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

Chapter 136 Impossible Triangle ([-]rd update)
As night fell, the ticket gate at the entrance of the Staples Center began to be crowded.

Tonight's game attracted nearly 19000 spectators to watch the game, after all, it is the Los Angeles Derby.

For this game, the Clippers deliberately added more than 100 seats at the scene to sell more tickets.

Because the opponent is the Lakers, it is hard to get a ticket for this game, so in terms of ticket sales strategy, Roser proposed to increase the price.

If the average price is raised to 100 US dollars, then the revenue of this game will reach 200 million US dollars!
One game is worth two games, and the average price is $100 a ticket, which is definitely hard to find.

Now the Lakers and Clippers are very popular in the league, and there are even more gimmicks this time.

The league's only intra-city derby, the Gasol brothers duel, and the dialogue between the rising star Curry and Kobe Bryant.

The degree of topicality and contradictions, if you add 200 cards, there will still be a lot of fans watching.

Then under such circumstances, Min Congda rejected Roser's strategy of raising prices and insisted on selling tickets at a par price!
"Our ticket price for this season has been raised, and the fans still wholeheartedly support us to buy tickets to watch the game. Now there is a gimmick to increase the price and sell high-priced tickets. How do you make those spectators who usually buy tickets to support the team think? No price increase!"

Therefore, at the regular meeting, Min Congda vetoed the price increase strategy.

Although Roser had some complaints in his heart, he also believed from the bottom of his heart that Mr. Smart really had a long-term vision.

Very few managers can resist the KPI temptation of doubling revenue, insist on not raising prices, and insist on selling tickets at a par price.

It can only be said that Mr. Smart's structure is really higher than others.

Min Congda thought to himself: "Fare increase? One game will sell 200 million tickets. Don't let this mouthful of cash milk make you too comfortable. It's really a headache. Why is this ball market getting hotter and hotter? It's terrible."

"After changing to Gasol, although the strength of the team has indeed been reduced. Losing is a loss, but it has increased the degree of topicality. He and Gasol are brothers! His mother is really amazing, and he has two children. NBA."

After Gasol Jr. came to the Clippers, the Clippers' inside strength did drop a piece.

Tactics are even missing a lot, resulting in adjustments to the team's style of play and rhythm.

The cooperation between Randolph and Gasol was not smooth, and Dunleavy once asked Cambido to cooperate with Randolph.

After losing to the 31ers on the 76st, the Clippers lost to the Trail Blazers.

Without Kaman's low-post output, the offensive pressure on Randolph's shoulders has increased a lot.

The Clippers' simple and mindless strategy of playing Randolph at the beginning and then playing Kaman after Randolph can no longer be used.

The young Gasol's low-post offense is much worse than Kaman, who is already close to the All-Star.

The team's combat effectiveness has slipped, but the fans are very interested in this kind of brotherly duel.

The popularity of the Clippers has been fired again. You can see that the number of people in the Clippers zone has been increasing.

The number of clicks on the funny short film "Basketball and Base" keeps rising.

The Los Angeles Clippers are moving fast in the direction of the Internet celebrity team.

"This is an impossible triangle. The team's strength is poor, the team's reputation is low, and the team's income is poor. Why can't these three appear on the Clippers at the same time?"

Min Congda was very puzzled by this question, and couldn't find the answer after thinking hard.

It stands to reason that if the strength is poor, the record will be poor, and then the reputation will naturally be poor, and the income will be low.

But the reality is that the strength is poor, but the reputation is rising because of various things, and the income is also rising.

Once Min Congda tried to do some tricks, such as investment and price increases, to curb the team's profits.

The strength of the team quietly increased, they played better games, their reputation increased, and their income also increased.

At this time, Min Congda realized something was wrong, and quickly adjusted the lineup and style of play, and even used trades.

The team's strength has fluctuated and declined, but the trade quickly boosted the team's reputation, and there are scenes like brothers fighting against each other.

It doesn't matter whether the strength is bad or not, the fame has risen again, and the income has risen again!
It's like pressing the gourd to float the ladle. Without a good helper, it's too tiring to mess it up by yourself.

Looking at the entire Los Angeles Clippers, no one can be his right-hand man.

His crouching dragon has not appeared so far.

"I'm Gan Liliang, this game is well-sold out, it seems there are idiots bidding for high-priced tickets! Let me see, who are the idiots?"

The game is about to start, and it goes without saying that the Staples Center is full again.

Min Congda sat on the sidelines near the Clippers bench, glanced to the side, and saw Lakers fan Jack Nicholson.

Although it was the Clippers' home game tonight, the opponent was the Lakers. Of course Nicholson also wanted to watch the game, and bid a lot of money to get his usual seat.

It added another sum to the Clippers' income, and Min Congda decided not to watch his movies again.

The derby between the Clippers and the Lakers is the second matchup between the two sides this season.

Two months have passed since the Clippers beat the Lakers in the season opener.

The Lakers are strong as the defending champion, ranking first in the Western Conference with a record of 27 wins and 8 losses.

After the trade, the Clippers experienced a wave of three-game losing streak, and their results have fallen to eighth in the Western Conference.

It's just the strength of the Clippers, and now no team in the league dares to underestimate it.

The third Suns in the West and the second Celtics in the East have both been defeated by the Clippers recently.

It's just that everyone doesn't understand why the Clippers, which had a good momentum, had to cut off their own arm.

Properly trade away his All-Star center in his prime, in exchange for a young man.

Just because that young man's last name is Gasol?
Gasol Jr., who had already secured the starting position in the Grizzlies, will start from the bench after coming to the Clippers.

Dunleavy put Xiaojia on the bench in these two games and let veteran Camby start.

This seems to be a kind of protest from Lao Deng to Min Congda, protesting against his casual trading.

Kaman was trained by Lao Deng, and he is very easy to use, and this year is Kaman's peak.

Min Congda traded Kaman away without even saying hello, making the team environment that everyone thought was stable suddenly become panicky.

It turns out that these cold-blooded general managers are all alike, and Mr. Smart is no exception.

Of course, Smart didn't do the kind of thing where you promise never to trade and then send you away for a small profit.

He never made any promises to Kaman, and Kaman also felt that he didn't need promises, so he couldn't think of being replaced.

Facing Deng Lewei's silent protest, Min Congda ignored it.

It's best if you don't use Gasol, the team just keeps losing.

It was exactly what Min Congda wanted to see the most.

In the backcourt position, Curry successfully replaced Gordon.

Became the team's starting guard and played double point guard with Baron Davis.

Gordon had a sprained ankle, and he was gone when he came back to start, and of course he felt uncomfortable.

Min Congda made a "stealing" move to put the Clippers who had just returned to a stable state.

It made ups and downs again, vacillating, and this inner ghost is still very proud of it.

"Hit me well, Lakers, especially the bald No. 2, I need to pay more attention to him."

Min Congda's lifelong enemy, Fisher is being targeted again.

But not only Fisher, but also Kobe Bryant will be defending Curry in this game.

Curry's recent excellent performance has long attracted Kobe's attention.

Tonight is destined to be the hunting time for defenders.

But it is not certain who is the hunter and who is the prey.
