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

Chapter 244 The Way of Investment (Part [-])
The off-season summer is long and boring, and is often called the rough period by fans.

The turbulent tide that opened the door to free agency in July was quickly subsided.

The stars belonged one after another amidst the looting, but most of them stayed where they were.

Some of the ordinary players have found new jobs, some of them are unemployed, and have to worry about their next job.

A group of newcomers enter the alliance, and a group of old people are eliminated. Metabolism is the law of nature.

In August, the summer league and the World Championships are in full swing, and the new American men's basketball team is heading for the championship.

For the powerful American dream team, participating in the World Championships and the Olympics is actually quite boring.

Because winning the championship is considered qualified for the US team, and it is not a great honor.

But once you fail to win the championship, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, and will be mentioned over and over again by future fans.

In 2008, the US men's basketball team sent a luxurious lineup to participate, but this time many superstars will no longer participate in the World Championships.

Kobe and James have exhausted their efforts in NBA events and have no interest in the World Championships.

Yao Ming of the Chinese team was affected by injuries, and his career was coming to an end. He couldn't even play in the NBA, let alone the national team.

Stars from various countries familiar to fans such as Nowitzki and Ginobili were also unable to participate due to various reasons.

2010 is a year of alternation between the old and the new.

The core of the US team became third-year Kevin Durant.

Curry, Rose, Westbrook, Kevin Love and many other young people were selected and transferred to this national team.

For Curry, this was a good opportunity to improve his own strength.

In the national team, he can compete with the young masters of the league.

He will also be coached by the nation's best coaches and trainers.

But on August 8, Curry sprained his ankle during a practice.

Although not serious, the successive ankle sprains had Curry and his team worried about a habitual sprain.

After a series of examinations, the doctor's suggestion is that surgery can be performed to repair the ankle tendon.

However, if surgery is performed, it means that he will not be able to keep up with most of the games in the new season.

Curry decisively rejected the surgery proposal, he did not want to miss the second season of his career so early.

He is only 21 years old now, very young, has very good physical function and recovers quickly from injuries.

After some treatment and daily physical therapy, Curry devoted himself to national team training and competitions.

On the other hand, the young players of the Clippers formed a new team to compete in the Las Vegas Summer League.

This time, the core members of the Clippers are Harden, Paul George and Bledsoe.

In theory, a team with very good talent turned out to be an underwhelming summer league performance.

In 5 games, they lost 4 games because the team's lineup was not reasonable.

Except for these three outside players, there are no strong players inside.

Last season, Summer League had Jordan in it anyway, but this season there is no center at all.

Olshey and a group of scouts are still in China, so players are randomly searched.

Because the subsidy and accommodation standards given by the Clippers are the highest, a bunch of old summer couplets want to play for the Clippers.

The personnel manager of the Clippers also saves trouble. Anyway, General Manager Smart said that Summer League is to train young players.

For those undrafted and fringe people, just give them a chance to play, and stop pretending to be digging for gold in shit all day long.

Do you have that level?If you don't have that level, it's better to just lie down and do nothing, and get your salary instead of struggling in the cesspit.

There is nothing wrong with Min Congda's words. After so many years, have the Clippers found any treasures in the draft?

I don't even understand my own high-ranking talent. It's better to save energy to improve myself than to learn from other masters to discern talents.

So, Sachs just casually signed some veterans whose names looked familiar.

These people have been in the summer league all year round. They don't have much potential, their level is good, and their fighting spirit is average.

They know that no team will appreciate them if they play well in Summer League.

Their goal in the game is to finish the game smoothly, eat and drink well, take the money and leave to find the next job.

What kind of fighting spirit can such a summer league team have? It is to accompany the prince to study and do a good job of supporting Harden, George and Bledsoe.

These three boys, Harden has played for a season, is not very interested in the summer league, and comes to Vegas mainly for fun.

George is still very serious about playing, but his strength and performance can only be said to be mediocre in the Summer League, averaging 15 points per game.

Like Anthony Randolph, they can score 40 points at every turn, but 15 points is too little for a game at the level of the Summer League.

Bledsoe contributed even less, averaging 10 points per game. The three young men who seemed to have potential did not find a way to win.

The results of 1 win and 4 losses are even worse than last year. Last year, the Clippers had a complete victory.

Min Congda did not go to Las Vegas with the team this time, nor did he participate in the team's operations.

Instead, he hides in his apartment near Chinatown, thinking about investing.

Seeing four 4-yuan losing wages recorded on the mobile phone, it has been unable to cause any waves in Min Congda's heart.

$1200 is not enough to see a game in a VIP box at the Staples Center.

But Min Congda was very satisfied with the performance of these three young people.

A lazy, a mediocre, a dwarf, what's the use?

By the way, there is also Jeremy Lin, who didn't get much playing time.

The stats are not worth mentioning. If you can't play stats in the summer league, what else can you develop?
Min Congda was also worried that Jeremy Lin's Chinese identity would bring a wave of fans and popularity to the Clippers and increase the Clippers' advertising and marketing revenue.

Now it seems that this kind of worry is superfluous. The NBA still wants strength to be king. Without strength, it only talks about international and skin color. Fans are not fools.

Therefore, Jeremy Lin can stay with peace of mind and be one of the few yellow skins in the league in Los Angeles.

Min Congda sat in front of the computer and looked at the post-match report of the summer league and the statistics of the players, thinking:

"It seems that there is no problem with the operation of the team this year. The losses suffered by Curry will be recovered this season!"

"Curry is mainly because he was too anxious, and he jumped to conclusions without careful investigation. This time is different. I have thought through it thoroughly, and the person I choose is absolutely fine."

Min Congda had already forgotten that he chose George because people said "because of the proximity", and he thought he had done a lot of meticulous work.

"Although there is no problem with the operation of the team, but... what should we do in terms of investment?"

Min Congda's attention shifted back to team investment.

Looking at the financial report Roser sent to him yesterday, Min Congda was really worried.
