Chapter 114 Sloan's Prediction
Chapter 114 Sloan’s prediction (first update)
"Ding, this is the captain here, reminding all passengers that when arriving in Minneapolis, due to the snowstorm, the plane will be transferred to St. Cloud Airport for landing. Please be prepared. We will transfer to
Landing in St. Cloud, please be prepared."
Min Congda was woken up by the captain's announcement on the plane. He was sleeping soundly when he heard that there was a snowstorm in Minneapolis.
It's true that blessings and misfortunes never come singly. Even God is helping Min Congda and adding more unexpected and unfavorable factors to the Clippers' devilish schedule.
Ada, who was sitting next to her, said: "Mr. Smart, there's a snowstorm in Minneapolis. We have to transfer to St. Cloud to land. There will definitely be a lot of delays on the way."
Min Congda stretched himself and thought to himself, Ada, this is a good thing, what is there to worry about?
"Ada, let me ask you, if the team is delayed on the road and does not have time to participate in the game, how will the result of the game be calculated?"
"Well...Situations like this rarely happen. In the past, there were situations like this when transportation was underdeveloped. If something like that happens, the game will be postponed and replayed."
"It's a rematch. I thought the team that was late would lose the game."
Min Congda was having a whim here again, thinking that the Clippers would be unable to arrive in Minneapolis on time due to the heavy snow and would not be able to catch up with tomorrow night's game and would be directly sentenced to lose.
The Clippers have been in poor form recently, and Min Congda has tasted the sweetness of losing wages. In the past two or three weeks, he has received US$10,000 in after-tax losing wages, and added 50 shares of Apple stock.
"Where is the shuttle bus? Where is the shuttle bus?" Min Congda thought, why is there no shuttle bus? I will freeze to death.
In this way, the players did not have to go to the lobby in the cold wind. They took the car and arrived at the airport lobby smoothly. There was also a bus arranged by Sloan in advance. They put away the luggage of the players and staff and set off for Minneapolis.
.
Little did I know that this guy is the biggest mole, thinking about the team losing all day long.
St. Cloud is further north than Minneapolis, and further north is Canada. The sun sets at five o'clock in the winter.
But tonight Curry simply reported that he was safe, chatted for a while, said he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, and hung up the phone early.
Carmen Sloan shouted to everyone: "Get in the car! This is our car! Get in the car!"
"Mr. Smart, there are not enough shuttle buses here, so everyone has to walk to the terminal!" Ada said.
If you play well, you will be praised and forgotten two days later. If you play poorly, you will be ridiculed and criticized immediately.
When the Clippers players saw the general manager traveling with the team to an away game, they thought Mr. Smart was leading the army to boost everyone's morale.
Sloan said: "Before coming to Minnesota, I expected that there might be a snowstorm. If I were to transfer and land, it would usually be parked at St. Cloud Airport. So I called a day in advance to reserve a shuttle bus and got off the plane.
Then I called him to come over, so we don’t have to walk to the airport.”
He had communicated with Dunleavy, and Dunleavy just said that just play according to your own ideas and don't think too much.
The plane circled in the sky, avoiding the blizzard, and flew further north to St. Cloud Municipal Airport.
This cycle goes on and on, and fans and media enjoy it, but for players, this back and forth is a source of pressure.
He was a little uncomfortable because being the sixth man leading the second lineup was different from being a fake starter.
Then we transferred to St. Cloud halfway. There was no shuttle bus, so the players froze to death.
Min Congda was surprised and said: "Carmen, where did you get this car?"
The intensity of the defense he faces will be greater, and at the same time, his tasks in defense will be heavier.
After traveling a lot and it was freezing cold, Min Congda went to bed early to sleep.
She just asked the flight attendants if there is a shuttle bus for you on this kind of temporarily transferred plane.
Originally, the team was scheduled to arrive in Minneapolis on the afternoon of December 15th. The players had a good night's rest before participating in the game tomorrow.
Seeing that everyone had to brave the cold wind and walk several hundred meters to reach the airport hall.
After Curry took a shower, he lay on the bed and called Ayesha. This guy was really attached to his girlfriend.
Min Congda did not expect that Sloan actually predicted the weather and the possibility of the plane diverting and landing, and made advance planning.
Last time Min Congda said he would increase the contract amount by 20%, so he did so right after he returned.
Not only did they add more money, but they also settled the previous arrears, which made Sloan very grateful.
"I didn't think too much. I think I thought too little. NBA games are really not easy."
They didn't have any delays in St. Cloud and arrived at their reserved hotel at around 7 p.m.
After getting off the plane, the biting cold wind penetrated his collar. Min Congda was shivering from the cold and tightened his down jacket again and again.
The NBA is a place without memories. The memories of fans and media only last for two days.
Because of Gordon's injury and coach Dunleavy's rotation changes, Curry's playing time has increased and his playing time has moved forward.
He now has to take on some of the defensive tasks that Gordon had to handle before, but this is not what he is good at.
Check-in at the hotel also went without any problems. The players were able to enter the room early, take a hot bath, lie in bed and rest to relieve the fatigue of the journey, and recharge their batteries for tomorrow's game.
On the other hand, you were beaten to shit and scolded to shit. Two days later, you performed wonderfully and the licking dog arrived immediately.
Well now, by the time the plane landed at St. Cloud Municipal Airport, it was already past six in the evening and it was completely dark.
"Great, well done Sloane!"
Imagine if Sloan hadn't been so concerned about the team's schedule and had flown to Minneapolis as originally planned.
He is really not in the mood to have sex with his girlfriend. The team's recent poor morale and his own offline status have made his pressure rise sharply.
At the beginning of the season, Curry had not yet enjoyed much praise, and the doubts were slightly suppressed. During this period, as Curry did not perform well, the negative voices began to counterattack wildly.
Offense and defense are no longer the patterns they were used to before. It's amazing to be able to play well.
The reason why Sloan was so interested was very simple, because he had enough money.
Every time I go to play away games, I have to talk to Ayesha on the phone for a while when I get to the hotel.
When we arrived at the St. Cloud Municipal Airport, affected by the bad weather, the plane circled in the sky for another half an hour before finding the landing window.
Thinking about Sposato telling himself that he wanted to increase his playing time, he was full of confidence, but he didn't expect that after a few games he was not as satisfied as he wanted.
At this time, a shuttle bus appeared in everyone's sight and stopped near the Clippers players.
Next, I need to contact the bus company. I don’t know when I can get a bus due to the bad weather.
Therefore, he pays special attention to the team's schedule and security, and uses all available resources so that the players can play with peace of mind and not be disturbed by external factors.
After the transportation is arranged and we arrive at the hotel, it will probably be midnight again, which will make the players very tired and affect the state of the game the next day.
He didn't realize that Sloan's proper arrangement would add to the team's combat effectiveness.
Curry was lying on the bed in a daze when someone knocked on the door.
Curry stood up and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Balang, the boy who opens the door."
It's Baron Davis. Why is he looking for me so late at night?
Chapter completed!
