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

Chapter 330 Impressed (first update)
In addition to chatting with Min Congda about basketball, James also talked with him about life and business.

James said that he wants to get rid of the current agent system so that he can gain more initiative in negotiations with the team.

Min Congda expressed his agreement and appreciation, and said: "You alone are not enough. You have to unite with some players and stop cooperating with those vampire agents! Train your own agents, sign a contract with a large economic company, and unite , to negotiate with the team.”

James said: "Yes, labor negotiations will be held this summer, and I will try my best to fight for more rights for the labor side."

In the summer of 2011, the labor agreement reached in the 1999 lockout will expire, and the labor and management will start new negotiations.

At that time, there will be a new bloody storm.

"Strive for more rights and interests for the labor side? How to fight for it? Can you represent the labor side?"

After hearing what James said, Min Congda asked.

He felt that this guy James spoke and acted strangely sometimes.

It's like acting, performing a drama with the main theme of Wei Guangzheng.

He is the protagonist in this main theme drama, and he must always maintain his glorious image in words and deeds.

However, in private, he reveals his true feelings and is a very funny and funny person.

But once it comes to some serious topics, he can immediately enter the role and become the protagonist of Wei Guang's drama.

This kind of contrast often makes people feel unbelievable and quite contrary. Which one is the real him?
Or, neither?
However, Min Congda also understands that the NBA is a big show, and everyone wants to show off.

A lot of words and deeds are acting, including conflicts and fights on the court, and there are very few really violent fights.

Everyone has a temper, but they knew it when they started, "It's just a show, don't take it too seriously, it will be bad luck if it breaks."

Facing Min Congda's questioning, James said: "Of course! Of course I will represent the interests of most players and labor. We are opponents on the court, and we are a community off the court. I am the vice chairman of the players union."

Min Congda said: "But the gap in salary and assets between you and the bottom players is bigger than the gap between you and the management? You say you are a laborer, but which laborer's assets are hundreds of millions, tens of millions fans, they have many, many endorsement contracts. Before entering the league, they have a contract of [-] million yuan, even if they retire now, they will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives."

James spread his hands and said, "That's two different things. I'm an investment. As long as I'm on the court, I'm a part of the players. I will protect the interests of everyone. Moreover, I think my salary is what I deserve. , was won by my performance on the court.”

Min Congda refuted him, saying: "On the court, you are indeed a member of the players, but off the court, you are actually closer to the management. When you take off your jersey, you will be on the capital's side. Same with Michael Jordan. You say you deserve your salary because you get paid so much in the current environment and system. But what if the environment and system is not fair? You will maintain the system, Or crush him, do you have the courage?"

Min Congda's words made James speechless for a while, he didn't know how to respond, his mind couldn't turn.

"Okay, I didn't meet you today to criticize you, I just want to chat with you. I hope you can always recognize your own position, don't lose yourself, people will get lost, because of interests, fame. I know you want to It is a good thing for players to fight for more right to speak. But sometimes it is impossible for a person to occupy both sides, fame and fortune are also good, and one has to learn to give up some things.”

For some reason, when Min Congda chatted with James, he especially liked to tell him some great truths.

It seems that he has really become James' adoptive father, to prevent him from going astray, and to wake him up on the road of chasing fame and fortune.

James doesn't like others to talk to him about the truth. From childhood to adulthood, he has come step by step, relying on his own choice and hard work.

Only when Min Congda said these things, he could listen patiently and keep them silently in his heart.

Soon, the two ended their meeting. Min Congda asked James to go back to the room to rest, and sat for a while by himself, making sure that no one was paying attention before leaving quietly.

It's like an underground party joint, in fact, no one cares who he meets.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on March 3, the game between the Clippers and the Cavaliers started.

Because of the national live broadcast, the game time was earlier than usual.

Naturally, the Staples Center was full again, and Min Congda was numb to 100% attendance.

He was thinking, as long as he doesn't sell registered tickets, the box office is still acceptable to him at present.

Tonight, Dunleavy made some adjustments to the Clippers' starting lineup, and Ricky Davis took turns.

The reason for Ricky's weight gain in the summer is that although his resistance ability has increased, the risk of injury has also increased a little.

There was some water accumulation in his knee, and the doctor advised to rest for a while.

So, Lao Deng mentioned Paul George to the starting position and had a direct conversation with James.

George is still a nobody this season. Although he has received some reuse, he is far behind James in level.

But this kid is quite confident, because he was told before the game that he will start tonight. George said in an interview with reporters before the game: "I will start against James tonight. I hope to impress James. I am Paul George from Los Angeles."

Min Congda couldn't hold back when he heard George's second-year interview. The third position in the league starts from James, and everyone is talented. None of them feel very normal. It seems that the people who play this position and They function the same on the court, and their personalities are very swinging.

Before the draft, Min Congda always thought that George was the kind of shy, introverted, and lazy Los Angeles boy who loved his family and was dragged down by the team.

I didn't expect this guy to be very boring. When training in the team, he often said big things, "I want to blow you up", "I want to score 60 points on your head", "I will score this three-pointer" , and then was slapped in the face by Curry and Ricky Davis.

Of course, it's normal for everyone to joke around during team training.

After the past, it doesn't matter if everyone says it as a joke. For young people, it's normal not to lock the door with your mouth.

Recently, the Clippers have won consecutive battles, and George has played well, which may make him a little bit drifting.

Think you can fight against James in the game?
Min Congda chatted with James again during the warm-up, and said, "LeBron! The young man with number 24 on our team said he wanted to impress you. How about it? Do you want to help him?"

James laughed and said: "Okay, no problem, Paul George, I know, I will impress him too."
