Min Congda was really at a loss and felt really embarrassed not to say anything.
He mentioned one point and said: "We must attack in all directions, invest more, and don't just focus on basketball. Be decisive! Spend money when you need to. What you spend now will be earned back in the future."
Larry Riley nodded and said: "You finally said some tips, but let me tell you Smart, your experience is not the experience of a general manager, but the experience of being a boss. I think you are not only a general manager. , maybe he’s more suitable to be a boss.”
"Don't put money on my face. I don't have the capital to be a boss."
"I heard that you are very close to Anschutz? And Ballmer of Microsoft? They are both giants. Maybe one day they can take you to a higher place."
Larry Riley knows that where he is now is the limit of his career.
In the future, he can only slide downwards, but cannot go any further. He can't even think about going up to the next level.
Min Chongda is different. Larry Riley's end is just his starting point.
In the small circle of the NBA, personal relationships are very important.
This is a place that never looks at academic qualifications, only qualifications, experience and talent.
Larry Riley is not so much exchanging experiences with Min Congda as it is to enhance feelings.
Of course, Min Congda has gained something. He summarized the warrior's sinful experience in the past:
You still have to toss when you should, and you still have to trade what can be traded.
Some transactions should be done as early as possible and cannot be delayed.
For example, Curry, if he had discovered earlier that he could succeed, he would have been sent away after the contract protection period had expired.
"But it seems that I can't give it away. After the contract protection period has passed, Curry has already played it out, and the system will not give it away."
Min Congda vaguely felt that he was gambling with the system, the banker.
You think he is helping you, but in fact he is imposing various restrictions.
These restrictions caused Min Congda to have to be decent and unable to do many dirty operations.
But if you show your face with dignity, won’t the team’s revenue increase?
Troubles were really troubles, and Min Congda's average-to-lower intelligence couldn't get around them.
However, he comforted himself by being patient and waiting patiently for an opportunity.
An opportunity to turn yourself around.
In the evening, there were more and more fans at Oracle Arena, and the game started on time at seven o'clock.
Compared with last season, the Warriors' lineup mainly includes adjustments to the frontcourt.
They selected forward Epe Udoh with the sixth overall pick in the draft.
They also signed David Lee in the free market to enhance the offensive power of the frontcourt.
However, as soon as Aipai Yudu signed with the Warriors, he underwent surgery for a torn ligament.
This means that he will miss the beginning of the season and will not be able to return until December this year.
This shot of Min Congda was so greedy that I slapped him directly on the thigh. Such a good player was injured at work before going to work. Why couldn't I choose him?
Min Congda chose Paul George because it was "close to home." His whole family came to the Staples Center to watch the game in the first game.
Min Congda specially gave them a package of tickets to reduce the team's revenue a little.
George scored 6 points and 3 rebounds in the first game, which was a very ordinary performance.
But no matter how ordinary he is, can he still play? Can he compare to someone who sits off the court and rests and cannot play?
Min Congda feels that if he is drafted again in the future, his injury history will also be included in the key inspection items.
Rookies with rich injury histories and serious injuries should be closely observed.
The first half of the game between the two sides was uneventful. The season has just begun, and everyone is still in the lineup running and experimenting stage.
The Warriors have a new coach, also named Smart.
The two sides tied at 28:28 in the first quarter. After the start of the second quarter, substitutions were made and substitutes came on.
The Clippers rotated with 10 players, but the Warriors went even more ruthless, rotating with 11 players and putting everything they could use on the court.
After all, the preseason is just for fun. Only in the regular season can we see how the newcomers are doing.
Min Congda observed it and was pleasantly surprised to find that the performance of the Clippers newcomers was pretty good!
Milicic changed his previous traditional low-post playing style, basically not having the ball or attacking.
He just defends, grabs rebounds, and sets screens for his teammates.
Milicic is tall and wide, and is really good at setting up screens.
Bonner is similar. He plays very down-to-earth, doesn't steal the show, and completes his tasks on the court seriously.
He can play whatever the coach tells him to do, and it doesn't matter if he sits on the bench.
As a white veteran, Hinrich plays steadily and controls mistakes very well.
His average turnovers per game are kept below 3 all year round, and he makes even fewer mistakes as a substitute.
In comparison, Curry committed 3.3 turnovers in his rookie season.
Harden doesn't make many mistakes with the Thunder. After coming to the Clippers, his time holding the ball increased and he made 5 turnovers in the last game.
Starting from the second quarter, with the steady performance of the substitutes, the Clippers gradually took the lead.
At halftime, Curry used Milicic's screen to hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc. The Clippers led the Warriors by 9 points 66:57!
Seeing that the Warriors are about to become a point-delivering boy again, Rubio has passed an offseason and is still no match for Curry.
In the third quarter of the game, Curry sprained his ankle on a breakthrough.
The moment he felt pain in his ankle, Curry fell to the ground in pain, and a thought flashed through his mind: "It's over, it's the right foot again!"
This is the fifth time this year that Curry has sprained his ankle.
After spraining his ankle with the national team in August, he also suffered a minor sprain in the preseason.
Being stubborn, he thought there was no problem, so he continued to play.
In the last game, Curry did not perform at his best due to an ankle injury.
Today is only the second game. Curry scored 12 points in the first half.
Facing the iron boy Rubio once again showed off his superb shooting skills.
As a result, not long after the start of the third quarter, the ankle was sprained again.
The Clippers immediately called a timeout and the team doctor came on stage to check on Curry's injury.
Min Congda suddenly jumped up from his seat, startling Ada and Larry Riley beside him.
"Curry is injured!" Min Congda was a little excited.
When watching Curry jump off the court with the help of the team doctor.
Min Congda knew that this injury would not be that simple.
"Sure enough, the emperor pays off, and opportunities always come to those who are prepared!"
“The opportunity I missed before can’t be missed again!”
Min Congda said to Ada: "I'll go to the locker room to see Curry's situation. You continue to watch the game and report to me after it's over."
Then he said to Larry Riley: "Sorry, I'm sorry."
After that, he left the audience and followed Curry and the team doctor back to the locker room.
Seeing that Min Chongda was so concerned about Curry's injury, Larry Riley asked Ada: "Has he always been so concerned about the players?"
Ada said: "Yes, I care about Stephen especially and pay special attention to him."
Larry Riley nodded and thought to himself: "Love talents as much as life is an important trait for a general manager to succeed."
