After Min Congda resigned as coach, his life returned to a relaxed and free state.
Recently, he also changed one of his living habits-not going to the training center for meals.
Some time ago, he was tired of going to the training center every day as a head coach and didn't want to go.
Because people's mentality has changed. At first, they went to eat for free. They could eat whenever they wanted, but forget about it if they didn't want to.
Later, I became a coach and became a job. I had to go there every day, and the food in the cafeteria was no longer delicious.
In the early days, I went to buy food mainly because I was poor and had no money, so I had to borrow money from team employees.
Now, through hard work and reasonable investment, I no longer have to worry about food.
Apple's stock price experienced a sharp rise at the end of 2011, from more than 300 to more than 400 per share, and Min Congda's assets jumped again.
With the successful release of iPhone 4S in October 2011, the wave of mobile phone revolution triggered by Apple mobile phones continues.
Nokia, the former mobile phone empire, collapsed in an instant, everyone is using Apple mobile phones, and the new economic wave triggered by the mobile Internet is making waves.
As someone who has experienced it, Min Congda knows how turbulent this wave is, so he will choose an opportunity to sell some stocks and use some cash to invest in emerging technology industries.
It's just that he hasn't found a suitable target yet, and he doesn't have enough money in hand. He can only make some angel investments and must find projects in the right industry.
He is not like those big funds who scatter a lot of seeds and make a lot of money after just one or two trees survive. His opportunities are very small and must be firmly grasped.
This is the limitation of the working class. Your size is too small and your error tolerance is too low. Even if you are very visionary, it will be difficult to obtain excess profits because there is no chance of making mistakes and the principal is too low.
As for the team's record, with Tyronn Lue as a rookie coach here, does he still need to worry?
After the Timberwolves game, the assistant coaching staff and executives had already criticized Tyronn Lue.
He believes that Tyronn Lue lacks the prestige of a coach. If Min Congda had not suppressed and fully supported Tyronn Lue, Tyronn Lue would not have lasted three days.
And this is exactly the effect that Min Congda wants. If Tyronn Lue, like Lao Deng and Cole, gets the support of the people below, how can he still fail?
Obviously, Tyronn Lue cannot be loved by the coaching staff and players, and he must be uneasy in his coaching position and become a factor of instability.
Of course, the Clippers already have a good foundation, and if they mess up, they probably won't be much different.
Anyway, they are hovering on the edge of the playoffs, and the team's income is so-so, neither up nor down.
When Min Congda raises the team's expenses and liabilities in one breath, the countdown to bankruptcy of the team will begin.
After getting up in the morning, Min Congda looked at the stocks, listened to the news, and talked on the phone with several friends from Internet companies.
Then I listened to Rosser and Olshey briefly reporting on their work, and the morning passed like this.
At noon, I cook some side dishes and have a can of cold beer. This little day is much more comfortable than being a coach.
While cooking, Min Congda suddenly thought that today is the day that the Chinese young man came to Los Angeles.
There was a flight at 5:30 in the morning, and Ada was arranged to pick her up. She was responsible for handling all the matters. I don’t know what happened.
So Min Congda called Ada and asked about the high school student named Lu Yuan.
After Ada answered the phone, she reported to Min Congda that Lu Yuan would stay at Mrs. Williams's house next door to hers.
In the morning, she took Lu Yuan to visit the Clippers training center and receive NBA-level trial training here.
"Really? How was the trial result?"
Ada hesitated and hesitated in her words.
"Just say what you want and do whatever you want. Isn't the situation bad?"
"Mr. Smart, I don't know what to say. This kid named Lu Yuan doesn't know how to play basketball."
"What? Not very good at playing basketball?" 33
"That's right, he said that he only learned basketball for a month and didn't know many things. He didn't even recognize Kobe."
"You only studied for a month? You don't even know Kobe? This...this is a good thing!"
"Is this...ah? What do you mean, Mr. Smart? A good thing?"
"Yes, isn't this a good thing? This shows that this child is a piece of uncut jade. Do you understand jade? As the Chinese say, it is a piece of white paper that can be painted on as you wish. It is very malleable! "
"but……"
Min Congda always had some weird theories that Ada couldn't understand.
In the United States, if a 15-year-old high school student has not yet started and received high-level basketball training, he will basically say goodbye to professional players.
In history, there are extraordinary talents like Hakeem Olajuwon, who started playing basketball at the age of 15 and then came to the United States to become a generational superstar.
But Olajuwon is a special case, and although Olajuwon only learned basketball at the age of 15, he has been exposed to other sports before.
This shows that his athletic talent was discovered very early, but he just chose the wrong track and changed to a suitable track at the age of 15.
Ada learned from Lu Yuan that he had never been trained in other sports, let alone basketball.
Because his mother did not allow him to participate in sports activities and only asked him to study hard.
It was a complete accident that he was able to participate in the Clippers' training camp. Somehow, he was spotted by Fan Chen and sent to the United States.
"No need to say no, Ada. During this period, you can take good care of my little fellow and let him have a good time in the United States. Uh... I don't have anything to worry about here. Taking good care of Lu Yuan is your number one task."
"I understand, Mr. Smart. By the way, won't you come to the training center for lunch?"
"No, I'll cook at home. Let Lu Yuan eat and drink well. You've been working hard recently."
After giving the instructions, Min Congda felt very satisfied.
"You can't even play basketball? Hey, this Fan Chen is doing what I want! I was worried about sending a little basketball genius who started learning to play basketball when he was young. It turned out that he was a monk halfway. In the sport of basketball, geniuses are all from Mavericks I only started playing basketball in high school, and you are still playing like shit. Do you think you are Olajuwon?"
Min Congda didn't take Lu Yuan to heart at all, thinking that this kid would play in Los Angeles for a few weeks and go back to school to prepare for the college entrance examination.
Wait until one or a few more come next year, just spend money to entertain them, eat and drink, pretend to practice, and then send them back home.
If the Clippers continue to bleed money, the money will be spent and there will be no output at all.
The "Three Treasures Plan" will be a complete success!
Min Congda was in a good mood and drank an extra can of beer and ate eight skewers of chicken at noon.
In the afternoon, Min Chongda arrived at Staples Center. The game between the Clippers and Raptors was held at 3:30 p.m.
After two days of adjustments, the Clippers came out of the shadow of their previous loss to the Timberwolves.
Facing the not-so-powerful Raptors, the Clippers showed a crushing performance.
They took the lead from the first quarter and then dominated the Raptors all the way.
The Raptors were not given many chances during the game, and finally defeated their opponent 103:98 with a 5-point advantage.
Tyronn Lue got his first win as Clippers coach.
However, Min Congda didn't care about this. He could see that this game was purely a failure of the Raptors.
Tyronn Lue has nothing special about the team's lineup.
The change from the previous game is that Curry, Harden and others are in a more stable state.
And in the last quarter, with an 11-point lead, the Raptors almost caught up with a counterattack, and the Clippers fans broke out in a cold sweat.
Min Congda is very satisfied with this. This kind of coach who can effectively reduce the performance of players and suppress the potential of the lineup is really a dream.
Some people died, but not completely...
