I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 503
Time has come to April in a blink of an eye, and the 4-2011 NBA regular season has come to an end.

The Clippers, who needed to grab the eighth place in the Western Conference in the first two seasons, have jumped to the second place in the Western Conference.

And after defeating the Thunder for the third time in the season on April 4, they secured second place in the Western Conference with a record of 9 wins and 42 losses.

With the last 3 games before the end of the regular season, the Lakers, ranked No. 43 in the Western Conference, have 14 wins and 1 losses, leading the Clippers by [-] game.

The Thunder ranked third with 39 wins and 17 losses, locking in the third place in the Western Conference.

Even if the Clippers lose and the Thunder win the next game, they will not be able to grab second place in the Western Conference.

From fourth to eighth, they are Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks.

Ranked ninth and tenth are the Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers.

The Rockets currently have a 2-game gap with the eighth-placed Dallas Mavericks. In theory, there is still the possibility of reaching the playoffs.

The Spurs, Jazz, Nuggets, and Grizzlies have locked up their playoff spots.

Min Congda looked at the Clippers from the bottom of the league in just two seasons to become what people call a "championship" team, and he felt very guilty.

It's been three years, a lot of work has been done, and there is almost no substantive progress on the task.

Min Congda was too lazy to watch the Clippers game. Anyway, after two hours of playing, it was another victory.

Near the end of the season, the record is about to catch up with the Lakers, only one win away.

What if this becomes number one in the West?Get all the home court advantage in the playoffs in the West?

No, no, Min Congda can't let this happen.

He decisively ordered that the last three games will be rested, and if you can lose, you will lose, but don't win again.

This year is different from last year. Last year, the Clippers wanted to score eight, and Min Congda got angry at everyone for losing.

It turned out afterwards that he lost his wife and lost his army.

Locked in the top two in the Western Conference this year, the Clippers really have no pressure in the regular season.

So what if they get to No. [-] in the Western Conference?Anyway, if you play the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, it will be at Staples, and there is no distinction between home and away games.

And there is another advantage of staying in second place, being able to have another round with the San Antonio Spurs.

The coaching staff naturally agreed to Min Congda's suggestion of taking a break, and all the main players will take a break in the last three rounds of the regular season.

But the Clippers' bench is also very strong, Jeremy Lin, Butler, Leonard, Milicic and Bonner.

It is not easy to win this lineup.

As a result, the Clippers used this bench lineup to beat the Eagles to death with a 4-point advantage in Atlanta on April 22 at 101:97!

Min Congda, who was sitting watching the away game, was speechless.

Is there any hope for this alliance?
What is the point of some teams?

Every year, he spends tens of millions of wages and salaries on the players. Why can't even the Clippers with a substitute lineup win?
In the Clippers' bench lineup, Milicic has the highest salary.

Leonard and Butler are both first-round picks, the first year of their contracts.

Jeremy Lin is a second-round pick, and the combined contracts of the three players can't match one Joe Johnson.

But the Eagles are defeated, and the losers are docile.

You know, the Hawks' lineup is not bad.

They also have a record of 35 wins, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

There are Horford, Josh Smith, Pachulia on the inside, Joe Johnson on the outside, and Jeff Teague.

The strength of the team is quite strong, and it is still playing at home.

As a result, Jeremy Lin once again led the audience, scoring 20 points and 7 assists.

Butler had 15 points, Leonard had 14 points, and Bonner had a rare explosion.

He made 7 of 5 outside three-pointers and scored 18 points, bewildered by Horford who was defending him.

In the absence of five starters, the Clippers also have Dragic, PJ-Tucker, Fisher, Okafor, Ricky Davis on the bench, all of whom are players who performed very well on the field.

To put it bluntly, there is no soft-footed shrimp in the Clippers team, and the depth and thickness of the lineup are quite terrifying.

Min Congda's erroneous draft and trade are one aspect.

On the other hand, it is also inseparable from the careful training of Steve Kerr and Tyronn Lue.

Although these two people competed fiercely when they competed for the head coach, Kerr was still a little unconvinced by Lu's guidance.

After more than half a season of running-in, the two have become very good partners.

Because they are really complementary to each other.

Cole has a lot of ideas, has avant-garde tactical thinking, is good at offense, and is very thoughtful in commanding on the spot.

Tyronn Lue is good at dealing with players, calling them brothers and sisters to build relationships and balance the whole team.

Moreover, although Director Lu is the head coach, he never puts on the airs of the head coach.

During the game, on-the-spot commands, substitutions, and tactical arrangements are often handed over to Cole.

Cole has already figured it out, it doesn't matter whether he is the head coach of the Clippers or not, the key is to realize his own ideas.

As for my own ambition, it is not a bad idea to make new choices in the future. It is indeed very good to cooperate with Tyronn Lue now.

And Tyronn Lue knows that he has low qualifications, and he has no one on the Clippers coaching staff.

Therefore, we must make more friends and fewer enemies, so that the work can continue and the position can be secured.

