"Because it's close."
This is the most perfect answer Min Congda got in many interviews.
Min Congda didn't believe those endless inspirational stories, or the love story between the Clippers and the Clippers that they just made up when they heard it. Who the hell has loved the Clippers since childhood?
They just want to gain Min Congda's trust, strive to be selected into the league, and then have a successful career with the Clippers.
They are eager to grow and know that the Clippers are short of someone at the third position. They can become a youth army with Curry and Gasol.
These are what Min Congda doesn't want to see, the young soldiers who go to NM, and the three young men and three heroes who go to NM.
The best reason to come to play with the Clippers is because it's close.
It fully reflects the hesitation of a weak family-loving boy regarding future challenges.
He just wants to find a team to play close to home so that he can go home and see his mother in his free time.
During the offseason, you don’t have to fly back and forth. You can just go fishing and eat barbecue by the rivers and ponds in Palm Springs, Los Angeles.
Earning millions of dollars a year, relying on good talent to get by, work for seven or eight years, and earn tens of millions of dollars in salary.
Use this money to invest and buy a house, which will be enough for you to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life.
You can also rely on your emotional intelligence or network to find a position in the NBA and receive a salary until retirement.
This little life is really full of joy, many times better than those ordinary black people who are struggling to make ends meet.
No wonder these black boys have to squeeze their heads to enter the high-paying circle of the NBA. Their destiny has indeed changed completely.
Min Congda thought a lot at that time, and he arranged Paul George's life after retirement.
He had a very good impression of George, a thin young man, and had secretly decided that he would be selected in this year's draft.
I just don’t know if any other teams are interested in George, especially the teams at the top.
Min Congda asked: "Have you tried out with any other teams?"
George answered truthfully: "Been to the Pacers, Indiana."
"Do you want to go play in Indiana?"
"Emmm... I don't think so, it's too far."
George wasn't talking nonsense, he was telling the truth. He really felt that Indiana was too far away.
Although he met the former superstar Larry Bird in the Pacers.
The Pacers conducted a very rigorous and comprehensive inspection of his trial training and interviews.
Bird was quite satisfied with him and said he might take him with the tenth pick.
However, George never thought about going to Indiana to play ball. His only impressions there were of cornfields, racing cars and Reggie Miller.
Miller, like Paul George, is also a player born in California.
His first reaction after being selected by the Pacers in the draft was: Where is TM's Indiana?
As a result, Miller stayed in Indiana for 20 years.
George couldn't imagine what it would be like to stay in Indiana for 20 years.
When he was in college, he chose the unknown Fresno University because it was in California.
Being close to home, he can go home at any time, and his family can also come to school to watch him play.
Unlike some black players who don't even know who their father is, George has a complete and happy family.
And his father loved him very much. In order to help his son fulfill his basketball dream, he worked two jobs a day.
This is much better than those black fathers who contribute a tadpole and then disappear.
He also has a sister who is good at playing football and has been practicing with him since childhood.
This is very similar to Reggie Miller, except that Reggie Miller's sister is too naughty and Reggie can't beat her.
Players from such families will not be as stubborn and surly as those children of single parents.
Most of them are soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and they hide their sharp points.
Curry is such a young man, and Min Congda obviously doesn't have enough psychology.
He didn't learn a lesson from Curry at all, and he thought Paul George was lazy and weak.
During the halftime break, Min Congda consulted the scouting team for their opinions.
Piombetti shook his head and said: "He is too casual and undisciplined. And his static talent is not very good, worse than Aminu, he is too thin."
When Piombetti mentioned "thin", Min Congda should have been alerted.
Because the original evaluation of Curry was too thin.
It's a pity that Min Congda couldn't listen. He just thought Paul George was good.
It's very suitable to be a badass player and contribute to the team's failure.
The scouting team is still saying bad things about George, which undoubtedly strengthens Min Congda's idea.
Big brother, if the Clippers scouting team were reliable, could they be like the bears they are today?
Min Congda will definitely not listen to the scouting team's opinions. I have made up my mind!
During the draft, as long as no team robs him halfway, Min Congda will win George.
If he is robbed halfway, Min Congda will give the choice to God.
Make up numbers for the young people in the lottery area, roll the dice, and whoever rolls is the winner.
In fact, teams like the Clippers roll the dice among a group of lottery picks in the draft every year, and maybe they will all be better than they are now.
In the second half of the finals, the Celtics still maintained their lead over the Lakers.
The competition between the two sides has reached a real climax, and every score is a battle.
Kobe, the original scoring maniac, was fighting hard while fighting for every rebound.
It can be seen that Kobe, as well as the other nine players on the court, are playing with their lives.
In fact, Min Congda is not very understanding. Is the championship that important?
Anyway, the money was taken, and ten people competing for a ball on the court was, to put it bluntly, a game.
Many people regard it as their entire pursuit in life, and it is certainly worth it from a financial perspective.
But what if there is no money? Not so many people liked it, in an era when professional leagues were not yet developed.
Will people still give everything for a championship like this?
A season has passed, and Min Congda is still confused.
He saw Paul George staring at the court very carefully and intently.
The whole person was extremely nervous, and it could be seen from his expression that he supported the Lakers.
Min Congda suddenly asked: "Are you a fan of Kobe?"
Paul George nodded subconsciously, and then felt something was wrong.
He hurriedly said: "I...I am also a Clippers fan."
Min Congda smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's not shameful to be a Lakers fan."
George lowered his head and continued to watch the game between the Lakers and Celtics.
When he was 10 years old, George witnessed the Lakers and Kobe Bryant win the championship at Staples.
That summer he put a poster of Kobe on his bedroom wall and imitated Kobe's moves every day on the court.
Like many children who love basketball, he longs to play like Kobe one day and compete with Kobe.
Twenty minutes later, the Lakers, who had been trailing by more than ten points since the first quarter, completed a tenacious comeback.
Although in Min Congda's view, the referee had some help, and the referee was effective at certain key whistles.
However, the Lakers still won the game with a 4-point advantage and won the tiebreaker, breaking the Celtics' myth of being undefeated in tiebreakers in the Finals.
At the end of the game, Kobe ran like crazy at Staples with the ball, then rushed to the technical stage and ripped off his clothes and roared at the fans.
He was truly crowned the King of Los Angeles. He completed his great revenge against the Celtics, achieved his ultimate wish, and his life was complete.
Paul George couldn't control his emotions and shouted loudly in the VIP box. He didn't want to hide his identity as a Lakers and Kobe fan.
Even if it causes resentment from the Clippers management.
Min Congda looked at his excited and selfless look, and suddenly felt envious of him.
"It's really a good thing for young people to be focused on winning. Victory is something that makes everyone happy."
"But I, Min Congda, can only seek defeat alone. It's really lonely. If you follow me from now on, you will have to suffer the pain of losing."
