didn't want to be the boss, besides, what is the difference between him and the boss now?

Except that there is no money.

"I... No. Min Congda told the truth.

"Hehe, Smart, you guy, you're not honest, you don't always tell the truth. It doesn't matter, we have many opportunities to communicate in the future. It's not early, let them sleep well with you~"

Some people died, but not completely......
