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

Chapter 35
The episode near the end of the second quarter did not affect the game's continuation, and Curry's two free throws broke his scoring drought in the first half.

The score of the first half was 37:51, and the Clippers trailed the Grizzlies by as much as 14 points.

Curry made 8 of 0 shots in the first half, did not score in sports games, only scored 2 points with free throws, and had a poor 3 assists and 4 turnovers. His performance can be said to be a mess.

Griffin's performance in the first half was much more dazzling. He scored 17 points efficiently in the half, picked up 6 rebounds, and had 2 assists and 2 blocks.

In particular, he frequently used dunks to attack the basket in the offense, which really shocked the audience for a whole year. The last person who had such a dunk power was Stoudemire, the bully of the Suns.

After Stoudemire underwent minimally invasive knee surgery, he no longer had such an explosive slam dunk performance. Griffin will obviously become the heir to the next slam dunk show, bringing countless fans to the Grizzlies.

Chris Wallace on the sidelines was very satisfied to see Griffin's performance like this, and his heart was full of pride. It was really a gift for the Grizzlies to get such a player, and the goddess of luck finally waved to them and smiled.

Sitting next to Wallace was an old white man with a square face and silver hair. He had a solemn expression, and a smile seemed to have never appeared on his face.

He approached Chris Wallace and said, "Chris, what is the origin of Smart in the Clippers?"

Wallace hurriedly said: "Oh, he used to be a financial investment analyst and has never worked in basketball. He was really reckless just now, and I didn't expect that he would rush to the court to fight Griffin , hehehe."

The old man asked again: "What do you think of his operational level? Take Curry and keep Randolph."

Wallace said: "Uh... To be honest, Jerry, I can't understand him a little bit, I feel...feel..."

"Feel what?"

"I told you, don't laugh at me."

"I've laughed at you enough, don't care this time."

"..."

"I think he is quite similar to you in some operation choices... I don't mean that he is similar to you. You see that you have completely different backgrounds. How can he compare with you, but... it is the kind of person who finds a different way and is full of confidence at the same time. It feels like it."

The old man glanced at Wallace and said, "You didn't tell me to laugh at you, I think you wanted to insult me."

"No, absolutely not! Even if you are no longer working for the Grizzlies, I still have the utmost respect for you."

"You are right about one thing. He does have something like me. In the situation just now, I would also rush to fight Griffin. It is a good thing for players to be competitive, but it must be used in the right place. I I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest."

Speaking of the old man getting up to leave, Chris Wallace got up and saw him off, saying: "Jerry, if you are interested, the Grizzlies welcome you back at any time. You can see that our current situation is very good."

The old man waved his hand, left the auditorium without looking back, and disappeared into the aisle. Chris Wallace sat back in his seat and let out a long sigh of relief.

He wondered if he should go to the locker room. Also, that guy Smart is really brave. The general manager ran to the field to fight with the players. Who was the last person to do this?

Well, there seems to be no precedent. After all, the general manager is a person with brains and a head and a face. Is it because I am impatient when I go to one-on-one with tall players?

"But this guy's shot just now was really powerful. The ball hit Griffin's head, and Griffin was stunned. I guess he is still confused now? Forget it, I'll go to the locker room to see This young man, don't let this matter affect his later performance."

Wallace also left the auditorium and went to the team locker room to visit Griffin, who went too far in the first half.

On the other side, in the Clippers locker room, the players returned to the locker room to rest for 15 minutes. The poor performance in the first half made everyone a little frustrated, especially Curry.

The summer league is not important, it is not important, but it is also very important, especially for young players, any game should be taken seriously to win, because winning should become a habit, and habits must be cultivated from scratch.

Those who are used to victory, the Goddess of Victory will favor him more; those who are used to failure may not be able to grasp the victory when it is close at hand.

"Where's Mr. Smart?" Curry asked coach Kim Hughes, and Curry wanted to express his gratitude to Smart for helping him just now.

"Mr. Smart was expelled and he has already gone back. Stephen, if you want to thank Mr. Smart for standing up for you, you might as well win this game. I think this is the best way to thank him. "

Kim Hughes patted Curry on the shoulder and said, Curry nodded with his mouth pursed. He feels much better now, and he doesn't have so much pressure on him.

Since Griffin treats him like this, why should he hesitate, just do it!Smart has given a demonstration!

The morale of the Clippers team is re-gathering. The young people have no blood and cannot win the game.

