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

Chapter 458 Negotiations like this (third update)

After winning the Nuggets, the Clippers finally ushered in a winning streak.

This is the first consecutive victory since Tyronn Lue coached the Clippers.

Although he didn't know how the team won, they won anyway!
After this away game, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles.

On January 1th, they are about to usher in a new opponent, and it is also another outstanding young team in the West this season: the Oklahoma City Thunder.

For the Clippers, it is indeed a problem to face such a strong player in back-to-back games.

Physical exhaustion and mental stress will affect the performance of the players.

The whole team flew back to Los Angeles from Denver overnight, and immediately disbanded at the airport, asking the players to go home and take a good rest.

Training can definitely not be arranged, and it is hard to say whether the players will have a good rest after returning home.

Although the basketball team is a collective, it is not like a university or a national team that can be managed centrally.

Essentially, the players go to work, and what they do when they go home is their freedom.

Some players are more self-disciplined. When they go back, they will adjust their state well, take a good rest, and prepare for the game.

And some players are relatively free and undisciplined, go home to eat, drink and have fun, then play music and dance, which makes the body exhausted.

As a result, when the game is played at night, it is possible that the state fluctuates and even becomes very bad.

Of course, the situation is more complicated for some older players who have families and children.

They have to accompany their families, and some may also have to take care of their children, and deal with various problems of children and family members, and they cannot get a good rest.

It is said that Kobe once stayed up all night because of coaxing his children, and continued to train and play the next day.

In addition to admiring his amazing physical fitness and willpower, it also shows that the NBA arena is full of various uncertainties.

The same player stands on the court, you don't know what he went through before the game started, and what impact it will have on his performance tonight.

If Min Congda is still the head coach, he will definitely go home and sleep after returning from the away game.

As a coach, even if you are directing blindly from the sidelines, it is very tiring.

It is much easier to be the general manager, so he still has the energy to ask Bishop Paul Foster to talk about the acquisition in the afternoon.

The past two days at the Great Western Forum arena are really difficult.

The people in the security department resigned suddenly, leaving the arena in an undefended state.

In addition to being dumped a lot of garbage at the door, thieves visited the arena last night and stole some equipment from the arena.

This morning, a group of idlers and idlers who don’t know where came from, ran to the vicinity of the Great Western Forum with a sign, saying that they don’t want to sell the sports and cultural landmark of Los Angeles to New Yorkers.

"The icon of Los Angeles must remain in the hands of Angelenos."

The United States is a country with strong local characteristics. Otherwise, why do people call it the United States of America?

Each state has its own laws and taxation system, has its own distinctive cultural characteristics, and attaches great importance to protection.

Among other things, there are so many states in the United States, and the uniforms of the police in each state are different. If you put it in China, it is impossible.

Therefore, the confrontation between various places will be more serious, and sports events are often a way to vent this conflict.

New York and Los Angeles are the two largest cities on the east and west coasts of the United States. If the Knicks have not been so muddy and unable to support the wall for so many years, they can really be called the rivals of the East and West.

Moreover, Los Angeles has a pleasant climate with bright sunshine, beaches, ocean, and entertainment movies, in stark contrast to New York, which is cold, snowy, and full of tall buildings.

People in the Inglewood area have every reason to stand up and oppose the Knicks' MSG Sports Group's acquisition of the Great Western Forum.

As for whether someone instigated or sent money later, then I don't know, who knows?
In short, in just two days, these issues have caused the church to be overwhelmed, and the negotiations with MSG naturally cannot continue.

Knicks negotiators, who flew out of Los Angeles this afternoon, said they wanted the church to deal with the matter before they could talk.

As soon as the New Yorkers left, Bishop Paul Foster came to meet Min Congda, and the two met at a tea house in Chinatown—this place has become a regular place for Min Congda to negotiate with people.

He found that when he needed to put pressure on others, this kind of dark and mysterious Chinese-style teahouse was quite suitable, and it also matched his identity and temperament very well.

After ordering a pot of tea and lighting a burner of incense, Bishop Foster was no longer as arrogant as before when he saw Min Congda again.

"I heard that you have encountered some troubles recently, right?" Min Congda asked knowingly at the beginning.

Don't you know if people are in trouble?You really went to Christopher for pizza.

Before Donaghy was killed, it really had nothing to do with Min Congda.

But this time, Min Congda did instruct Christopher and gave him financial support.

He spent a sum of money through Sloan's security company to recruit people and cause trouble.

For Min Congda, the purpose of buying the Great Western Forum was to lose money. If he can spend more, he must spend more, regardless of the cost.

Foster knew that Min Congda was asking what he knew, but he had no choice but to say, "Yes, we are indeed in trouble. The negotiations in New York have been terminated, so..."

Min Congda said: "So, you think of our Clippers? Oh, if we negotiated earlier, maybe everything will be settled by now. Why let the New Yorkers get involved and cause so much trouble."

Foster smiled wryly, thinking to himself, selling to the Clippers is actually good, but some people disagree.

Now that the line in New York was broken, and he was asked to come forward to talk to Min Congda, thinking of the conditions proposed by the church, Foster didn't know how to speak.

Considering a series of issues such as new gatherings and prayer places in the future, the church hopes to increase the price to 3500 million US dollars.

Foster thought this was just a joke. The Clippers' previous offer of 3000 million was already higher than the Knicks' 2500 million.

Now that they have squeezed the Knicks away, you come to find them, and you still want to raise the price?Are you going to go crazy?

The Clippers will definitely lower the price, and it would be nice to maintain a price of 3000 million.

After thinking for a long time, Foster really didn't know how to speak, so he kept drinking tea.

Min Congda took the initiative: "Mr. Foster, I'm not a person who likes to go around in circles. Let's talk straight. The Clippers are still willing to buy the Great Western Forum Arena at a price of 3000 million US dollars. What do you think?" ?”

Foster looked a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly, and said: "Uh... We know the sincerity of Mr. Smart, but... but the church hopes to raise the price to 3500 million US dollars..."

Speaking of the latter, Foster was a little embarrassed, why did he dare to increase the price?

"good very good!"

Foster suddenly heard Min Congda's applause.

"Very good, 3500 million, deal! Let's buy the Great Western Forum for 3500 million!"
