Curry's words stunned Min Congda, and at the same time, a bad premonition hit.

It's good for a player to want to win the MVP, but it's not necessarily a good thing for a team.

Min Congda knew that the reason why the Lakers fell apart at the beginning of the three-time championship was because Kobe Bryant "wanted to win an MVP".

He is unwilling to be the second oldest player on the Lakers, unwilling to be under a lazy fat man, unwilling to be a deputy for the rest of his life, unable to really catch up with Michael Jordan.

In the NBA, where heroism is rampant, it is not a shame to want to be an MVP and a boss, but it is glorious.

Of course, Curry was originally the nominal boss of the team, he was the first champion selected by Min Congda, the "draft miracle" in 09, and Min Congda's biggest political achievement project.

Min Congda's "tolerance" and "training" of Curry are well known, when Lao Deng wanted to train Curry to become a traditional point guard, no one in the whole league was optimistic about this thin guy, only Min Congda's "discerning eyes", and he demanded that he must let go of his hands and feet and let Curry develop freely.

As a result, Curry used his historic three-point shooting to open up a new world of NBA techniques and tactics, and with his thin body, he became the cornerstone of the Clippers' championship division.

Curry's success is inseparable from Min Congda's support, Min Congda's protection and connivance, and the relationship between the two is even better in private.

Everyone else calls Min Congda "Mr. Smart", but Curry always calls "Smart", indicating the intimacy of the two.

In the Finals in '12 and '13, Curry was a well-deserved Finals MVP, and he also won a three-point title in the All-Star Game.

Now he is mainly missing a regular season MVP and a slam dunk king on his honor book.

If the Clippers continue to dominate the regular season in the new season, and Curry can play super numbers, he will indeed be the MVP.

But the problem is that Curry's current playing time is dictated, and it will be difficult for him to play super stats - scoring 25 or even 30 points and assisting 8 times.

Because the Clippers use a large rotation method and have a lot of people playing, Curry is an absolute core who averages only 29 minutes per game and 31 minutes in the playoffs.

The 29-minute playing time is about 5-10 minutes less than the average core player, and the 5-10 minute time shrinks by about 15%-30%.

The data has shrunk by nearly a third, so how can you still compete for MVP?

So, Curry is just the "nominally" boss of the Clippers, not the real boss.

In terms of personality, he was born in a family of stars, and he has lived in good conditions since he was a child, lacking the ruthlessness of being the boss of the team, and is too cheerful and gentle.

Of course, the good thing about this is that the Clippers have a harmonious atmosphere as a team, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for the team.

However, when Curry wants to take the biggest personal accolades, these are all problems.

If you want better stats, you have to increase your playing time, and if you play for a long time, you have to squeeze out the playing time of other players.

Other players have less playing time, and they have to play around Curry's core, the statistics will definitely shrink, the performance on the court will be affected, and personal honors and contracts will definitely be affected.

If Curry is the absolute boss like Kobe Bryant and Iverson, there is a high probability that other players will not complain, or dare to be angry but dare not speak, or simply leave to go elsewhere to make a big difference.

It's just that Curry is not, he has been fighting with everyone for four years, everyone is a brother, you want to win the MVP, what should you do with the brothers? Will the co-authoring make a wedding dress for you?

Min Congda's heart turned sharply, he had already thought that because Curry wanted to win the MVP, the Clippers would cause the players to be uneven, torn apart, and form gangs, and finally the morale of the whole team collapsed, and the third championship failed!

Min Congda asked in his heart, "Why don't you want to win the MVP early, don't you want to win the MVP later, but you want to win it at this time?" But when I want to win three consecutive championships, why don't you give me trouble? ”

He instantly felt the malice of fate.

However, he calmed down and asked Curry: "Stephen, if you want to win the MVP, you have to increase your playing time and change the current team's tactical distribution and system, don't you think it's a disservice to the team?" What would others think? ”

Curry said, "I know, but everyone discussed it during training camp, and everyone supported me to win the regular season MVP next season." ”

Min Congda was surprised when he heard this, and said, "What? You've already discussed? Support you to be an MVP? I... How did I not know and why? ”

Curry smiled mysteriously and said, "Because I gave them a condition that they couldn't refuse." ”

After that, the two did not continue the topic, and Min Congda ostensibly agreed with Curry's idea and continued to let him be himself and fight for what he wanted.

But when he got home, he felt uneasy, did these bastards make some deal in private, or did Curry start to form a gang?

It is very possible that a team has about 15 people and 8-9 core players, and Curry himself is the absolute core, and he can form his own force as long as he attracts 4-5 people.

Especially with the support of veterans like Randolph, so that even if some people on the team have opposing ideas, they will be suppressed, and Curry's central position will be ensured.

Thinking of this, Min Congda began to worry again: "This kid used to secretly form a gang in private, why didn't I find out?" Damn, I'm still too relaxed about the management of the team! How can this work? But what do I do next? Could it be that I pulled the players over to talk one by one? No, this trick doesn't work well on the basketball team, and maybe it will cause the players to be disgusted. ”

Min Congda, who ignored the team before, now feels that he does not control the team enough, and he doesn't know anything with a black eye.

In four years, a group of stable players playing together is indeed enough to form a stable small group.

When I wanted to run for head coach between Kerr and Tyronn Lue, the Clippers had the foundation and tendency to form two factions.

It's just that Min Congda ignored it later, and he didn't know what had become of the Clippers' locker room now.

Thinking that Ricky Davis had retired and there was a vacancy in the team's squad, Min Congda came up with an idea: he wanted to sign another player as a spy on his players and be placed in the locker room!

Of course, what Min Congda didn't know was that on the next game day, at noon, the team had a simple warm-up shooting drill, and Curry happily announced a message to his teammates in the locker room:

"Mr. Smart agrees, I'm chasing the regular season MVP next season!"

Everyone congratulated and expressed their support, and then looked at Harden unanimously and said, "James, you're next." ”

"Next up is Marc Gasol."

"And then there's Paul George."

"Leonard should be next, right?"

"I think Butler can do it, two people can compete!"

"When will it be me?"

"You'd better wait 18 or 19 years!"