The bloodiness shown by Min Congda infected every player in the Clippers. Even if he lost the game against the Grizzlies, he would have to bite off a piece of meat from the Grizzlies!
Min Congda had no idea that his impulsiveness inspired the whole team. After being ejected by the referee, he left the University of Nevada gym directly, went to the parking lot, and then called Ada to come and take him back to the hotel.

Griffin's behavior made him very angry. He remembered that when he was in school, he wanted to play basketball in a rare physical education class. At that time, the cartoon "Slam Dunk" was popular all over the country, and boys ran to play basketball. (Played soccer when Captain Tsubasa was all the rage.)
Min Congda had just developed a little interest in basketball, but he was bullied by several senior boys on the court. Relying on his early height, he bullied others with his body and knocked the thin and thin Min Congda to the ground. Scratch a large area.

I went to the physical education teacher to reason, but the physical education teacher said: "Don't play basketball if you are small, what's the use of being so short on the court."

Since then, Min Congda has never had anything to do with basketball. It wasn't until now that he somehow became the general manager of the Clippers that he realized that basketball is quite interesting.

And the thin Curry was struggling on the field and being knocked into the air, which made him feel angry, and he couldn't suppress the fire before rushing towards Griffin.

Now that I think about it, I am a little scared. With Griffin's figure, I am afraid that one punch can blow his head away.

"Damn it, so what if basketball is fun? Can it be fun to have 3 million dollars? It's good to lose this game, at least 200 dollars."

As Min Congda thought about it, his cell phone rang suddenly, it was an unfamiliar number.

After coming to the United States, few people call him. Telecom fraud?

"Hello, hello, I'm Smart-Min."

"Hello, Smart, I'm Joe Bozia, how are you doing, are you feeling okay?"

Um?Joe Bozia, who?I seem to have heard of it, but I don't seem to have any impression.

Just when Ada came over, Min Congda covered the phone and asked, "Ada, who is Joe Bozia?"

Ada said: "Oh, it's the vice president of the league, in charge of referee affairs management."

Min Congda thought to himself, the referee, is he apologizing for the expulsion of me just now?

"Oh, Mr. Bozia, hello. I feel good now. The air outside is very fresh. I wanted to get out for a long time. Thank you, Mr. Referee, for sending me out of the field so that I can bask in the sun outside."

In terms of yin and yang, Min Congda is also top-notch. Anyway, he is not familiar with the NBA circle, and he is not used to anyone.

"Mr. Smart, I saw your heroic performance at the scene. I admire it, but I think you are a bit reckless and disrupted the order of the game. According to the regulations of the league, we will impose a fine of 2000 US dollars on you, When you get back to L.A., don't forget to turn over the money to the league office."

In addition to training new players, the summer league is also an opportunity to train new referees, so Joe Bozia, the league's vice president in charge of refereeing, watched the game live.

After seeing Min Congda's "heroic" performance, he immediately decided to issue a ticket to this guy to imitate others. It is a gift for the new general manager to join the league, so that he can start working in the future.

In the draft, he did not cause trouble to President Stern.

When Min Congda heard that he was going to be fined, he suddenly remembered that among his three incomes, in addition to bankruptcy dividends and losing wages, there was also a free throw bonus!
[Penalty bonus: When you are fined by the alliance for some reason, the system will pay the fine for you, and the same amount will be subsidized to your salary account (after tax)]

While paying the fine for you, you can also make up the same amount. This is not free!

Only now did Min Congda understand that the fine was the case, why hadn't he thought of it earlier!

"Hello? Mr. Smart? Did you hear that? $2000 is already the minimum fine. After all, this is just a summer league..."

"I heard, I heard Mr. Bozia, I express my deep apologies for my own reckless behavior in the game. In order to express my sincerity and sincere repentance, I feel that 2000 fines are too little , what do you think of a fine of 5000?"

"..."

Bozia, who can be regarded as a harsh and feared vice president in the league, can't be punished all at once, and he thinks he has less punishment?

"No, no, no, 5000 is not very good, round it up, fine me [-]! How about it, Mr. Bozia? More is fine, I want to make a little contribution to the NBA!"

"Remember to go back and contact me to pay the fine, that's all Mr. Smart, goodbye...beep..."

"Don't hang up...don't...hey, why did you fine me two thousand? How stingy..."

After hanging up the phone, Min Congda's mood improved a lot. He found a good way to make money.

"Mr. Smart, shall we go back to the hotel?"

"No! I won't go back. I'll go back to the locker room. You go back to the field and tell me what's going on. I think the Clippers can win this game!"

With the bonus of 2000 yuan, Min Congda didn't take the 200 yuan into his heart at all, and hoped that the boys under him could live up to their expectations and kill the Grizzlies to death!