As a result, the two are a perfect match, and they can be called a rare double-headed coach in the NBA.

In this game against the Eagles, Cole directed the whole process, and Director Lu barely intervened.

Cole creatively used Matt Bonner as the core of the team's offense in the first half.

Using Bonner's ability to open up space and three-pointers, he caught the Eagles by surprise and successfully established an advantage.

In the second half, Jeremy Lin gave full play to his speed advantage, disrupted the battle with the Eagles, and always maintained the advantage.

At this point of Joe Johnson, the wheel defense is used again, and the Clippers now have ample defensive resources on the perimeter.

As a result, the Eagles, fourth in the East, were overwhelmed by the Clippers' full bench lineup and lost the game.

After winning this game, the Clippers completely let themselves go in the last two games against the Knicks and Hornets.

The coaching staff did not make any arrangements, and played with the players themselves.

The Clippers lost two games anyway, and Min Congda's account received a salary of 4000 US dollars.

This is simply like rain after a long drought, and Min Congda is numb now.

At the end of the regular season, the Clippers achieved a record of 43 wins and 17 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

After losing 17 games, Min Congda received a total of $34000 in wages for losing games.

For the $34000, Min Congda still has to save it and dare not spend it, because he has to lose money because the Clippers made the playoffs and won the ball.

In the playoffs last season, Min Congda was fined $30000!
If this trend continues, in the future, I will get [-] to [-] in the regular season, and another [-] to [-] in the playoffs. A season is equivalent to nothing!

They can only rely on fines from the league to make ends meet.

And since he was suspended last time and fined 150 million, Min Congda has been really well-behaved for a long time after the ban was lifted.

First, 150 million US dollars is indeed a lot of money, and second, he really needs to restrain himself for a while.

After all, he has an in-depth cooperation with Adam Silva, and the president's face must be given.

Min Congda has become numb to the Clippers' successive victories.

Anyway, according to Min Congda's idea, the Clippers will definitely be defeated by the Lakers in the playoffs if they are prestige in the regular season.

He put most of his thoughts on the work of the new arena.

The work process of the approval line is proceeding in an orderly manner, waiting for the discussion of the district council, and then obtaining government approval.

The work on this line will take a certain amount of time, and there is no rush.

The work of the capital line is led by Min Congda. So far, no financial institution, syndicate or capital boss is willing to spend 12 billion US dollars to lend the Clippers to build an ultra-luxury comprehensive stadium.

Because the price was too high in 2012, and Min Congda's requirements were even too high, making it hard to believe that there is a possibility of returning capital and making a profit.

Of course, a lot of capital is watching in secret. They hope to wait until the end of the playoffs to determine the Clippers' valuation based on their performance in the playoffs, and then decide whether to give the Clippers financing assistance.

Min Congda couldn't wait any longer.

His plan has been going on quietly in the dark since March.

Until April 4th, which is the penultimate game day of the Clippers regular season, Min Congda finally got the news he wanted.

This afternoon, three hours before the game between the Clippers and the Knicks, Min Congda was sitting in the Red Boots restaurant drinking coffee.

The last time Marcella was attacked and Christopher escaped, the management of this store was handed over to Linda.

So far, Christopher has been missing, and no one knows where he went or why he ran away.

Marcella's gunshot wound was not serious and he recovered quickly, but he became reclusive and seldom appeared around.

This attack really hit him hard, because apart from him, many of his friends and subordinates were assassinated and suffered heavy losses.

This is most likely a gang vendetta.

Without Christopher, the business of the Red Boots restaurant has always been good.

Because the store already has a stable source of supply and customers, there are no major problems in management.

Min Congda drank two cups of black coffee to refresh himself, and made some desserts to replenish his energy.

Suddenly he noticed that there was a big fat white man sitting in the corner seat near the court.

He was wearing the No. 30 Stephen Curry jersey of the Clippers, and he almost tore Curry's jersey.

On the other hand, he wore a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap on his head and a pair of Los Angeles Galaxy football track pants on his lower body.

Min Congda noticed that he kept his head down, and his face was hidden in the hat so that he couldn't see clearly.

It's just that he would look up at Min Congda from time to time, and he could vaguely see the big beard on his face.

He had a pizza in his mouth and a can of drink in his hand. He looked like a fan who came in early to watch the game.

Min Congda didn't pay much attention at first, but when he was about to leave after drinking his coffee, the fat man got up and walked over.

The two bumped into each other accidentally, and Min Congda almost fell over.

"Xie Te..." Min Congda was about to say something obscene, but the fat man grabbed Min Congda.

"Sorry, sorry."

The fat man apologized in a low voice, but he tightly held Min Congda's left hand, and stuffed something into his palm.

Min Congda's heart skipped a beat, he found the fat man's eyes and voice seemed familiar, who is this?
At this time, the big fat man had already left quickly, and his walking was not as bulky as his figure at all.

Min Congda opened his left hand and saw that it was a USB flash drive.

The U disk is still made by the Chinese, and it is a very useful storage tool.

