In San Antonio, Min Congda's room at the hotel where the Los Angeles Clippers stayed.
"The Los Angeles Clippers unfortunately lost to the 76ers in overtime. They won two of the first three games in a row and lost one. It may be difficult to face the strong teams in the Western Conference in the last three games... Hehe, this article is well written. It is prophetic and agrees with me. The opinions are very consistent. I followed this poster...Eh? Shengfan? Isn't this the Lakers fan from before?"
Min Congda had nothing to do and was browsing the post-game comments on Goupu.com. Min Congda felt that anyone who was not optimistic about the Clippers was justified.
Min Congda was deeply impressed by the poster whose ID was serving rice. This time, they had the same idea again.
"I asked this man in a private message why Randolph performed so well. He told me that it was a contract year...well...although after the contract extension, Randolph's performance was still very good, but in general, what he said was It makes sense, Randolph's recent performance is indeed not as impressive as it was at the beginning of the season, and it is gradually declining."
Randolph's performance in November has a place in the selection of the best player of the month.
However, after entering December, Randolph's data declined, previously stable at 20+10.
Now a game may be like 15+8. In addition to scoring 30 points in an explosion, there are more mediocre games.
In fact, this is not because Randolph's condition has declined, or that he didn't want to play well after receiving a big contract.
It's the impact of adjustments to tactics and rotation within the team.
Dunleavy responded to the call of "everyone has a ball to play" and increased the length of the rotation.
Inside player DeAndre Jordan's playing time has increased significantly, and Randolph's time has been slightly shortened accordingly.
With less playing time, the data will naturally shrink, but Randolph doesn't care.
Because he has already taken the contract, it is normal to give some time to his teammates.
Also, Kaman is in great shape recently, scoring more than 25 points in several games.
In this era of NBA, it is not that easy for an insider to score 25 points in a row.
In the last game against the 76ers, if it weren't for Kaman's tip-in, the Clippers would have lost long ago.
Regarding Kaman's outstanding performance, Min Congda has already become "murderous".
Once there is an opportunity and the system allows it, he will definitely trade Kaman away.
Putting such a player in the team is really too dangerous and too disruptive.
Min Congda looked through the articles and comments on Goupu.com. Although the article about serving rice was very to his liking, it was still too superficial overall.
Including most other articles, they are mainly about emotional output, and there is not enough serious game analysis.
The summary after the game was just a formality. The fans' focus was mainly on the performance of the stars and some topics on and off the court.
Min Congda remembered that he wanted to write a football review. Of course, he was not writing a football review to publish blog clicks and comments on Goupu.com.
Instead, they have to compete with the public opinion in the United States, so that they can control the right to speak and support the Clippers all day long.
"Twitter is not very popular right now. I want to start a blog of my own, and then a Twitter, and then write some football commentary articles to make my blog slowly popular. Then, I often belittle people intentionally or unintentionally. After talking about the Clippers, when this account becomes more and more popular in the future, everyone can see it, can't I hedge those comments that praise the Clippers?"
A plan slowly formed in Min Congda's mind.
In order to be able to show off, we must also do less work on public opinion.
The future is dominated by online public opinion, and he must make arrangements early.
"I definitely can't use my account to write and post articles. If I'm discovered in the future, wouldn't I become a mole? Why don't I ask this Shengfan if he is interested in posting and translating articles on American websites. "
So Min Congda sent another private message to Shengfan: "Is your English good?"
It's night in the United States, and it's noon here with Fan Chen.
After the game, he was watching the game on the forum and writing comments after the game.
When I saw the message reminder light up, I opened it and saw that it was the Clippers general manager McD from last time!
"It's this guy again!" Fan Chen's eyes lit up.
Last time the guy asked him why Randolph was doing so well.
Fan Chen said the contract was for one year, and then joked that the contract could be renewed in advance.
As a result, the Clippers did renew Randolph's contract in advance the next day.
This shocked Fan Chen, who had always been calm.
But he thinks this is just a coincidence.
This person with the ID of Clippers general manager mcd cannot really be the current Clippers manager Smart Min, right?
On the Dog Fight Forum, Smart Min is already very famous, not only because of his skin color, but also because of his unique operations and his increasingly better record with the Clippers.
Of course, Min Congda's influence on the Chinese Internet is still very limited. Fans are most concerned about stars such as Kobe Bryant, James, and Yao Ming.
The position of general manager is inherently inconspicuous, and it must be accumulated to a certain level before it will be recognized by the public.
Fan Chen read the private message. Why did this person ask himself if his English was good?
Fan Chen thought for a while and replied: "It's okay, what's wrong?"
Min Congda: “Can you translate Chinese basketball articles into English?”
Fan Chen: "I usually translate English articles into Chinese. I have never tried converting Chinese to English."
Fan Chen is really modest when he says that his English is not bad. His English is excellent.
Because he has a strong memory, he can memorize a red book of words in one day.
Therefore, his vocabulary is extremely rich. In the past, teachers in English class compositions did not recognize some of the words he used.
Grammar was a no-brainer, they were clearly arranged in his mind.
I can both translate and write various long and difficult sentences.
At the beginning, the teacher suggested that he study languages for the college entrance examination.
He chose mathematics on the grounds that it was too simple and boring.
Because of his excellent English, he volunteered to take over some of the work of the translation team at Goupu.com.
Free translations of professional basketball articles from American websites and magazines are posted online to provide fans with spiritual nourishment.
Min Congda: "Are you interested in translating Chinese basketball articles into English and posting them on websites in the United States for a fee?"
Fan Chen felt interested when he saw the news about Min Congda.
Translate Chinese articles into English and send them to the United States? This is interesting.
The sports industry in the United States is so developed that the articles written by sports commentators and experts there cannot be read.
Are there any Chinese articles whose level exceeds theirs? Can they be translated into English for them to read?
Fan Chen thinks he has a lot of knowledge about basketball, a good level of skills, and good English.
But he is not arrogant enough to post articles or write blogs on American basketball websites.
People can receive first-hand basketball information. Who would be willing to read your articles across the Pacific Ocean?
Just like if you ask Americans to write social news comments about China, you will definitely not be able to write well.
This "Clippers general manager mcd" is really interesting. Is he in the United States?
Fan Chen: "If the article is well written, I can translate it for free. Let me ask you a question, are you in the United States?"
Min Congda: "Then I'll send you an article and see if you can translate it. I'm in the United States."
Fan Chen was shocked. This person was indeed in the United States.
But he was in the United States, so why did he need a Chinese to translate the article into English?
Isn't this too strange?
Fan Chen became more and more interested in this "Clippers General Manager mcd".
"Hey Fan Chen, it's time to go to class, let's go!"
"I'm coming…"
