ace marshal

Chapter 1012

After an away win over the Bulls, Harper led the Clippers to Cleveland immediately to challenge the Cavaliers.

Because it is back-to-back battles, there is not much time to adjust at all, and it relies more on preparation in advance.

"Because it is back-to-back, I will increase the depth of the rotation, so I ask every player to be ready to play, and must fully let themselves move before the game. This is a very important point~!!"

In the locker room before the game, Harper reminded the players.

"Also, a very important point~!!, don't be careless, although the opponent belongs to the big team now, but we have to do our own thing well, this is the most important~!!"

Harper continued.

"3, 2, 1~!!"

"Clipper~!"

"3, 2, 1~!!"

"Playoffs~!!!"

After the loud slogan, the game began.

After the start of the game, the Clippers continued the defensive intensity of the previous game.

In other words, if you want to play in Harper's team, you have to defend hard, and everything else is illusory~! !

Because of James' departure on the Cavaliers side, a group of "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" is really difficult to maintain.

In the past, the Quicken Loan Center, which was full of seats and roared like a tsunami, now also feels like "the building is empty".

Scattered fans, eating fast food and drinking beer, just like watching a drama.

That's what James' departure has done to them.

With James, the Cavaliers are strong contenders for the championship.

Without James, the Cavaliers would be that little sheep at the mercy of others, without any power to fight back.

For today's Cavaliers, perhaps they can only get a player who can act as a facade through another bad performance, or look forward to James' return.

They only scored a poor 8 points in the first quarter.

The Clippers scored 25 points in a satisfactory manner.

So the point difference was widened from the first quarter.

"Everyone played very well in the first quarter, keep it up, boys, forget about the scoreboard, it will always be zero to zero~!!, Come on~!"

Harper's encouragement made the players work harder.

The Clippers slowly expanded their score, and the game lost its suspense early.

Throughout the fourth quarter, the main players such as Harden and Love rested off the court. Seeing them talking and laughing happily, you can know how easy this game is for them.

And Harper is also using "garbage time" to hurry up and start training the end of the team's rotation or young players.

After all, in a team dominated by young people like the Clippers, it is indeed very, very difficult to get playing time.

I believe that during this time, Lan Shengli will also be staring at the screen.

After all, such links as "treasure digging" cannot be stopped.

118:87, the Clippers scored a big win in Cleveland, starting with a three-game winning streak.

"Everyone is doing a great job~!!, I have already said that as long as we are more patient and focused on the defensive end, we will win more games and we will take the initiative in the game. This is beyond doubt~!!, so I can win these two consecutive trips, I am very grateful to you, you played the Clippers basketball~!!"

In the locker room, Harper spoke in an "iron man tenderness" tone.

"Crack clap clap!!!"

The team members also applauded one after another, encouraging themselves, but also thanking Coach Harper for his affirmation.

"Phew~!!, I have successfully won two consecutive victories, and the task of my acting head coach should be over~!!"

Harper continued to sigh.

The three-game winning streak allowed the Clippers to tie for the top spot in the Western Conference.

Whether Harper's job as the acting head coach can be "honorably resigned" is really not up to Harper.

Maybe it's not that Lan Shengli, the "genuine head coach", has the right to say.

But the team doctor has the final say.

While speaking, the Clippers had already left Cleveland, returned to California, and returned to Los Angeles.

"I'm really fine~!!, my body temperature has dropped, and I can work normally~!!"

Here, Lan Shengli couldn't wait to find the team doctor and said.

"But according to the thermometer, the temperature of 37 degrees 1 is still in the range of low fever, so I can't let you come back to coach~!"

The team doctor said.

"There are still two days before the competition, and I can easily lower my body temperature in these two days~!!"

When Lan Shengli heard about it, he immediately said anxiously.

"Are you worried that Harper will replace you as head coach~?! Haha~!!"

The team doctor heard this and said with a smile.

"After all, Coach Harper has led the team to two beautiful victories~!"

The team doctor continued.

"Haha~, how could it be~!!, stop joking~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

"Now I really just want to go back to the team, I don't want to take medicine at home all day and watch the game~!!, it's too boring and depressing~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

“It’s not a problem to return to the team, but you can only do some simple guidance and communication between players on the sidelines, such as high-intensity work such as directing training and analyzing video lessons~!! "

The team doctor said solemnly.

"That's fine~, as long as I can return to the team, I'm really uncomfortable~!"

Lan Shengli immediately agreed.

"But for the game two days later, Coach Harper will still be the acting head coach and will direct on the spot~!"

The team doctor continued.

"No problem, that's absolutely no problem~!!, haha~!!, Harper directed the game, I'm really relieved~!"

Lan Shengli immediately said with a smile.

"Good~!"

Seeing this, the team doctor immediately nodded in agreement.

"You also have to understand me. After all, I did this out of your health considerations. I don't want to wait until you are about to recover. Because of the high-intensity work, you don't get a timely rest and cause your illness to relapse. Then the loss outweighs the gain. ~!!"

The team doctor explained.

"After all, your severe viral cold is very easy to relapse, so you must pay attention~!"

The team doctor continued.

"Okay, I see, thank you, I fully understand, and I believe that Coach Harper can also lead well, but if I continue to win like this, I am afraid that my position as the head coach will really be lost, haha~!! "

Lan Shengli responded with a smile.

"Haha~!!, it's really possible~!!"

The team doctor also responded with a smile.

Although Lan Shengli is still some time away from officially "coaching", but now that he can participate in the team's training, he has basically returned to the team.
