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

Chapter 24 There is something
Min Congda now needs some psychological support and comfort.

Like many gamblers, he becomes superstitious once he places his bets.

It was a gamble for Min Congda to pick Curry in the draft, but the opening time was a bit long, which made him feel very tormented.

Before today's game, Min Congda was very confident, because everyone thought he made a bad choice.

Various comments and voices are pointing out that Curry is not a top pick material, and his NBA career must be unsatisfactory.

This is exactly the effect Min Congda wants, so he eats well and is full of confidence. He gives Curry full trust and investment, and contributes to his bad plan.

But Curry's first performance in the summer league revealed a corner of the basketball court that Min Congda didn't understand. Curry might not be as bad as he thought.

After the game, Min Congda went to Goup.com and looked at the comments of netizens. Most people didn't pay much attention to the summer league. There was no live broadcast signal, so everyone could only look at the post-match statistics.

There are only a few posts and comments, but they are all praising Curry for his high efficiency, 25 points in the half is worthy of being the number one pick.

"It seems that the Clippers used the No. [-] pick to win Curry, which is not necessarily a bad choice."

There was a post saying this, which immediately put Min Congda in a bad mood.

How the hell isn't this a bad choice?Do you know how to play?

A Chinese netizen, who has never watched the video of the game, can he understand it just by looking at the data?
But someone replied immediately, saying: "Look at the performance of Griffin next door, and you will know what the real No. [-] pick is."

Min Congda watched the game played by the Grizzlies yesterday. Griffin scored 29 points and 12 rebounds, the highest in the game.

Although there are only data, Min Congda still thinks this performance is really good.

"This netizen still knows how to play football. It is amazing to know the level of a player only through statistics."

The mood is so ups and downs, where can Min Congda eat dinner?

It happened that Ada said that there will be Griffin's game tomorrow morning, so he will go to watch it and find out what the real No. [-] pick is like.

On July 7, the summer league continued at the University of Nevada Stadium.

A total of 21 NBA teams and one NBDL Development League team participated in this summer league.

Although there are a large number of teams, because each team only plays five games, not every team has a chance to play against each other.

Compared with the Clippers, the Grizzlies came to Vegas the day before yesterday and finished the first game.

Blake Griffin deserves to be the most watched rookie. He played well in the game and scored 20+10 very easily.

He's shown a level of athleticism and talent that will crush everyone, and the leftovers from summer league won't hold him back.

In the first game, the Grizzlies played against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Westbrook fell into a disadvantage in the dialogue with Griffin and his performance was mediocre.

The battle report after the game also praised Griffin, saying that it would be a great regret for the Clippers to miss Griffin.

This morning, the Grizzlies ushered in their second opponent, the New York Knicks.

Min Congda went to bed early yesterday, woke up early today, cleaned up after breakfast, and arrived at the University of Nevada ahead of schedule with Ada.

Min Congda is already well-known in the NBA circle. Everyone knows that the Clippers have a Chinese paratrooper who became the general manager without any experience.

When some reporters and editors saw Min Congda watching the Grizzlies game live, they were immediately moved.

Article titles are edited:

"The manager of the Clippers went to the scene of the Grizzlies game to inspect the goods, and verified with his own eyes whether the No. [-] pick he abandoned was qualified";
"The Chinese general manager regrets the past, Griffin's performance conquered the person who abandoned him";
"There is no regret medicine in the NBA. Seeing Griffin's performance, Smart shouted that he ruined the future of the Clippers"!
Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace saw Min Congda and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Smart."

Min Congda looked at Wallace who was coming, and said he didn’t know him. Ada whispered: “It’s Mr. Chris Wallace, the general manager of the Grizzlies.”

"Oh~ hello, hello, Mr. Wallace." Min Congda shook hands with Wallace warmly, thinking: "It's because you picked up the loophole and took Griffin. It's really cheap for you."

Wallace looked Min Congda up and down. He was ordinary, not at all like someone in the NBA basketball circle.

Many NBA coaches and management staff are professional basketball players, so they are tall and strong.

It is rare to see an ordinary person like Min Congda, and his appearance and energy make it look like he doesn't exercise much.
I don't know where Sterling found such a person to be the general manager of the team. I heard that he is also the team president and holds great power. It is really unheard of.

But without him, I wouldn't be able to get Griffin by chance. Thinking of this, Wallace is still very proud.

There was a murmur in my heart, but nothing showed on my face. Wallace and Min Congda exchanged pleasantries, and soon the topic turned to the players.

"Smart, your team was going to trade Zach Randolph before? Why is there no movement now?"

The Grizzlies contacted the Clippers for Randolph before the draft. Wallace knew that the Clippers chose Griffin, and Randolph was redundant. He was optimistic about this black and strong power forward.

Unexpectedly, the Clippers gave up Griffin directly to the Grizzlies, which is really a kind person.

Min Congda said: "Trade Randolph? Olshey had this idea before, but I rejected it. We will keep Randolph."

When Wallace heard it, why not trade?Do you want to keep this fat black guy?Is this person optimistic about Randolph?

Wallace hurriedly asked: "This guy Randolph is troublesome. He has caused a lot of trouble in Los Angeles, hasn't he?"

Min Congda said: "Yeah, he has caused troubles a lot, but I am optimistic about him."

"Looking at him? Why?" Wallace was curious, and he felt that Min Congda had some ideas.

Min Congda asked back: "Aren't you also optimistic about him? Otherwise, why would you want to trade him to the Grizzlies?"

Wallace was speechless when he asked this question, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "The game is about to start, let's see how the boys are doing."

Of course, Wallace is optimistic about Randolph, and after careful research, he believes that Randolph has no problem in terms of ability, and what needs to be changed is the attitude of the court.

Randolph was born in a poor, single-parent family. He entered the league and went to the Portland Trail Blazers. He is the easiest to learn bad things at a young age. He followed the gang of Jailblazers and followed suit.

Later, I went to New York, a big city full of money and money, and the players continued to degenerate. The next stop, the Los Angeles Clippers, was no different from New York.

Memphis is different. Compared with those big cities, the birthplace of rock and roll country music is more peaceful and quiet. Wallace believes that Randolph can develop better here.

It's a pity that by mistake, with Griffin's Grizzlies, Randolph is no longer needed.

But Wallace still thought: "This Smart seems to have something. He can find the bright spot in Randolph and stop the transaction. He is indeed a powerful person. We will test him later."
