"The problem I'm most worried about, first of all, is injuries! It stands to reason that the team's injury management has been very good before, and our players are also very young. But injuries are a very mysterious thing. Sometimes no one is injured, and sometimes no one is injured. When one person is injured, a chain reaction will occur, one after another, and finally they will fall to pieces!"
Min Congda expressed his first worry. Injuries are indeed a big problem, and they are often force majeure.
One reason why a group of people are often injured when one person is injured is the problem of load management.
Especially when important rotation players are injured, in order to maintain the record, other players must step in to increase playing time and confrontation.
As a result, this player was also injured, and the subsequent players continued to increase their playing time and were injured again... forming a vicious cycle.
Injuries will not only cause attrition, but also make it impossible to maintain the players' game status, reduce their tacit understanding, and lead to low morale of the team due to the long-term absence of core players, leaving the following players unconvinced.
In short, injuries are more serious than tigers and are always the biggest stumbling block on the road to victory and championship.
Min Congda's worry is quite reasonable.
Fan Chen also agreed, saying: "However, the team has always used large rotations before, and the players are all young. We have several tactical systems in the Clippers. I don't think there will be any big problems with the players' bodies. Even if there are two If injuries occur at any time, other people and the tactical system can definitely step in. I have to say, Mr. Min, you are far-sighted. The 15-man rotation strategy that year was really far-sighted."
Fan Chen praised him so much that Min Congda felt a little embarrassed.
Were you too far-sighted in your big rotation back then? It's obviously the behavior of a traitor who wants to bring down the team's tactical rotation.
Unexpectedly, the young players took the challenge, survived it, and formed a flexible, changeable and rich team system.
Min Congda coughed a few times in embarrassment and said: "But you still have to be careful. Injuries are inevitable. As long as you step on the basketball court, injuries will always be with you."
Min Congda said this from the bottom of his heart. This summer he trained with Curry and Kobe. In addition to receiving US$150,000 in benefits, the biggest gain was the physical pain.
Knees, shoulders, arms, fingers, ankles, elbows, in just over a month, there is no place that has not been sprained, bruised, or strained.
He was originally at the level of an average exerciser, but suddenly he reached the extreme intensity, and it was impossible not to get injured.
Fortunately, before each training, the physical therapist will help Min Congda fully stretch and massage, and then relax after the training.
Therefore, Min Congda suffered only minor injuries and no major problems.
Professional players undergo high-intensity training and competition every year, and if they have been playing for more than three years, they are all covered in injuries.
When it comes to the playoffs, most players play with injuries, but most of them are minor injuries, which can be dealt with as long as they can endure them.
For a player like Kobe who has been playing for 17 years, takes high-intensity shots in every game, and has played in so many playoff games, injuries are already a part of his life and body.
You can tell by looking at his fingers that they are not normal human fingers at all. They are as thick as carrots and are often bandaged. Min Congda was shocked when he saw Kobe's hands.
It's really amazing that such a pair of short, rough hands can throw such exquisite shots and perform so many moves.
"Aside from injuries, the second issue I worry about is the competitiveness of the players. No, not only the players, but also everyone from top to bottom, from coaches to employees, lacks a sense of motivation and crisis. Everyone has been lacking in the past few years. My life is really quite comfortable and I lack the motivation to keep moving forward!”
If it is reasonable to worry about injuries, Min Congda's worry about players' lack of competitiveness is basically unfounded.
Although these young people have won two championships, because they are young, they are far from satisfied.
Fan Chen also said: "I don't think so. Isn't this the style of our Clippers? It's loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The atmosphere is good. In fact, everyone is holding back their energy to compete and win the championship."
Min Congda said: "That may have been the case in the first two seasons, but I don't think so in the new season. What I'm most worried about is that when these people grow up, they start to form small groups, start to have their own ideas, and even fight among themselves. After all, Everyone wants to be in the limelight and get a big contract, don’t you think so? Don’t you think all the successful teams in history are like this? If there is no achievement at the beginning, they all work hard. Once they have some achievements, they focus on grabbing the credit. Divide the luggage."
"Also, Tyronn Lue and Mike Malone, these two old boys, have been flattering me recently. They open their mouths to take my thoughts as the core, and shut up to hold high my banner. Am I playing basketball or rebelling? I’m worried that they are shirking their responsibilities, and if they lose in the future, it will all be blamed on me!”
Fan Chen thought to himself, although what Mr. Min said made sense, was he too cautious?
And when we talk about Tyronn Lue and Mike Malone later, I feel like I’m being persecuted and paranoid!
Everyone’s love and admiration for you is true.
But Fan Chen also thought that it was normal for him to have doubts when he reached Min Congda's position and his achievements.
The fact that he was willing to say this to himself showed that he regarded himself as one of his own. Thinking of this, Fan Chen was quite pleased.
Min Congda followed: "I have a third worry, that is, I am afraid that the league will target me. As you know, I have been at odds with the league in the past two years. The league has fined me so much that I have almost lost my fortune...I have lost everything! Silva, this I guess Baldhead also hates me secretly. In fact, we had a pretty good relationship earlier, but it’s a pity~"
Min Congda only said half of what he said here, and hid the other half because he had done many private transactions with the alliance.
Including assisting the Lakers trade, promoting the Lakers to change owners, and secretly squeezing Sterling away. Of course, in the end, the Clippers' surname was Sterling.
The most terrible thing is that David Stern has a handle on him. Although Min Congda is not afraid, he still finds it very troublesome.
He still doesn't know what attitude the league and Silva have towards him and the Clippers.
Judging from the 2012 and 2013 seasons, the league still favors the Clippers. The whistles are generally loose and there are no too disgusting bias whistles.
Of course, this is inevitably related to Min Congda's "resistance", and the referee is also afraid.
But if the situation changes in the new season and the league and referees decide to target the Clippers, things will be in trouble.
Sometimes, whether you support you or despise you is a matter of an instant, it all depends on the needs of the situation.
If the alliance needs a new king, it will support you.
When the alliance needs a dragon, it will naturally step on you.
It all follows the emotions of the fans and the audience.
In order to win three consecutive championships, the Clippers undoubtedly have the potential to become a dragon.
Fan Chen said: "Then...Mr. Min, what exactly do you decide to do?"
Min Congda thought for a while and said: "You don't need to do the work of the Asian Youth Foundation for the time being. Come to the United States with me. I need talents now!"
