Min Congda's attention has been completely focused on the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies vs. the Knicks.
He didn't bother to figure out what was going on in Wallace's mind. He kept Randolph just to show off.
Why doesn't a player who everyone says is a cancer stay and contribute to his ruined career?
This game was Min Congda's first time to watch an official basketball game. After being the Clippers manager for more than two weeks, he still had little knowledge of basketball games.
Who makes him think about eating every time he goes to the training center?
Now I feel that it is no longer possible. We should still understand the game itself in order to make better judgments on the future development of players and teams, and effectively avoid some talents and development advantages.
The core player of the Grizzlies Summer League is of course Griffin, and his inside partner is power forward Darrell Arthur (the No. 27 pick in 2008).
On the outside are small forward DeMarre Carroll (the No. 27 pick today), guard Sam Young (the No. 36 pick in this year's second round), and guard Marcus Williams (the No. 22 pick in 2006). rookie).
The most eye-catching thing facing the Knicks is the forward Jordan Hill they selected with the eighth overall pick this year. He also has the names of two NBA superstars, but he was the Knicks' helpless choice in the draft.
Stephen Curry, whom they were originally optimistic about, was selected by the Clippers with the first pick. At that time, Madison Garden was booed, and the Knicks front office was even numb.
He expected that Hu would be intercepted, but he didn't expect that he would be intercepted with the first pick. MD was not mentally prepared at all.
The Timberwolves chose Fulin sixth, leaving the originally popular Rubio behind, and then was taken away by the Warriors.
The Knicks' last glimmer of hope was shattered, so they had no choice but to break the pot, thinking that since they couldn't get Curry or Rubio, they would get an insider.
Not to mention why the Knicks are called bad guys, the draft plan and selection work are not good at all. Since you are determined to get a guard, you naturally have to examine other guards. If you can't get the one you like, just take the inside. Already?
There are better defenders like DeRozan, Jennings, and Holiday behind, but the Knicks missed them all.
It can be seen from the relatively low-intensity and low-level games like the Summer League that Jordan Hill's strength is not very good.
Griffin easily scored 29 points in the first game, highlighting his talent in the summer league.
In this game, the two faced off directly and had a one-on-one conversation on the court.
Not long after the first half of the game started, Hill and Griffin had several rounds of exchanges.
Griffin attacks Hill with the ball. It can be seen that Hill, who is slightly lanky, looks very fragile in front of Griffin, who is as strong as a lion.
Very easily, Griffin scored a few goals, and the Grizzlies took the lead at the beginning.
In turn, when the Knicks attack, Hill has little ability to attack independently with the ball.
The Grizzlies use Arthur to guard Hill. Hill cannot attack by himself with the ball and can only serve as an assist for outside attackers.
Min Congda watched a few rounds, and his first impression was that Blake Griffin was really, really strong.
In Min Chongda's view, most NBA players are very strong. People like Curry who are evaluated as "skinny" would look like burly men and human-shaped losers in front of ordinary people.
Not to mention the 7-foot-tall DeAndre Jordan and the round creature Eric Gordon, all of whom are strong and strong.
But they all looked down on Griffin. Even if Jordan is taller than Griffin, if you want to say who is stronger, Min Congda will choose Griffin.
He is a sturdy man among sturdy men, with broad shoulders and a majestic figure. His two arms are like the thighs of an ordinary person. His whole body shape gives people the impression of being full of tension and explosive power.
Hill, who is 2.08 meters tall, is obviously a little taller than Griffin, but standing next to Griffin he feels smaller.
The difference in performance between the two on the court is even more visible to the naked eye. Even a basketball layman like Min Congda can see that a person who is heavier and stronger than you is faster than you, jumps higher than you, and has more explosive power than you. Stronger and more responsive.

The rules of the summer league are different from the regular season. There are four quarters of games, each quarter is only 10 minutes.
As an informal game, the referee does not have so much pressure to call penalties. The cumulative number of fouls committed by the players can reach 10. During the game, there will be no official timeout for advertising. The two sides focus on training and will not worry about every ball. .
So overall the game was very smooth and the 10 minutes passed very quickly.
At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies succeeded in stealing the ball in the backcourt. Carroll stole the ball and passed it directly to Griffin who had not returned to defense before halftime. Griffin caught the ball and turned around and went straight to the basket!
The audience stood up and could watch the gryphon's violent dunk in the air!
Of course Griffin would not give up this opportunity to perform. Before the game started, he received news that the Clippers general manager was sitting on the sidelines watching the game. With a sense of resentment in his heart, he dribbled towards the basket and rushed toward the basket. !
You know, before the draft, everyone believed that Griffin would definitely be the No. 1 pick.
Family, friends, and the media all regard him as the first choice.
The family is ready to start a new life in Los Angeles and start his basketball era in the most prosperous city in the West.
Rosser, Olshey, and the entire Clippers management team have all met with Griffin's family, and it is clear that Griffin will be chosen, and others will not consider it at all.
Rosser also showed him the modified suit he wore at the draw, with the Clippers' No. 23 jersey embroidered inside, showing the team's extremely determined attitude.
Until one minute before the start of the draft, Griffin was sure that he would be the first one to take the stage. Little did he know that the world is so wonderful.
When Stern came on stage a minute late, Griffin felt something was wrong and had a premonition that something might change.
Sure enough, the moment Stern opened the envelope, the surprise on his face betrayed him. It was not Griffin, but the little-known little man from Davidson College!
At that moment, unprecedented embarrassment and grievance invaded Griffin's heart. Even though the Grizzlies selected him with the second overall pick, Griffin's head was still buzzing when he walked on the stage.
Afterwards, both Rosser and Olshey called to explain, but Griffin didn't answer. Later, his parents told him that it was because an airborne general manager named Smart changed his mind at the last moment of the draft.
This change caused Griffin to lose his reputation as the No. 1 pick, and the fate of his basketball career was completely changed. He went from the prosperous West Coast to the quiet Mississippi River in the south.
Does Griffin hate Min Chongda? There is no hatred, the two have no friendship at all. If the two knew each other before and Min Congda said he wanted to choose him but didn't, Griffin would have held a grudge.
Since there is no intersection and it is just Min Congda's choice based on his own judgment, there is nothing to hate.
Griffin just wanted to prove in front of him that I was the real No. 1 pick and the most talented player in 2009!
In an instant, Griffin jumped up from the free throw line, opened his body like a bow, and used a violent force to slam the ball into the basket. He regarded the basket as Min Chongda's head and wanted to smash it. Broken with one blow!
There was a loud "bang" sound, and Griffin dunked angrily, which made the basket tremble, which is enough to show how much strength he put into this dunk.
The fans at the scene almost went crazy after the goal. This dunk full of violent beauty is enough to make any fan's blood boil!
Chris Wallace couldn't help but stand up and applaud and shout. He was excited and excited to get such a player in the draft. The Grizzlies finally have hope after so many years of rottenness!
Wallace asked Min Congda in a proud tone: "Mr. Smart, what do you think of this ball? Is it shocking?"
Min Congda nodded, but he asked: "Chris, I want to ask, is this ball...offside?"
