Five minutes later, Min Congda proudly told Kobe his bank card account number and asked him to remember to pay him $50,000.
And Kobe had an expression of disbelief on his face. In the midfield shooting competition just now, he actually lost to Min Congda 7:8!
Out of 10 goals, Kobe scored 7. This hit rate is already quite high, but Min Congda was able to score 8. This was something he never expected.
"Kobe, $50,000 is just a drop in the bucket to you. You don't have to look so ugly, right? If you accept an advertisement or endorsement casually, isn't it just 500,000 or 5 million? Why should you feel sad about such a small amount of money? "
Kobe had a dark face and did not explain, but said: "Let's try another game, and the bet will be increased to 100,000 US dollars."
Min Congda shook his head and said, "I don't want to play anymore. Give me the ball. I want to go home and eat."
But Kobe refused to let Min Congda leave and asked him to continue playing with him and shoot from the middle circle. He didn't believe he couldn't win.
Min Congda thought to himself, let’s continue playing, okay, 100,000 US dollars, if you don’t make it, you won’t make it in vain.
When it comes to other basketball projects, Min Congda will definitely not be able to beat Kobe.
Shooting in the middle circle has a lot of luck involved.
Moreover, Min Congda has undergone special training, and his shooting level is really very high.
It showed from the first time he showed up at Clippers training camp in 2009.
He took the basketball, threw it casually, and the three-pointer went in.
At that time, Min Congda was still thinking that basketball is quite simple.
Isn't it just throwing the ball into the circle? What's so fun?
There are so many people, ping-ping-pong-pong around a ball, and they can still get so much money in a year.
I can fuck me too!
As a result, Min Congda was really good at being with him, and he was indeed a basketball player.
It's a pity that he is relatively short and has not been discovered and trained since he was a child.
By the time I realized that I was suitable for basketball, I had already passed the appropriate age.
Now it's time to make amends, focus on shooting, not confrontation, the accuracy is really quite good.
For more than three weeks, Min Congda spent his spare time doing shooting training in order to make some money from Kobe.
I get up at around 5 o'clock every morning, drive to the Clippers training center, ask Curry to help me, and practice nothing else but midfield shooting.
Curry is still wondering why Mr. Smart is suddenly so interested in shooting and specializes in midfield shooting?
Of course, Curry himself practices long-range shooting very diligently. In the new season, he has new ambitions and has higher demands on himself.
Therefore, Min Congda spent half of the week training with Kobe and half of the time with Curry.
With this persistence, Min Congda gradually discovered why many people like to play basketball.
Shooting basketball accounts for at least half of the fun.
This thing is the same as fishing. Before the fish takes the bait, all the preparation and waiting are for the happiness of the moment when the fish takes the bait.
On the basketball court, there are so many tactics, moves, and games just for the thrill of hitting the center of the basket.
There are also football and rugby, which have similar mechanisms.
Compared with the difficulty of scoring goals in football and rugby, it is easier to score goals in basketball.
This also means how important personal ability, especially shooting ability, is.
The moment the ball leaves your hand, it's a foregone conclusion whether it will go in or not.
All that's left is to wait, waiting for the ball to reach the basket according to inertia and whether it can fall into the net according to the trajectory you expected.
This kind of "decision-implementation-result" forms a complete feedback chain, which can give people happiness and motivation in just one shooting action.
Therefore, many basketball enthusiasts, even if they are holding the ball alone and just shooting on the court, have fun, which is a very interesting thing in itself.
Min Congda also used to play shooting, occasionally practicing with the Clippers players, but he soon found it boring. No matter how hard he practiced, he couldn't play games and make money professionally.
But this time is different. If he can beat Kobe in the shooting contest, he can really earn $50,000!
This is about making money based on one's own strength. Isn't it more upright than arguing with referees and scolding the league every day?
Therefore, Min Congda was deeply involved in it and practiced very hard. On the days when Grover was not training, he would practice from morning until dusk every day.
Then he participated in Grover's training camp to coach physical fitness, improve his physical strength, and support himself to practice more midfield shooting.
To this day, Min Congda seized the opportunity to challenge Kobe. Taking advantage of Kobe's physical weakness after training, he won in a thrilling way 8:7.
Next, the two continued their shooting contest in the midfield. This time Kobe concentrated on taking a deep breath and taking the shot seriously.
But after all, there is too much luck involved in midfield shooting, and after practicing all morning, Kobe's physical fitness has reached its limit.
This time, he only made 6 out of 10 shots, one less than last time.
Min Congda has been resting on the sidelines for a long time and is full of energy. After the last round of warm-up, he is in better condition.
10 balls were thrown out, and 9 were made! Only one was lost!
When the results came out, Min Congda happily imitated Curry and shook his shoulders, while Kobe was so angry that he hit the floor with the ball.
"Smart, we're not done yet. I'm too tired today. After I get some rest, we'll make an appointment to pick another one!"
Kobe really couldn't swallow this breath.
Players like Kobe are so competitive that most people can't understand it.
He has enjoyed playing 100-point heads-up games with his teammates since high school, and has never lost.
The most points he conceded was a 100-12 victory over his opponent.
After entering the NBA, facing strong opponents from all over the world, he is still very competitive.
In this way, he is very similar to Jordan, but different, because Jordan is very competitive in everything.
Kobe's competitiveness is mainly concentrated in basketball, but also outside basketball, but not so much.
Therefore, Jordan likes gambling and has a strong gambling addiction, but Kobe has no gambling addiction. He is just very competitive in basketball.
Min Congda said: "Then I will continue to play with you next time. But next time, let's not play with money, right? Small gambling is pleasant, but big gambling is harmful to the body."
Kobe refused and said: "No, next time I will bet you $500,000. Do you dare?"
During one of Kobe's games, Gerald Wallace interfered with Kobe's free throws. Kobe asked him if he would bet $500,000 that I would not score.
Wallace was scared and didn't dare to accept the bet, and then Kobe made two free throws to help the team win the game.
Min Congda shook his head and said, "I don't dare! It's not easy for me to make money. Please remember to put $150,000 into my account."
Min Congda knows that if you make a small profit, you will get away with it, but if you are too greedy, you will lose money.
When Kobe was ready and physically fit, coupled with the psychological pressure of $500,000, Min Congda knew that he would definitely lose.
"You Soft!" Kobe shouted at Min Congda who was about to leave the gym.
"Whatever you say, I'll see you next season. You have to keep your promise and lead the team back to Los Angeles!"
"The Clippers and I will be waiting for you."
Min Congda decided to change his strategic thinking. Next season, he wants to win! Want to win the championship!
During this time with Kobe, he finally understood why so many people like Kobe and even regard him as their faith, even though he has many dark spots and is not perfect.
It's because he loves basketball extremely dedicatedly, loves it to the extreme, and has unparalleled appeal.
And basketball is really fun. Playing well is a very happy thing, and you can also make money.
As for the bankruptcy mission, let it go to hell! It’s totally a scam!
Min Congda finally figured it out and decided to live an upright life and no longer be a shipwreck.
However, fate often does not depend on people's will, and they especially like to joke with people.
