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

Chapter 223 South Coast (Fifth)
Min Congda asked Fan Chen for more details.

Fan Chen said that at present, he is still at a loss as to how to carry out basketball talent discovery activities.

If you don't cooperate with the government in China, it is almost impossible to move an inch.

After much deliberation, it seems that there are only two ways to recruit people by holding training camps, and holding challenges to attract teams with high bonuses.

However, these two methods are used to lose money and make money, and it is okay to advertise for YouTube and the Clippers.

If you want to dig out some basketball talents seriously, it may be even more difficult based on the domestic basketball education foundation.

Seeing Fan Chen in such a difficult situation, Min Congda was relieved. He especially emphasized: "We must rely on our own efforts and do not borrow official resources. If it is difficult to find seedlings, you can find younger children, 13 or 14 years old. Start training from scratch. I am patient, and I will train for five or six years, don’t care about money, we will invest in it for a long time.”

Min Congda's idea is that if you get the kind of young people who have practiced in 17 or 8, especially those from the provincial team and the national junior team.

Come to the Clippers for training and packaging. If you really get someone who can play in the NBA, you will be in big trouble.

Just look for ordinary kids who are 13, 14 years old, or even younger. Even if they are a little talented, they will have to work hard for five or six years.

He doesn't believe that there are ordinary parents in China who are willing to let their children not go to school for five or six years to play basketball.

Even if there is, it is estimated that they will play for fun, exercise their bodies to increase their knowledge, or have one more skill to be able to enter the university in the future.

Why do you want to play in the NBA or go to the United States? With the domestic attitude towards sports culture, it is very, very difficult.

Fan Chen expressed his understanding, but he felt that Min Congda was really good for Chinese basketball.

It's not just to come here temporarily to make a fortune, but to really spread basketball culture.

Fan Chen thought to himself, in this great China, is there not a seedling who can enter the highest hall of basketball?

There must be, but for various reasons, their talents have been buried, and they can only be ordinary people for the rest of their lives.

It can only be said that the fate of a person must consider not only personal talent and struggle, but also the process of history.

Basketball geniuses like Michael Jordan, Kobe, and James can become superstars in today's environment.

200 years earlier, there must have been black people with long hands and feet and amazing talents, but basketball was not invented at that time.

Their talent does nothing more than allow them to pick more cotton on the plantation.

Although China's basketball environment is not as good as that of the United States, it is definitely much better than in the past, driven by Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming and others, and with the development of the country's overall environment.

In 2010, the domestic economic development survived the financial crisis in 2008 and was still thriving.

The whole society is full of confidence in the future. After the 2008 Olympic Games, national self-confidence has risen unprecedentedly, and the overall atmosphere is open.

In this social environment, Fan Chen felt that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to find the next Chinese player to enter the NBA.

Even if there is only one, it is victory.

By then, the course of history will have changed accordingly.

Changed because of Min Congda's decision.

Thinking of this, Fan Chen couldn't help feeling passionate.

He has always been a relatively indifferent person, and few things can disturb his emotions.

That night, he suffered from insomnia, for the first time in his life, because of a man.

Fan Chen is definitely not the only one who suffers from insomnia tonight, there are also two people who are in the whirlpool of trading——James Harden and Eric Gordon.

NBA-Batman's account was the first to reveal the deal, which instantly ignited public opinion.

The media called the Clippers and the Thunder for confirmation. After getting affirmative answers, the major media began to forward and discuss a lot.

This is the first transaction that occurred during this offseason. Before the free market opened in July, there was a warm-up warm-up.

The Clippers media and fans certainly don't understand why Gordon, who played well last season, was traded.

Gordon, who averaged 15 points per game and performed well on the defensive end, was replaced by Harden, who averaged only 9.9 points per game and felt inferior in all aspects.

Some Clippers fans wrote to the Clippers officials one after another, asking why Gordon was traded away.

The reporter contacted Ruiqielai, hoping to get some news and revelations from him.

But Rickley knew nothing about the deal, and could only respond: "I only found out about the deal after reading Twitter, sorry. Go watch NBA-Batman."

The NBA-Batman account has become popular again this time, and now not only fans and players, but even coaches and management have begun to pay attention to this account.

The speed of sending news is fast and accurate, and there are always some small gossips to adjust the atmosphere, which is much more fun than those serious sports media.

Soon Gordon also made comments on social media, saying that he was confused about why he was traded and felt very sad.

The same is true for Harden on the opposite side. He had a good and comfortable life in the Thunder. How could he be traded away in just one season?
Only Bledsoe doesn't matter, he didn't go anywhere anyway, wherever he was sent, he went to play.

In short, before July 7, the trade between the Thunder and the Clippers became the focus.

In order to give the fans an explanation and divert attention, Min Congda sent another tweet:
"It is rumored that during the 2010 All-Star Game, Smart Min and Harden met in a Dallas nightclub, and Smart Min recruited Harden privately."

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of Alliance President Stern.

The league office immediately issued a statement, saying it would investigate the matter, and if Smart did recruit illegally, he would be fined.

Min Congda was overjoyed when he saw the news, and actively cooperated with the alliance investigation, and personally sent someone to the airport to pick up the investigators from New York.

Unexpectedly, there was his good friend Arnold Lanci in the same company.

Lan Qi found an opportunity to talk to Min Congda alone, and he revealed to Min Congda: "The alliance may want to arrest you as a model, and the maximum fine may reach 50 US dollars."

Min Congda's eyes widened when he heard that, $50, then he is really rich!

This windfall must not be lost, and Stern's can't be punished, so I must be punished.

When the time comes to investigate, I will definitely explain it honestly, and I will say what I should say and what should not be said.

Lan Qi thought that Min Congda was worried, and comforted him: "However, this deal will not be affected, and the alliance has already approved it."

He didn't particularly care about trading Min Congda, he just wanted the league to issue him a ticket as soon as possible.

"Also, this public opinion incident will pass soon, and July 7st will come soon, when the real public opinion storm will come."

Min Congda agreed that this year's free market is the place of storms, but the Clippers were already on vacation at that time.

The two kept chatting, and Lan Qi suddenly asked Min Congda: "Smart, which team do you think LeBron James will go to?"

Min Congda shook his head, he thought it would be fine as long as James didn't come to the Clippers.

However, the memory before the crossing in his mind was mobilized, because James was one of the NBA characters he rarely knew in the past.

He vaguely remembered that a major event related to James did happen in the summer of 2010. At that time, many classmates watching basketball were discussing it.

He can't remember exactly what it is, it should have something to do with where James is going, and he just remembers "Talent brought to the South Coast."

At that time, many people said this sentence, but they didn't know what it meant. It seemed to be a kind of ridicule?
"South Coast, South Coast? Hey Lankey, what's the South Coast of America?"

"The South Coast? The South Coast is Florida, where Miami and Orlando are."

Min Congda suddenly understood where James had gone.
