At the meeting, Min Congda felt that something was wrong.
"It's over. I have brainwashed them for four years. I really thought that everyone could have a ball and play. What the hell are you thinking? How can it be possible that everyone has a ball to play, and I still want everyone to practice!"
"However, I can't suddenly say that we don't want everyone to have a ball to play. After all, we have said it for 4 years and we have won two championships. We have to change our course. Who believes it? No, I have to think of a way. Just give them a little guidance and pressure.”
Min Congda's mind turned around a few times. Although his IQ was below average, he also knew that the current situation was caused by him. It was not possible to freeze three feet in a day, and it would not take one or two sentences to turn it around.
He must slowly guide and bring the team's strategic thinking back to normal.
He coughed a few times and said: "Very good. The idea that everyone has a ball to play has been deeply implemented in the minds of everyone on our team. This is a good thing. This is what I have always upheld since I have been in the basketball industry." A principle and purpose. However, for each season, we still have to have specific plans. Tyron, what do you think?"
Tyronn Ludao: "This season, our basic goal and plan is to develop more complete offensive and defensive tactics and a more scientific personnel rotation. I carefully studied Mr. Smart's coaching experience in 2011." Each game video and lineup rotation plan, although the number of games is small, is full of exquisite wisdom. In those few games, the freedom of the players, the complexity of the tactical combination, and the unpredictability of the rotation have all reached the level An unprecedented situation! My admiration for Mr. Smart is like the endless flow of the Mississippi River and the hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico..."
Seeing that Tyronn Lue was about to start flattering him, Min Congda quickly stopped him and said: "Okay, okay, there is not much worth studying in those games. We should not always look back, but look forward, forward." Look! Based on the existing foundation, we need to go further and reach a higher level! Mike, tell me what you think."
Mike Malone has been with the Clippers for half a season, but after being influenced by the Clippers' state-owned enterprise culture and witnessing Min Congda's unique tactical arrangements in the finals, his thinking has undergone a major change.
With just a few notes, the Heat and Spoelstra were beaten into pieces. This is nothing more than a magical plan, right?
Moreover, Mike Malone also learned that throughout the summer, while other players were fishing and vacationing, Min Congda, as the general manager of the Clippers, insisted on participating in basketball training every day.
Conduct high-intensity exercises with Kobe and Curry, and learn about basketball through personal experience.
In the NBA, coaches and managers can be divided into two types: those who have played professional basketball, and those who have not played and are pure managers and operators.
There is often a gap between the two. Those who have played professional basketball have a unique understanding of the game because they have experienced it personally. This is an experience that people who have never played can never gain.
Therefore, although Tyronn Lue is not as good as Mike Malone in terms of tactical literacy and reserves, he is firmly in the position of head coach because he has practical experience and can grasp the key points of the game at critical moments.
Min Congda also has no professional basketball experience, let alone professional basketball experience. Before the age of 30, his playing experience was blank.
After all, Mike Malone played in the NCAA in college and was considered a serious amateur basketball player.
Under such circumstances, Min Congda worked hard to participate in training and keep up with the footsteps of professional players, wasn't it just to bridge the gap between the two?
This kind of spirit is really admirable and touching. Mike Malone also specifically asked Curry how Mr. Smart's training performance was. Curry said, "It's so talented that it's shocking."
Facing Min Congda's question, Malone said: "In the new season, my biggest idea is that the team must hold high Mr. Smart's tactical banner and continue unswervingly. I have made defensive adjustments to the team before. I think the transformation was relatively successful. However, the playoff games proved that the integration of offense and defense is the ultimate form for the Clippers to succeed. In the finals, Mr. Smart helped us open up our thinking and use richer tactics and rotations. , activates the team's offense and makes the team's offense and defense more balanced. Therefore, in the new season, we must maintain Mr. Smart's core position in tactical thinking and comprehensively and in-depth..."
The more Min Congda heard, the more something was wrong. What was going on? Is this America? Are you NBA professional coaches?
He quickly interrupted Mike Malone's speech and said: "Okay, okay, what's going on with you? I'll let you talk about your plans, ideas, and goals for the new season. What do you always say about me? What does it have to do with me? ? If I am gone, will you stop playing? Stop working? Stop competing? Stop winning? My dear guys, what are you thinking in your mind? Open your mind, open it!"
For a moment, everyone in the conference room stopped talking, and they were all beating in their hearts, unable to figure out what Min Congda was thinking.
In the early days, the Clippers coaching staff was normal. They were constantly aiming for the championship, defending, survival of the fittest, and establishing the core.
As a result, Min Congda denied them one by one, and the facts proved that Min Congda was right.
Everyone has a ball to play, allowing the Clippers' young people to grow rapidly, greatly reducing the risk of injuries, and forming a rich tactical system and a unique rotation system.
Min Congda's accurate grasp of tactics and unparalleled guiding ideology helped turn things around in the finals quickly, otherwise the outcome with the Heat would have been uncertain.
The relaxed team atmosphere, friendly and united teammate relationship, and excellent logistical support ensure the team's combat effectiveness and avoid internal friction to the greatest extent.
Point by point, item by item, plus the final result, all proved Min Congda's correctness, so of course everyone would only follow his lead.
But now, Min Congda seems to have a new idea. Everyone tried their best to guess, but they couldn't figure it out.
At this time, consultant Jerry West, who had been silent, knocked on the table lightly and said: "Our meeting is to establish a clear and simple goal, and then move towards this goal. Specifically, how will we get to the end? , I think you all have experience. Sometimes you can only take one step at a time and make constant adjustments. As for the goal, it is actually very simple. This season, we want to win three consecutive championships and become a true dynasty team."
Min Congda finally heard the answer he wanted to hear. The old consultant was the old consultant, and he hit the nail on the head!
Unexpectedly, Old Deng Dunleavy said: "Jerry, do you still need to say this? If the purpose of our meeting is to talk about this, we can just meet in the parking lot instead of going to the conference room."
"The championship is not the ultimate pursuit, the ultimate love for basketball is our theme."
"Yes, the championship is just a by-product of our progress. If we pursue the championship all the time, we will put the cart before the horse."
"We won the championship because we were successful, not because we were successful!"
Everyone was criticizing Jerry West for his overly utilitarian thinking. West was so angry that he got up and left with a straight face, not wanting to deal with these crazy people.
Min Congda also wants to leave. Where did you bunch of idiots learn these chicken soup sayings from?