For this last match, Min Congda had no interest at all.

He left the Staples Center immediately and drove home.

In order to ensure safety, Min Congda used the electronic protection provided by the system to ensure that there is no virus or anything in this USB flash drive.

Insert the USB port of the computer and open the USB flash drive. There is only one file in it, a recording that lasts for more than four hours.

"Damn, such a long recording, don't pick a key point for me!"

Min Congda complained in his heart, but he already knew who did it, it must be Marcella!
The last time he came back from Charlotte, Min Congda met with Marcella, and the two reached a cooperation openly and honestly.

Min Congda needs Marcella to use some means to eavesdrop on Clippers owner Sterling.

In exchange, Min Congda would ask Sloan's security company to protect the safety of Marcella and his family, and help him get ashore with nothing.

After the shooting incident, Marcella wanted to retire. With a big tree like Min Congda to rely on, he naturally leaned on it and agreed without hesitation.

For Marcella, he is still very good at eavesdropping.

Because he has to deal with and fight against wiretapping all the year round, the so-called long-term illness becomes a doctor, and if he knows how to fight wiretapping, he naturally understands wiretapping.

Therefore, he selected a few competent officers, and with the help of Min Congda's intelligence, he followed Sterling closely and began to monitor him for more than a month.

In this society, no one can stand the investigation, even Nixon died of wiretapping.

Sterling has always been notorious for being outspoken in private, with a bad reputation, and it is not surprising that he said any nonsense.

When Min Congda opened the three-hour recording and listened to it, he realized that this was already the key point!
In this recording, there are conversations between Sterling and his girlfriend, friends, wife, children, etc.

It is filled with all kinds of bad remarks of Sterling, including racial discrimination, female discrimination, workplace bullying and so on.

It can be said to be colorful and all-encompassing. Min Congda was quite shocked after only listening to a few passages.

"This Sterling is really a mouth-smelling king. In just over a month, he has been complaining and criticizing people from all angles and angles almost every day. Is the daily life of the rich so simple and unpretentious? And Internet trolls are no different."

In Min Congda's ears, Sterling's remarks are similar to some trolls thrown by dogs.

It’s those words that I turn over and over every day, staring at some stars I don’t like back and forth, such as Siyanghuasantie, Liu Bulang, Yao Dasha, burning CPU, etc., I never get tired of it.

Unexpectedly, Sterling, who is worth hundreds of millions, is similar in his daily life, just spraying randomly when he has nothing to do.

Especially when it comes to black players, Brother Ni, who opens his mouth, shuts up and is inferior, it is really uncomfortable to hear.

In the society of the United States, you can talk about some things in private, but you can't say it on the stage.

Nian lived in Stirling for the past two years and did not cause trouble for himself, so Min Congda decided to let him die with dignity.

He sorted out the three hours of recordings, intercepting parts that discriminate against blacks and women, while ignoring some parts that involve politics, especially those that involve Jews.

Although Sterling is also a German-born Jew, this big mouth really dares to say anything, some words are really not as simple as social death, and this part is not what Min Congda wants.

Keep a line of life, so that we can meet each other in the future, and keep a hand of cards in case of emergencies.

After finishing the audio, Min Congda was thinking about how to release the news.

His first thought, of course, was his social media account NBA-Batman.

Now this account has become the number one account for NBA gossip.

It's a pity that it can't be used for cash, otherwise Min Congda would definitely make a lot of money.

"No, if I use NBA-Batman to post audio, Silva will know that I am related to this account, no. No audio, just a simple one-sentence message will be OK, which can play a role in warming up public opinion Function."

After denying NBA-Batman, Min Congda thought of another way. He thought of the fat man he met in the red-headed boots restaurant in the afternoon.

April 4, two days later, the last game day of the NBA.

Tonight the Clippers host the Hornets, and the team is about to usher in the playoffs.

Min Congda still came to the Red Head restaurant in the afternoon, ordered a cup of coffee, and waited quietly.

At 03:30, the fat man in the Curry jersey, baseball cap and football pants came to the corner again, ordered a pizza, a large bottle of Coke, and started eating.

He looked up at Min Congda from time to time, and Min Congda winked at him, then got up and went to the bathroom.

The fat man hurriedly ate the pizza and drank the Coke, followed Min Congda to the bathroom, and saw Min Congda enter a cubicle.

After a while, Min Congda came out of the compartment, and the fat man went into the compartment immediately, looked around, and found an envelope behind the water tank.

Open the envelope, there is a USB flash drive and a letter inside.

The USB flash drive was given to Min Congda by the fat man yesterday.

And the letter reads:

Christopher, hand this USB stick to the front desk of the Los Angeles Times, and buy a plane ticket to Shanghai, China, where I'll arrange someone to wait for you.You don't need to bring anything, just pass by.Give you a call: 137xxxxxxxx.Write down this call, the note is best burned.

When the fat man saw this letter, his eyes turned red. His days of hiding and hiding were finally coming to an end.
