Min Congda sorted out his thoughts. Although his intelligence was below average, his basketball IQ was indeed high.
Maybe I made the wrong choice when I clicked on my birth talent. I chose basketball IQ instead, but it didn't work at all.
He usually doesn't pay much attention to the Clippers' team building, but now he has to pay close attention to the Cavaliers' lineup.
Taking a pen and paper, James asked Min Congda to write down the names of the players on the Cavaliers' current lineup.
James looked at Min Congda's handwriting and said, "Why are your handwriting so ugly?"
Min Congda said: "Is your face ugly? As long as you can understand it, why do the letters look so beautiful!"
James asked for Min Congda, and he had an inexplicable respect for Min Congda in his heart, so it didn't matter what he said.
After listing everyone, Min Congda said: "The Cavaliers' number one problem, and the number one reason why you failed in the playoffs for two consecutive years, is that the height of your backcourt is too low. You don't even have a height of 195. Can’t you find any of the above guards? Basketball is a game of giants after all. There are always dwarfs in the backcourt. Do you think you can meet Snow White? Cross out all guards under 6 feet 4!"
So, James took a pen and crossed out players like West, Gibson, and Mo Williams.
Min Congda continued: "Your second biggest problem is that the inside line is either too heavy or too small or not strong enough. O'Neal is so old, what is the use? Look at the results after the Suns gave up O'Neal? Varejao, The Big Got it!"
James nodded repeatedly. Although the Cavaliers held James in their hands, they did not obey his words.
Reluctance to trade Stoudemire for Hickson is indeed a big failure.
"Third, the Cavaliers lack talent other than you. You need a second solid ball-handling point who can become a playmaker in the playoffs. Of course, this player should preferably be a defender and have the ability to attack difficulties on his own. So , Stoudemire is not necessarily suitable for you and the Cavaliers, because you occupy a lot of ball rights and cannot open up the space for shooting. The distribution of space and ball rights on the court will be unsatisfactory. If a low-post insider cooperates with you, it will probably be abolished. Lose."
Min Congda's words were extremely harsh, and James felt very uncomfortable. Why did I occupy too much of the ball, and why couldn't I shoot?
James heard too few direct criticisms like this.
It's true that it wasn't in the media, but no one around me said it so straightforwardly.
People around him support him and look down on him, but rarely tell the truth.
In fact, it is normal. If you are next to a billionaire, you can get millions or even tens of millions of benefits by running errands and doing things. However, you will not tell the truth and say false and nice things to support him.
Min Congda didn't want to help him, and continued: "After talking about these three basic problems, let's talk about how to solve them. First of all, let me tell you that if you want to win the championship next season, it is basically not impossible. The Cavaliers' salary situation and space situation determine , you need time. If you don’t have the patience and really want to win the championship, I advise you to go to the CBA."
James also put aside his dignity and humbly asked for advice, saying, "Can't I go to the Heat?"
"You can win the championship if you go to the Heat? Although they are all the Big Three, your adaptability is much worse than that of the Celtics. Wade and you can barely make 1+1=2, but with the addition of Wave What, 1+1+1 will definitely not be greater than or equal to 3, but less than 3. The insider who can match you must be a flexible type who takes up less ball rights and has strong defensive coverage. Bosh is flexible, and the other two are both Nonstick."
James scratched his head and said, "Then Kevin Garnett?"
"Yes, why don't you go to the Green Army and see if they want you?"
"I'll never go to Boston."
Min Congda thought to himself, I would only be happy if you said you would never go to Los Angeles.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. There is only one way to get talented players, and that's through the draft. So, don't try your best to win the MVP in the regular season. It's useless, you know? Look at the Celtics, they are pretending to be dead in the regular season. How good are you pretending to be? The record should not be too good, and you can get a rookie with a pick of more than ten. Then, use all the resources the team currently has to trade, and give priority to trading first-round picks."
James said: "However, having draft picks may not necessarily lead to outstanding rookies, and I have to wait for them to grow."
As expected, this guy is obsessed with certainty and doesn't want to take any risks.
"Then go ahead and go to the CBA. The championship will be yours to hold on to."
"Okay, okay, go on."
"Let me tell you, draft picks sometimes depend on both luck and the league's willingness to give them. Do you think it's just a coincidence that some teams get the No. 1 pick? Sometimes the league wants to favor you, and you have to give the league a chance! This time you make the "Decision", Stern will definitely oppose it with all his strength, if I'm not wrong."
James nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, the "Decision" program has been brewing for several months. David Stern tried his best to oppose it, but..."
Min Congda said: "Since you want to win the championship, why go against Stern? Don't say you want to control yourself. No one can truly control themselves. That is just a kind of false arrogance."
James wondered: "Then why do you always have trouble with Stern and always scold him?"
Min Congda was at a loss for words for a moment and said: "Well... I have my own difficulties. Okay, the next thing is the short problem of the back line. These crossed-out people should all be traded and cut. Xiao Mo has certain trade value. Then ...This Danny Green, look at him, the only defender with adequate height on the team is still not very useful."
"This player has no talent."
"Then develop it carefully! You have problems in selecting and training people. How can there be so many ready-made ones? Do you think the Cavaliers are the Lakers?"
James nodded and said: "You are right, Curry has been trained very well by you."
This has touched Min Congda’s sore spot. I, RNM, you think you are praising me, but you are actually scolding me.
If he doesn’t care about James, he doesn’t understand. Min Congda continued: “Then there is the problem of a big man protecting the basket inside. You need a young and energetic player. I think the Suns’ Robin Lopez is good. They don’t want JJ -Hixson, just give it."
"Can I give it?"
"Can you ask your general manager to ask!"
Min Congda was also a little angry. Once James took off the king's new clothes he had constructed, he was actually a hesitant little boy.
Of course, the reason why Min Congda spent so much money to help this lost lamb was not only because of his personal grudge with Riley, but also because of an idea that popped up in his mind.
"Hedge."
