The plane from Los Angeles to San Antonio took off in the morning, which was a challenge for Min Congda.
After returning to Los Angeles from a road trip in March, he hasn't gotten up early in the morning for more than a month.
Anyway, he doesn't have to go to the headquarters to work in the morning. He can sleep in until noon and go to the training center for lunch.
In the afternoon, I will have a meeting at the headquarters to make some decisions, and then I will be free to do whatever I want.
If there is a game in the evening, go to the Staples Center to watch the game. Without the game, the colorful nightlife in Los Angeles will never be the same.
Min Congda came to the airport with hazy eyes and yawned, and boarded the flight with the players and staff.
Also accompanying the team this time was the film crew of the "Basketball and Gay" documentary.
After Jordan Peele and Michael Key boarded the plane, they took out their cameras and took a few shots.
The footage has been edited to appear in the Clippers' second documentary of the season.
After taking the shot, Pierre and Key returned to their seats. Pierre looked at the chaotic white outside the window, his mind as clueless as the clouds outside.
With the end of the regular season and entering the playoffs, it means that the season is coming to an end.
Hundreds of hours of material have been accumulated throughout the season, and it is not easy to edit and splice them into a documentary based on one theme.
Compared with the first part, "Set Sail" in the 2009-2010 season, he was very troubled by how to formulate the theme of the second part.
It's like a movie. The protagonist has nothing at the beginning, and slowly improves, upgrading and fighting monsters. It's very easy to write.
It is easier to write to the end, upgrade to the top, defeat the final big boss, and achieve success.
Only the growth process in the middle is the most difficult to describe.
If he was asked to make it up by himself, of course he would have a routine.
But the Clippers are a real team and must be based on actual conditions and cannot be made up.
The Clippers have many storylines this season.
There was a good opening game, but then it took a sharp turn and lost consecutive games.
Curry was injured at a critical moment, Smart advocated surgical treatment, and the Clippers lost their general.
Once falling into the lottery in the mid-term, the team boldly carried out tactical reforms and introduced Steve Kerr.
The whole team took on a new look, winning consecutive games on the road and re-entering the playoff zone.
It should be said that this story line is more twists and turns than last season.
But the question is when it comes to the ending stage, how to end it? How is it different from last season?
The Clippers went through a series of ups and downs and returned with all their members. As a result, the regular season record was not as good as last season.
The ranking was still eighth, and then was eliminated by the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference in the first round, just like last season...
After watching it, the audience will think, what did I watch? There was so much preparation ahead, but no progress at all in the end?
Although documentaries are not movies and need to faithfully record the truth, audiences do not like to watch boring facts.
Unless the Clippers can make a breakthrough in the playoffs this season and reach the second round.
In that case, there is no need to think about the theme of the documentary, which is "Black Eight".
It's perfect. There is no script more perfect than this, but can it really be achieved?
Jordan Peele had a question mark in his mind. He used a camera to record his doubtful mood, and maybe it could be edited into a documentary.
Sitting behind the two is media director Rachel Leigh, who rarely plays away games with the team.
The reason why he wanted to follow this time was because of the documentary, which required him to contact resources in San Antonio and make suggestions at the same time.
He moved his fat body, leaned closer, and asked: "How about Pierre, do you have any ideas on the theme?"
Pierre said: "If it can be hacked, this documentary will be perfect, and it will definitely be better than the first one, but... it is rare. Hacking is not that easy, it is a small probability event."
Racheli said: "It is indeed a small probability event that is not that easy, but you have to believe in miracles."
Michael Key looked towards the seat in front of him and noticed that Min Congda had fallen into a deep sleep.
As soon as he got on the plane, he took a blanket to cover himself and curled up on the large seat to catch up on his sleep.
Michael Key approached Richele and Pierre and said softly: "But I think black eight may not be that difficult. Otherwise, why would Mr. Smart insist that the team fall to eighth place? Even at the expense of losing? I heard that in the end He got angry in the dressing room during a game just to lose and drop to eighth place, which is very rare."
Pierre also said softly: "Yes, everyone has heard. It is said that Mr. Smart was not normal in the last month of the season."
Rob Richele also looked forward and whispered: "It's really abnormal. I bought out Hinrich's contract and let him go to the Cleveland Cavaliers."
Because Hinrich didn't adapt to Cole's passing system, the veteran basically didn't get much playing time in the second half of the season.
After the trade deadline, the Clippers chose to buy out Hinrich, and then the Cavaliers signed Hinrich.
Pierre said: "Why is this abnormal? Isn't this normal? A veteran like Hinrich can't play on the team, so let him go to the Cavaliers so he can participate in the playoffs."
Richley said: "There is no problem in buying out, but just go to the Cavaliers... In the summer, the Cavaliers also signed Marcus Camby. The Clippers will soon become Cleveland's arsenal. It is said that this and Smart It’s related to my husband’s manipulation behind the scenes, but no one knows why he did this.”
Michael Kidd: "I know a little bit of news. When the Cavaliers came to Cleveland for an away game in March, a reporter from Fox TV took photos of a secret meeting between him and Mr. Smart. But it was quickly dropped by public relations and was not published on the Internet. Give way."
Pierre said: "Really? Isn't it even on NBA-Batman?"
"No, I watched it. NBA-Batman actually said that Smart Min lost his temper in the locker room in the last game and lost the trust of the players. The Clippers may be disbanded."
"This is pure nonsense. The players' hearts are still with Mr. Smart, but everyone can't quite understand why they have to beat the Spurs? Are the Spurs so easy to bully? I've never heard of a third The best one out of eight."
The three of them shook their heads, unable to guess what Min Congda was thinking.
"I know why Mr. Smart was furious."
Suddenly someone jumped out and joined the three of them in whispering.
The three of them were startled and almost screamed when they saw it was Marc Gasol.
This guy has a very regular daily life, goes to bed early and gets up early, and is not sleepy at all on the plane.
Mark is not only the team's passing transfer station and tactical center on the field, but also the gossip center off the field.
Most of the rumors related to Min Congda were leaked out through Marc Gasol's exaggeration.
"Why? Why did Mr. Smart get so angry?" Peele was curious, maybe it could be captured in the documentary.
Marc Gasol said mysteriously: "Do you know Mr. Smart's life experience? He must have suffered a lot of trauma in his childhood and suffered from intermittent mania. However, he received good treatment and the symptoms were hidden. . But during the game that day, in the locker room, there were some special circumstances and opportunities that induced his mania, so..."
"Oh, how's the weather in San Antonio, Michael?"
"It's not bad, the temperature is very comfortable, and it's sunny and not raining."
"This plane flies so smoothly. The sun is so beautiful and there are clouds everywhere."
"It's so beautiful. This cloud. Take some shots of the clouds. Maybe you can use them..."
"Hey, what I said is true. I have read psychology-related books...I...believe me!"
