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

Chapter 577 My Best Partner
Min Congda was very puzzled, why a company would take over the construction project of Huawei Center so soon, and he was not clear about the whole process.

In just two or three weeks, he thought it would take a year and a half to talk about it, right?

The speed and smoothness of the process are simply unimaginable.

It was not until many years later that a sports-loving leader visited the Los Angeles Clippers and had a cordial interview with Min Congda, that he knew why a Chinese company took over the Huawei Center so quickly.

As for why he was kept in the dark during the whole process, the reason is also very simple, because he was "empty".

Since Min Congda entered the Clippers, in order to make the Clippers go bankrupt, he has always adopted a "sheep-herding" attitude for management.

Don't care about this, don't care about that, point the way in the general direction, formulate some strategic plans, and leave the rest to the people below to handle.

He thought that the Clippers would get worse and worse under this kind of loose management, but he didn't expect that the people under him had made great progress in more than three years.

It's not because the Clippers have the ability to not be excavated before, but two very important reasons: first, enough money management; second, less management.

Basketball essentially belongs to the tertiary industry and is a kind of entertainment service industry. It is different from agriculture in the primary industry and industry in the secondary industry. It has a higher demand for "personality" and "talent". enlarge.

Some regions or some teams why the development of the entertainment service industry is not good. Either there is little management but no money, or there is money but too much management.

Of course, there are also those who have no money and a lot of management, so there is basically no entertainment service industry in such places.

Min Congda has enough money, I don't care what you do, but the Clippers, a team that was suppressed in the past, gradually released their vitality.

Look at the current Clippers team, from top to bottom, from players to employees, they are all devoted to work with the fullest enthusiasm, and do everything well.

Fishing at work?Basically nonexistent, there are not many working hours every day, and you are still fishing, so what are you doing when you go home?
After all, since Min Congda took over the Clippers, the non-player staff of the team have not worked overtime.

Besides, why do people like the scouting team work overtime? Anyway, they basically don't sign new players.

The Clippers' 15-man roster is almost like a compilation. It is basically worry-free to pass the exam. Only when someone leaves will someone come to the top.

Like other teams, they try out players twice in three days, sign a short contract for 10 days, and then change players after 10 days.

Some scouts have been busy throughout the season and made several large volumes of player observation notes. In the end, none of the fans he dug out could remember the players, and their contributions to the team were pitiful.

For the Clippers scouts, their hardest job is to travel to China to discover young Asian players. This job is more challenging.

In the past two years, everyone was reluctant to go, but starting this year, they all wanted to apply for a business trip to China to do some work. It’s too busy in Los Angeles!
Of course, leisure has not degraded everyone's abilities. On the contrary, many people are improving themselves and contributing to the team from many details.

For example, since the 09-10 season, people in the ticketing team have basically lost the pressure to sell tickets, and all KPI assessments have been cancelled.

The working attitude of the ticket operator may be 10 times better than in the past, and in the past two seasons, the ticketing team thought about tricks to issue tickets, and unexpectedly succeeded in revitalizing the Clippers ticket financial market.

The Clippers won the championship, and their record continued to be hot, which led to the continuous rise in the price of long-term season tickets they sold for fundraising. Of course, the Clippers looked down on the price difference between low-income and high-selling, but one of the effects that made this ticket market hot, It is to let more and more people buy tickets to watch the Clippers game. This is a kind of propaganda that changes direction.

Does Min Congda care about this?Of course he doesn't care, he watches games, eats in the cafeteria, and fishes every day, so how can he have so much free time.

If it is another manager or boss, such as Grandet like Sterling, who has to manage the employees and pays less money, who is willing to do these things that have nothing to do.

There are hundreds of people in a team, but there are not many people. Everyone works in the same place on two floors.

In terms of assets, the Clippers have a market value of hundreds of millions, but in terms of scale, hundreds of people are actually a small and medium-sized company.

Generally speaking, the more people there are, the more difficult it is to manage. For a super-large-scale enterprise with tens of thousands or even 10,000+ people, if Min Congda's management is used like a herding sheep, it may really go bankrupt in a short time.

