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

Chapter 550
"You changed three kindergartens when you were young?"

"Nothing, obviously only changed once."

"Then the primary school has been changed four times? The schools are all closed?"

"Huh~ I'm really exaggerating. I only changed schools twice. One time I changed schools. Only one school closed. Sure enough, people like to exaggerate when they retell other people's experiences."

"Even if it's an exaggeration, what about college majors being canceled? It's always true, isn't it?"

"...It's true, and I can't help it just in time for the adjustment of majors in colleges and universities."

"I heard that your mentor had a stroke?"

"Kevin is such a big mouth, why can he talk about everything. This matter is true, and I have been worrying about it recently. I came to study hard, but the teacher fell ill. According to this, I am really a bit unlucky. But In that chat, I was just joking, telling everyone about the bad things I experienced to make everyone happy."

"Hey, but I want to say that it is true that the stars I liked in the past always had accidents. Liu Xiaoqing, do you know? I liked her very much when I was young, and she is the only actress I like. In 95, she played Wu Zetian, I am 8 years old, I wait in front of the TV every day after school, and I like to imitate her as an empress by wearing a bed sheet at home! Hey, she was arrested for tax evasion and tax evasion. I also..."

In an ordinary coffee shop in the northeast of Inglewood, Yang Ruosi gently stirred the coffee cup with a spoon, rested her chin with the other hand, looked out the window, and talked about some interesting things about her childhood.

She stopped halfway through the speech, thinking why should she talk to him seriously, this man seems to be here to laugh at herself.

Yesterday Min Congda called and asked Yang Ruosi for a cup of coffee.

Yang Ruosi, who was at a loss because of his mentor's illness, agreed.

She herself also felt that she was a bit unlucky, especially on the way to school.

It seems that the luck of the family was exhausted after his father was cheated for raising funds to develop the mine.

After that, no matter what she did, she always stumbled, but fortunately, everything was not so bad. She often laughed at her own bad luck with her friends, and was called "broke sister".

But it was the first time that Min Congda came to her door to ask her about her bad luck face to face.

Min Congda stopped talking halfway through what she had said, and said, "Hey, why didn't you say it? Go on, I still want to hear it."

Yang Ruosi rolled her eyes at him, and said, "You called me to have coffee just to hear about my bad luck? If you want to hear more, I'll charge you... Forget it, you invited us to watch the game after all, It’s still a private room. Let me tell you another one. Do you know the China News? It’s a well-known state-run newspaper, and I went to work for this unit when I graduated from my undergraduate degree.”

Min Congda asked curiously, "You majored in journalism as an undergraduate?"

Yang Ruosi shook her head: "No, what's the use of studying news media in China? The media also recruits other majors, so I went in anyway. After working for less than a year, this central-level media closed down due to insolvency .That's why I chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination and then study for a Ph.D."

"China News" is a paper media established in 1993. It is indeed a serious central-level media. Unfortunately, it was born at an untimely time. Under the impact of the new era of Internet media, it fell into insolvency in just over ten years. dilemma.

In 2009, it declared bankruptcy and became the first central-level paper media to go bankrupt.

Min Congda had never heard of this newspaper, but that was unimportant.

He thought that the person sitting opposite him was exactly the talent he needed!

There is a saying that there is no garbage in this world, only misplaced resources.

He took a sip of coffee and said, "Hey, your tutor has suffered a stroke and collapsed. What about your homework?"

Yang Ruosi sighed, and said, "Think of a way to change your mentor, it's really bad."

Min Congda said: "What about after changing the supervisor? Study in the United States for a year, return to China next year, continue to study for a Ph. D., and stay in school to teach?"

Yang Ruosi nodded, and joked: "I think this is the most suitable path for me. The university will not go bankrupt, right? If there is a country to support me, it should be able to withstand my bad luck."

Min Congda thought to himself, if you go back and knock down the two principals, I'm really sorry for your previous experience.

"Cough~" Min Congda coughed and approached, "Hey, are you interested in working for our team?"

Yang Ruosi thought he heard it wrong, and said with a smile, "What? To work for your team? Just kidding, I don't know anything about sports."

Min Congda said: "Hey, you don't need to understand sports. Although the team is in the sports industry, it is like a big company. It doesn't mean that everyone should be engaged in sports-related work, right? We also need finance, media, and sales. Needs logistics. We have a vacancy in the media department, if you want, you can come and work here."

