The summer of the offseason passed pretty quickly.

The championship is quickly forgotten and a new season is just around the corner.

Once again, the teams are ready to make a big splash in the 2013-2014 season.

Although the Nets' Big Four are extremely luxurious, the media and fans are not very optimistic about them.

After all, the core lineup is too old, and Kobe, Pierce, and Garnett are all over 35 years old and are no longer at their peak.

The good news is that the performance of the three old guys on the field has not fallen off a cliff, but they are all in good shape.

Kobe Bryant was still a top star in the '13 regular season, and he looks like he still has the potential to tap into.

Pierce still averaged 18 points per game and shot 43% from the field in '13, making him a fairly consistent and reliable scorer.

In some games, he was still able to score 40 or 35 points in a single game to help the team win.

Although Garnett's average points per game dropped to 14.8 points and rebounds also dropped to single digits, Garnett was selected as an All-Star this year.

After he switched to the No. 5 position, the defensive performance has improved compared to last season, and it is clear that he is a good choice for the No. 5 position in this era of center withering.

Under the wash of time, although the Celtic triumvirate inevitably decayed and eventually disintegrated, in general, they did not die violently, but gradually aged in the face of the force majeure of time.

The Green Army system built with Garnett as the core has always maintained a strong competitiveness, and Garnett has also proved to people how durable a defensive superstar can be when they encounter the right system.

If he had come to the Celtics earlier, and had the Big Three earlier, his honors and achievements in basketball might not have been below Tim Duncan.

It is precisely because the three veterans are still performing very well that the Nets have the determination to trade the three of them by hollowing out their families.

There is good news, of course, there is bad news, and the bad news is that the bloody lessons before have shown that it is even more difficult for this twilight giant combination to win the championship.

In the NBA, new forces are always stepping on the old forces, which is the most cruel and charming part of sports.

The young teams in the east and west are rising rapidly, and the old forces and patterns in the east and west have actually been broken in the past two years.

LeBron James in the East tried to establish his own rule, but the Heat were not equal, and the Nets rose again.

Dwight Howard signed a two-year extension with the Heat, Nash opted to retire, and the Heat added Nate Robinson to free agency.

Riley persuaded Ray Allen and Lewis to play for another year, while adding Matt Barnes up front and Lamar Odom was let go.

After the Nets had the Big Four, the Russian owner also took his fellow countryman, AK47 Kirilenko, to further enhance the depth of the front line.

With Rose's injury still showing no signs of improvement, the East has changed from the Cavaliers, Heat, Bulls, and Celtics semi-finals in previous seasons to the Nets, Heat, and Cavaliers.

As for who that one is, it could be the Pacers or the Knicks, but neither of them can really form a championship impact.

As for the West, the three giants represented by the Lake, Horse, and Bull have been picked off in the playoffs one after another, while the Suns have been unable to enter the playoffs.

The Warriors, Grizzlies, and Thunder have risen as emerging forces in the West and will gradually take over the playoffs in the West for years to come.

Of course, the Clippers have opened a notch gap with all the above teams, and they are even on the rise after two consecutive championships, and they are well-deserved hegemons.

In the playoffs in the 13th season, they had a 16-2 record, second only to the Lakers in 2001, the 76ers in 1983, and the Spurs in 1999.

In the new season, the biggest challenge for the Clippers is, of course, three consecutive championships.

Phil Jackson once said that in modern basketball, three consecutive championships is the limit.

But any team that can win three consecutive championships is a well-deserved and indisputable dynasty.

The Spurs, who are as strong as Duncan, the Lakers of Magic, the Celtics of Larry Bird, the Rockets of Olajuwon, and the Pistons of Chuck Daly, have all fallen on the road to a three-peat.

In the three consecutive championships after the Celtics in 1969, Phil Jackson monopolized it, and his ability as a coach is undoubted, pulling others a notch.

Now, the young Clippers have a chance to pull off their fourth triple championship since Jackson, and if that happens, the Clippers will be the undisputed king of Los Angeles at the moment.

The defending champions of the Clippers were quiet again this offseason and did nothing.

For them, doing nothing is the best reinforcement.

As long as it remains stable, the Clippers have plenty of potential to tap into.

Management gave Curry a contract with a maximum salary in the summer, as previously agreed.

At the beginning, Curry was worried about an ankle injury, and surgery would affect his career.

Min Congda decisively gave a verbal promise that he would definitely renew his contract with the highest salary in the summer of 13.

Curry then had surgery and recovered quite well, playing MVP-caliber performances on the way to two consecutive championships.

This maximum salary is well deserved for him.

In addition to Curry, Harden also got a four-year, 60 million contract.

For Harden, who has always been more casual and natural, and does not even have an agent, he is already very satisfied with 60 million in 4 years.

Under the governance of Min Congda, the Clippers management adhered to the principles of "should be continued" and "no major mistakes will not be terminated", and made the Clippers' player contracts into a system.

Anyway, as long as you come, sign a contract, and are willing to continue fighting, I will continue to renew it for you, and continue until you can't fight, don't want to play, and it's not worth the price.

This comfortable and stable working atmosphere makes the young people of the team willing to work hard and train hard, because the salary is really high.

It's October, summer is going to be autumn, and the 2013-2014 season of the team's training camp is about to begin, and the players will gather to prepare for the new season.

As is customary, a strategy meeting is held within the team before each training camp to determine the team's goals and strategic ideas for the new season.

Since the beginning of the 09-10 season, Min Congda has participated in meetings every time to convey the guiding ideology to the whole team, and this year is of course no exception.

The entire coaching staff, as well as Mike Dunleavy and Jerry West from the advisory panel, and Olshea from the management team, attended the meeting.

After a summer of mentality change and four years of long-term emotional accumulation, Min Congda finally broke through the fog and decided to show his strength this season to help the Clippers win the championship and achieve the great cause of three consecutive championships!

At the beginning of the meeting, Min Congda still had his straight to the point style and asked directly: "Everyone, what is our goal for the new season, tell me!" ”

Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other for a moment, thinking to themselves if there was any need to ask?

"Of course, everybody has a ball!"

Min Congda spurted out a mouthful of old blood, what are you talking about?

Our two-time champion team shouldn't be fighting for three consecutive championships!
