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

Chapter 98

Paul's masterful control of the field in the fourth quarter brought the Clippers and Hornets back to the same starting line.

At this time, the morale has come to the Hornets, and the fans in the New Orleans Arena are cheering.

Min Congda was among them, so naturally he couldn't show anything, he could only secretly eat some popcorn.

"The popcorn in New Orleans isn't great. It tastes like Staples, and it's not as varied as Staples."

"Also, with the Hornets lineup and a star like Paul, why is the attendance not good?"

While Min Congda pays attention to the game, he also pays close attention to the operation of each team.

For example, in the last Thunder game, Oklahoma City fans were very enthusiastic. There were huge crowds at the scene, and they all wore T-shirts of the same color.

It must be a great feeling to play on a course like that.

And New Orleans is sparse at home. Their attendance rate today is estimated to be only about 60, and there are a lot of vacancies.

Here is located in the south, and the southerners of the United States are inherently lazy and have a slow pace of life.

The NBA has tried many times to develop the southern market, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped here.

The jazz team was in New Orleans in the early years, and the team name jazz is also very in line with the cultural tradition here, the birthplace of jazz.

Later, the Jazz moved to Utah, and the Hornets moved here from Charlotte. However, after experiencing Hurricane Katrina in 05, the Hornets went to Oklahoma for a while, and then moved back to New Orleans.

After tossing and tossing, the popularity of the team was dissipated. Although Paul is very strong, he still lacks box office appeal.

"If only the Clippers' attendance is half-dead like this, even if the team wins, it doesn't matter, the team will still lose money."

At this time, the situation on the court became more and more favorable to the Hornets. Randolph was called for an offensive foul, and then Curry and Paul broke out in a small conflict.

Curry was dissatisfied with Paul's small actions and had a physical push with Paul. Then Curry got a technical foul and Paul made a free throw.

The Clippers' energy was removed by the referee's whistle.

Although Min Congda hopes that the Clippers will lose, as the general manager, he will definitely get mad when he sees this situation.

He began to output a pass to the referee.

"Why didn't you blow Paul's technical foul! Why did you stare at Curry and blow it? And the offensive foul just now, if you want to please the New Orleans audience, I advise you to come to a strip show, I will go to your ass I will give you $50 to encourage your wonderful performance, but if you blow the whistle like this, I will not give you a penny, not a penny!"

After several months of training, Min Congda's spoken English has become fluent enough to spray trash in different ways. The language environment is indeed the most important in foreign language learning.

The referee can't call Min Congda a technical foul, but he can give a warning. Tonight's referee is James Carper. He came to the sidelines to remind Min Congda: "Mr. Smart, I advise you to restrain yourself, otherwise the league will fine you .”

As soon as he heard the word fine, Min Congda's eyes lit up, and I finally got another chance to get a fine!
The fine bonus must be recognized by the system when it occurs in a reasonable situation, otherwise the fine will have to be paid by yourself.

In this situation, the system can criticize the referee when it gives a judgment, which is not considered unreasonable.

"If you have the guts, you can fine me, 100? [-] million? I'm not afraid, you bastard, you only dare to domineering over my players, don't you? James Carper, where are you from? Listen Say you are from Texas, Texas, where it is said that only castrated cattle and glass are produced there, I don’t think you look like a cow, then it goes without saying what you are, Capper!”

Jordan, who was sitting on the Clippers' bench, was stunned. He was from Texas, wondering who did the Texans provoke?

Faced with this insult, Capper definitely couldn't bear it anymore, and went to discuss with the technical desk.

The NBA official from the technical station came over with two security guards and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Smart, we can't let you sit here to watch the game anymore, and we ask you to leave."

Min Congda spread his hands and said it didn't matter, he obediently followed the two security guards and left back to the locker room. On the way, he asked the technical official: "Will the league fine you?"

"of course."

"how much is it?"

"Uh... I don't know, maybe ten or twenty thousand dollars."

"It's only [-] to [-]...Damn it, my trash talk just now was very exciting, at least I should be fined [-] or [-]."

Since the last summer league, Min Congda was invited out of the court again, and then watched the Hornets still win the game through the TV in the locker room.

110:103, the Hornets' 7-point advantage took away the victory at home, and the Clippers regrettably lost.

However, Min Congda has reaped a lot, a salary of 2000 US dollars for losing games, plus a possible fine of 20000 US dollars in bonuses.

Haha, it was a fortune. Min Congda found that the fine bonus was much more enjoyable than losing wages.

With a lot of money, simple methods, and fun, he has long been tired of these referees.

He discovered that NBA referees are not based on fairness, but on balance.

Controlling the balance and excitement of the game and satisfying the emotions of the home fans are more things for the referee to consider.

"Unfortunately, the system judges that there are not many opportunities to criticize people. Otherwise, I would scold the referee every game. What's wrong with me? I would have posted it long ago!"

When the Clippers players returned to the locker room, Min Congda comforted the players: "Everyone played very well in this game, but the referee is too bad. Boys cheer up, we still have an away game to play."

Min Congda cheered everyone up, and no one in the entire locker room was more energetic than him.

For the next game against the Grizzlies, Min Congda doesn't really care about winning or losing.

He is waiting for the league to issue a fine notice.

Sure enough, Joe Bozia, vice president of the league, called Min Congda again in the evening.

During the summer league, he was the one who called Min Congda for the fine.

Min Congda marked his phone number: Boy of Giving Money.

"Hey Smart, unfortunately I have to call you again."

"Hey Joe, I feel so warm hearing your voice, is there anything good for me?"

"Hehe, you're really optimistic. It's still a matter of fines. Smart, what you said to Capper is really a bit too much. It's unnecessary. Everyone is working."

"Yes, yes, I was a little angry and said something I shouldn't have said. Please apologize for me like Capper."

"I will convey your apology on my behalf, but an apology cannot replace a fine. The league office decided to issue you a $20000 fine. This is an official game, and we will not be relentless."

Min Congda thought to himself, if you have the guts, you should be tougher.

It’s only $20000, how dare you say you’re tough?

"No problem Joe, I will call the league account for the fine. Thank you for calling. You are welcome to call me next time."

After hanging up the phone, Joe Bozia felt very puzzled. Generally, even if it doesn't matter to the other side of the fine notice, they will not give a good face.

As the league's vice president in charge of referees, Bozia dislikes making such offending phone calls.

But Smart doesn't seem to care at all, is the money too much to burn?

"Smart, this guy is really a maverick. But it is said that he even dares to scold Mr. President. I'd better be careful next time."