If you don't go bankrupt, you will be divided up by the people below.

But in small and medium-sized companies, everyone knows each other with hundreds of people.

Working together for a long time, everyone is like family and friends, and the cohesion is quite strong.

With Min Congda as a generous leader, I am very happy to work every day.

Not only is he very interested, but he also respects and admires Min Congda. Everyone knows that Mr. Smart is afraid of trouble, likes fishing, and doesn't like getting up early.

You report a lot of things to him. If it is good news, he won’t bother to listen to it. Maybe he will reprimand you a few times, “What kind of good news is this!”

On the contrary, it is some bad news, and Smart will continue to encourage and comfort him, "It's okay, this little thing is nothing to worry about! Continue to do well according to your ideas!"

Slowly, the Clippers have formed a habit of reporting sorrows but not good news, hiding good things in advance and talking about them later.

On the contrary, it is not a good thing. If you tell Mr. Smart earlier, not only will you not be scolded, but you will also be encouraged and helped.

Good things can be enjoyed secretly, and bad things can be helped by the leader. Where can I find such a good working environment and atmosphere?

This time the situation of the Chinese company taking over the offer is the same. First of all, everyone believes that Mr. Smart has already arranged it. If you talk about it, do you need to talk about it?
Secondly, how can such a good thing be reported to Mr. Smart?Are you looking for scolding?
It wasn't until the end that he couldn't hide it anymore that Roser took the initiative to talk to Mr. Smart.

Anyway, Xie Li can take the lead in signing and negotiating, and she is very willing to take the lead.

Because she showed her face in this matter, it is a cooperation with political influence, it is not that simple.

So before I knew it, the matter was just like that, and it was just like that!

Min Congda was shocked for about three days, and he didn't go to the training center cafeteria for three days.

Of course, he didn't starve himself, and went to the red boots to eat pizza, burgers, and steaks to punish himself.

Three days later, because I wanted to eat hot pot so much, I went back to the training center.

At this time, the Clippers have won 15 consecutive victories, and they have not lost a single game throughout March!
With an overwhelming momentum, they regained the No. [-] throne in the Western Conference and gradually left the Thunder behind.

In fact, the Thunder have played quite well, but the Clippers are too strong in the later stage.

At the end of March, the Clippers finished another four-game winning streak, still in the Texas Triangle, and retreated unscathed again.

Playing against the Rockets on March 3, he even slaughtered the Rockets by 31 points in Houston, which did not save the Rockets and Morey any face.

Of course, the Rockets have changed the lottery championship strategy of the previous two seasons. There is no hope for the playoffs.

April entered the closing stage, and the Clippers continued their winning streak. They beat the Pacers and the Suns at home one after another, extending the winning streak to 17 games.

As of the end of the Suns, the Clippers have achieved a record of 57 wins and 19 losses. Even if they lose all next, they have already created the highest win record in team history.

Three more wins would give them their first 60-win record in franchise history.

Of course, the regular season is no longer attractive to the Clippers.

Their goal is only the playoffs, only the championship.

Min Congda was powerless to stop such a situation.

He once again focused on other teams, especially the good neighbors the Lakers.

The information sharing center established by Min Congda keeps collecting all kinds of news about the Lakers and other teams.

Especially the relationship between Kobe and Paul, he really wanted to know if there was a discord between the two as the intelligence said.

Because this will determine his strategy for the Lakers, how to tear down the Lakers, the conflict between Paul and Kobe is very important.

On the surface, the relationship between Paul and Kobe is still quite good. After the Clippers got the news of the discord between the two, the media soon broke the news.

But the two responded immediately, and took photos in the locker room. The two talked and laughed, and responded to the outside world.

But generally speaking, people who really have no problem don't even bother to respond.

The more you have to pretend nothing happened, the more likely there is a problem.

How to verify it?Min Congda knew that the best way to let the conflict break out was to let the Lakers lose.

The worse you lose, the better, and the uglier you lose, the better.

Just in time, on April 4, the Clippers will play away against the Lakers.

