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

Chapter 170 Triple Treasure Project (Second Update)

"I'm cheated, I'm definitely cheated!"

"Who the hell came up with this idea? Who! What kind of documentary, what kind of African fans? Damn, let me collect donations, $[-]!"

"My RNM is $50000, woo woo, how many games will the Clippers lose...2000 divided by 25 equals 25...[-] games!"

"My Clippers have played almost half of this season, and I haven't lost 25 games."

"Is it easy for me to take your 10 yuan? I risk my reputation to be a referee. What's the difference between this and going to the zoo to live broadcast a tiger? It's all money."

"Who the hell came up with this lousy idea of ​​charity fundraising? Let me be the initiator!"

"It must be Adam Silva, I think his expression at the dinner party is wrong, he looks cheap!"

"This beam is settled, this beam is considered to be closed!"

After returning to the hotel after the dinner, Min Congda tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep, feeling very uncomfortable.

He even lost interest in making out with Daddario, and returned to the hotel by himself after sending Daddario back to his home in New York.

Although Daddario was reluctant to part with him, Min Congda's speech tonight deeply shocked her. She felt a little respect for Min Congda and listened to him.

Under the leadership of Min Congda, D'Addario donated 20 US dollars, which was too much for Min Congda to bear.

But for someone like Daddario who was born in a family and has a career as an actor, it's just a drizzle.

Not to mention those retired basketball superstars and team owners, it is easy to donate more than 100 million yuan.

Min Congda deeply felt that although everyone seemed to be in the same circle, Min Congda was not in the same class as them.

In terms of wealth, he is an ordinary person. Although he has won a lot of fame by such a trap, his vitality has been greatly damaged.

"I want fame for something. I want money. Only when I have money can I become famous. If I don't have money, this reputation will be a burden."

"Although this is a trap for me, in the eyes of Silva and Stern, it may be regarded as a reward for me. It's really terrible, and I have to give me some kind of Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award. I won't be rewarded every year. Do you want me to donate?"

"I'm a working class, so it's good enough to support myself, so I don't have money to donate to others."

After calming down, Min Congda analyzed that it wasn't that others were trying to cheat him, but on the contrary they were trying to praise him.

It's a pity that they didn't know the actual situation of Min Congda, so they flattered him in the wrong place and broke his Achilles tendon on the leg.

"No, I can't stay in New York anymore. This is the headquarters of the NBA. I have participated in this kind of party once, and I might be invited again and again. At that time, if I donate money again, I will be finished..."

"Hey, but, the foundation, this is a good way to consume the team's funds."

As the saying goes, looking for hope in despair, every time in a desperate situation, Min Congda can always find a spark of hope.

He turned his head and realized that setting up a foundation was a good way to spend money.

He immediately turned on his laptop, retrieved relevant information, and learned about the NBA's reserve talent training system.

The mining and training of basketball reserve talents can be said to be a bottomless pit of funds, which can consume a lot of cash flow.

Unlike European football clubs, NBA teams do not have a youth training system, and young talents are supplemented by universities and overseas leagues.

After all, the NBA is the only one, and winning a championship is called the "world champion". The world champion is extremely embarrassing.

Basketball talents from all over the world want to come and show their skills, so NBA teams don't need any youth training reserve teams at all.

But this does not mean that NBA teams do not pay attention to the development of reserve talents. If you don't dig, you will be poached by others.

The team will recruit talented young basketball players by opening various training camps for long-term observation.

This period of observation may last five to six years, from the time a child enters secondary school until entering university.

In the eyes of NBA teams, these teenagers are high-quality assets in the future, and superstars are hidden among them.

Finding them earlier is not only conducive to their growth, but also allows the team to pay attention to good seedlings earlier and prepare for the draft.

This is a kind of angel investment. Spend a little money in the early years and get big profits in the future.

Some teams with strong drafts, such as the San Antonio Spurs, formed a scouting team very early to go to Europe to conduct player inspections and dig out this undeveloped virgin land.

