Chapter 315 Making waves (second update)
At night, on the special plane to Memphis, most of the Clippers players fell asleep.

There's nothing quite like a deep sleep on a plane after a high-intensity game.

The schedule starting in February can be described as very, very unfriendly to the Clippers.

To describe it in eight words, it is "wandering all over the world, making home all over the world".

In one and a half months, the Clippers played 4 home games.

The remaining 16 games are all away games. It can be said that the Clippers spent more than a month on the plane and in the hotel.

This is a huge test for the competitive state and health of the whole team.

But there is no way, because they share a home court with the Lakers, so they have to accept many consecutive away games in terms of schedule.

Otherwise the venue schedule at the Staples Center will not be open.

From this point of view, the Clippers' need for a new home court is even more urgent.

Fortunately, the Clippers have withstood the test during this long road trip of one and a half months.

They fought and won consecutive victories, and they played better and better. After the All-Star Game, they played the best offense and defense.

After defeating the Washington Wizards tonight, the Clippers used a wave of 10 consecutive victories to declare their return to the Western Conference playoff contenders.

The victories one after another made the players feel very good, and they slept soundly on the plane.

Of course, looking at the entire league, there is only one person who loses sleep the more he wins.

Min Congda waved to the flight attendant and said softly, "Pour me a glass of champagne."

The stewardess said softly: "It's already the third cup, are you sure you want more?"

"Yes, more, or I won't be able to sleep, please."

The stewardess had no choice but to pour another glass of champagne for Min Congda.

Alcoholic beverages are generally not served on board.

However, the Clippers are charter flights, provide VIP services, and have special treatment.

Min Congda is not a drinker, he always enjoys drinking.

But lately it's hard for him to sleep without drinking, the pressure is too damn great!
When I played the Bucks that day, I had a bad premonition, and it came true again!

Min Congda felt that he should not run a team, he should tell fortunes to others.

Pretending to be blind in Chinatown, setting up a fortune-telling booth, using his keen sense of smell to judge people's good luck and bad luck.

Cantonese people believe in this very much. If he succeeds, he may make a lot of money every day after working for a year or so.

It's all right now, in one and a half months, I only received thousands of dollars, and the wages for losing games are pitifully low.

This is a trivial matter, after all, it can be made up for with fines, bonuses and stock dividends.

The problem is that the team is making such great strides, and the state and record are getting better and better. What should we do with this market value?

Min Congda took a sip of wine, the acrid smell rushed out of his nose, and the pressure was slightly released.

Curry was sitting next to Min Congda, who was sleeping comfortably with his head tilted and wrapped in a blanket.

"This bastard, it's so easy to push you on the bench for two months. I can't wait, I have to come back, I have to come back. Damn, after coming back, I will start to win all kinds of games! Damn, I see you next time Don't even try to score a three-pointer!"

Regarding Curry's "biggest regret in his career", Min Congda really has nothing to do with him.

Now he asks the system first thing in the morning, "Can I trade Curry?"

The system always answers bluntly, [No, unreasonable].

It's really unreasonable, Curry is in great shape after his comeback.

After resting for more than two months, after his comeback, he gradually increased his playing time by 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and 20 minutes per game. Curry's physical fitness and state reached a very good peak.

Because he didn't stop fitness, tactical drills and hand training in the past two months, he returned to the Clippers team seamlessly.

Curry was surprised to find that the new Clippers were more suitable for him than the previous Clippers, and he was like a fish in water on the offensive end.

There was Baron Davis before, and there was a certain ball conflict between him and Curry.

But after Cole's ball-sharing system was gradually established, Curry's off-ball ability has more room to play.

The distribution of ball rights between the two has reached a fairly balanced point.

Adding Harden, Gasol Jr., Randolph, and Dragic, everyone can get control of the ball.

The Clippers don't have a real superstar, and there is no black hole of ball possession, so everyone plays as a team and selflessly.

It is really a big step forward towards "everyone has a ball to play".

On away trips they often lead their opponents by more than ten points at half-time.

Min Congda watched the Clippers' game, and felt uncomfortable. This TM was played really well!
Curry seems to only contribute about 20 points per game, but his three-pointers and huge space involvement have completely activated the Clippers' offense.

Curry seemed to feel the curse from Min Congda in his sleep. He frowned and muttered a few times, turned over and continued to sleep.

In addition to Curry, Min Congda "cursed" Randolph, Harden, Gasol and others one by one with a wine glass.

These few people, together with Curry, constitute the core framework of the Clippers lineup, and the tactical execution is very good.

Their personal abilities are not bad. Whenever the game reaches a point where the system cannot solve the problem, they will stand up to help the team solve the problem.

Randolph's low post and offensive rebounds, Gasol's face-to-basket force, Harden's key lore and so on.

"Fatty Blue, this will be the last big contract in your life, next time you don't want me to renew your contract."

"Mark, after this season is over, go test the waters of the free market, don't come to harm my Clippers, and go find another job."

