Min Congda originally thought that he would have a No. 4 sign or No. 5 sign, and let Olsie and the others operate it themselves.

Judging from the draft level of the Clippers' history, it is proper to drain the water and continue to waste a good pick.

Thinking about it, it's the champion show again! The probability of choosing parallel goods will be greatly reduced.

"Forget it, the Clippers didn't choose the top picks in the past, you have to believe in their level."

Min Congda silently comforted himself in his heart, saying that he would not interfere again in this draft meeting.

Curry's lesson is just too profound.

This is the third time that the Clippers have won the No. 1 pick after 1988 and 2009.

In 1988, the Clippers selected Danny Manning, which was a good choice.

Because in 1988 there were really no high-quality newcomers.

The Clippers acquired Curry in 2009, a choice that was questionable, but three years later, Curry has proven that it was a brilliant choice.

Now there is another champion opportunity in front of him, and Min Congda will not dare to touch it no matter what.

Olshea will be in charge of the draft.

At the same time, as soon as the results of this draft came out, the public opinion circle was in an uproar.

The last time something similar happened was in 2003, when the Pistons, who reached the Eastern Conference finals in the playoffs, had the '03 first-round pick they received from the Jazz trade in 1997.

Then this first-round pick became a model pick for the '03 year, but unfortunately the Pistons chose Milicic and wasted this good pick.

Of course, although Milicic is in the water, his failure is not only a matter of his own natural ability, but also the development of the Pistons and the destruction of Larry Brown are also important reasons.

Even if the Pistons chose Anthony or Bosh at that time, the growth of both of them could be ruined by the Pistons.

But regardless, the Pistons, who have a '03 rookie, lost an opportunity to build a dynasty.

They won the championship in '04 and in the years that followed they reached the finals once, reaching the division finals six years in a row.

If they had a scorer like Anthony, they wouldn't be disliked by Stern and would have won more titles.

Earlier, the 1986 championship Celtics were picked in the 1986 draft, which was also an opportunity to continue the legacy of the Celtics dynasty.

Unfortunately, Len Baias, who was selected with the second pick, died of drugs and did not play a game, which became a turning point in the decline of the Celtics.

In contrast, the Lakers were much luckier, as they won the championship in 1982, they got the top pick of the year, and as a result, they signed James Worthy, and then the Lakers won three more championships.

Because it was too unfair for the Lakers to pick a championship pick, the league instituted a Stepian clause that prohibits trading draft picks for two consecutive years.

Later, the rules were continuously improved, and Stern focused on preventing strong teams from getting high picks, setting various restrictions on lottery and trades, and finally the league office checked it.

Like the Clippers, the team in the Western Conference finals is obviously not in line with the league's policy, so it has suffered all kinds of criticism from the outside world.

ESPN expert Bob Marks said, "The Clippers' roster has shown great potential, they have the '09 No. 1 pick, they have reached the Western Conference finals, and they have traded to get a No. 1 pick? Is this the 80s? The league dominated the trade between the Hornets and the Clippers, and as a result, they didn't add pick protection to the draft, which is incredible! ”

The big-mouthed Barkley even said bluntly: "The league just wants to send the Clippers and make the Clippers the next hot team, I bet that this champion sign was given to the Clippers by the league!" ”

However, there are also people who are on the side of the Clippers, former Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor said: "The Clippers have suffered too much in history, and now that the tense is running, everyone can't stand it?" It's an unfair state of mind. ”

If you want to talk about the miserable comparison, no one dares to compare with Baylor, after all, there are eight finals, and there is no champion.

Although Baylor stepped down from his position as general manager of the Clippers, he still maintains contact with Clippers management.

After hearing about Mr. Baylor's tragic Finals history, Min invited him to become a member of the Clippers' advisory board.

I hope to use Baylor's bad luck to offset Jerry West's discernment, and by the way, destroy the Clippers' feng shui.

A small Clippers team, the advisory group already has West, Baylor and Dunleavy three, and it is about to become a state-owned enterprise pension reemployment group.

Min Congda now focuses on a money that can be earned and spent, but all the money earned from investment failures must be thought of to be spent on it.

This time, no matter who you choose, the team's exposure, attention, and market value will rise again.

The first thing Min Congda has to think about next season is how to spend the extra money he earns, so that the Clippers' cash flow will always remain tight.

