After struggling with the position of head coach, Min Congda felt that there was a slight deviation in his path to success.
Now that the coaching position is handed over to Tyronn Lue, a figure who reassures him, he can return his energy to investment and debt.
Compared with the "meager" income of US$2,000 for losing a game, the hundreds of millions in dividends that bankrupted the Clippers are much more attractive.
Some previous small investments, small troubles, and accidental successes, in Min Congda's view, are just small stumbling blocks on the road to success.
His "Afanggong Plan" that can truly destroy the Clippers has already begun.
From this point of view, it is quite important for the Clippers to maintain a good result.
First, increasing the market value will allow the Clippers to have better credit, leverage more funds, increase the debt ratio, and increase financial risks.
Secondly, the value of these players has doubled and they will receive maximum salaries one after another in the future. The team's luxury tax will definitely explode and they will become a cash flow devourer.
Combining the two, the Clippers' asset status is absolutely dangerous and will definitely be in jeopardy by then.
As long as the Clippers don't win the championship, even if they stay in the Western Conference Finals, winning a few more games will be harmless to Min Congda.
In the NBA, a team with locked salary space and exploding luxury taxes will fail if it fails to win a championship.
Like European football, clubs at different levels can have different goals and have many championships.
League championships, Champions League, Europa League, various domestic cups, intercontinental leagues, etc. There are many paths to success.
The NBA is different from the European Football League. The championship is the only glory. The winner takes all. Even the runner-up is known as the biggest loser.
The Detroit Pistons are a good example. From 2003 to 2008, they never missed the conference finals.
But they only won the championship in 2004. The 2005 Finals, and the 2006, 2007, and 2008 conference finals were all stepping stones. 33
Then during the financial crisis, the Pistons were on the verge of bankruptcy and were eventually sold after last season.
Imagine that if the Pistons could reach the finals and win even one championship in the three seasons from 2006 to 2008, the team would not decline so quickly.
Because if you win the championship, the team will have enough popularity and commercial value, so you don't have to worry about selling tickets, and you don't have to worry about institutions lending you money to extend your life.
If they can't win a championship, even if the Pistons' five giants dominate the league, they will just be someone else's wedding dress and become a backdrop.
Who wants to invest in a backdrop, you're not Tim Duncan.
Therefore, Min Congda has now firmly established his new idea of disposing of bad things.
Don’t play small when it comes to investment. If you want to play, go big and invest in infrastructure!
The team's record no longer pursues a large number of losses, that's pretty much it.
As long as we don't win the championship, everything will be easy. Anyway, it didn't do well to reach the Western Conference Finals last year.
Besides, look at Tyronn Lue's level in the first game, where can he win the championship?
Maybe he will still have to fight with Cole within the team, and there is no chance of winning the championship!
Therefore, Min Congda authorized Rosser at the meeting to take charge of the acquisition of the Great Western Forum Arena.
Preliminary contacts can begin with the owners of the Great Western Forum Arena.
"If there are any trends or changes, please report to me in time. This will be our current focus."
"By the way, Olshey, has Fan Chen contacted you? He told me before that he picked a young player with good talent and wanted to send him to Los Angeles to try. It should be a holiday in China now, so he wants to come It’s time to come.”
In addition to the "Afanggong Project", the gold-eating beast "Three Treasures Project" will steadily swallow up a lot of money every year.
If there is no improvement in three years, Min Congda may not be able to continue supporting this project.
Now I just want to say that I have found a seedling and asked him to come to Los Angeles for a walk. This will be used as a showcase of the results and an explanation to everyone.
Anyway, Min Congda doesn't believe that any particularly great young player can be selected. A defender in his early 180s will definitely not be Yao Ming.
Just some projects carried out by many units are a waste of money, but we still need to get some results to show off.
As for money? Of course it was wasted while working on the project.
After waiting for a long time, people will naturally forget about this project.
No one cares where the money goes.
Now this so-called genius is the result of a plan, and it will be brought to Los Angeles for display.
Olshey nodded and said: "Fan Chen contacted me and said that the child will arrive the day after tomorrow. Mr. Smart, how do you want to arrange it?"
Arriving the day after tomorrow? Min Congda thought for a while and said: "Let's make arrangements for food and accommodation first, and leave this to Ada. Since it happens to be the day after tomorrow, let him watch a game at Staples Center. Then arrange for him to have a trial training. Just evaluate him according to the NBA level. By the way, Racheli, you will do a report when the time comes. It’s simple, it can add a little heat to the team. Oh, and if you have any questions about itinerary and security, you can contact Sloan. Let him send someone to follow the kid. Now that he is here, let him have some fun."
Min Congda thought to himself that this little fellow was from his hometown after all, so he had to entertain him well.
To be honest, Min Congda was not particularly interested in this kid. It would be OK to give him a chance to come to the United States to play and have some special experiences.
As for playing in the NBA and basketball dreams, he will feel the gap between reality and dreams after he comes here.
After the matter was revealed, Min Congda asked: "Do you have anything else to report? If there is nothing else, today's meeting will end here."
Racheli said: "Mr. Smart! I have something to report to you."
"It's about the Twitter account NBA-Batman. Now I'm fully investigating the information behind this account. We already have some clues."
Racheli has come into conflict with the NBA-Batman account.
Because the black characteristics of NBA-Batman are becoming more and more obvious.
When Min Chongda was coaching, after every game, NBA-Batman would expose that "the management within the Clippers team was chaotic, the coaching staff gave random instructions, and the 15-man rotation was unpopular." "Winning depends purely on luck and the players' own performance." ""There is dissatisfaction within the coaching staff, and many people want to replace Smart"...
This series of remarks gave Richele a headache. As a media director, he chose to confront NBA-Batman on the Internet.
Retweeted NBA-Batman's tweet and then refuted the rumor, but the effect was not good.
Because of his retweets and responses, I felt like there was no silver in this place.
Now, like the NBA league office, he is eager to find the actual person behind the account.
He wants to find this person who always tweets to slander Mr. Smart and confront him offline!
After hearing Racheli's words, Min Congda coughed slightly and said, "Do you have any clues?"
Rachelle said: "The IP address of this account has appeared in China before, and has appeared many times. So we highly suspect that this account is controlled by Chinese people behind the scenes. This can also explain why this account always slanders the Clippers. , this person probably has a grudge against you, Mr. Smart! Mr. Smart, think about it carefully, have you offended anyone in China in the past?"
Min Congda said: "People like me have offended so many people that there are endless investigations. In short, you should follow up on this matter and don't worry about funding. If you want to go on a business trip to China, contact Fan Chen .”
Racheli nodded and got the response he wanted. Funding was very important.
As for who is behind the account, who cares, even if this person is sitting in front of him?
Some people died, but not completely...