For Min Congda, this is a good opportunity to test the Lakers' resilience.

Therefore, before the start of the game that day, Min Congda entered the locker room unprecedentedly, and mobilized and encouraged the Clippers players.

When Min Congda entered the locker room, everyone didn't realize that something was going to happen.

In the past, Min Congda often came to the locker room before the game, but he basically didn't say anything, just walked around and left.

I often come after the game, especially after the game is lost, to comfort everyone.

Instead, he won the game and basically didn't show up, and went home silently by himself.

Unexpectedly, this time Min Congda called everyone together, and then told everyone, "We must win tonight's game. Not only must we win, but we must win beautifully!"

Everyone is a little confused, how can you win beautifully if you work hard?Didn't you always praise your beauty and good play when you lose before?

Min Congda's encouragement had no effect, and even made everyone feel very confused.

Min Congda felt a little embarrassed, he no longer knew how to boost morale.

After thinking for a while, Min Congda brewed his feelings, and said: "Uh, everyone knows, I am an orphan. I grew up alone, and basketball is my only partner. When did I start to get in touch with basketball? I remember it very clearly. , It was on April 4th. On this day, a kind person gave me a ball and said, this will be your good partner in this life. When you are lonely, take it out, it will be I will always be with you. At that time, I didn't understand what a non-talking ball could bring me. I didn't know until today that it brought me a lot, brought partners, and brought you. I never talked about it in the past. Until today, many things have happened in the past two years. I suddenly feel overwhelmed. I want to tell you that you are my best partner. So, win the game, Guys, the opponent is still the Lakers, please beat them!"

Now everyone is not calm, it turns out that's the case.

No wonder Mr. Smart, who has been discouraging everyone from winning before, has such a hidden story in his heart.

I can't help myself today, I just want everyone to win because I talk to everyone, so how can I not go all out?
Or say that the athletes are innocent, everyone was moved by what Min Congda said, even Min Congda himself was a little moved.

Damn, this story seems to be really touching, tears are about to fall while talking.

The Clippers players went up and hugged Min Congda one by one, and vowed not to beat the Lakers shit out tonight.

Min Congda thought to himself, I have paid so much for my work that I have become an orphan.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game between the Clippers and the Lakers started on time.

In fact, the Lakers have been in a good state recently, stabilizing in the fourth position in the West.

The Thunder and the Clippers will definitely not be able to overtake them, and the Spurs are firmly ahead by one game.

The Lakers definitely don't want to be ranked No. 4. The first round of No. 4 and 5 is the most intense.

Then there is a high probability that the Clippers will be played in the semifinals. Although there are many advantages to playing the Clippers.

For example, there is no need to run back and forth between home and away games, for example, it has been the third encounter and is more familiar, for example, it will gain a lot at the box office, etc.

But there is one biggest disadvantage: that is, you can't beat it.

I didn't play last year, and the strength of the Lakers has actually improved slightly this year.

The problem is that the Clippers are stronger, and anyone who has played against the Clippers will have this feeling.

It's not that kind of puffiness, it's really very strong, and it hasn't fully exerted its strength yet.

Some championship teams or finals teams will appear puffy in the second season.

His record has improved and he played better, but in the playoffs he couldn't help but play.

However, the Clippers have deep internal skills and an extremely solid lineup. Whoever you pick out, the Clippers are still strong contenders for the championship.

Even if Curry is gone, the Clippers still have a very competitive lineup and supporting style of play.

There is nothing wrong with the Clippers' thinking. They have no opponents in the league, and their opponents are only themselves.

Then tonight at the Staples Center, they thrashed their opponents, the Lakers.

四节比赛的比分：41:27，30:22，42:33，31:25，快船队四节比赛打出了两个40分！
In a single game at 144:107, he scored 140 points in regular time and slaughtered the Lakers by 37 points!
In this straight fight, Paul threw a towel off the court, and Kobe didn't say a word, and the two had no communication on the bench.

Did not even attend the press conference together, only Paul attended the press conference to be interviewed by reporters.

The most common sentence Paul said at the press conference was: "I am very frustrated, very frustrated."