This proposal made Yang Ruosi never expect that the two met by chance and could only be regarded as ordinary friends.

Although Yang Ruosi had some special thoughts about him, who hasn't had a few heart-warming moments as an adult?

After sending an email that said she wanted to watch the game, Yang Ruosi felt that she and Min Congda were from two worlds.

Although he has an ordinary side, just like the classmates and friends around him, he is gentle and friendly, and occasionally says some witty words, laughs and rolls his eyes.

But he obviously has another side that he can't touch at all. It is the face of him when he is at the top of the society in the United States and is with those celebrities, stars, and stars.

This sense of strangeness and mystery not only deepened Min Congda's attractiveness, but also made people daunted.

"But why did you ask me to do this job? It should be very easy for your team to recruit people. There must be a lot of people who want to join your team."

"Of course there are many people who want to join our team, but there are very few who meet my requirements. According to our Clippers' development strategy, we will vigorously develop overseas markets, especially Chinese and Asian markets. The Basketball Development Foundation has been deployed in China. We have a large number of training camps, trainers and training bases. Now that the Clippers have won the championship, we need to vigorously promote the team. Therefore, the team urgently needs A young, capable, highly educated talent who is proficient in Chinese and English, has experience in news media work, and has strong writing skills!"

Min Congda threw out the lines he had prepared a long time ago, which made Yang Ruosi dizzy.

Thinking about it carefully, isn’t it her who is proficient in both Chinese and English, has a job in the news media, has strong writing skills, and is also highly educated?

But there is something sinister about this matter.

She is a good graduate student of literature in the United States, why is she about to be pulled into the NBA team to work?
Yang Ruosi has never thought about working in the United States. Her visa is a big problem in the first place.

She is on a student visa. If she works in the United States, she can only work 20 hours a week part-time or 40 hours a week full-time.

If this time is exceeded, she will be deported.

Most of the part-time work is to earn money. Although Yang Ruosi’s family went bankrupt in the early years, they have a good foundation. Although they are not very rich, they don’t have to work part-time to earn living expenses. money.

After thinking briefly, Yang Ruosi shook her head and said, "I came to the United States to study, but I didn't expect to work. Thank you for your kindness. Besides, the place where I work and study, bankrupt bankrupt, bankrupt bankrupt, I I don't want to hurt you."

Min Congda shouted in his heart, you are not harming me, you are helping me!

After finally grabbing a metaphysics life-saving straw, Min Congda will not give up lightly.

But after persuading for a while, Yang Ruosi still rejected Min Congda's proposal.

In the end, Yang Ruosi even suspected Min Congda's motives, and she said directly: "You don't have any special purpose, do you? Although I admit that you are very attractive and special, I will not work for you because of this." of."

Min Congda said: "You think too much, I just love talents! Forget it, you can contact me again when you have this idea."

Unable to convince for a while, Min Congda could only discuss in the long run.

And Yang Ruosi bit her lip, wondering what this guy meant, could it be because of love?
What kind of unlucky reason is this, what talent does she have?
Throughout November, the Clippers were in an invincible state in the league.

On November 11, the Clippers played against the Galaxy Warship Miami Heat at home.

The Heat of the "Big Five" faced off against the defending champion Youth Army at the Staples Center.

After two weeks of running-in, the Heat gradually found their status. They had won four consecutive victories before.

Dwight Howard was affected by injuries. Compared with the peak period in 09 and 10, his state is only 70% to 80%.

But he and Bosh are still the most powerful inside combination in the league.

If the Heat had such a combination last season, facing the Clippers inside duo, the Heat would have an advantage.

But this season the Clippers ushered in the No. [-] pick Anthony Davis, and the inside balance is tilted towards the Clippers.

The greater advantage of the Clippers is their striker.

The Heat's striker can only rely on two veterans, Lewis and Ray Allen, to top the tank.

The Clippers George, Leonard, and Butler are full of energy and put tremendous pressure on the Heat in terms of rhythm.

The Clippers' game rhythm highlights a fast, fast offense, fast defense, fast conversion, and fast passing.

The speed of the Clippers is not blindly fast, not the kind of "reckless fast", but because their lineup is too young, the players are physically fit, the rotation is sufficient, and the cooperation is tacit.

