On the morning of the 16th, Min Congda slept until around 12 noon.
Last night, he and Baron Davis went on a night trip to Santa Barbara, fighting against a busty heroine until the early hours of the morning.
However, Min Congda has always adhered to the principle of never taking the heroine home. No matter how late he plays, he still has to go home alone for the night.
Let's have fun, safety first. The United States is not like China. If you get too high, your life may be in danger.
Min Congda has made a lot of money recently, with 6 losses in 8 games. US$12,000 is enough for him to live happily.
He still bought Apple shares very steadily. In early 2010, Apple's stock price was stable at around US$200.
Anyway, if you have the money to cover your position, that's it. Min Congda doesn't want to do that much. Now he already holds 250 shares of Apple stock.
In another 10 years, these 250 shares of Apple stock will mean that he has assets of US$10 million.
However, it is only 10 million in 10 years, which is still far from having 300 million immediately if the Clippers go bankrupt.
The carefree joy of the night could not cover up the emptiness in his heart. The first thing he did when he woke up from his sleep was Min Congda, who took out his phone and looked at tonight's schedule.
"Tonight's game is at 7:30. The opponent is the Cleveland Cavaliers. Oh, the opponent is No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. Didn't you get these 2,000 yuan again?"
He said he had received 2,000 yuan, but Min Congda didn't have much trouble in his heart.
Because there is no shortage of money on weekdays, and the team has been losing recently, the "ding" on his phone that his salary has arrived can no longer arouse his inner joy.
Just like last night's battle with the busty heroine. Although I was very happy at the time, after it was over, I felt that it was not as fresh as the beginning.
He is still more eager to hope that the Clippers can be finished as soon as possible, so he is thinking about how to put the team in debt and help the team spend money.
"Hey, last night before I drank and went to bed, I was confused and thought of a good way to make the Clippers go into debt and lose money. Why can't I think of it now? Damn it, I should write it down in a notebook if I have any ideas in the future. ...Forget it, let’s go to the team, there’s a game tonight!”
When he woke up, he had forgotten the "good idea" he had thought of last night.
However, Min Congda himself did not notice that basketball games, which he was not very interested in in the past, have now become the focus of his life.
If you don't sleep in in the morning, the first thing you do when you go to the team headquarters is to read yesterday's game report.
He would go to ESPN or other basketball websites to learn about the entire NBA game, and pick out videos of one or two key games to watch.
However, Min Congda was really not very satisfied with the media's battle report, and felt it was not as good as the one he wrote himself.
Now writing and translating battle reports for Fan Chen every day has become one of Min Congda's regular tasks.
He will select a representative game and write about it after watching the video and related reports.
In order to write some articles about the game, he also made a special call to chat with the opponent's general manager to learn about the opponent's team.
Min Congda, who originally had no personal connections with other general managers in the league, gradually established connections with the managers of each team.
Because Min Congda was very famous, everyone was willing to associate with him, and he became an insider from the beginning.
Of course, Min Congda didn't know it himself. He just wanted to get some detailed information to increase the readability of the article.
Now he has more and more fans on Twitter and blog, his influence is gradually growing, and he has gained some popularity in some small circles of fans.
From a communication point of view, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. When the number of fans reaches a certain level and a major public opinion incident occurs, Min Congda's account can truly make a name for itself in the sports media industry.
By then, the messages he posts and articles he writes will become solid content to retain his fan base.
"At that time, I will be able to use this account to turn my hand into clouds and rain, and the Clippers will not be able to do anything about it!"
In the afternoon, sitting in the general manager's office, Min Congda looked at the account with a rising number of fans and felt that the future was promising.
It has only been a few weeks since his account was created, but his followers have increased very quickly, attracting the attention of some professional media.
From time to time, I get private messages from the backend, saying that I want to cooperate, or "incorporate", and can help with account operations, etc.
Of course Min Congda ignored it, he didn't want to reveal his identity.
Min Congdahui posted some news on Twitter, most of which had nothing to do with the Clippers.
It's all gossip from other NBA teams, trade rumors, etc.
It's midway through the season, which is when trade rumors are swirling.
For example, there have been rumors recently that the Timberwolves will trade Al Jefferson, and Min Congda immediately called and communicated with Kahn.
After some bargaining, Min Congda determined that Kahn would not trade Jefferson during the season and was just showing off.
Therefore, Min Congda posted a message on Twitter: "The Timberwolves have no intention of trading Al Jefferson for the time being. They will at least wait until the offseason to make any move."
Sure enough, within two days, the Timberwolves' deal with Jefferson fell through. The Timberwolves officially announced that they would not trade Jefferson for the time being.
On January 10, some domestic media published an article saying that Yi Jianlian was isolated by his teammates in the Nets and would be put on the shelf.
Min Congda called Nets general manager Rod Thorn again, of course, the same thing, to test the price, and then try to figure out whether the other party wanted to trade.
After some testing, Min Congda and Olshey discussed it and decided that the Nets did not want to trade for the time being.
Similar to the situation with Jefferson, it was just to test the waters and prepare for the offseason trade.
Olshey was still thinking, our general manager has finally decided to work hard and pay attention to transactions!
Min Congda just wanted to get the news and send it on Twitter.
He posted on Twitter: "Yi Jianlian is not isolated in the Nets and will not be traded for the time being. He is just an ordinary member of the team."
Yi Jianlian was the only Chinese player still playing in the NBA at the time. His strength and expectations were indeed not as good as Yao Ming.
When he was intercepted by the Bucks in the draft, he and his agent were dissatisfied with the team, which aroused the resentment of many fans, who believed that he chose the team because he had no ability.
In fact, this is a normal business consideration, and American players will still choose the team.
But after that, domestic sports media began to think about Faer's jokes about Yi Jianlian.
"A little smile has earned the coach's trust."
"Pick a board angrily and help the team win."
"ABCDE, Yi Di CBA!"
Some are obviously slanderous, and some seem to be slanderous. In short, in order to attract traffic and cater to the dissatisfaction of some fans, they exaggerate facts and fabricate phenomena, losing the objectivity and impartiality of the media.
"These Chinese sports media are really going too far! Is it easy for Chinese people to have someone who plays in the NBA? Why can't they be objective and seek truth from facts? Do they deserve to criticize him like this?"
When Min Congda opens the China Sports News page every day, he can see the headlines of domestic media criticizing Yi Jianlian. Such headlines often have the highest click-through rate and the most comments, which makes him angry.
"Hey? There's a poll on Twitter? Which NBA team is the stingiest and the worst to their fans... It must be the Clippers. Need I say more? Let me think about it, Ada told me that the Clippers are stingy. Various examples, I want to make up a joke to slander our Clippers!"
Once he faced his own team, Min Congda immediately lost his ability to be objective and impartial.