"Harden, I'm so disappointed, I don't go to nightclubs now! That's right, it's hard to go to nightclubs in these away games one after another, and you fucking listen to your mother too much. Of course it's not your fault, your mother I'm afraid of that too."

"By the way, there's Steve Kerr! The liar!"

When Min Congda thought of Cole, he was even more angry. He pretended to be good at me, pretended to agree with me, and sneaked into the Clippers to sabotage me.

Fortunately, I still regard you as my right-hand man, Wolong who came out of the mountain, are you repaying me?You beat me up!

With the drunkenness, he almost complained about everyone in the team. In the end, Min Congda calmed down and began to examine himself seriously.

"In the final analysis, it is my own problem. November and January were too relaxed and too complacent, which made the team's system take shape."

"When Curry returns, the formed system and the return of important puzzles will become unstoppable!"

"But it's okay. Although the pass-and-cut system is strong in the regular season, it won't go far in case of entering the playoffs!"

"Entering the playoffs, it's just a round trip. Didn't you do this last season? What's so great about it?"

"The situation is still very good!"

After three glasses of wine, after some criticism and self-criticism, Min Congda felt that he was doing well again.

Ah Q is nothing more than that.

Then he got drunk and fell into a drowsy sleep.

The next day, Min Congda slept in the hotel all morning, and at noon, he was called by Wallace, the general manager of the Grizzlies, to have dinner.

The relationship between the two has always been good. Wallace regards Min Congda as his mentor and admires him quite a lot.

The series of operations the Grizzlies have made recently are the result of Wallace learning from Min Congda.

For example, exchange the potential Guy for the more potential Beasley.

Of course, the result of the study was not very good, and Beasley was about to be laid off.

Also, Chris Kaman, who was traded by the Grizzlies, was injured after only a few games this season.

Compared with last season's All-Star performance, this season he has fallen sharply, and the Grizzlies stand guard at a high position.

Watching Gasol play so well in the Clippers, Wallace had to shake his head again and again, "I can't learn well."

Wallace is also a brain axis, you just learn from others, why make a deal with him?

If the other party has a high level of trading, aren't you sure you will suffer?

Fortunately, the Grizzlies are not completely at a disadvantage, they have Griffin.

Griffin, who returned from injury, shocked the entire league with his explosive style of play.

The attendance rate of the Grizzlies has soared, and the record has greatly improved compared to last season, and the future can be expected.

Also, even though Kaman was abolished, the Grizzlies still took Jordan from the Clippers as insurance, so the insurance was used now, right?

Therefore, when Min Congda visited Memphis, Wallace wanted to treat him to a meal no matter what, to exchange experiences.

The Clippers, like last season, made another effort in the second half, and became a hot topic team in the league because of their beautiful offense.

Originally, the Grizzlies ranked ahead of the Clippers and have been suppressing the Clippers. Wallace thinks it's finally our turn this season.

Unexpectedly, the Clippers chased after a while, and the record of the two sides has been tied. Whoever wins this game will be the eighth in the West.

Wallace was naturally panicked, and needed to get in touch with Min Congda to learn how many strategies and tricks this guy had hidden.

At noon, Min Congda went to the appointment on time, and Wallace was surprised to see Min Congda's haggard appearance.

"Compared to more than a month ago, Smart's spirit is much worse. It seems that he has spent a lot of energy for the Clippers' record, and hard work can bring results."

Wallace, who is also the general manager, can understand the "hard work" of Min Congda's work. Looking at the big dark circles under his eyes and the upward hairline, he must worry about the team's affairs.

How did he know that Min Congda was not busy, but in a hurry!

The two are considered old friends, and they quickly cut to the chase and brought up the recent alliance situation.

However, as competitors in the West, there are some things that cannot be said.

Wallace suddenly thought of a recent big gossip, and said to Min Congda: "By the way, Smart, do you know that the Hornets are definitely going to go bankrupt, and the league is going to take care of the Hornets."

Hearing the word "bankruptcy", a strange red light flashed across Min Congda's face, followed by an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

"What did you say? Hornets? Bankrupt?"

"Yeah, it's definitely going bankrupt. In fact, it's almost the end of January. It has been delayed until now, and their boss can't hold it anymore."

The Grizzlies and Hornets are in the Southwest Division. Of course, Wallace pays more attention to the teams in the same division.

After speaking, he noticed that Min Congda stood there blankly, expressionless and silent for a long time.

"Hey Smart, what's up Smart?"

"Chris, I'm such a failed GM."

"What? Haha, what nonsense are you talking about Smart, you are a popular manager."

"Chris, who is the general manager of the Hornets?"

"Uh...Jeff Ball, but he has resigned and the team is bankrupt. The Hornets are looking for a new general manager."

"Do you have Jeff Ball's contact information?"

"Uh...Of course I have, why do you want to recruit him? No way, he..."

Min Congda ignored Wallace, and there was a huge turmoil in his heart, and his confidence suffered a huge blow!
"Jeff Ball, this guy is really talented!"

 Moving is very tiring, there are two shifts today, and five shifts tomorrow.