The Heat tried to compete with the Clippers throughout the game, hoping to suppress the speed of the game and let Steve Nash control the speed of the game.

But the result was in vain. Nash has tried his best to suppress the rhythm, but the problem is that there are three or more players on the Clippers field who can lead the rhythm at any time. How do you grab the rhythm in this game?
For example, Gasol gets a backcourt rebound. At this time, the Heat will attack Curry or Harden appropriately to delay Gasol's pass to Curry, so that the Clippers will not be able to increase their speed.

But the problem is that Gasol will now choose to dribble directly across the frontcourt, dragging Howard.

Once others come to intercept, Gasol will go straight to the frontcourt, and George or Leonard will attack the basket after receiving the ball.

This kind of attack, how do you suppress his rhythm, you can only follow the rhythm of the Clippers.

In the first half, the Clippers led the Heat by 9 points.

In the second half, Spoelscola changed his strategy, strengthened the confrontation in defense, and often used full-court pressing to interfere with the Clippers' advancement, causing the Clippers to make more mistakes.

This trick did work, and the Clippers made some mistakes at the beginning of the third quarter.

Wade used the counterattack to score consecutively, narrowing the difference between the two sides.

Tyronn Lue responded immediately, replacing Randolph and Leonard, and played a big and a small four to break the Heat's full-court oppressive defense.

After repeated drills last season, the Clippers' first and fourth juniors are already very mature routines.

Three passes and two leads broke the Heat's full-court press.

Moreover, the Heat are restricted by physical fitness, and it is impossible to maintain this defensive intensity all the time.

The Clippers once again took advantage of the field.

However, the personal ability of the Heat players is really strong.

Wade and Bosh relied on their personal abilities to fight one after another.

Inside Howard also frequently grabbed offensive rebounds and made strong shots.

Spoelscola knows that it is difficult for the Heat to take advantage of tactics.

The best way is to muddy the waters of the game and use the players' personal abilities and experience to try to win the game.

In the second half of the third quarter, Spoelscola made frequent substitutions, made frequent fouls, and sent the Clippers players to the free throw line.

Because he found that instead of allowing the Clippers to play fast offense and hit consecutive three-pointers, it is better to let them score from the free throw line.

Fewer points will be scored at the free throw line, and their offensive feel will be undermined.

The Heat's move had a certain effect. The Clippers had some problems in the offense during the third and fourth quarters.

The Heat seized the opportunity of the chaotic battle and scored consecutively to close the score.

Obviously, Spoelscola has found some ways to deal with the Clippers: it is necessary to drag the game into chaos, and then use the players' personal abilities to suppress the Clippers.

This is the only flaw of the Clippers at present: the young players are full of talent, but the skills have not yet matured, the experience is not mature enough, and the players have not yet entered their peak period.

If you want to beat the Clippers, you have to be sophisticated enough and fueled enough to withstand their impact.

Last season, the Lakers were sophisticated and slick enough, but unfortunately they couldn't withstand the impact of the Clippers, and their own outside three-pointers were too bad.

The Cavaliers' ability to top the cylinder is hard enough, but James is still not smooth enough. He tried to fight the Clippers recklessly, and the result was that he was pulled four games in a row.

The Heat collected so many famous stars in the regular season, and the overall goal of the season is naturally the Clippers.

The Heat chased points a little bit in the fourth quarter. With less than 1 minute left before the end of the game, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, reducing the difference between the two sides to only 2 points.

At the critical moment again, the Heat faced the same problem as the Lakers: Who is the focus of defense?
There is no solution to this problem. After a timeout, Gasol caught the ball at the top of the arc and hit a mid-range shot. The Clippers opened the score again.

With Wade's fallback jumper missed, the Heat finally lost the game 97:101, with a 4-point gap.

The Clippers unplugged one of the hardest fortresses in the November schedule.

This victory is a victory for the Clippers team, with 7 players scoring in double figures.

The highest scorer was Gasol Jr. Facing Howard, he scored a season-high 22 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, and also hit a key mid-range shot.

In front of the former No. [-] center, Gasol Jr. proved himself well.

After that, the Clippers became even more unstoppable. In the game that followed on November 11, the Clippers beat the Chicago Bulls without Rose at home.

