Chapter 638: Poor Hardware (1st Update)

Kobe Bryant's return to Los Angeles for the first time in the new season is big news for Los Angeles fans.

Although the opponent is not the Lakers but the Clippers, people are still looking forward to Kobe's return and what kind of wonderful performance he will bring.

Because of Kobe, the ticket price of this game between the Clippers and the Nets was speculated, and the highest ticket price for the front row seat exceeded $2,000.

A ticket is worth Min Congda's loss salary for a game, and the Clippers can undoubtedly make a lot of money at the box office.

One statistic worth paying attention to this season is that the Clippers' average box office revenue per game in the regular season has now surpassed that of the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time since the Clippers relocated to Los Angeles.

Even in the '90s, when the Lakers were at their worst, the Lakers' average box office revenue per game far exceeded that of the Clippers — because the Clippers were worse at that time.

The Clippers have won the hearts of Los Angeles fans with four seasons, two championship trophies, and a head-to-head playoff victory.

The day before the game, in the afternoon, Rosser reported to Min Congda in his office on the team's weekly box office sales.

"In the last 9 games, counting this 10 games, 5 of them are home, and the attendance rate has reached 100%, and if you count the previous long-term season tickets, as well as the price of package tickets, the average single box office revenue has exceeded $1 million."

As he spoke, Rosser handed the weekly report to Min Congda and let Min Congda look at it.

In the early years, the Clippers insisted on a strategy of no or less discount on fares, and as the team's record became more and more popular, the result was a significant increase in revenue.

It shows that in the final analysis, selling tickets still depends on the strength and record of the team, playing well, and the fans with expensive tickets also come to see, if you don't play well, no one will necessarily come for nothing.

Min Congda looked at the weekly report handed by Rose, skimmed it briefly, and said, "The price of our tickets is too high, so we have to take care of the working class." More discounts and more packages, so that ordinary fans also have the ability to watch the game. Also, strictly crack down on scalpers! I heard that some tickets have been sold to $2,000 a ticket now, what does this look like? How can the working class enjoy the high-level competition? ”

Rosser asked, "Mr. Smart, it's not discounted, but the Clippers' long-term ticketing strategy, why, is it going to be discounted all of a sudden?" ”

Min Congda said: "Strategies change over time, have you ever seen a strategy that never changes? Is our team always using the same tactics? ”

Rosser hurriedly said: "You are right, I will immediately call a meeting with the people from the ticketing department to convey Mr. Smart's ideas and formulate a new fare sales strategy." I think the Clippers need everyone to have the ball to play, and the fans in Los Angeles need everyone to watch the ball. ”

"Okay, okay, don't draw inferences! Leave me alone! ”

Rosser took the information and immediately left the office, and it could be seen that Min Congda was a little irritable.

The recent performance of the Clippers can only be said to be okay, with 9 games, 6 wins and 3 losses, tied for fourth place in the West.

If you look at the specific process, you will find that the Clippers have won hard and lost happily in recent games.

Playing the Kings, Rockets, and Magic were all easy wins with big scores, but they went to Miami to face the Heat and were beaten by their old rivals in the Finals, losing by 14 points at 91:105.

Then he returned to the home court to send the Timberwolves, and the two sides fought until overtime, and finally the Clippers relied on Gasol Jr.'s mid-range shooting to win the game with difficulty.

In the last game against the Thunder, the whole game was suppressed by the Thunder, 110:120, 10 points disadvantage lost to a strong contender in the West.

Durant and Westbrook combined for 62 points, breaking through the Clippers' proud No. 3 forward wall, Leonard, George, and Butler faced Durant, and no one was able to play it.

According to the information fed back by Li Liang, there have been "discordant" voices in the Clippers locker room, which is ultimately due to "unreasonable distribution of the ball", "small groups fighting each other", "Harden doesn't pass the ball to Curry much", which confirmed Min Congda's worries before.

But as for how to develop different tactics to reconcile the distribution of the ball between various small groups, Min Congda has not yet given a good plan.

Although he has excellent talent and talent in basketball tactics, designing a set of tactics and rotations requires a lot of accumulation and experience, and it takes a lot of time and games to run in and experiment, not just think about it.

At the beginning, he went through a lot of information and worked with Ada to come up with a passing and cutting system, because he didn't want the Clippers to be good at all, so he just made a thing that he thought was outdated and let the Clippers put it in.

In the end, the passing can become an effective system in the Clippers, which is inseparable from the hard work of Steve Kerr, he and Min Congda's ideas coincide, there is a set of effective training methods, after a season, two seasons of repeated drills, actual combat, adjustments, plus Curry, Gasol Jr., Harden This group of players has a very high ball quotient, only to blossom and bear fruit, and have the current achievements.

Now Min Congda wants to build four sets of systems that meet the characteristics of different players, take different people as the core, and have different rotation strategies, and place them in the same team and the same 15 people, which is an incredible amount of work.

Min Congda is talented, extremely keen on tactics and strategies, and extremely adaptable, but if there is any flaw, it is that the IQ is not high enough, and the computing power is a bit poor.

Similar to a computer, one of his basketball-related software is particularly well designed, the algorithm is extremely advanced, can quickly process various situations, graphics, data, and give accurate results, and is very creative.

But the processor of the computer is not good, others are already core, this guy is still 286, 386.

As a result, the single processing capacity is very strong, the batch processing ability is very poor, and it is not possible to perform large-scale complex calculations, because it will crash directly.

Min Congda is now looking at the four small groups, and he has ideas and directions in his head, but the complicated rotation, as well as how to train and run in later, is a mess, and his CPU is about to smoke.

He very much needs someone who can come out and help him record and sort out his ideas, and it is best to integrate his ideas and inspirations to build a perfect and harmonious system.

Min Congda vaguely felt that it could be completed, but the specific refinement was inconclusive, just like generating a picture, the mosaic color blocks came out, and the specific picture just couldn't be loaded.

It stands to reason that the head coach should be Min Congda's best helper, after all, he will be the executor in the future.

But as far as Tyronn Lu's CPU, even Min Congda is not as good as Min Congda, Min Congda is smoking, and Director Lu doesn't explode directly?

Mike Malone is diligent enough and has a lot of ideas, but with his current workload, it would be better to let him do this job than just let him die.

After thinking about it, Min Congda finally thought of someone, and he immediately let Ida come in and said, "Ada, where is Fan Chen now?" ”

Ida said: "Fan Chen is on a business trip to Europe. ”

"Went to Europe? Send a message and hurry up to get him back, there is more important work waiting for him here. ”
