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

Chapter 341 Believe in me (first update)
The morning flight from Los Angeles to San Antonio was a challenge for Min Congda.

After returning to Los Angeles from a road trip in March, he hasn't woken up early in more than a month.

Anyway, he didn't have to go to work at the headquarters in the morning. He could sleep in until noon and go to the training center for lunch.

In the afternoon, I went to the headquarters to hold a meeting to make some decisions, and then I was free to do whatever I wanted.

If there is a game in the evening, go to the Staples Center to watch the game. If there is no game, the colorful nightlife in Los Angeles will never be the same.

Min Congda came to the airport with bleary eyes and yawned, and boarded the flight with the players and staff.

Along with the whole team this time is the film crew of the documentary "Basketball and Base".

After Jordan Peele and Michael Key boarded the plane, they took out their cameras and took a few shots.

The footage was edited for possible appearance in the Clippers' second documentary of the season.

After taking the camera, Peel and Key returned to their seats. Peel looked at the chaotic whiteness outside the window, and his mind was as clueless as the clouds outside.

With the end of the regular season and entering the playoffs, it means that the season has come to an end.

Hundreds of hours of material have been accumulated throughout the season, and it is not an easy task to edit and stitch them into a documentary with one theme.

Compared with the first part, the "Set Sail" of the 2009-2010 season, how to formulate the theme of the second part made him very distressed.

It's like a novel, the protagonist has nothing at the beginning, and slowly improves, leveling up and fighting monsters is very easy to write.

It is also easier to write to the end, upgrade to the top, fight the final big boss, and achieve success.

Only the growth process in the middle is the most difficult to describe.

If you let him make it up by himself, of course there are routines.

But the Clippers are a real team, so it must be based on the actual situation and cannot be made up.

The Clippers have a lot of storylines this season.

There was a good opener, but then it took a turn for the worse, losing streak.

At the critical moment, Curry was injured, Smart advocated surgery, and the Clippers lost their general.

Falling into the lottery zone in the mid-term, the team made bold tactical reforms and introduced Steve Kerr.

The whole team took on a completely new look, winning consecutive away games and re-entering the playoffs.

It should be said that this story line is more tortuous and more turbulent than last season.

But the question is when it comes to the closing stage, how should it end?How is it different from last season?
The Clippers experienced a series of ups and downs, and all members returned, but the regular season record was not as good as last season.

The ranking is still eighth, and then eliminated by No. [-] in the West in the first round, the same as last season...

After watching it, the audience will think, what did I watch?There are so many foreshadowings ahead, but no progress at the end?

Although documentaries are not movies and need to faithfully record the truth, audiences don't like to watch boring facts.

Unless the Clippers can make a breakthrough in the playoffs this season and reach the second round.

In that case, there is no need to think about the theme of the documentary, it is "Black Eight".

It's perfect, there is no more perfect script than this, but can it really be achieved?
Jordan Peele wanted to put a question mark in his heart. He used a video camera to record his doubts, which might be edited into a documentary at that time.

Sitting behind the two is Rachelle, the head of the media department who rarely travels with the team.

The reason why he wants to follow this time is also for the documentary, and he needs to contact the resources in San Antonio and make suggestions at the same time.

He moved his fat body, leaned up, and asked, "How about Peel, any thoughts on the subject?"

Peel said: "If it can be blacked out, this documentary will be perfect. It must be even better than the first one, but...it's hard to come by, it's not that easy to get blacked out, it's a small probability event."

Richley said: "It's true that small-probability events are not that easy, but you have to believe in miracles."

Michael Ki looked at the seat in front and noticed that Min Congda had fallen asleep.

As soon as he got on the plane, he asked for a blanket to cover him, and curled up in the large seat to catch up on sleep.

Michael Key approached Rickley and Peel, and said softly: "But I think black eight might not be that difficult, otherwise why would Mr. Smart want the team to fall to eighth? Even at the expense of losing? I heard that the last A game where he rages in the locker room? Just to lose and drop to eighth, which is rare."

Peel also said softly: "Yes, everyone has heard that Mr. Smart was not normal during the last month of the season."

Rob Richley also glanced forward, and whispered: "It's really not normal, just buy out Hinrich's contract and let him go to the Cleveland Cavaliers."

Because Hinrich didn't adapt to Cole's passing and cutting system, the veteran basically didn't get much playing time in the second half of the season.

After the trade deadline, the Clippers chose to buy out Hinrich, and then the Cavaliers signed Hinrich.

Peel said: "Why is this abnormal? Isn't this normal? A veteran like Hinrich can't play in the team, so he can play in the playoffs if he goes to the Cavaliers."

Richelle said: "There is no problem with the buyout, but to go to the Cavaliers... In the summer, the Cavaliers also signed Marcus Camby. The Clippers will soon become Cleveland's arsenal. It is said that this is not the same as Smart It is related to Mr.'s manipulation behind the scenes, but why he did this, no one knows."

Michael Kidao: "I know a piece of news. When the Cavaliers came to Cleveland to play an away game in March, a Fox TV reporter took photos of him having a secret meeting with Mr. Smart. But it was quickly dropped by public relations, and it was not on the Internet. Give way."

Peel said: "Really? It's not on NBA-Batman either?"

"No, I read it. The NBA-Batman said that Smart-Min was furious in the locker room in the last game, so he lost the trust of the players, and the Clippers may have to disintegrate."

"This is pure nonsense. The hearts of the players are still with Mr. Smart. It's just that everyone can't understand why they have to play the Spurs? Are the Spurs so easy to bully? I have never heard of the first Eight picks first."

All three shook their heads, unable to guess what Min Congda was thinking.

"I know why Mr. Smart is so pissed."

Suddenly someone jumped out and joined the three of them in their private conversation.

The three of them were startled and almost cried out, and it was Marc Gasol.

This guy has a very regular daily life, goes to bed early and gets up early, and is not sleepy at all on the plane.

Mark is not only the team's pass transfer station on the field, the tactical center, but also the gossip center off the field.

More than half of the rumors related to Min Congda were fueled by Marc Gasol.

"Why? Why did Mr. Smart lose his temper?" Peel was very curious, maybe it could be included in the documentary.

Marc Gasol said mysteriously: "Do you know Mr. Smart's life experience? He must have suffered a lot of trauma in childhood and had intermittent mania, but he received good treatment and the symptoms were hidden. But that day, in the locker room, there were some special circumstances and opportunities that induced his mania, so..."

"Oh, what's the weather like in San Antonio, Michael?"

"It's not bad, the temperature is very suitable, and it's sunny without rain."

"The plane flies so smoothly, the sun is so beautiful, and there are clouds everywhere."

"It's so beautiful, this cloud, take some shots of clouds, maybe you can use it..."

"Hey, what I said is true, I have read books related to psychology... I... believe me!"