There is also the construction of the new arena, and Min Congda must complete the fundraising work as soon as possible, and the project will be put into operation as soon as the season is over.

Therefore, getting the champion lottery is just a small sadness for him, and he is about to devote himself to more intense work.

The day after the draft draw ended, the Western Conference Finals kicked off first.

The Clippers take on the Lakers on the road, and the title of King of Los Angeles will be answered after this series.

At 6 p.m., Min Congda showed up on time in his seat behind the Clippers' bench on Stamps Center Court.

Ida brought her mother's corn cakes, roast pork rolls, fried rice balls, and a large glass of pineapple Coke from home, which was Min Congda's dinner.

"Thank you Ada, your mom's snacks are really good... Is the information sheet from Wells Fargo organized? There is also the team's charter, which will have to be reviewed and approved at next week's meeting. ”

"It's being sorted out, the charter is already being processed, and I'll give you the draft tomorrow."

"Thank you Ada, let's enjoy the game tonight."

Min Congda took a bite of the roast pork roll, and the gravy burst into his mouth, and it tasted great.

Since Marcella's assassination, Min Congda and Anton Lini's family have become very close.

As long as he has time, he will go to Ada's house to eat, and her mother's cooking skills are really good.

Today, Min Congda was busy with the team's charter, funding plan and other related matters all day, Olsham went to New York, and the team had to change owners and raise funds, so there was a lot of work to do.

In the past, Min Congda, who had always left his hands alone, still started in person when he encountered financial problems, so as to ensure that all the work was in place, and the mines that should be buried should be buried well to facilitate the explosion in the future.

Rosser pointed out that some of Min Congda's plans for the use of funds are too aggressive, and there may be problems in terms of interest rates and risks.

Min Congda believes that the Clippers are in a period of rapid development, how can they expand their market value and interests if they are not radical?

After some weighing, new boss Shelly Sterling agrees with Min Congda's thinking that it should indeed be more radical.

It can be seen that Shelly Sterling, who has just sat on the boss throne, is full of ambition and wants to make a career and compare her useless ex-husband.

And Rosser was only making suggestions based on his duties as a professional manager, and he knew that he could not stop Min Congda.

If you want to stop it, you have already stopped it, and now he has been subdued by Min Congda.

For Min Congda, after a busy day, it is quite pleasant to be able to eat a delicious bite in the evening and then go to the Staples Center to watch a wonderful game.

He tasted another bite of Italian fried rice balls, the taste is quite good, or how to say that Italians are European Chinese, eating things similar to Chinese, rice and noodles, and large baked cakes with a lot of ingredients, and attach great importance to the cultural tradition of family, this cultural barrier is really quite thin, and it will be broken as soon as it is beaten.

It's no wonder that Min Congda went to Ada's house to eat, and the more he rubbed it, the more cordial and homely he felt.

This is much warmer than cooking and eating at home alone all day.

Ida watched Min Congda eat deliciously, and her eyes sparkled.

NBA executives like him who eat on the sidelines of the arena and eat with a mouth full of oil can be said to be unique.

The TV station's footage was also given to the sidelines, and Min Congda eating fried rice balls and roast pork rolls was broadcast live to the whole United States.

This shot of about 10 seconds led to a 30% increase in the consumption of fried rice balls and roast pork rolls in the United States in the next three days.

The TV station commentators all joked, saying that Min Congda could go to the food company to make endorsement advertisements, and the effect was absolutely good.

Before he became famous in the United States because of the popcorn thing, a popcorn company really came to ask him to be an endorsement.

Min Congda wanted to take it, but unfortunately the income system of this work was not allowed, so Min Congda had to refuse on the grounds of maintaining the team's image.

Ida didn't care about this, on the contrary, he found Min Congda to be very kind, very different from those team executives who like to carry a shelf.

Because of this, the atmosphere of the entire Clippers team is very warm and good, and the players have a good relationship in private.

The atmosphere was much better than when Raheem Sterling was the boss before, when he was tense and depressing.

After the national anthem session, the game will start soon.

The first game of the Lakers and Clippers Western Conference finals series, which will be the battle that sets the tone.

The Lakers' first two rounds of progress weren't particularly smooth, but they weren't too difficult.

Both rounds were 4:2 to advance, lost some games, and won everything that should be won.

The combination of Kobe and Paul was very powerful in the regular season, and the Clippers and Lakers faced off in four games, and the Lakers had a 3-1 advantage.

