After the Clippers' first loss to the Lakers, Min Congda's only good news was that he had an extra $2,000 in loss wages on his account.

Now, 2,000 dollars can't arouse his excitement, and he originally thought of making some criticism of the league whistle after the game, and then get a board to earn him 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

Who knows that in the face of criticism, the alliance actually put on an attitude of "accept it with an open mind, but don't change" The dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, anyway, Smart can scold you, I didn't hear it.

It can be seen that the alliance is also afraid, and a fine of one million dollars can't stop Min Congda's mouth, but the more he scolds, the louder he scolds, so what's the point of the fine, it can't deter at all.

And the fine is a small amount of money for the league, and now the NBA, under the leadership of Adam Silva, has successfully emerged from the shadow of the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009.

ESPN and Turner TV are currently in talks with the league to sign a new TV contract with the NBA that expires in the summer of 2016.

Driven by Adam Silva, the contract is said to have the potential to be worth as much as $2.5 billion a year.

The current NBA broadcast contract came into effect in 2008 and costs $7.4 billion over eight years, with an average annual broadcast fee of only about $900 million.

$2.5 billion, a nearly three-fold increase, which not only means that the league's total income is guaranteed, but also means that the amount of players' contracts will increase dramatically.

Of course, negotiations are still ongoing, which is the most important part of the league's work at the moment, and David Stern, who has retired, personally stepped in to accompany Adam Silva to negotiate with him, in an effort to win this super big cake and pave the way for the further development of the NBA in the future.

Therefore, the focus of the league's work is also in these long-term areas, as for Smart, you have to scold the referee, let it be, I don't have time to deal with you.

Min Congda inevitably felt lost, and he thought he had to do something.

On October 30th, Min Congda came to the office early in the morning and finished reading the relevant reports after the first match day as usual.

Curry's failure and the Clippers' loss to the Lakers were naturally the headlines of the NBA news that day, and the Los Angeles media was really wall-to-wall, praising the Lakers, Paul and Rivers.

It must be admitted that the arrival of Rivers has indeed injected fresh blood into the Lakers, and there is a new feeling in terms of tactical concepts and employment styles.

Phil Jackson is a great coach, but no one can always be ahead of the curve.

Great as Auerbach, by the late 80s, he couldn't keep up with the trend, he couldn't understand the NBA trading rules, and he couldn't play anymore.

The essence of Jackson's coaching and management, his lifelong experience and strategy, was shattered by the New Age Stuff in '11 and '12.

Rivers, on the other hand, brought a more fluid and sharp offense to the fast three-point era and fully motivated the bench players.

Let the entire Lakers show a new vitality.

Of course, no one knows how long this vitality will last.

"Cut, what a new look, just won a game and just so blind Gil blows!"

"With a 50 percent three-point shooting rate and a total of 41 points off the bench, how can you still be so bullish every game? I don't believe it! ”

"The next game the Lakers are bound to lose! I'm going to make a post to predict it. ”

In fact, what happened to the Lakers, Min Congda didn't really care, he was most concerned about the Clippers.

Looking at what fans and pundits have to say about the Clippers, a common argument is that it's not a good thing to let Curry score too many points.

"Curry scored 33 points, the ball was in Curry's hands, and the rest of the Clippers didn't have a chance to play."

"The Clippers are still a team at heart, and Curry is the core, but they shouldn't have such a high shot."

"Curry only averages about 22 points per game, and if he is forced to shoot so much, his efficiency will decrease."

"Curry is a phenomenal player, but his body is too thin for him to digest so many balls."

Min Congda is disdainful of this kind of evaluation, and he still knows how many pounds and taels Curry has.

Curry's strength is actually underrated, and people think that he is only accurate for three-point shooting, completely unaware that his impact on the offensive end is groundbreaking and unprecedented.

However, there was one comment that made Min Congda feel like a man:

"The key to the Clippers' success is average, their youth army is very talented, everybody is strong. But once you want someone to be the core, it will inevitably cause imbalance. Internal stability could be broken, and this year's third championship will be a big challenge for the Clippers. ”

This is exactly what Min Congda has been worried about for the past two days.

Curry wanted to win the MVP, but the mentality of others was unbalanced, the internal small group was rampant, and the cohesion within the team gradually lacked, and finally fell apart.

It is not uncommon for young soldiers like this to have a lot of fun when they are young, and it is not uncommon for them to go their own way when they grow up, and many times they become the wedding dress of his team.

The 3J of the calf parted ways in order to fight for the woman.

"But Curry has a wife, so it shouldn't be."

According to the brain circuit of a normal person, what should be done at this time should be to chat with the players more and understand their inner thoughts.

If there is a conflict, try to coordinate and appease, and use both grace and power to eliminate the contradiction in the bud.

With Min Congda's authority on the Clippers, it's not hard to do that.

But Min Congda, in addition to being talented in basketball, his thinking in other aspects is really different from ordinary people and different.

Of course, if he were like an ordinary person, he would not have been able to bring the Clippers to this height.

Min Congda thought to himself, isn't there exactly one spot missing from the Clippers' current roster?

I'm now trying to find a way to bring in a new guy, give him a guaranteed contract, and then make this guy my own, what is there to report to myself, won't he be able to understand the situation in the locker room?

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and intelligence work must be done well.

That's right, thinking that the locker room might split, Min Congda's first reaction was to plant another spy in it!

He immediately greeted Ida and said, "Ada, let Fan Chen come to my office!" ”

Three minutes later, Fan Chen arrived at Min Congda's office, the second day he officially came to work for the Clippers.

Min Congda said: "You've been working for two days, as a scout, you are familiar with the free agents who have not been signed in the league yet, right?" ”

Fan Chen pointed to his head and said, "I was familiar with everything last night, and I remembered it in my mind." ”

Min Congda said: "Okay! You find me a player like this, who has a more loyal and down-to-earth personality, preferably a foreigner, not an American black. If you can understand a little bit of Chinese culture and communicate with me without barriers, the kind of person who has played CBA is the best. But in terms of personality, it is best to have some communicative skills and not be too boring. The age can't be too young, 18 or 19 young people don't understand people. What are the abilities...... It doesn't matter, that's not the point. You want to be a more versatile player, you think about it, is there such a thing. ”

For Min Congda, Fan Chen is simply a humanoid indexer, a humanoid artificial intelligence question-and-answer machine.

When Fan Chen heard such a request, he thought: "Are you looking for a signed player, or are you looking for a blind date?" The key TM turned out to be character, not ability. ”

However, Fan Chen thought for a while and still gave his answer, "There is a Chinese player named Bruce Lee, what do you think?" ”
