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

Chapter 338 The anger of the general manager (third)
The Clippers' locker room before the final game.

Steve Kerr flicked the webpage nervously with his mobile phone.

Mike Dunleavy paced aside and said, "How's the situation in Dallas?"

Cole said: "The Hornets led the Mavericks by 2 points at halftime... Sheter, the Mavericks won't let go of this game, right?"

Dunleavy said: "I don't know if the Mavericks will let the water go, but we will definitely let the water go in this game, and then let ourselves go!"

Cole said: "Why don't I tell Mr. Smart that we can't let the water go. Although it's not a good idea to play the Lakers in the first round, it's better than not making it to the playoffs. If that's the case, we All your efforts will be in vain.”

Kim Hughes said on the side: "I guess Mr. Smart will not agree. Otherwise, our starters will be substitutes. If the game does not go well, we can play the main lineup again."

Dunleavy shook his head, and said: "The players are in such a state that they can't get out. And before the game, everyone knew that they didn't want to win this game. Halfway through the game, they suddenly told them that they were going to win. The players are not robots, so they can't win like this! "

"Mr. Smart is too risky to do this. We should still win this game and play the Lakers. We played the Lakers last season, just to get revenge!"

"That's right, the Los Angeles derby is here again, a battle of revenge, there is no better script than this!"

Today is the last game day in the NBA, and all matchups will end today.

The Clippers-Grizzlies game starts at 07:30 p.m. PT.

An hour later than the Dallas game.

Therefore, when the third quarter of the game between the Mavericks and the Hornets began, the game between the Clippers and the Grizzlies almost just started.

If the Mavericks beat the Hornets, then the Clippers won't matter in this game, and they will definitely enter the playoffs.

But at the end of the first half, the Hornets, in order to enter the playoffs, tried their best to win a victory in Dallas.

They led the Mavericks by two points at 60:58, and the situation was very serious for the Clippers.

Before the start of the game, Min Congda issued a death order, this game is only allowed to lose, not to win!
Even if they don't make the playoffs, the Clippers are not allowed to win, which makes the coaching staff and players very confused.

The Clippers got off to a bad start at the beginning of the season, but began to catch up in the middle of the season. A wave of winning streak brought the team to the playoffs.

The competition in the Western Conference playoffs is very fierce, and the competition for rankings in the regular season is even more tragic.

Last season, the Clippers only entered the playoffs with 50 wins. You must know that the Celtics in the Eastern Conference entered the finals with 50 wins.

Dunleavy, Kerr and other coaches don't understand, and neither do the players.

After a season of hard work, is it going to end like this, making wedding clothes for others?

However, Min Congda was extremely authoritative in the team, and Deng Lewei and others did not dare to disobey him.

Only Steve Kerr was still a little dissatisfied. He said: "I will go to Mr. Smart now to make him change his mind. Although we agreed to play the Spurs in the eighth place, we can't just fall into the eighth place. In the end, we couldn’t even make it to the playoffs!”

"That's right, we can replace the main force as soon as possible after the opening game. Everyone will go all out and win the victory. This is the safest thing!"

Cole was about to leave the locker room to find Min Congda when the door of the locker room opened and Min Congda came in.

As soon as Min Congda entered, the players who had been sitting there stood up, and there were giants like a forest for a while.

NBA locker rooms are built very large and tall to suit these giants.

Coaches such as Cole, Dunleavy, and Kim Hughes are also big men with a height of 1 meters and more than two meters.

Min Congda's height of 175 stood inside, like a child.

But his aura is the most powerful, and everyone only looks forward to him.

Min Congda looked at the players, then at Dunleavy and Cole, and said, "What's the matter? The game will be played in a while, and you haven't gone to the field to warm up, and you are still nesting in the locker room? Don't want to play? Think Retire? Very good, just what I want, you can retire.”

Before the start of the game, the players have to go to the field to warm up in advance.

After the warm-up, the opening ceremony, the singing of the American national anthem, and then the official start.

This is a basic set of game procedures.

But the opening ceremony will start in 10 minutes.

The Clippers players did not appear on the court to warm up.

The fans at the scene, the official NBA staff, and the people on the TV station were all puzzled and anxious.

What happened to the Clippers?Why haven't you warmed up yet?
Min Congda knew the reason, so he came to the locker room himself.

Cole stepped forward and said: "Mr. Smart, we should try our best to win the last game. Only by winning this game can we ensure that we enter the playoffs."

Min Congda said: "How did we formulate our previous strategy? How did I tell you?"

"Our strategic goal is to play the Spurs in the eighth place in the Western Conference, but if we lose this game and the Hornets win the game again, we won't even be able to make it to the playoffs!"

Cole dared to fight against Min Congda. This guy even dared to fight Jordan, so there was nothing he dared to say.

Min Congda pursed his lips, and said, "Steve Kerr, Dunleavy, Kim Hughes, Lucas, stay. Everyone else, go to the court and warm up."

As soon as Min Congda finished speaking, the Clippers players left the locker room one after another to warm up on the field.

The locker room was empty, leaving only five people including Min Congda and Deng Lewei, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressing.

Ada originally followed Min Congda to the locker room, but now she also retreated and waited at the door.

Min Congda took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "That is an order! We are going to enter the playoffs as the eighth place, it is an order! How can you ignore my order!"

"Has the matter reached this point? The coaching staff will always violate the instructions I gave you and try to deceive me! Thinking I didn't hear it, you have to replace the main force at the beginning and win the game. You take my words as nothing. Wind in your ears?"

"I formed such a coaching staff, and then you guys want to team up to deceive me? Change my strategic intentions! You are all a bunch of liars!"

The sudden anger of the general manager made Dun Levy and the others baffled and shocked at the same time.

Cole was shocked. He didn't expect Min Congda to lose his temper. He quickly explained: "Mr. Smart, are you serious? We are all trying to make it to the playoffs..."

"Are you trying to make the playoffs? Isn't everything I do for the playoffs? All of you are in suits and leather shoes. After playing on the court for a few years, you call yourself a basketball coach. I use your tactics for a week. I can understand everything within a short time! I think you have no other role except to call a timeout and change people! I should be the coach, and what you do will only hinder me! Letting you win the game will help you. Difficult, won’t you lose the game? I should ask Boss Sterling to fire you all!”

"I didn't play a day of basketball, but I took the Clippers from the bottom to the playoffs in one season. And you, you didn't believe me from the beginning, you just wanted to watch me A joke, trying to deceive and betray me. But all betrayals will be repaid with failure!"

Seeing that Min Congda was agitated, Deng Lewei hurriedly said, "Smart, Smart, please calm down."

Min Congda said angrily: "My orders have been ignored! It's the last moment, how should I lead the team in this situation!"

The coaching staff was silent. Although they all felt that Min Congda was making a big fuss, no one, including Steve Kerr, dared to argue with Min Congda.

With Cole's temper, if it were someone else, he would have given up and quit, but Min Congda is really different.

At this time, the door of the locker room was knocked, and Ada pushed the door open and came in, softly said: "The Mavericks and Hornets have started the third quarter, the Mavericks have overtaken the Hornets by 11 points, and they beat the Hornets 15:2. "
