Min Congda called the NBA's New York office twice and found that the line was busy. It seemed that New York was very busy.
"No matter what, the system protects my body anyway, and the alliance won't do anything to me. It's just a hit on someone, it's not a big deal."
With the system under his protection, Min Congda relaxed and looked at the time. It was already past five o'clock, and the team would have a preseason game against Maccabi at seven o'clock in the evening.
Min Congda is going to watch this game live. Even if he is in the center of the public opinion storm, he is still not afraid.
After three months of experience, this guy has become quite thick-skinned. No matter what happens to you from east to west, north or south, I will remain unmoved.
You can hit me if you can?
After making some food and tidying up at home, Min Congda drove to Staples Center.
He drove there soon. After parking the car, Min Congda straightened his collar and hairstyle in the mirror and took a deep breath.
Even if you are very thick-skinned, it is not easy to stick to your opinions and remain calm when faced with questioning from a bunch of reporters.
One advantage of Min Congda is that English is not his native language. If many people stare at him and speak too fast, he will not understand.
If you don’t understand it, you won’t take it to heart. If you don’t take it to your heart, how can you care?
"Very well, let the storm come more violently!"
After getting out of the car, Min Congda went straight from the parking lot to the players' locker room.
Generally, there are always many reporters ambushing in the passage to the locker room. They carry cameras or cameras to take pictures of the players and coaches, recording the players' state before entering the field.
When Min Congda came to Stamps to watch a game for the first time, he was constantly slapped by reporters, making him think he was attending Paris Fashion Week.
But when the game is about to start, there will be no reporters in the tunnel, because the players have already entered the court to warm up and prepare for the game. They all ran to the side of the court to grab a good seat.
"Very good, there are no reporters, so hurry up and don't get caught."
Min Congda accelerated his pace through the players' tunnel, and almost bumped into a black janitor lady at a corner.
This aunt was stronger than Min Congda. The two of them lightly brushed against each other, and Min Congda staggered and almost fell down.
The black aunt quickly said sorry, and when she saw it was Mr. Smart, the general manager of the Clippers, she immediately let go of the mop cart in her hand, shook Min Congda's hand, and said, "Thank you, thank you for being so helpful to the players." Speak up and stand on their side."
After saying that, the aunt pushed the mop cart and left, leaving Monk Min Congda Zhanger confused.
Why does this aunt want to thank me for speaking out for the players?
Judging from the skin color and body shape of this aunt, could she be Randolph's mother?
Impossible. Randolph was poor in the past, but now his life is better. How could he let his mother work as a cleaner.
But what if his mother doesn’t want to live a good life at home and just wants to do an ordinary job to realize her self-worth?
"Forget it, stop thinking about it, go to the locker room and take a look, the game is about to start. There are three main players missing today, I hope this game can collapse!"
Min Chongda's wishful thinking can be heard in Cleveland. The Clippers are playing against Maccabi Tel Aviv, a European team (Israel is located in Asia, but the basketball association belongs to the European Basketball Association, and the same goes for football).
In theory, even the weakest team in the NBA is out of reach for European teams.
Because players who cannot play in the NBA are the main players in Europe and can even carry the entire team and win MVP.
For example, PJ Tucker, the fifteenth player of the team signed by Min Chongda, played in the Israeli League in the 2007-2008 season, helped the team win the league championship, and was elected MVP.
Played in the Ukrainian league in the 2008-2009 season, ranking first in the league in points per game!
And just such a player has played more than ten games in the NBA, averaging 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds per game!
Min Congda thought to himself, if it were me on the NBA court, I would get beaten up every game on average, and I would make two free throws on time, averaging 2 points per game.
This guy couldn't score more than two points in a game, but when he went to a European league, he was the MVP and the scoring champion. How big is the gap?
Therefore, if the Clippers lose to Maccabi in the preseason, it will be a further blow to the team's morale, and the team's future in the new season will be cast a deeper shadow.
Maccabi's last game on their trip to the United States was against the Knicks. The Knicks defeated their opponents relatively easily at Madison Garden.
You see, even the Knicks can easily defeat European teams, but you, the Clippers, can't beat them. Even in the preseason, it's embarrassing.
The more Min Congda thought about it, the happier he became. When he arrived at the team's locker room, he opened the door to see the dull atmosphere of the players. After all, the team was in a storm of public opinion and had lost consecutive games recently. How could the guys have the heart to play well? .
As soon as they entered the door, the players all looked towards Min Congda, with a hint of reverence in their eyes.
"Huh? Respect? No...this atmosphere is wrong. Why does it feel solemn? What's going on? Is there a halo on my head?"
Min Congda felt that the atmosphere in the locker room was very wrong. Everyone's eyes shouldn't be like this. Why are you looking at me? I didn't hit anyone.
An even stranger thing happened. I don’t know who took the lead. Everyone suddenly started applauding Min Congda and muttered: “Thank you, Smart.”
"You're right, Smart."
"We're all on your side."
"we support you!"
As they talked, the players stood up and approached Min Congda.
What does it feel like when a group of big black men are walking toward you, clapping their hands?
If he wasn't familiar with these guys, Min Congda would have wanted to run away.
What happened?
At this time, Ada ran into the locker room, saw Min Congda, and said, "Mr. Smart, there are many reporters who want to interview you. They want to know the specific situation."
"Situation? What's the situation?"
Min Congda pulled Ada aside and whispered: "What happened? Why does everyone feel so strange?"
Ada said in surprise: "Mr. Smart, don't you know? The Los Angeles Police Department just issued a notice explaining the fight in the nightclub last night. Randolph and the three were attacked by several white people in the nightclub. They made insulting gestures towards Randolph and said some very outrageous words, which was why Randolph and Davis took action."
"These have been confirmed and are indeed true. The NBA league office held a press conference to express its firm opposition to racial discrimination. Although the players' violent behavior is wrong, everyone will stand on the side of the players and resist discrimination together."
What? racism? Isn't it a fight? No matter what the reason for the fight is, a fight is a fight, and violence is violence.
Violence cannot solve problems, and violence should not be used under any circumstances. The theme of our book is to oppose violence...
Min Congda is in a very confused state, so what is the situation now? Reversed?
"Mr. Smart, you are now a fighter against racial discrimination, and many reporters are waiting for you."
He was a clown just now, why has he become a fighter now?
This clown is not a serious clown.
"Wait for me, wait for me...I..."
An idea flashed through Min Congda's mind: he would support discrimination in front of reporters!
This idea was ruthlessly blocked by the system, prohibiting his extreme death-seeking behavior.
"That's all... I'd better go meet them and take me to Ada."
