I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 217 Dugu seeks defeat (fourth update)

"Because it's close."

This is the most perfect answer Min Congda got in many interviews.

Min Congda didn't believe those nagging inspirational stories, or just made up the relationship between him and the Clippers - who the hell liked the Clippers since he was a child.

They just want to gain the trust of Min Congda, strive to be selected into the league, and then play well in the Clippers.

They are eager to grow up and know that the Clippers are short of people at the third position. They can become a youth army with Curry and Gasol Jr.

These are what Min Congda doesn't want to see, the youth army who went to NM, the three young men and the three heroes who went to NM.

Come to the Clippers to play, because it is close, this is the best reason.

It fully reflects the hesitation mentality of a weak family-loving teenager facing future challenges.

He just wants to find a team close to home to play, so that he can go home and see his mother in his spare time.

During the offseason, you don’t need to fly back and forth by plane, you can go to the creeks and ponds in Palm Springs, Los Angeles to fish and eat barbecue.

Holding several million dollars a year, relying on good talent to fool around, working for seven or eight years, and getting tens of millions of dollars in salary.

Use this money to invest and buy a house, enough for the rest of your life to live comfortably.

You can also rely on your own emotional intelligence or network to find a job in the NBA and receive a salary until retirement.

This little day is really boundless joy, many times better than those black ordinary people who are struggling on the verge of food and clothing.

It's no wonder that these black boys are desperate to enter the high-paying circle of the NBA. Their fate has indeed changed completely.

Min Congda thought a lot for a while, and he made arrangements for Paul George's life after retirement.

He has a good impression of George, a thin young man, and he has secretly decided in his heart that he will be selected in this year's draft.

I just don't know if there are any other teams interested in George, especially the top teams.

Min Congda asked, "Have you tried out for any other teams?"

George replied truthfully: "Been to the Pacers, Indiana."

"Do you want to play in Indiana?"

"Emmm... don't really think about it, it's too far away."

George wasn't talking nonsense, he was telling the truth, he really thought Indiana was too far away.

Although he met the former superstar Larry Bird in the Pacers.

The Pacers were very rigorous about his trial training and interviews, and conducted all-round inspections.

And Bird is quite satisfied with him, saying that he may win him with the tenth overall pick.

However, George never thought about going to Indiana to play. His only impression of there was cornfields, racing cars and Reggie Miller.

Miller, like Paul George, is also a player from California.

His first reaction after being selected by the Pacers in the draft was: Where is TM's Indiana?

As a result, Miller stayed in Indiana for 20 years.

George couldn't imagine what it would be like to spend 20 years in Indiana.

When he was in college, he chose the obscure University of Fresno because it was in California.

Close to home, he can go home at any time, and at the same time, his family can come to school to watch him play.

Unlike some black players who don't even know who their father is, George has a complete and happy family.

And his father loves him very much. In order to help his son fulfill his basketball dream, he works two jobs a day.

That's better than those black fathers who donate a tadpole and then disappear.

He also has a good older sister who practiced with him since he was a child.

This is very similar to Reggie Miller, except that Reggie Miller's sister is too rough, and Reggie can't beat it.

Players from such families will not be as stubborn and surly as those single-parent children.

Most of them are soft on the outside and strong on the inside, hiding their sharp spots.

Curry is such a young man, and Min Congda is obviously not good at psychology.

Didn't learn from Curry at all, and felt that Paul George was lazy and weak.

During the intermission, Min Congda consulted the scouting team for their opinions.

Piomberti shook his head and said, "He's too casual and undisciplined. And his static talent isn't very good, worse than Aminu's. He's too thin."

When Piombetty mentioned "thin", it should have aroused Min Congda's vigilance.

Because Curry's evaluation was too thin.

It's a pity that Min Congda couldn't listen, he just thought Paul George was good.

It is very suitable to be a mixed player and contribute to the team's poor performance.

And the scouts were still talking bad about George, which undoubtedly strengthened Min Congda's thinking.

Big brother, if the Clippers scouts are reliable, can they be what they are today?

Min Congda will definitely not listen to the opinions of the scout team, I have made up my mind!

During the draft, as long as there is no team that robs halfway, Min Congda will win George.

If someone robs him halfway, then Min Congda will give the choice to God.

Number the young people in the lottery, roll the dice, and whoever gets it wins.

In fact, a team like the Clippers rolls the dice and draws lots among a group of lottery rookies every year in the draft, which may be better than it is now.

In the second half of the finals, the Celtics still maintained their lead over the Lakers.

The game between the two sides has come to a real heat, and every score is a battle.

Kobe, the original scoring maniac, tried his best to grab every rebound while hitting the iron in this game.

It could be seen that Kobe, as well as nine other players on the field, were giving their lives to play.

In fact, Min Congda doesn't really understand some things. Is it that important to be a champion?

Anyway, the money is taken, and ten people fighting for a ball on the court is, to put it bluntly, a game.

Many people regard it as their entire pursuit in life, and it is certainly worth it from a monetary point of view.

But what if there is no money?Not so many people like it, in the era when professional leagues were underdeveloped.

Will people still give everything for a championship like this?

After one season passed, Min Congda was still confused.

He saw Paul George staring at the court with special seriousness and concentration.

The whole person was very nervous, and it could be seen from his expression that he supported the Lakers.

Min Congda asked abruptly, "Are you a Kobe fan?"

Paul George nodded subconsciously, then felt something was wrong.

He hurriedly said: "I... I am also a fan of the Clippers."

Min Congda smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's not ashamed to be a Lakers fan."

George lowered his head and continued to watch the game between the Lakers and the Celtics.

At the age of 10, George witnessed the Lakers and Kobe winning the championship at Staples.

That summer he put Kobe's poster on the bedroom wall, and then imitated Kobe's movements on the court every day.

Like many kids who love basketball, he longed to play like Kobe one day, to compete with Kobe.

Ten minutes later, the Lakers, who had trailed by more than ten points since the first quarter, completed a tenacious reversal.

Although in Min Congda's opinion, there was some help from the referee, the referee played a role in some key calls.

However, the Lakers still won the game, with a 4-point advantage, won the tie-break, breaking the myth of the Celtics' undefeated tie-break in the finals.

At the end of the game, Kobe ran madly at Staples with the ball, then rushed to the technical stage and yelled at the fans.

He truly crowned the king of Los Angeles, he completed his great revenge against the Celtics, fulfilled his ultimate wish, and his life was completed.

Paul George couldn't control his emotions, and shouted loudly in the VIP box. He didn't want to hide his identity as a Lakers and Kobe fan.

Even if it will arouse the disgust of the Clippers management.

Seeing his excited and selfless appearance, Min Congda suddenly felt envious of him.

"It's a good thing for young people to focus on winning without distractions. Victory is something that makes everyone happy."

"And I, Min Congda, can only seek defeat alone. It's really lonely. You boy will follow me in the future, but you will suffer from losing."
