After eating with Wallace and getting Jeff Ball's contact information, Min Congda returned to the hotel.
The bankruptcy of the Hornets shocked him greatly and made him realize that there were still many imperfections in his work.
At the same time, it also allowed Min Congda to cheer up again. It turns out that the team's bankruptcy is not an unreachable thing. There are examples in front of him.
Min Chongda realized that if Chris Paul left the Hornets, there might be an opportunity for him.
Because Paul has always restrained the Clippers and Curry, if he can go to a strong Western Conference team, he might be able to firmly suppress the Clippers.
"Although the Clippers are currently hovering on the edge of the playoffs, which is very detrimental to me, they are only on the edge of the playoffs and have not reached the level of competing for the championship. As long as there are tigers in the mountains, this monkey cannot be king. As long as there are tigers in the mountains, this monkey cannot be king. The Clippers are not the king, and if they stay like this for a few years, they might become bankrupt like the Hornets!"
The bankruptcy of the Hornets undoubtedly gave Min Congda a great inspiration.
Looking back on the Hornets' experience in the past few years, Paul was selected in 2005 and began to rise.
The combination of Paul + David West + Tyson Chandler reached second place in the Western Conference in 2008.
Paul almost won the MVP, but unfortunately lost to the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.
After that, the Hornets began to gradually decline, with poor performance and poor attendance, until they are now bankrupt.
Imagine if the Hornets had passed the Spurs in 2008 and reached the Western Conference Finals.
With the Hornets' team configuration at the time, it was not impossible to compete with the Lakers.
Imagine again, if the Grizzlies hadn't assisted the Lakers in 2008 and given it to the Lakers Pau Gasol.
The Lakers will not rise again, then the MVP in 2008 will be Paul, and the Hornets will be No. 1 in the Western Conference.
If the Hornets are first in the Western Conference, they won't play the Spurs in the semifinals. They may only play the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.
Faced with the temptation of the finals, the Hornets may go all out to reach the finals. After all, their strength and the Spurs are just a hair's breadth away. Losing in the semifinals is obviously a matter of luck and experience.
Once the Hornets reach the finals, even if they can't beat the Celtics, it will definitely be a huge improvement for the team.
In terms of market value, box office, and player value, the boss will definitely increase investment and the team's box office will increase.
Paul, who won the MVP, will definitely not leave the Hornets, and the team will definitely not go bankrupt.
"So, what is the key? The key is the deal in which the Grizzlies assisted the Lakers Gasol! If there was no deal in which the Lakers assisted Gasol, the current Hornets would not go bankrupt! Because they created a team in the West Only a tiger makes other teams have no hope of rising, and some teams break up in the blink of an eye. The team's lineup is broken up, and the box office is not good, and the team will naturally not be good!"
After this logical analysis, Min Congda felt that he had discovered the password for bankruptcy!
Looking back on the history of the Western Conference in the past 10 years, it is actually the history of the Lakers-horse competition. How many teams have the two teams broken up together?
The Kings in 2002, the Timberwolves in 2004, the SuperSonics in 2005, the Suns in 2006 and 2007, the Hornets in 2008, and the Nuggets in 2009.
These teams were all arrogant for a while, but because they were unable to make breakthroughs in the playoffs, they eventually declined rapidly and exited the stage of competition.
The Kings and Timberwolves have not slowed down until now. The core has retreated and the trade has been carried out. They can't even make it to the playoffs, let alone compete for hegemony.
The SuperSonics, simply lost the team.
The sun has been able to hold on for a long time, but this year it finally couldn't hold on any longer, so Stoudemire went to the big city of New York.
The same goes for the Nuggets, who were broken up. Anthony made a trade in February this year and went to New York to join Stoudemire.
Now the Hornets are following in the footsteps of these teams, and Paul also wants to go to big cities and big teams.
Think about it, if any of these teams could reach the finals and win a championship, would they still be where they are today, becoming the nourishment for big city teams?
If the Kings win the championship in 2002, even if they decline later, Weber and others will stay, and the team will enter a state of reconstruction and will not completely overthrow it and start over.
If the Timberwolves can reach the Finals in 2004, Garnett will definitely stay, allowing the team to continue to strengthen and compete for the championship, and attract more famous veterans to embrace them.
If the Sonics go further, will Seattle let them go to Oklahoma City?
Among the many strong teams in the Western Conference, the only team that has not been broken up by the Lakers is the Mavericks.
On the one hand, because their core Nowitzki is a European, low-key and loyal, he just wants to stay in Dallas.
If it were a local player, given the performance of the Mavericks in the past two years, he would have left long ago.
Another important reason is that the Mavericks have reached the finals, and in 2006 they defeated the peak Spurs.
They have the experience of actually reaching the highest stage, so no matter how miserable the playoffs are in recent years, the important thing is that Nowitzki is still there, and the Mavericks' tone has not faded.
"If the Mavericks didn't reach the Finals in 2006 and were hacked again in 2007, they would probably be broken up by now, right? Even if Nowitzki didn't want to leave, Cuban would have traded Nowitzki away. You haven't proven it. Live your life.”
Min Congda carefully sorted out the history of the Western Conference in the past ten years and realized that if he wanted to break up the rising small and medium-sized teams like the Clippers, he must raise tigers!
The Spurs, a tiger, have returned to first place in the Western Conference after two years of depression.
The Lakers have won two consecutive championships, and their prestige is still there, still weighing on all the teams in the Western Conference.
However, both teams have a problem, that is, the core lineup is aging, and it is estimated that they will not be able to perform for a few years.
If the Spurs or Lakers can get Paul, extending his life for three to five years will not be a problem at all!
"We were killed by the Lakers last season. If we make it to the playoffs this season, we will probably be killed by the Spurs again. Next season, if Paul goes to a strong team, the Lakers or Spurs, we will be killed again! By then, Library Aren’t the people here impatient and wanting to leave?”
"If I remember correctly, Chris Paul reached his peak in his third season, was beaten to death by the Spurs, and then declined all the way and wanted to leave, right? Haha, it turns out that the Hornets had already written the script for me, and I followed it. Just copy your homework!"
"The only question now is, where will Paul go in the summer? Pay close attention. If anything happens then, I will definitely give him a push!"
Min Congda made up his mind to raise a tiger in the west this summer.
This tiger will become a stumbling block in the Clippers' future, blocking the Clippers until it goes bankrupt.
After figuring out a new idea, Min Congda's depressed mood for more than a month finally cleared up and he regained his confidence!
He looked in the mirror, looking at the dark circles under his eyes and his slightly thin face, and he knew he had to cheer up.
"Starting today, stop drinking!"
