At the beginning of the third quarter, the Mavericks suddenly had an offensive shock wave that overwhelmed the Hornets.
Although the Hornets aim to enter the playoffs, their fighting spirit is not particularly strong due to many factors such as the team's bankruptcy.
Because everyone, including Paul, knew that this would be their last season playing together.
When the season ends and the summer begins, they will all go their separate ways and start a new life with other teams.
In the first half, the Hornets were united, hoping to reach the playoffs and leave one last memory for New Orleans fans.
But the Dallas Mavericks have a chance to compete with the Lakers for second place in the Western Conference.
Moreover, if the Mavericks reach the Finals, winning 57 games will increase their odds of having home-court advantage.
Therefore, the Mavericks did not give up in this game, but went all out to win.
In the first half, the two sides were still inextricable, but in the second half, the Mavericks suddenly showed strength.
An attack wave hit and knocked the hornet down directly.
The score difference immediately reached more than 10 points, and the situation became clear.
Because of the news brought by Ada, Min Congda's anger in the locker room ended.
He said to Cole, Dunleavy and others: "Is it okay now? Go to the game and finish this game as planned!"
No one else had anything to say, only Cole still said, "The game is not over yet. The Hornets may come back, and then we will not be able to enter the playoffs..."
Kim Hughes pulled Cole aside and said, "Okay, okay Steve, stop talking, that's it."
Coming out of the locker room, several coaches went to the field together. Cole complained to Kim Hughes and said: "How can this be done? Does the coaching staff still have the right to make decisions? Is the general manager interfering with the lineup and game plan like this? This …I’ve never had anything like this, risking not making the playoffs and having to be ranked eighth. Are the Spurs really that easy to beat? That’s the San Antonio Spurs, where I won For the championship, the group of people who won the championship are still there!"
Listening to Cole's complaint, Dunleavy said: "Why didn't you say it in the locker room just now? What's the use of complaining now? And we all agreed on the strategy of falling to eighth to beat the Spurs. The Spurs are indeed better than the Lakers. Hit some.”
Cole recalled the scene in the locker room just now. To be honest, he was not even afraid of Michael Jordan.
But just now, he really didn't dare to talk back to Min Congda. What was the reason?
Cole thought to himself, in the final analysis, it was because Cole felt that he could not figure out Min Congda.
When you cannot figure out a person, you will fear him and be unable to refute him.
Although Jordan is a god on the basketball court, he is someone who cannot be defeated with basketball.
But off the court he was a real person, full of flaws.
Jordan was by no means inscrutable, and his basketball IQ only remained in the small range of "he is very good at playing basketball."
In all other aspects, Jordan seems ordinary, even a little clumsy and naive.
When getting along with Jordan, Cole will not have any aura towards him. Cole can understand Jordan's temper.
But Min Congda couldn't do it. Cole couldn't figure out Min Congda and had no idea what was going on in this man's mind.
He thought Min Congda recruited him to build a great passing and cutting offensive system.
But when Kolzhen built the prototype, he seemed to have lost interest in the system.
He thought Min Congda asked him to be an assistant coach to train him to become the next Clippers head coach.
Even Mike Dunleavy had this intention and gave a lot of the team's power to Cole.
But Min Congda did not express this intention at all, and it could even be felt from his remarks that Min Congda wanted to be the coach himself.
Cole believed that Min Congda would rely on his experience as a general manager to learn and communicate to improve the Clippers' management.
As a result, Min Congda recruited Jeff Ball, the failed general manager of the Hornets, and made him vice president of operations.
He couldn't see through it. Cole really couldn't see through Min Congda. He was such a smart person, but looking at Min Congda seemed like he was looking at a fog.
Min Congda's anger in the locker room today also made him unable to understand. Why was he so angry?
If he couldn't figure out why Min Congda was so angry, he wouldn't be able to accurately refute or put out the fire.
If the fire cannot be put out and he is not ready to leave the Clippers, then the best choice is of course to shut up and say nothing.
Thinking of this, Cole couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and felt powerless in front of Smart.
A kind of inferior person is powerless when faced with a high-ranking and powerful person, and it is difficult for him to resist except to obey him.
At this time, Min Congda, a master of acting, had collected his emotions and returned to the audience.
He breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "Fortunately, fortunately I can hold my nerve. Damn, it's too dangerous. If I win this game and play the Lakers, wouldn't it be dangerous? All the previous efforts have been wasted! However, Xiao It would be great if the Bulls could lose to the Hornets, and they wouldn't even have to make the playoffs, everyone would be happy, perfect."
He asked Ada next to him, "Ada, how was the game between the Mavericks and the Hornets?"
Ada glanced at her phone and said, "The Mavericks... are already almost 20 points ahead of the Hornets."
Min Congda cursed secretly in his heart, thinking that the wasp was a useless thing.
Aren't the Clippers pretty good at beating us in normal times? Why did they play so badly in the last game that decided the playoff spots?
Or are the Mavericks too strong?
Impossible, the outside world has never been optimistic about the Mavericks.
For example, the Trail Blazers, ranked sixth, are going for the Mavericks.
The Grizzlies could have beaten the Mavericks in sixth place if they rushed forward.
But when Min Congda thought about the poor record of the Mavericks in the previous few seasons, he thought it was better to forget it.
When the time comes for Black Six to advance to the second round, the loss in the first round will be $12,000.
In the second round, if you win one or two games, it will be a heavy loss.
Counting this game, Min Congda's lost salary this season totaled US$72,000.
Working for him for $20,000 in one fell swoop was not a huge loss.
Fortunately, stock dividend returns are quite good.
Apple's stock price entered a stable period after reaching the 350 platform.
Min Congda took this opportunity to continue to increase his position in Apple stock.
He knows that as Apple's mobile phones continue to become popular, Apple's market value will continue to rise.
He doesn't have to keep an eye on the stock price. Apple has just released the iPhone 4 now.
Even the iPhone 4S hasn’t been released yet, so there’s a lot of room for growth, so buy as much as you can.
Today, Min Congda's stock assets have reached US$1.05 million, exceeding the one million mark.
He himself wants to call himself the American Stock God.
The only headache for Min Congda is paying taxes.
He is not a U.S. citizen and must pay at least 10% dividend tax when buying dividends from U.S. stocks.
This damn U.S. Department of Revenue is so fucking plucky, you're everywhere.
The only place they can't reach is the system's salary and dividend channels.
Therefore, losing wages, fines and bonuses, as well as market value dividends that Min Congda is obsessed with, are truly good channels for making profits.
The longer he lived in the United States, the more he was taxed, and the more Min Congda realized the value of this tax exemption.
No wonder he was so angry in the locker room and wanted to sabotage my plan? No one can do it!
