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

Chapter 53 The World Shouldn't Be Like This
The press room at Staples Center after the Clippers-Maccabi game.

Min Congda sat on the seat, staring at the microphone in front of him in a daze, with a sense of confusion in his empty eyes.

What happened these two days?Min Congda was puzzled, did he offend anyone?
I didn't do anything outrageous. During this period of time, I just sparred with some heroines. They were all paid, and I didn't lose a penny.

Then, giving his precious first kiss to a beautiful girl, isn't that against the rules?

Has offended some jealous god?Then I'll take my first kiss back to you, can you let me go?

Let's take a look at what happened in the past two days. It was going well, but why did it suddenly feel like it's taking a turn for the worse?
First of all, it is obviously no problem to bring a few veterans from the Clippers to sensuality and ruin the team's atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, this group of guys fought in a nightclub, were arrested by the police, and were photographed by the media. It was a small scandal, which hurt the team's reputation, and the team's further chaos was fine.

Then he spoke nonsense at the press conference, supported the violent behavior of the players, which caused public criticism, and also helped the players pay compensation, making the team's financial situation worse. The handling of this accident is really clever, killing two birds with one stone.

Min Congda himself admired himself, thinking of this poisonous trick of "burning himself with fire" in a very short time, it was perfect.

Unexpectedly, a report issued by the police station turned him from a clown into a fighter, and the morale of the team was therefore high.

What is wrong here?This TM is a problem with the system. There is something wrong with the American society and the American system!

How could a violent incident be transferred to racial issues in the end?How did it go astray?There is no spirit of seeking truth from facts at all, and was kidnapped by political correctness!

As for Beckham coming to the stadium to watch the game later, Blake Griffin was injured and reimbursed, these are accidents, a matter of luck, and will not fundamentally reverse the Clippers' decline.

But the system problem is the fundamental problem, which has caused the Clippers to be greatly affected.

Just after the game, Min Congda felt in the locker room that the whole team seemed to be united.

You said that your black brothers and teammates have beaten people and entered the police station. Why are you united and proud?

Min Congda couldn't understand this kind of group mentality. He was tired, and he felt that the country was hopeless.

At this time, a female reporter under the stage interrupted his philosophical thinking, "Mr. Smart, Mr. Smart, I want to ask you a question!"

Min Congda came back to his senses, turned his head and saw that Olshey and Deng Lewei were already sitting on both sides of him, and the press conference had begun.

"Where do you have so many questions?" Min Congda said angrily, feeling very irritable.

"Uh... I'm a reporter, so of course I have to ask questions..." The reporter was a little confused. I can't even ask questions when I come to the press conference?
"Ask, hurry up, I'm going to eat later."

"What do you think about Blake Griffin's injury claim?"

Griffin was injured during the game, and then the team doctor announced that he needed surgery to recover and would miss all games in the new season.

Expert fans who had been criticizing the Clippers for giving up Griffin before, many people turned their backs because of this, thinking that the Clippers had taken a catastrophe.

Min Congda made a wise decision, allowing the Clippers to avoid a possible second Oden.

The lesson of Oden is close at hand. The 2007 No. 08 rookie season was reimbursed. The 09-[-] season also suffered minor injuries.

Now that Griffin is also injured and reimbursed, fans have praised that the Clippers have avoided a big thunder!

When Min Congda heard the reporter's question, he was so annoyed, which pot would you carry if it doesn't open?

It was so easy for me to choose a player who felt useless among a group of players I didn't know, and gave up the one everyone wanted to choose.

As a result, now that the new season is about to start, you told me that the person everyone was going to choose at the beginning is reimbursed, and he is no longer playing due to injury, and he is no longer on the court!

I can't accept it!

The world shouldn't be like this, and people shouldn't be like this, Ah Chen.

Min Congda was so angry that he really wanted to pull up the microphone in front of him and stuff it into the female reporter's mouth.

"Of course I feel very sorry. Griffin is a good player. I deeply regret his injury. I think he will recover and return to the court as soon as possible. I look forward to him playing at the Staples Center. Let the fans in Los Angeles appreciate his dunk."

Min Congda's answer was quite satisfactory. Of course, this kind of Tai Chi answer would not satisfy the reporter.

Immediately someone asked again: "Did you consider the risk of Griffin's injury before the draft? That's why you didn't choose Griffin?"

Min Congda was already suppressing his temper. When he heard this, he slapped the table in a hurry and said loudly: "A player is injured and reimbursed! An excellent young man needs surgery and cannot play for a year. His future is uncertain. All Everyone is worried about him, and hope he gets better! Why do you all focus on me, why didn't I choose him!"

"The draft has been over for more than three months, and the results are irreversible. Why do you keep asking questions like this? Is it boring? Very boring, what a boring question."

"You guys in Los Angeles have one thing that's great, you run fast, you can get to the scene as soon as something happens, it's like yesterday at the bar, but you didn't figure out what happened. Please improve your knowledge Level, improve the skills of asking questions, don't always want to make big news!"

"As a Chinese, I would like to offer you some life experience and suggestions. You should learn from it, be more benevolent, more moral, and don't treat news as a pure traffic tool. This is the end of my interview. What else? Ask Mr. Dunleavy and Mr. Olshey, I'm going to supper..."

After finishing speaking, Min Congda got up and left the news hall, leaving behind a group of reporters with bewildered faces.

Everything is going well and smoothly today, why did he lose his temper so much?
Dun Levy couldn't understand it, and Olshey couldn't understand it either, but they looked at Min Congda differently than before.

Olshey thought: "Maybe Mr. Smart's team building and draft ideas are correct, and everything is moving in a good direction, isn't it? Everyone's work has become easier and they can get more money. It shows that we had too many ineffective jobs in the past. Mr. Smart’s work reform of reducing burdens and raising wages is probably correct. And his conduct... Nothing to say, he is not complacent about Griffin’s reimbursement.”

Dunleavy thought: "The Clippers may still be saved. This guy is very good at building player morale and changing the team's reputation. With his leadership, the Clippers may really be able to get out of the quagmire. I also want to Go to a higher stage, after all, I haven't been to that place for a long, long time."

Dunleavy has participated in the Finals twice, once as a player representing the Rockets in the 1981 Finals, and once ten years later in 1991 when he led the Lakers to the Finals, he failed to win the championship twice.

After that, he was never able to go to the highest stage, the place where all players and coaches dream of.

Almost 20 years.