Ginobili, who played in Italy, was selected in 1999 and could only come to play in the 2002 season, but the Spurs were willing to wait.

The Spurs were the defending champions that year, and their draft pick was very low. The 57th pick in the second round was selected as one of the future troikas.

Because the Spurs have investigated, this player is worth waiting for.

Tony - Parker, participated in the Spurs training camp, the team decided to take him.

The other teams didn't even know how much the little French guard was, and the Spurs picked him up with the 28th pick.

In addition to the Spurs, there are also the Rockets, Kings, and Mavericks, all of whom opened up the overseas basketball talent market relatively early.

A group of star players such as Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Stojakovic, and Nowitzki were brought into the NBA, which brought great changes to the team. At the same time, it enhanced the team's overseas popularity and developed overseas markets.

And some old strong teams, especially the eastern teams, don't pay much attention to overseas talents.

This has led to the emergence of a pattern in which the west is strong and the east is weak in the first decade of the 21st century, and the east lags behind in development strategy.

The only Eastern team that values ​​overseas players is the Chicago Bulls, whose second three-peat has a lot to do with Kukoc.

After seeing the Spurs, Rockets and other teams have a good harvest in basketball and the market, the East gradually turned more attention to Europe, Asia, and Africa.

For example, the Milwaukee Bucks hard-selected Yi Jianlian in the 2007 draft, hoping to replicate Yao Ming's miracle.

In 2005, they won the Australian center Bogut with the No. [-] pick, but they were not very successful, because they only selected people in the draft, and did not carry out early follow-up, development, and training.

In the future, small clubs like the Bucks will devote more energy to discovering overseas talents. After all, the small market in the city is small, big-name players will not come, and high-level draft picks are not available every year, so they can only engage in angel investment.

Min Congda also wants to develop the overseas talent market, but his purpose is different from that of other teams.

"Other teams are starting the era of great voyages in the NBA and discovering talents. Of course, our Clippers can't do that. If I want to learn from Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao, I will send gifts to the West and never engage in basketball colonization! To reflect our fast Chuan’s generosity and enthusiasm, contribute to the development of basketball in the world, and don’t be a vampire.”

It took Min Congda about an hour to formulate the Clippers' overseas basketball talent development strategy, which he named "Three Treasures Plan".

He set his sights on China on the other side of the ocean, and was determined to spread money in his hometown. Based on his little impression of Chinese sports, throwing some money here would definitely have no effect.

"However... who will handle this matter? Roser? Or Olshey? Why don't you let Olshey go? Anyway, he stays at the headquarters every day and has nothing to do. Isn't he just tossing about the draft? What. Just send him to China to save him from messing around in the United States. Then China..."

Min Congda is thinking about how to make this fund project work, and spend the money without producing results.

Min Congda has seen this kind of money-burning projects in the past. He set up this fund and that fund, supported this and that, but in the end the industry failed to support it, and he fed and fattened some self-pocketed rats.

Min Congda hopes to have such an effect, match with a person in China, and give Huo Huo all the Clippers' money.

At this time, Min Congda's cell phone rang, and it was Roser's call.

"Hi, Rosser, what's the matter? I'm going back to Los Angeles tomorrow, and I need your financial assistance for an important project."

Min Congda gave Rosser a critical blow when he came up, and he had to spend money on the project. Are you the general manager of the basketball team or the contractor?

Roser's voice on the other side seemed a little excited, and said, "Okay Mr. Smart, I'll be waiting for you to come back. I just have some good news to tell you..."

"and many more!"

Min Congda interrupted Rosser, he panicked when he heard the "good news" now!

"Hey, what good news, it won't be that someone wants to donate money to our team?"

"Almost! Because of the popularity of "Basketball and Base", Youtube is going to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with us and become the team's advertising sponsor!"

"What!? How much is my sponsorship fee?"

"3000."

Min Congda's eyes went dark and he couldn't see anything.

"Damn it, there's a power outage."
