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

Chapter 51 The Next Magic
A big city like Los Angeles is a gold mine, a gathering place for wealth and resources, especially for the tertiary industry, with a strong star effect.

An important reason why the Lakers are so successful is that Jerry Buss' tireless star strategy matches the city of Los Angeles very well.

This is the cultural atmosphere of different cities, which affects the team's team building style.

If you want to take root and survive in this city, you will grow into the appearance of this water and soil.

The stars on the sidelines of the Lakers will always attract fans and guarantee more celebrities to come to watch the game.

This will cause a Matthew effect. The Lakers' influence is growing, attracting more and more star fans and ordinary fans.

At this point, I have to admire Jerry Buss' management. In the 1979 draft, he won the Magician and signed a 25-year contract for the Magician.

Intervening to reform the team's style of play, put Pat Riley, who is willing to play fast breaks, on the post, making the Lakers catch up with the Celtics in the 80s.

In the 90s, they dared to give Shaquille O'Neal a billion-dollar contract, and the Sharks won three consecutive championships.

Then when there was a conflict between O'Neal and Kobe, he supported Kobe because Kobe was younger and more popular.

This year they finally won the championship again, and the Zijin Army once again stood at the top of the NBA.

Needless to say in the past two years, the Lakers must have gained a large number of fans again, and the team's market value has continued to rise.

The last time Min Congda met old Bass in Las Vegas, he went back to learn about his deeds, and reminded himself not to follow the old path of Dr. Jerry Bass in building a star team.

Therefore, Min Congda has no interest in the star circle in Los Angeles, and doesn't want to get involved. Don't watch the game, let our little ship fend for itself, sinking alone in the harbor.

Who knew that a big star like Beckham would come to him!
Why am I so unlucky, how can I go to Beckham's shop for a drink and a girl?
He secretly groaned, but Min Congda was still very friendly in face, after all, Beckham's good looks made even him have to give way.

Beckham purposely came over to say hello. Since the other side was trying to save face and compensated for the loss of the nightclub, of course he wanted to come over to make a point.

This is a basic means of socializing. For Beckham, who wants to manage the Los Angeles sports network, Min Congda's status as the general manager and president of the Clippers is still very attractive.

The two shook hands and hugged each other, exchanged greetings, and exchanged contact information. Beckham took Victoria back to his seat.

When parting, Beckham still did not forget to say: "I bought a package ticket for your team for the entire season! It is a support for your work! To be honest, your ticket price is not low, I hope your results are good enough! "

Min Congda said thank you, but cursed in his heart, why did he buy our package ticket?Isn't this increasing the team's income!
Besides, don't you still want to play in AC Milan in Europe?How can you have time to come to Staples to watch the game? It’s not a waste to buy a ticket and not watch it. Think of a way to refund it!

Min Congda sighed for a long time, what's going on, why do you feel that the situation is not good?

Before the fight happened, Min Congda felt that things were going well and that everything was moving in the expected direction.

The team's lineup is terrible, the preseason is lost, the morale of the team is low, some players are sensual, and some are lazy in training.

There was a pessimistic atmosphere in the team. He could clearly feel that the coaching staff and scouts were not paying much attention to the team work. Anyway, Min Congda didn't want them to report to work.

The old Dunleavy did not make any innovations in the team's lineup building and tactical arrangements. It is still the same old style, stacking strikers. This set has achieved some results in 06.

But last season has proved that replacing Brand with Randolph and Sam Cassell with Baron Davis is not a good choice.

In the same position, the power cannot be reproduced by replacing a player with similar functions. The combat effectiveness of the team is related to many factors.

In short, everything looks the same as last season, and even has degraded in combat effectiveness.

No one believes that the arrival of Stephen Curry can completely change the Clippers. He can survive in the NBA and become a qualified rotation.

To be able to make it to the All-Stars is a high-spirited, at least you have to hone in the league for three to five years.

"Originally because of the fight, the team atmosphere will be further worse, because the racial discrimination is temporarily reversed, but this is only temporary. After all, racial discrimination cannot protect the body on the court. Other teams are also black, everyone is the same! "

"As long as the team is weak and the fundamentals of poor record remain the same, no matter what other things happen, it will not change the gradual decline of the Clippers."

"Hmm... My plan is really correct. The general direction is not wrong, but there are occasional accidents in the details. After all, things are spiraling up... No, it's spiraling down. I have confidence in the Clippers!"

Sitting in his seat and thinking about it carefully, Min Congda believed that the Clippers' decline was irreversible!

It's just that there will be some accidents in the process, which is normal, so don't worry too much.

The previous preseason games also proved that the strength of the Clippers is indeed not very good, and the players are in average condition.

Neither the Trail Blazers nor the Warriors are strong teams. Although the preseason games can't be counted, it can be seen from a glimpse.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game between the Clippers and Maccabi Tel Aviv started on time.

Davis and Randolph were absent due to prison terms, and Curry took the starting point guard position.

The position of the starting power forward is played by Marcus Camby, who and Kaman form a combination of twin towers.

Al Thornton at small forward and Eric Gordon at shooting guard.

To be honest, such a lineup can only be said to be so-so in the league.

The backcourt is too young, the inside twin towers are old and white, and lack of athleticism.

In the fiercely competitive West, it will be very difficult for this lineup lacking strong physical fitness to compete for a playoff position.

It's no wonder that Mike Dunleavy wanted to give up coaching. Is there any hope for such a team?

Of course, Mike Dunleavy did not give up completely, because in training he found that Stephen Curry was not as weak as people expected.

On the contrary, there may be a lot of energy in his body, but he doesn't know how much.

"It would be nice if he was Magic, maybe I can recreate a 91-year-old Lakers..."

Dunleavy even fantasized about this. As a novice head coach, he led the Lakers to the Finals in 1991, a year he will never forget in his coaching career.

It is a pity that Magic Johnson subsequently retired early due to HIV, and it is impossible for Dunleavy to coach a player as incomparable as Magic Johnson.

"Forget it, Curry and the Magician are completely different players, how can they be desperate. Let's play a game and watch a game."
