After ending their four-game losing streak, the Clippers ushered in two consecutive victories.
This brought back some bad memories for Min Congda.
During the Clippers' road trip last season, Min Congda was worried about a losing streak.
As a result, those garbage boy teams allowed the Clippers to win!
This two-game winning streak made Min Congda start to worry. Could yesterday happen again?
Moreover, the three newcomers Paul George, James Harden, and Bledsoe are impressive.
George and Harden's dunks, and Bledsoe's offensive end making up for Curry's absence, are the basis for the team to win the game.
Judging from the post-game data, Bledsoe scored 17 points, sent 6 assists, and had 2 steals. He was the best player.
Although Harden and George had dunks, their overall performance was still not as good as Bledsoe's sudden rise.
Harden, in particular, made two consecutive mistakes in the fourth quarter, which almost made Min Congda laugh.
The good news for Min Congda is that they will play the Hornets in the next game.
Min Congda's beloved Grandpa St. Paul is coming to save him from the fire and water.
After reaching a peak in 2008, the Hornets declined for two consecutive years.
Tyson Chandler, the team's big center, left for the Mavericks this season.
As a substitute, the Hornets added Okafor inside, who is also an excellent frame-protecting center.
As long as Chris Paul is around, the Hornets will still remain highly competitive in the Western Conference.
Moreover, the Hornets have been very restrained against the Clippers. The Clippers did not win a game against the Hornets last season.
Wasp and Paul are Min Congda's favorites, and they are Min Congda's money-giving boys.
The team left Salt Lake City and arrived in New Orleans, where the game was played in prime time in the evening.
However, the attendance at New Orleans' home games is really not that good and sparse.
After Hurricane Katrina hit, the local economy never recovered to its pre-disaster state.
Not only did it lead to the displacement of the Hornets, but it also made the ball market here not very good.
Tonight, David Stern arrived in person to watch the game between the Hornets and Clippers.
Min Congda was "lucky" to sit down with Stern again and watch tonight's showdown together.
Before the game started, Stern said to Min Congda: "Smart, can you stop writing letters of complaint to the league?"
Min Congda said: "Wherever there is injustice, there are voices of resistance."
Stern said: "That whistle was good for the Clippers."
"What I care about is fairness and justice. What I want is not a bias, even if it's biased toward the Clippers!"
In the first game between the Clippers and Trail Blazers, the foul against Ade at the last minute was not called.
Min Congda, as one of the beneficiaries, criticized the league's penalty, causing the league to apologize in person, which was very embarrassing.
Afterwards, the league did not fine Min Congda any money. Unexpectedly, Min Congda refused to give up and sent another email to the office.
For all such emails, the league office must respond, which is very troublesome.
Bozia, the vice president in charge of refereeing, felt numb when he saw the email from Min Congda.
His emails are often lengthy and lengthy, but the key points are quite reasonable.
If you respond well, writing an email is exhausting.
If you don't reply well, just reply as read, and he will keep urging you to reply.
Therefore, Bozia now sets rules for the referees. Whoever provokes Smart to ask him to write an email again will write a reply and deal with Smart himself.
Therefore, in the following games, the referee's whistle was quite fair and impartial, and Min Congda did not have any seizures.
They didn't know anything else. The main reason why Min Congda didn't have an attack was because the Clippers lost.
If you let the Clippers have a four-game winning streak, no matter how good you brag, they will still be able to find faults with you.
Stern couldn't stand Bozia's constant complaints, so he took this opportunity to communicate with Min Congda in person.
He doesn't understand. The Kennedy Award for Best Citizen was given to you last season. Why are you dissatisfied?
Can I also give you the best general manager this season?
Min Congda also understands Stern's psychology, but he can't directly say, "Just fine you more". The system does not allow him to do this. This is insider trading.
Min Congda had no choice but to say: "I'm not trying to cause trouble David, I just want everything to be fair and just. You should treat me fairly and impartially, don't be partial, blow the whistle when it's time, fine when it's time...cough, cough, anyway, I'm not short of money. !”
The system gives a warning: [Fine hints are not allowed. 】
Stern sighed and said: "Since you are not short of money, how about you donate more to the Africa Fund? The Summer Foundation has done a good job."
Min Congda's hair stood up. It's okay if you don't fine me, but don't ask me to donate.
He hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I am an Asian after all, and it is not appropriate to always donate to Africans. There are so many African players in the league, they can donate. I will concentrate on supporting my Asian Youth Basketball Fund and giving to us in China People provide basketball funding.”
Stern still agrees with Min Chongda's establishment of this Asian Basketball Fund, which can play a very good role in promoting the NBA in Asia and developing talents.
"Your Asian Basketball Fund is doing well. If there is any need for help, NBA China officials will provide support."
"No, no, no, we have our own development plan, don't try to steal the results David."
Stern smiled and shook his head. This Smart still thinks I want to take your credit? Really thinking too much.
The two chatted incessantly. Although Stern was helpless towards Min Congda, he was sometimes very angry with him.
But Stern found that he admired this kid very much. Based on his more than 20 years of experience as a president, he concluded that Min Congda was definitely a figure like a dragon or a phoenix in the basketball world.
He may be able to lead the times in the future.
Because Stern saw great charisma in him.
In the world of basketball, technology, tactics, and techniques are all "little ways."
Superior personal charisma is the real "road" to influence the league's structure and future.
People like Jordan, Johnson, Kobe, Riley, and Jackson are all people with great charisma.
Min Congda's operation this summer impressed Stern deeply. It was he who persuaded James to stay with the Cavaliers.
Stern knew for a long time that James was going to do the "Decision" program on ESPN. He strongly opposed it and didn't want James to join the Heat.
Because this is a blow to the Cleveland market and the balanced ecology of the league. Checks and balances are what Stern has been doing his whole life.
Since taking office in 1984, he has started to crack down on the Celtics, who have influence throughout the league, to prevent the Celtics from becoming dominant.
To continuously expand the league, add new teams, and support small clubs in small cities, Stern understands the principle of balanced development.
It's just that the expansion of the voice of the stars has made these young people increasingly uncontrollable, and the traditional NBA culture is being destroyed.
The Clippers clearly have a chance to acquire James in the summer, which will cause the NBA market to tilt sharply toward California, which will create an imbalance.
Unexpectedly, Smart had the foresight to persuade James to stay in Cleveland, and he succeeded.
From then on, Stern took a new look at Min Congda. He felt that this man had a great potential. If he were not too young, Chinese, and had a weird temper, he would really want to train him to be his successor as CEO.
In comparison, Adam Silva is far from Min Congda in terms of personality charm.
"David, do you want some popcorn?"
"I won't eat...and please call me Mr. Stern. David is not just for you to call me random."
"Okay David, I got it, David."
