As night fell, the ticket counter at the entrance to Staples Center began to get crowded.
Tonight's game attracted nearly 19,000 spectators. After all, it was the Los Angeles Derby.
For this game, the Clippers deliberately added more than 100 seats to the venue to sell more tickets.
Because the opponent was the Lakers, it was hard to get a ticket for this game, so in terms of ticket sales strategy, Rosser proposed to increase the price.
If you don't make money, you won't make it in vain. If the average price is raised to 100 US dollars, the revenue from this event will reach 2 million US dollars!
One session is worth two, and the average price is US$100 a ticket, so it’s definitely hard to get a ticket.
The Lakers and Clippers are both very popular in the league now, and there are even more gimmicks in this game.
The league's only intra-city derby, the Gasol brothers' showdown, and the conversation between rising star No. 1 pick Curry and Kobe Bryant.
This topicality and contradiction, if you increase it to 200, there will still be a lot of fans watching.
Then in this case, Min Congda rejected Rosser's price increase strategy and insisted on selling tickets at a fair price!
"Our ticket prices have been raised this season, but the fans still support us wholeheartedly in buying tickets to watch the game. Now we are raising prices for a little gimmick and selling high-priced tickets. What do you think of the spectators who usually buy tickets to support the team? No price increase allowed!”
Therefore, at the regular meeting, Min Congda rejected the price increase strategy.
Although Rosser had some complaints in his heart, he also believed from the bottom of his heart that Mr. Smart really had a long-term vision.
Very, very few managers can resist the temptation of the KPI of doubling revenue, insist on not increasing prices, and insist on selling tickets at a fair price.
It can only be said that Mr. Smart’s structure is really much higher than others.
Min Congda thought to himself: "Price increase? Two million tickets are sold for one game. Don't let this mouthful of cash milk make you feel too comfortable. It's really a headache. Why is this football market getting more and more popular? It's terrible."
"After adding Gasol, although it did reduce the team's strength and lose, it increased the topic. He and Gasol are brothers! His mother is really amazing. She gave birth to two children and both scored. NBA.”
After Gasol came to the Clippers, the Clippers' inside strength did lose a piece.
The tactics are even missing a lot, causing the whole team's playing style and rhythm to adjust accordingly.
The cooperation between Randolph and Gasol was not smooth, and Dunleavy once asked Cambido to cooperate with Randolph.
After losing to the 76ers on the 31st, the Clippers lost to the Trail Blazers.
Without Kaman's low post output, the offensive pressure on Randolph's shoulders has increased a lot.
The Clippers' simple and mindless strategy of starting with Randolph and then playing Kaman after Randolph can no longer be used.
The young Gasol's low-post offense is much worse than Kaman, who is already close to an All-Star.
The team's combat effectiveness has declined, but the fans are very interested in this kind of brotherly duel.
The popularity of the Clippers has increased again. If you look at Goupu.com, you will know that the number of people in the Clippers area has been increasing.
The number of clicks on the funny short film "Basketball and Gay" continues to rise.
The Los Angeles Clippers are quickly heading towards becoming an internet celebrity.
"This is an impossible triangle. The team's strength is poor, the team's reputation is low, and the team's profits are poor. Why can't these three appear on the Clippers at the same time?"
Min Congda was very puzzled by this question and couldn't find the answer after thinking hard.
It stands to reason that if the strength is poor, the performance will be poor, and then the reputation will naturally be poor, and the income will be low.
But the reality is that if the strength is poor, the reputation will increase due to various things, and the income will also increase.
Once Min Congda tries to do something, such as investment or price increase, to curb the team's income.
The team's strength has grown quietly, it has played better games, its reputation has increased, and its profits have also increased.
At this time, Min Congda realized something was wrong, and quickly made adjustments to the lineup and play style, and even made trades.
The team's strength fluctuated and declined, but soon the trade boosted the team's reputation, and there were also dramas such as brothers' feud.
Regardless of whether the strength is bad or not, the reputation has increased and the income has increased again!
It's just like pressing down the gourd and raising the gourd. Without a good helper, it's too tiring to do it by yourself.
Looking at the entire Los Angeles Clippers, there is no one who can be his right-hand man.
His Wolong has not appeared yet.
"I'm Gan Liliang, this game is really full and it seems there are fools bidding to buy high-priced tickets! Let me take a look, who are these fools?"
The game is about to start, and needless to say, the Staples Center is packed again.
Min Congda was sitting on the sidelines near the Clippers bench. He looked to the side and saw Jack Nicholson, a Lakers fan.
Although the Clippers are playing at home tonight, their opponent is the Lakers. Of course, Nicholson also wanted to watch the game and spent a lot of money to get his usual seat.
It added another amount to the Clippers' income, and Min Congda decided never to watch his movies again.
The Clippers and Lakers derby battle is the second meeting between the two sides this season.
Two months have passed since the Clippers almost defeated the Lakers in the season opener.
As the defending champion, the Lakers are strong, ranking first in the Western Conference with a record of 27 wins and 8 losses.
After the trade, the Clippers experienced a three-game losing streak and have fallen to eighth place in the Western Conference.
It's just the Clippers' strength that no team in the league dares to underestimate.
The Suns, who are third in the Western Conference, and the Celtics, who are second in the Eastern Conference, were recently defeated by the Clippers.
It's just that everyone doesn't understand why the Clippers, which had a good momentum, had to cut off an arm.
It's a good idea to trade away your All-Star center in his prime and get a young man.
Just because that young man’s last name is Gasol?
Gasol, who had already secured his starting spot with the Grizzlies, had to start from the bench after coming to the Clippers.
Dunleavy put Garfield on the bench in both games, letting veteran Camby start.
This seems to be Lao Deng's protest against Min Congda, protesting against his casual transactions.
Kaman was trained by Lao Deng and he is very easy to use, and this year is Kaman's peak.
Min Congda directly traded Kaman away without saying a word, causing the team environment that everyone thought was stable to suddenly become panicky.
It turns out that these cold-blooded general managers are all the same, and Mr. Smart is no exception.
Of course, Smart didn't do the kind of thing where he promised never to trade you, then turned around and sent you away for a small profit.
He never made any promises to Kaman, and Kaman felt that he didn't need a promise, so he couldn't imagine being replaced.
Faced with Dunleavy's silent protest, Min Cong ignored it.
It's best if you don't use Gasol, the team just keeps losing.
This is exactly what Min Congda wants to see most.
In the backcourt position, Curry successfully replaced Gordon.
Became the team's starting guard, playing double point guard with Baron Davis.
Gordon sprained his ankle and was unable to start the game after returning. Of course, he felt uncomfortable.
Min Congda used a trick to "change the pillars" and brought the Clippers, who had just returned to a stable state.
It caused ups and downs again, and the mole was very proud of it.
"Play hard for me, Lakers, especially Bald No. 2. I have to pay more attention to him."
Min Congda's lifelong enemy, Fisher, was targeted again.
But this time it will not only be Fisher who will defend Curry, but also Kobe Bryant.
Curry's recent outstanding performance has long attracted Kobe's attention.
Tonight is destined to be a hunting moment for defenders.
But who is the hunter and who is the prey is not yet certain.
