In fact, Min Congda not only targets the Cavaliers, he also targets many teams.
As long as there is a threat to the Clippers and anyone who can become a stumbling block for the Clippers, Min Congda will try his best to help and train them.
Of course, if this team offends Min Congda, he won't be too polite.
Take Pat Riley's Heat, for example. In addition to scolding Lao Deng, Riley has always been rude to Min Congda.
Min Congda is not used to this old fox. In 2010, he interfered with James' big move to go to the Heat. In 2011, he guided the Cavaliers to snatch Battier.
And Popovich, of course, Min Congda never thought of hurting Popovich.
Signing Bonner, acquiring Leonard, and Min Congda were all unintentional. How did he know who Popovich and the Spurs wanted to use.
The team that Min Congda has been targeting is the Timberwolves. If he knew that Popovich wanted to pick Leonard, he would definitely consider not picking this guy.
It's almost Christmas in the blink of an eye, and all teams are still working intensively.
Managers are on the phone one after another, agents are flying back and forth from city to city, and they are extremely busy.
Although the Clippers no longer need to sign or trade, they still have a lot of work to do when the new season starts.
Ticket sales, venue rental, business cooperation, maintenance of training equipment, player training, etc.
Min Congda left all these tasks to Rosser, Olshey and others, and he took the boat and slipped away to the Pacific Ocean to fish.
All members of the Clippers team were taken aboard by Min Congda and went to sea together.
Min Congda found that taking the players to nightclub adventures was not a long-term solution. If there were too many such activities, everyone would get bored easily.
Coupled with various factors such as Fatty Lan quitting drinking, Ricky Davis changing his ways, and Harden's mother purging herself on the spot, nightclubs are no longer Min Congda's first choice.
Now his preferred activity is fishing, taking everyone out to sea together, or going to lakes and ponds outside Los Angeles to form groups for wild fishing.
Fishing is an addictive sport that consumes a lot of time and energy, and can even lead to addiction.
For example, this kid Paul George originally liked fishing, but now he has become addicted to it after being led by Min Congda.
It is said that this guy has been fishing all summer apart from training, and even spent more time fishing than training.
Min Congda stood on the height of the ship, looking at the calm and sunny sea, and sighed in his heart that the climate in the Los Angeles area is really good.
It's already winter in December, the temperature is still in the teens, and the highest temperature can reach 20 degrees, which is really suitable for vacation life.
"Damn, in such a big sea, there won't be a tsunami, hurricane or anything like that. Once this boat sinks, the Clippers will really be doomed. Everyone from the entire team is on the boat..."
Min Congda is so obsessed with the thought of the Clippers going bankrupt. If the ship really capsizes and everyone on board is dead, the NBA really needs to find someone to figure out the feng shui this year.
There has never been such a team-killing incident in history, but in order to prevent it from happening, the NBA has relevant regulations. Once a team takes transportation to wipe out the team, other teams must allow the team to choose their own players at will, and only five players can be protected. , and next season's No. 1 pick will also be given to this team.
"Smart!"
Min Congda was thinking wildly when someone called him from behind, startling him.
It was Baron Davis. He came up and wanted to talk to Min Congda.
"Balang, why don't you try two rods? You're not lucky today, can't you catch them?"
Davis did not participate in the young people's fishing activities, but got a glass of wine and lay on the deck to soak up the sun.
"I don't like fishing very much. It's not what I'm good at. Smart, what are your plans for the new season?"
"The new season...take it step by step. Many times, plans can't keep up with the changes."
"But I'm definitely not in your future plans, am I?"
Min Congda was stunned by Baron Davis' words.
"What do you mean, Balang? Do you think I'm going to lay you off? Give you up? You're kidding me. How well you performed in the playoffs."
Baron Davis does have a sense of rejuvenation this year, and he is getting better and better as he goes on.
In the first round of the playoffs, Baron Davis averaged 15 points per game.
Against the Thunder in the second round, Davis averaged 17 points and 7 assists per game.
In the Western Conference finals, although the Clippers lost the series, Baron Davis's performance was absolutely brilliant and sophisticated.
After all, he is the one who eliminated the 67-win Mavericks in 2007. He has a psychological advantage over Nowitzki and the Dallas people.
In the fourth game the Clippers won, Baron Davis scored 33 points in a single game, and he could shoot and pass.
Kidd was beaten so hard that Min Congda's heart trembled, and he was worried that the Clippers were going to the finals.
Fortunately, the Mavericks were really strong and won the fifth and sixth games without causing Min Congda to lose any more money.
Baron Davis's performance made Min Congda speechless.
But as the two were good friends, Min Congda couldn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, Baron Davis had an idea of his own.
Balang said: "Smart, I know that the future of the Clippers will not be me, but these young people. If I were 35 years old this year, I would want to stay with the Clippers until I retire and help them grow. to win the championship. But... I am only 32 years old, I still have a lot of gas in the tank, I can still be the core of the team and perform well."
When Min Congda heard that something was wrong, he said, "Did someone say something to you? Or did something happen during training?"
Balang said: "No, no, no, I don't mean to blame anyone. This is my own idea. I think my time in the Clippers will hinder the growth of young people. Really, I love Smart here, but I I also love basketball, and I think... I want to go to a team where I can be the core."
Davis said what he really thought. Last season's success gave him more confidence and he felt he could still play.
But the Clippers have Curry and Harden on the back line. These two are the future, and Baron Davis is destined to play less and less.
In recent team training, Steve Kerr said that he would further increase the roles of Curry and Harden in the offense.
Baron Davis may have to be pushed to the bench as a substitute, which will be difficult for Davis, who has just performed well in the playoffs.
If his condition declines and his strength fails, he can just play a supporting role. Of course he will not be happy to be marginalized even though he is about to usher in his second spring.
Stars are all people who have had great ambitions. Many times, ambitions are difficult to realize. Once they have the opportunity and strength, they will be old and helpless.
Nowitzki's victory in the finals is a perfect example. Baron Davis felt that he could still play.
Although I miss the Clippers and Los Angeles in my heart, I think that at the age of 32, the peak period of his career is not long.
If you can survive with your core style of play for another two years, you will definitely not be able to hold on later.
By then, with his relationship with Min Congda, it won't be too late to come back for retirement.
Let alone dreams and ambitions, consider it from an economic perspective.
Next season is Baron Davis' contract year.
If he can still put up good numbers as a core player, a max salary is worth it.
But in the Clippers, with Curry and Harden, it is impossible to give him the maximum salary according to common sense.
New people rise and old people leave. This is the iron law of NBA metabolism.
Baron Davis feels that it is very interesting that Min Congda can stay with him for two seasons to help him slowly recover.
Precisely because Min Congda was interesting enough, Baron Davis felt that he wanted to leave - sometimes it is difficult for you to understand this black man's logic.
Min Congda understood, he patted Balang on the shoulder and said: "If you really think so, I will respect you. Then give me some time, I will have a good discussion with each team in private, and let you go to a team with strength." How about being able to use your last remaining energy for the team?"
Baron Davis nodded gratefully. He wanted to return to the Clippers to repay Smart when his strength declines as he gets older.
This logic is still incomprehensible. Who wants you to repay the favor if you have already declined?
But Min Congda didn't care, the calculations in his heart began to crackle.
Some people died, but not completely...
