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

Chapter 260 Calm down (Second update)
On the first match day, the three games ended, and Min Congda failed to pull a single game.

After watching the live broadcast from beginning to end, the tactical analysis after the three games is almost done.

And just a year ago, at about the same time, the 09-10 season kicked off.

Min Congda didn't even know the names of the 30 NBA teams, and he didn't care what other teams were doing.

In just one year, he has become a basketball expert, tirelessly insisting on writing post-game updates on the NBA-Batman blog.

Fan Chen is also a guy with amazing perseverance. He persisted in translating for a whole season without losing every chapter.

The two have been communicating about the work progress of the Basketball Development Foundation recently. Generally speaking, the game is being held, activities are being held, and advertisements are being placed. The effect is good, but no one has discovered it.

In Fan Chen's words, there is no one who can fight!
Min Congda sent the article to Fan Chen, and sent a message: "After translating these three articles, there will be no need to translate them in the future."

Fan Chen hurriedly replied: "Why? You are not going to write?"

"No, I can write in English by myself now, no need to translate. If you want the dog to jump on your hair in the future, just translate it from English to Chinese."

After a year of study, Min Congda's written English has improved by leaps and bounds.

I often read, often use, and often write. I can’t write novels, but I can write post-basketball games and professional articles.

Min Congda said again: "Now you have important work to do. Olshey will be back in the next two days, right? The work in China will be handed over to you step by step."

Olshey and others went to China in July, and after working in China for three months, the airs have almost been set up.

With the help of Horizon Fund and cooperative investment banks, the Clippers' youth basketball talent development center has gained a firm foothold.

Youth basketball training camps and competitions are held in Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Xuzhou and other places during the summer vacation, with high bonuses and attracting many people.

After the selection of these professional scouts, a group of young players with good talents were recruited, but none of them reached the NBA level.

Many 13- and 14-year-old players in the United States are already flying into the sky and dunking.

Like James and Kobe, they both completed their first dunks at the age of 14.

Vince Carter, a humanoid UFO, was able to dunk at the age of 12. He deserves to be the king of dunks.

The Clippers' number one dunker, Stephen Curry, dunked for the first time in college, which can be described as a late bloomer.

Around 2010, there were too few such Chinese children, and finding such talent was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And it is very likely that this needle has been taken away by the sports school, and the children of the sports school will not participate in the training camp.

Min Congda thought, the foundation will be handed over to Fan Chen in the future, isn't he the second generation, he will make troubles.

Many second-generation people are not very capable, and they can't start projects and businesses. They are good at burning money to make money.

The hope and burden of the "Three Treasures Project" fell on Fan Chen's shoulders.

Hearing what Min Congda said, Fan Chen felt that he had a heavy responsibility, and kept this matter firmly in his heart.

In fact, these summer activities are not for nothing, at least I have gained a lot of experience in organizing activities.

Fan Chen is extremely smart, with an amazing memory, and this person is pure-hearted, focused on doing things, and will never give up until he achieves his goal.

He could have followed a paved path in life and worked as an actuary, well paid and easy (for him).

But the appearance of Min Congda changed his path. Basketball is something that can stimulate his enthusiasm for life, and it would be great to devote himself to it.

On the morning of October 10, Olshey and a group of scouts flew to Los Angeles and returned to the embrace of the United States.

During the three-month business trip in China, the biggest change for everyone is that they gained weight. The food in China is so good!
After seeing Min Congda, Olshey had some regrets in his expression, and said to Min Congda: "I'm sorry, Mr. Smart. During this trip to China, I failed to find qualified young players. But the work has just begun. I will go to China often, and there will be results.”

Min Congda thought to himself, it is right if there is no result, and if there is result, the plan will fail.

He didn't blame Olshey at all, but comforted him: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You have made a good start. If there is any fruit in the future, you must be the first!"

Min Congda said this to comfort Olshey, but he was not very clear about the specific situation in China.

Olshey felt that his work had been recognized, and he was satisfied and grateful.

In fact, with the cooperation of Fan Chen, Olshey did a really good job.

If Min Congda knew Olshey's past experience, he probably wouldn't let him go to China to build a training camp.

Before becoming the general manager of the Clippers, Olshey worked as an actor and ran a player training business.

His training hall specializes in providing various training services for potential NBA players. The training camp has produced 15 NBA lottery picks, 25 first-round picks and 57 active players.

Of course, these players were not excavated by Olshey, but participated in his training camp before the draft to improve themselves and get a better pick.

Therefore, Olshey is very good at how to formulate a good training plan for young people so that they can meet the requirements of the NBA.

In three months, with the assistance of Fan Chen, he built a very standardized training and selection platform to screen young basketball fans.

Although he returned to Los Angeles with a scout, the platform and training staff stayed in China.

And according to Min Congda's temperament, they will definitely have to go to China for "investigation" to spend money every once in a while.

Olshey is very confident that one or two Chinese players with NBA level will be unearthed in the future.

Min Congda asked O'Shea how he commented on Fan Chen, and O'Shea said in a dignified tone: "Smart, very smart."

Min Congda didn't ask too much, feeling that this evaluation was perfunctory, just like evaluating the child next door.

But he didn't know that Olshey's evaluation was simply because he couldn't find a better word.

Fan Chen's intelligence and memory amazed him, and Olshey even moved to recruit him as a scout.

His brain is basically a computer processor, and one person is worth ten people.

His learning ability and enthusiasm for learning are very strong, and he is definitely a good scout.

Min Congda didn't ask much about the domestic foundation, and turned his attention back to the arena.

In the afternoon, Min Congda and Olshey came to the Staples Center together, and the Clippers were already warming up for training.

Looking at the new faces in the arena, Min Congda asked: "How is it? Brand new team configuration, brand new game style, brand new...floor."

It is really a brand new floor, and the LOGO has changed the color of the word and the ball, saving a lot of resources for the manufacturer.

Of course, Olshey had heard about Min Congda's actions in the summer, but he was far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean and couldn't offer any suggestions.

He can't understand many operations, such as trading Gordon, signing Bonner, signing Milicic and so on.

When Min Congda asked this question, Olshey could only tell the truth, saying: "Mr. Smart, I really don't understand your operation."

It’s fine if you don’t understand, I’m operating in reverse, how could you understand?
Min Congda patted Ol'Shea and said, "Calm down, watch the game at night, and don't care too much about winning or losing."

What he meant was that it is very likely to lose at night, so don't worry about getting angry, if you lose, you will lose.

Olshey really wanted to see what kind of style this new lineup was.
