Chapter 446: A Relaxed Life (Part 1)

After Min Congda stepped down as coach, his life returned to a relaxed and free state.

Recently, he also changed one of his habits - he didn't go to the training center to eat.

Some time ago, as a head coach, he went to the training center every day, and he was already tired and didn't want to go.

Because people's mentality has changed, at the beginning he went to eat, he ate if he wanted to, and he didn't want to eat.

Later, I became a coach and became a job, and I had to go every day, and the food in the cafeteria was not fragrant.

Earlier, I went to eat mainly because I was poor and had no money, so I had to borrow money from the team staff.

Now, after their own hard work and reasonable investment, they no longer have to worry about eating.

Apple's stock price ushered in a big rise at the end of 11 years, from more than 300 to more than 400 per share, and Min Congda's assets jumped again.

With the successful release of the iPhone 4S in October 11, the wave of mobile phone revolution triggered by Apple's mobile phone continues.

Nokia's former mobile phone empire collapsed in an instant, everyone used Apple mobile phones, and the new economic wave caused by the mobile Internet is making waves.

As a person who has come over, Min Congda knows how turbulent this wave is, so he wants to sell some stocks at the right time and take some cash to invest in the emerging technology industry.

It's just that he hasn't found a suitable target yet, and the money in his hand is not enough, so he can only do some angel investment, and he must find the right industry project.

He is not like those big funds, a lot of seeds are sown, and one or two of them can be made a lot of money if they live, his chances are very small, and he must be firmly grasped to do so.

This is the limitation of the working class, your size is too small, the error tolerance rate is too low, even if you are very discerning, because there is no chance of making mistakes and the principal is too low, it is also difficult to obtain excess profits.

As for the team's record, with Tyronn Lue as a rookie coach, does he still need to worry?

After the Timberwolves game, the assistant coaching staff and executives already had a lot of complaints about Tyronn Lue.

thinks that Tyronn Lue lacks the prestige of a coach, if it weren't for Min Congda's pressure and full support, Tyronn Lue wouldn't have lasted three days.

And this is exactly the effect that Min Congda wants, if Tyronn Lue is like Lao Deng and Cole, and has the support of the people below, then how can he still mess up?

Obviously, Tyronn Lue can't be loved by the coaching staff and players, and he has to be uncomfortable in the coaching position.

Of course, the Clippers' foundation is already good, and it is estimated that it will not be much worse if it is rotten.

Anyway, it's teetering on the edge of the playoffs, and the team's income is so-so, not up or down.

When Min Congda raises the team's expenses and debts in one go, the team's bankruptcy will enter the countdown.

After waking up in the morning, Min Congda looked at the stocks, listened to the news, and talked on the phone with friends from several Internet companies.

Then I listened to Rosser and Olser give a brief report on their work, and the morning passed like this.

At noon, I cook some side dishes and have a can of cold beer, which is much more comfortable than being a coach.

While cooking, Min Congda suddenly thought that today was the day when the Chinese boy came to Los Angeles.

On the flight at half past five in the morning, Ida was arranged to pick up the plane, and everything was handled by her, I don't know what happened.

So, Min Congda called Ida and asked about the high school student named Lu Yuan.

Ida answered the phone and reported to Min Congda, saying that Lu Yuan would be boarding at Mrs. Williams's house next door to her house.

In the morning, she took Lu Yuan to visit the Clippers training center and accept the NBA-level tryout here.

"Really? What was the result of the tryout? ”

Ida hesitated, with some hesitation in her words.

"You can say what you want, what you have to do, is the situation not good?"

"Mr. Smart, I don't know what to say, this kid named Lu Yuan, he doesn't know how to play basketball."

"What? Don't know how to play basketball? ”33

"That's right, he said, he only learned basketball for a month, he doesn't know a lot of things, and he doesn't even know Kobe."

"Only studied for a month? Don't even know Kobe? This... That's a good thing! ”

"It's... Yes? Mr. Smart, what do you say? Meddlesome? ”

"yes, isn't that a good thing? This shows that the child is an uncarved piece of jade. Puyu, do you know? The Chinese say that he is a blank piece of paper, which can be smeared by you, and is very plastic! ”

"But ......"

Min Congda always had some bizarre theories that Ida couldn't understand.

In the United States, if a 15-year-old high school student has not yet started and received high-level basketball training, he has basically said goodbye to professional players.

History has had prodigies like Hakeem Olajuwon, who started playing basketball at the age of 15 and then came to the United States to become a superstar.

But Olajuwon is a special case, and although Olajuwon only learned basketball at the age of 15, he has been exposed to other sports before.

It shows that he was discovered athletic talent very early, but he chose the wrong track and changed to the right track at the age of 15.

Ida learned from Lu Yuan's mouth that he had never talked about basketball before, and he had not been trained in various other sports.

Because his mother did not allow him to participate in sports activities, only let him study hard.

It was a pure accident that he was able to participate in the Clippers' training camp, and he was somehow sent to the United States by Fan Chen.

"No need, Ada, you take care of my little fellow during this time, and let him have a good time in the United States. Belch... There's nothing you need to worry about on my side, and taking care of Lu Yuan is your number one task. ”

"Got it, Mr. Smart, by the way, didn't you come to the training center for dinner at noon?"

"No, I'm cooking at home. Let Lu Yuan eat and drink well, I've worked hard for you recently. ”

After the order, Min Congda felt very satisfied.

"Can't even play basketball? Hey, this Fan Chen, doing things is exactly what I want! I'm also worried about sending a basketball genius who has been learning to play since he was a child, and it turns out that he is a halfway monk. In the sport of basketball, geniuses are all from calves to adulthood, and they only started playing basketball in high school, and you are still playing a fart. Do you think you're Olajuwon? ”

Min Congda didn't take Lu Yuan to heart at all, thinking that this kid would play in Los Angeles for a few weeks, and go home to school to prepare for the college entrance examination.

Wait until next year to come one or a few, just spend money on entertaining them, eat and drink well, pretend to practice, and then send them back to China.

Let the Clippers continue to bleed on funds, and the money will not be spent, and there will be no output at all.

The "Three Treasures Project" will be a complete success!

Min Congda, who was in a good mood, drank more beer at noon and ate eight skewers of chicken skewers.

In the afternoon, Min Congda arrived at the Stamp Center, and the game between the Clippers and Raptors was played at 3:30 p.m.

After two days of adjustment, the Clippers came out of the shadow of their last loss to the Timberwolves.

Facing the Raptors, who are not strong, the Clippers showed their strength.

Take the lead from the first quarter and then press the Raptors all the way.

The Raptors didn't give the Raptors too many chances in the whole game, and finally defeated the opponent by 103:98, a 5-point advantage.

Tyronn Lue got his first win as a Clippers coach.

However, Min Congda didn't care about this, he could see that this was purely a Raptors dish.

There's nothing special about Tyronn Lue in terms of the team's lineup.

The change from the previous game is that Curry, Harden and others are in a more stable state.

And in the final quarter, with an 11-point lead, the Raptors almost caught up with a wave of counterattacks, and Clippers fans broke out in a cold sweat.

Min Congda is very satisfied with this, this kind of coach who can effectively reduce the performance of players and suppress the potential of the squad is really unwanted.

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