Phil Jackson has a good mix of Paul and Kobe, and Paul is an extremely smart player who fits well into the triangle offensive system.

Originally, in Jackson's triangle offensive system, point guards were mostly role players.

Fisher, Harper, Cole, etc., are all functional players.

However, this does not mean that in the triangle offense, point guards can only be functional role players.

In fact, Phil Jackson's triangle offense was meant to be an open-ended system.

What role each player plays depends on their ability.

Of course, before Gary Payton joined the Lakers, he never managed to integrate into the triangle offense and played badly.

But Paul is different, Paul obviously has a higher basketball IQ tactically, and he and Kobe Bryant have been quite successful.

Phil Jackson's basic idea of building the offense is to assign Gasol's role in part to Paul.

The difference is that Gasol is the interior and Paul is the outside, the point guard.

Therefore, Jackson assigned another part of Gasol's role functions to Andrew Bynum.

Then, Jackson assigned some of Kobe's role functions to Paul, allowing Kobe to play more off-ball offense and be a more pure scorer and defensive leader.

This season, Kobe Bryant averaged 28.8 points per game, successfully surpassing Kevin Durant and winning the third scoring title of his career!

This is definitely an exciting achievement for Bryant.

His previous two scoring titles were won by a large number of shots.

There is no way, the team is too bad, there is no stable second scoring point, and it can only be relied on him.

Now that the team has enough helpers, Kobe Bryant can concentrate on scoring, and this scoring title is even more precious to him.

Phil Jackson played with the building blocks, deploying the different functional modules of the team on different players to achieve the balance he wanted.

Jackson's coaching model has to be said to be quite clever, he knows how to teach according to his aptitude, how to bring out the best in the players, and finally pinch everyone into a strong team, allowing superstars to lead role players to the championship podium.

With this coaching model, Phil Jackson has won 11 championship rings and is the most successful coach for more than 20 years, starting in 1990.

His model has also been emulated by many strong teams, and his coaching philosophy has left a deep mark on the league.

For example, the two coaches of the Clippers opposite tonight, Tyronn Lue and Steve Kerr, are his former disciples.

Both of them were influenced by Jackson in terms of team building and coaching philosophy.

But it has to be said that the Clippers have a very different team idea from the Lakers, they are a more modern team.

The Clippers have a deep Min Congda imprint: stable structure, local newcomers, few veterans, unity and friendship, innovative tactics, and all obedient.

Some commentators have even pointed out that the Clippers are not like an American team, it is more like a European team, or even a Chinese team.

"I heard that in the Chinese basketball team, the players are all trained by the local department, and they play locally, and there are very few transfers, and most of them stay in the local area to play for the rest of their lives. It's similar to the NBA's local draft strategy in the '50s, and now the Clippers are about to turn it into this, can you believe it? In the 2011-2012 season, the Los Angeles Clippers did not make any trades, not a single trade, which may have set NBA history. ”

The on-field commentator was right, the Clippers really didn't make a single trade this season.

The only thing they did was sign a couple of players on 10-day contracts and come over for a tryout.

The main purpose is to let the scouting team have something to do, otherwise everyone will not be happy to take the money idle.

Such a stable team looks out of place in the NBA, where the market is open.

You must know that NBA teams are not only management, but even fans and owners, and many people have a "trade fetish".

It's that no matter what the current situation of the team is, they are thinking about making a trade, hoping to play on their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, or thinking about the future.

Although it often turns out that most transactions are useless and even prove to be failures in the long run.

But the teams are still keen to trade, and if they have something to do, they will trade it, even if they have some draft picks and cash for fun.

Of course, many of them are also for tax avoidance.

Min Congda is biased, he doesn't do anything.

And the Lakers, when they were approaching the trade deadline, also brought in Gerard Wallace to make up for their "last shortcoming", which was considered by fans to be a deal that helped the Lakers win the championship.

Judging from the performance of the first two rounds, Gerard Wallace did play a big role, after all, Artest and Grant Hill are older.

Wallace's all-round approach made up for the Lakers' shortcomings at the forward position after Lamar Odom's departure.

Therefore, in the playoffs, he successfully entered the Lakers' starting lineup, Bynum, Wallace, Martin, Kobe Bryant and Paul.

The Clippers are still the starting five, Gasol Jr., Randolph, George, Harden and Curry.

Gasol Jr. and Bynum jumped the ball in the center circle and the game began.