They scored 111 points on the Bulls who are good at defense. The Bulls did not have the arrow Rose and only scored a poor 80 points.

Starting from the 19th, the Clippers started a wave of four consecutive visitors.

On the 19th, 107:91, San Antonio, the Clippers beat the Spurs.

James Harden and Curry combined for 77 points.

The two young men didn't respect their old comrades at all, and scored high points every time they played against the Spurs.

On the 21st, in Oklahoma City, facing his former owner, the Thunder, Harden softened.

The game became Curry's personal show. Curry scored 41 points and led the team to 109:106. The 3-point advantage gave the Thunder a defeat.

The away game deserves to be a superstar show.

On the 23rd, facing the Brooklyn Nets, the Clippers used their defense to strengthen the Nets when the team's offense was not performing well.

Zach Randolph scored 22 points and 17 rebounds, including 6 offensive rebounds, relying on a strong inside attack.

In the end, their 90-86, an atypical defensive victory, continued their winning streak for the new season.

The Clippers are now a typical case where the east is not bright and the west is bright, and the south and the north can also be bright.

Even if the Clippers team's offense is not good in any game, their defense is not vegetarian.

The Heat and the Thunder actually gave the best solution, which is to drag into a chaotic battle, muddy the water, and rely on personal ability to force the Clippers.

But how can other teams have the same configuration as the Heat and Thunder.

By November 11, the Clippers returned to their home court to face the boy Timberwolves who sent points.

Everyone knows that in November, the Clippers will retreat with a complete victory.

The Timberwolves did not disappoint the home fans. They were swept by the Clippers without any suspense at 97:128.

Since then, the Clippers have won 15 consecutive victories and have not lost a game since the start of the season.

Now, the news headline "Who can beat the Clippers" repeatedly appears on the headlines of the news media.

Let people who don't pay much attention to basketball notice that they start to care about when the Clippers will lose?

The ratings of the Clippers and the attention of the team have thus greatly increased.

Throughout the Los Angeles area, the Clippers are surpassing the Lakers in terms of prestige and discussion.

Especially on campuses where there are many young people, there are more and more fans who like the Clippers.

On the first day of December, while having lunch at school, Yang Ruosi received a phone call.

It was a woman calling, saying she wanted to see her, and the woman was none other than Ada.

Ada Antolini.

Yang Ruosi was surprised by Ada's visit.

For more than half a month, Min Congda has not given up the idea of ​​inviting her to work for the Clippers.

To be honest, Yang Ruosi was a little shaken. First of all, because of her mentor's problem, she really didn't have much to do recently.

Secondly, Min Congda's attitude is very sincere, and he doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. He really wants to develop the Chinese market and needs media talents.

The reason why Yang Ruosi did not agree was mainly because she felt that she was not really suitable for the job.

But she always refused, and she was a little embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Min Congda's personal secretary found the school. Could it be that he came to be a lobbyist?
After meeting, Ada said directly: "Miss Ross, I would like to invite you to be the Chinese teacher of the media department of the Clippers to help us develop the Chinese market. You only need to come to class twice a week, and it won't take up too much of your time." If we spend more time, the rewards we will give will be very generous, what do you think?"

Ada's invitation was much smarter than Min Congda's.

Min Congda asked someone to come to the media and be a reporter, to be on his own, how could Yang Ruosi agree to this, it was beyond his power.

Ada asked Yang Ruosi to teach, which was a piece of cake for Yang Ruosi, who majored in literature.

Moreover, there are two classes a week, the pay is very generous, and there is no pressure. It is naturally much easier for people to agree.

After thinking for a while, Yang Ruosi agreed, and then asked, "Did your manager ask you to come?"

Ada shook her head and said, "No, I handle all his emails. I think he really wants to invite you to work. I think I should find a way to invite you over."

Yang Ruosi said: "You also think that I will help the team's development?"

Ada shook her head again, and said, "I don't know, but his decision is always right."

Yang Ruosi was speechless, and Ada said again: "Miss Rose, can you teach me Chinese alone in the future? I want to learn Chinese."

Yang Ruosi nodded, "Okay. By the way, you should have known Smart for a long time. What kind of person do you think he is?"

Ada blurted out, "He's a great guy, very, very great."

Yang Ruosi could feel that there was light in Ada's eyes, the kind of light that made people feel envious.
