Chapter 1098 No need to prove for whom
The Clippers, who re-entered the playoffs after many years, and entered the playoffs as No.3 in the West, should be optimistic, but in the eyes of many experts, the Clippers are A "soft persimmon".

People who have this idea include members of the TNT team, Barkley, O'Neill and Kenny.

"I think the Clippers are the weakest team among the 16 teams participating in the playoffs~!!!"

"Except for Bass, Livingston and Okur in their lineup, the other players have zero playoff experience, so such a team is a soft persimmon~!!"

"Then there is Coach Blue. I'm not sure about Coach Blue's ability to adjust. They won't go far in the playoffs~!!"

"In the game between the coaches of the two sides, I believe that Karl has already defeated Blue~!!, and will be swept away by the Nuggets~!!, the Clippers are the weakest team among the 16 teams in the playoffs~ ~, the softest persimmon~!!"

The three spoke without hesitation.

"Perhaps in another two or three seasons, when Love and other players are more mature, and when Coach Blue's coaching level is improved to a higher level, it may be the time when the Clippers start to reap, but for now, They have no chance~!!"

Barkley continued to rub salt in the wounds of Clippers fans.

"But no one knows what will happen in the future. There is another very important reason why the Clippers can achieve such a great success this season, and that is the joining of Harper~!! With his new defensive system, strong role and toughness, he is the best candidate to assist the young coach Blue~!!"

O'Neill continued to speak.

"Yes, I agree with this very much. Harper has been coaching in high school for many years and has accumulated a lot of coaching experience, so in my opinion, some teams that want to improve their defense will find Harper during the offseason. Maybe a better contract will be given, maybe the position of head coach will be offered directly, so whether the Clippers can keep Harper is still unknown~!!"

Kenny continued to analyze.

Listening to the analysis of these three people, it seems that the Clippers have ended their journey to the playoffs, and even fell apart.

"These people know how to talk nonsense all day long, it's really annoying to hear~!!, hum~!!!"

In the lounge of the Clippers base training facility here, Jordan watched the live broadcast and turned off the TV angrily, saying angrily.

"The predictions of these people can basically be regarded as a joke, don't take it so seriously~!!"

Harden, who was lying on a physical therapy bed and receiving a massage from the team's masseur, responded to Jordan.

"I know this, but listening to their big-mouthed tone is really annoying~!!, why do they judge, especially Barkley, who doesn't even have a championship ring, and still criticizes others~"

Little Jordan continued.

"It's not once or twice that they have been slapped in the face by their own remarks, just get used to it~!!"

Harden still spoke calmly.

"Did these old guys be bought by the Nuggets~?!, to speak good words for them~!!"

Harper, who was still watching the show, said.

"Haha~, it's possible~"

Lan Shengli smiled and shook his head.

"However, the situation Kenny mentioned, I think it is indeed possible~"

Lan Shengli said with a serious tone.

"After all, what will happen in the future, none of us know~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak in a low tone.

"If, as Kenny said, there are really other teams that offer you an olive branch and offer you a better position and salary, I hope you will seriously consider it then~!!"

Lan Shengli looked at Harper with a sincere expression and said.

"Of course, I will definitely consider it, haha~!!, but the premise is that we can win the championship~"

Harper responded.

"I will keep my promise, don't worry, I won't go anywhere until the Clippers win the championship~!"

Harper continued.

What Harper said might give Lan Shengli a reassurance.

"Haha~, of course I can trust you, but I think I should mention it to the general manager and give you a raise so that I can live a more stable life, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli responded half-jokingly.

"Haha~, that's a good idea~!"

Harper also said with a smile.

While speaking, the players and the coaching staff came to the video hall together, preparing for the video analysis meeting.

"Before analyzing the video, I want to know, who watched TNT's live broadcast today~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Barkley trash~!!"

"Shaq trash~!!"

"Kenny trash~!!"

The players imitated the tone of the audience and responded.

"It seems that you have all seen it, so it is easy to say, to tell you the truth, not only the three of them, but also many, many media, industry experts believe that we will lose to the Nuggets in the first round, or 0:4 We were swept, or eliminated 1:4. In their eyes, we have no possibility of winning. We are the weakest team in the upper half of the Western Conference, and even the weakest team among the 16 teams in the entire playoffs ~!!"

Lan Shengli spoke with a serious expression.

"When everyone hears this, I believe there will be fire in their hearts. Obviously we are the third team in the West, why are we so underestimated~?!, let me tell you, because we are the Clippers~!! "

Lan Shengli spoke earnestly.

"In the past 10 years, the best result of the Clippers was to reach the Western Conference semifinals. The rest of the time, they were lottery teams or playoff teams. No one is optimistic about us. Because of that kind of inertial thinking, they make such predictions and say such remarks~”

Lan Shengli explained.

"So I think you should all hold back your energy and want to prove yourself through this playoff trip, and prove to those who look down on us that our Clippers team is definitely not a "soft persimmon"~! !, Right~!!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Of course~"

Little Jordan responded immediately.

"But what I want to tell you now is that today's Clippers, today's you, no longer have to prove for anyone~!!!"

When Lan Shengli said this, the team members immediately became confused.

"Because we have proved through 82 regular season games and 55 victories that today's Clippers are very different from the previous Clippers. We are a brand new team, and those who pointed at us people, but they still use the old eyes, but we can’t use the old way to respond~!!!”
