Kobe Bryant returns to Los Angeles to play for the first time in the new season, which is big news for Los Angeles fans.
Although the opponent is not the Lakers but the Clippers, people are still looking forward to Kobe's return and what wonderful performance he will bring.
Because of Kobe, the ticket price for this game between the Clippers and Nets was sky-high, with the highest ticket price for a front-row seat exceeding $2,000.
One ticket is equivalent to Min Chongda's salary for losing a game, and the Clippers will undoubtedly make a lot of money at the box office.
One data that deserves attention this season is that the Clippers' average box office revenue per game during the regular season has now surpassed that of the Los Angeles Lakers. This is the first time since the Clippers moved to Los Angeles.
Even in the 1990s when the Lakers were at their lowest, the Lakers' average box office revenue per game was far higher than that of the Clippers - because the Clippers were worse at that time.
The Clippers have won the favor of Los Angeles fans with four seasons of accumulation, two championship trophies, and head-to-head victories in the playoffs.
The day before the game, in the afternoon, Rosser reported to Min Chongda on the team's weekly box office sales in the office.
“In the last 9 games, including this 10 games, 5 of them are home games, the attendance rate has all reached 100%. If you include the previous long-term season tickets and package ticket prices, the average single-game box office revenue has been It’s over $1 million.”
With that said, Rosser handed the weekly report to Min Congda for Min Congda to read.
In the early years, the Clippers adhered to the strategy of no or less discounts on ticket prices. As the team's performance became more and more popular, the revenue increased significantly.
It shows that in the final analysis, ticket sales still depend on the strength and record of the team. If the game is played well, fans will come to see the tickets if the ticket is expensive. If the game is not played well, no one will come even if the tickets are given away.
Min Congda looked at the weekly report handed over by Rosser, briefly browsed it, and said: "Our ticket prices are too high, we need to take care of the working class. More discounts, more packages, so that ordinary fans can also come to watch the game. Ability. Also, strictly crack down on ticket scalpers! I heard that some tickets are being sold for as much as 2,000 US dollars each. What does this look like? How can the working class enjoy high-level competitions?"
Rosser asked: "Mr. Smart, not discounting is a long-term ticketing strategy of the Clippers. Why, are there suddenly going to be discounts?"
Min Congda said: "Strategies change over time. Have you ever seen a strategy that never changes? Does our team always use the same tactic?"
Rosser hurriedly said: "You are right, I will immediately convene a meeting with people from the ticketing department to convey Mr. Smart's ideas and formulate a new ticket sales strategy. I think the Clippers want people People have the ball to play, and Los Angeles fans also want everyone to have the ball to watch."
"Okay, okay, stop making inferences! Leave me alone!"
Rosser took the information and left the office immediately. It could be seen that Min Congda was a little irritable.
The Clippers' recent performance on the field can only be said to be okay, with 6 wins and 3 losses in 9 games, tied for fourth in the Western Conference.
If you look at the specific process, you will find that the Clippers have had a hard time winning and losing happily in recent games.
Against the Kings, Rockets, and Magic, they were all easily won by big scores. However, when they went to Miami to face the Heat, they were beaten by their old rivals in the Finals and lost by 14 points, 91:105.
Then they returned to the home court to beat the Timberwolves. The two sides battled into overtime. In the end, the Clippers relied on Gasol's mid-range shot to win the game with difficulty.
In the last home game against the Thunder, they were suppressed by both Thunder players. 110:120, a 10-point disadvantage to a strong competitor in the Western Conference.
Durant and Westbrook scored 62 points together, smashing through the iron wall of the Clippers' proud third-position forward. Leonard, George, and Butler faced Durant, and no one could use it. .
According to the information fed back by Li Liang, "disharmonious" voices have appeared in the Clippers locker room. Ultimately, it is because of "unreasonable distribution of ball rights," "small groups fighting each other," and "Harden doesn't give much to the library." "He passed the ball", all of which confirmed Min Congda's previous worries.
But Min Congda has not yet given a good plan on how to formulate different tactics to coordinate the distribution of ball rights among various small groups.
Although he has outstanding talent and talent in basketball tactics, designing a set of tactics and rotations requires a lot of accumulation and experience, and a lot of time and games must be invested in running-in and experiments. It cannot be figured out just by thinking about it. .
When he read a lot of information and worked with Ada to come up with a pass-and-cut system, it was because he didn't want the Clippers to be good at all, so he just made a thing that he thought was outdated and let the Clippers incorporate it.
In the end, passing and cutting became an effective system in the Clippers, which was inseparable from Steve Kerr's hard work. He and Min Congda had the same ideas and had an effective training method. It took one or two seasons of repeated drills, actual combat, and adjustments, coupled with the extremely high golf intelligence of players like Curry, Gasol, and Harden, to achieve the current results.
Now Min Congda wants to develop four sets of systems that meet the characteristics of different players, focus on different people, and have different rotation strategies, and place them on the same team with the same 15 players. This workload is simply incredible.
Min Congda is talented, extremely keen on tactics and strategies, and has strong adaptability. But if he has any shortcomings, it is that his IQ is not high enough and his computing power is a bit poor.
Similar to a computer, one of his basketball-related software is very well designed, with extremely advanced algorithms. It can quickly process various situations, graphics, and data, and the results it gives are accurate and very creative.
But the processor of the computer is not good. Others are already Core, but this guy is still 286 or 386.
The result is that the single processing capability is very strong, the batch processing capability is very poor, and it is even more incapable of large-scale complex calculations because it will crash directly.
Min Congda is now looking at the four small groups. He has ideas and directions in his mind, but the complicated rotation, as well as how to train and run in later, is a mess, and his CPU is about to smoke.
He really needs someone to come out and help him record and sort out his ideas. It is best to integrate his ideas and inspirations and build a perfect and harmonious system.
Min Congda vaguely felt that it could be completed, but there was no result in the specific refinement. It was like generating a picture with mosaic color blocks, but the specific picture could not be loaded.
It stands to reason that the head coach should be Min Congda's best helper. After all, he will be the executor later.
But as for Tyron Luna's CPU, it's not even as good as Min Congda. Min Congda was smoking, so Director Lu didn't just explode?
Mike Malone is hardworking enough and has great ideas, but with his current workload, if we let him do this job again, it would be better to just let him die.
After thinking about it, Min Congda finally thought of someone. He immediately asked Ada to come in and said, "Ada, where is Fan Chen now?"
Ada said: "Fan Chen is on a business trip to Europe."
"Going to Europe? Send a message and ask him to come back as soon as possible. There is more important work waiting for him here."
