Min Congda gave Lu Yuan money, and Lu Yuan happily ran to buy popcorn.
Min Congda's gesture of giving money was very generous and not hidden at all. If the camera wants to capture you, just do it.
It's best if the league finds out and fines him hundreds of thousands more. Min Congda's income for a season will come again.
Now the loss salary can no longer meet Min Congda's income needs. What can he do with 2,000 yuan per game?
More importantly, it’s not easy for the Clippers to lose. Their coach has done the same thing. They’ve won six out of six games!
Who to reason with?
After a while, Lu Yuan came back with an oversized popcorn bucket.
He was about to hand it to Min Congda, but Min Congda waved his hands repeatedly and said, "You take it, you can't give it to me, I can't take it."
It's still not okay to grab a popcorn bucket, as that will get you kicked out, which is not worth the loss.
Let Lu Yuan hold it, eat some secretly, use it at critical moments, and wander around the edge of the rules. This is the most comfortable.
In this way, you won't be asked out of the arena, and maybe you can get a little fine, wouldn't it be nice?
"Then let me hold it for you. This popcorn is so delicious~" Lu Yuan smelled the milky popcorn and felt very appetizing.
"It tastes better than Chinese popcorn, right? It's baked with a lot of sugar! Staples' popcorn is the most unpalatable in the league. If not... forget it, eat some. It's been a while. Eat popcorn during the game. Eat some too, Lu Yuan."
Min Congda grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth, and instantly felt like watching an NBA game.
"Hey, Lu Yuan, your English is so bad, how can your parents trust you to come to the United States alone?" Min Congda and Lu Yuan started talking.
"My mother is very confident about me. I have been able to take care of myself since I was a child. Besides, I am from the United States, not Africa, and I am poor. No one will have any ideas about me." Lu Yuan was straightforward.
"Your mother is trusting you, where is your father?"
"My dad? I don't have a dad."
"Huh? You don't have a father?"
Min Congda was surprised when he heard Lu Yuan say that he had no father.
Does this kid also have the "no dad buff"?
Among NBA stars, this buff is quite strong.
Many superstars don't have fathers. Some have run away, some are dead, and some don't even know who they are.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan, a kid from China, also had this buff, which made Min Congda have to treat it with caution.
With this buff, maybe he will actually become a star in the future?
Min Congda was a little nervous, so he asked Lu Yuan again: "Hey, Lu Yuan, do you want to play in the NBA in the future?"
Lu Yuan chewed popcorn and said, "I think, I want to watch the NBA and watch the water cooler in the future. I don't have to play for a million a year. It's comfortable."
Min Congda almost laughed out loud, thinking that this is a promising guy!
My dream is to come to the NBA and guard the water dispenser. This is really a good job.
Min Congda smiled and said: "You have lofty ideals, but it is not easy to watch the water dispenser in the NBA. Players who can guard the water dispenser in the NBA are top-notch players in other leagues."
Lu Yuan nodded seriously and said, "I know, so I will train hard and learn to play basketball."
Looking at Lu Yuan's childish face, Min Congda thought to himself, who didn't have unrealistic dreams when they were young?
Let him come to the United States to experience it, which can be regarded as a valuable asset on his growth path.
In Min Congda's view, a young boy who has just started playing basketball and whose dream is to guard the water fountain will not become a superstar.
Relax, the Thunder's timeout is over and the game continues.
Brooks replaced Durant and Westbrook again. They must play these two early, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the game.
At the same time, let Gordon sit on the bench and continue to rest, and let Cook continue to play the starting shooting guard.
In this way, with the Gordon card in your hand, you will still have cards to play later.
The Clippers have also made adjustments. Once Westbrook comes on, Fisher will definitely have to go down and rest.
Curry reappeared, Gasol replaced Bonner inside, and Paul George replaced Randolph.
When Min Congda saw this substitution strategy, he thought: "This must be Cole who wants to change like this, and play one senior and four juniors again to attack the Thunder? I think he is not afraid of death."
Min Congda's guess was correct. Cole suggested that during this period, they could play one-on-one, one large and four small, to rush the Thunder's defense.
Tyronn Lue followed suit, letting Paul George and Leonard play at the same time, and temporarily replaced Harden with Ricky Davis.
In this way, the Clippers are a small lineup with strong forward defense and an offense that relies on the axis of Curry-Gasol.
It can only be said that in terms of lineup experimentation, Min Congda has laid a good foundation for the Clippers since the 2009-10 season.
Facing the Clippers' versatile lineup, the Thunder insisted on not letting up on Qingshan and resolutely focused on Durant and Westbrook.
The Clippers obviously don't have a good way to defend Westbrook, and Curry's one-on-one defensive ability is not enough.
Facing these excellent point guards in the league, Curry will more or less have loopholes on the defensive end.
However, the presence of Leonard, George, and Ricky Davis gives the Clippers enough mobile forces to make up for Curry's defensive deficiencies.
Cole obviously has in-depth thinking and research on how to better utilize Curry's strengths and cover up his weaknesses.
Westbrook held the ball and headed to the basket. Curry was really unable to guard against Westbrook directly.
Curry doesn't resist hard, but puts it on the left and lets Westbrook burst from the left. This is not as powerful as the right.
On the wing, Leonard immediately came to help defend. His long arms and big hands interfered with Westbrook's layup.
Missed, Gasol got the backcourt rebound, and when he looked back, George had already rushed to the frontcourt.
A long pass to the frontcourt, George received the ball, broke through the basket, and succeeded in a left-hand layup!
In fact, Westbrook can pass this ball.
Because Leonard came to help defend, Cook on the wing was empty.
But Westbrook only had eyes for the basket, not the pass.
It was as if Coach Brooks asked him to attack, so he attacked without knowing how to pass the ball.
If you ask him to pass it, he will pass it without knowing he is about to attack.
It shows that this kid's brain is very rigid and one-dimensional, and he doesn't know how to adapt.
But Kevin Durant immediately hit an unreasonable three-pointer.
Facing George, Durant changed direction early and then retreated.
George almost fell, but just as he regained his balance, Durant hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc!
This undifferentiated single-eating ability is really powerful, and it will only get stronger in the playoffs.
"Talent, really talent."
Min Congda sighed with emotion, with Durant's height, wingspan, and appearance.
Being able to have such flexible skills and such a soft shooting touch is really a once-in-a-century experience in basketball history.
Min Congda ate a piece of popcorn and asked Lu Yuan: "What do you think of No. 35 playing basketball? Is he good at it?"
Lu Yuan replied: "It's okay, a bit ugly."
Min Congda sneered, young people only know whether it's good to watch playing ball.
"As long as you can score goals, it doesn't really matter whether you play well or not."
"No, I said he is ugly."
"You said this, yes, I agree."
Some people died, but not completely...
