Chapter 1106 Is Pressure, Also Motivation (Part [-])
"Has our young commander-in-chief, Bruce, exhausted his talent~?!"

After witnessing the team's disastrous defeat at home, Clippers owner Sterling immediately called the general manager to question him.

"Mr. Sterling, I will urge Bruce to find out the problem of the loss as soon as possible, and try to equalize the big score in the next game~!!"

The general manager responded.

"I'm going to watch the next game live, you can arrange it~, tell Bruce, don't let me see that he loses two home games in a row, in that case, his contract can't be kept~"

Sterling said in a very serious tone.

After finishing the call with Sterling, the general manager quickly found Lan Shengli.

"Sorry, I take all responsibility for the team's loss tonight~"

Lan Shengli quickly assumed the responsibility.

"Mr. Sterling also called me just now. He expressed his regret for tonight's loss and began to consider whether to implement your contract for next season. Mr. Sterling also said that he will come to the next game in person. On-site supervision, if you lose two home games in a row, I think you have to be prepared to deal with emergencies with Mr. Sterling's vigorous style of work. In short, for the fate of the team this season, for you Prepare for your own destiny~!!"

However, the general manager still conveyed Sterling's words to Lan Shengli.

The huge pressure from the boss may give Lan Shengli more motivation.

But the next game really looks like the turning point of Lan Shengli's coaching career with the Clippers.

"It seems that winning in the regular season is really nothing~, it will be meaningless in the playoffs~, haha~"

Looking at the back of the general manager leaving, Lan Shengli sighed secretly, and soon walked into the video hall.

"Coach Blue, the editing of the game has been completed~!"

The team video editor here said to Lan Shengli who came over.

"Thank you for your hard work~"

Lan Shengli nodded, said, and sat down.

"Before analyzing the video, I want to tell everyone that we have made great progress in this game~!!"

Lan Shengli looked at the players and said.

"Coach Blue started fooling around again, the entire fourth quarter was garbage time, how could there be any improvement~, it's really enough~"

Harden listened, sighing secretly.

"Because we lost 22 points in the first half, but we won by 4 points in the second half~"

Lan Shengli explained.

"Although the intensity of the garbage time game in the later stage has declined, as the game progresses, you have gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the playoffs. This is very important~!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"So in the next game, we will definitely do better~!!"

Lan Shengli encouraged the team members.

"Okay, let's analyze the video~"

Lan Shengli started to play the video clips and started talking.

"Actually, throughout the entire game, we still played what we should have on the offensive end. We created a lot of good shots, but the shooting rate was a little lower, but as long as the tactics can run out, I believe that sooner or later you will take the ball. Put it in~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to encourage.

"But our defense in this game is very poor, very poor, very poor~!!!"

After the encouragement, Lan Shengli's tone immediately became serious.

"When each of you faces each other on the court, the body language you give is like letting you shoot casually, and you can't get in anyway~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to reprimand sharply.

"Our defensive intensity is not like the playoffs, it's more like the preseason~!!"

Listening to Lan Shengli's reprimand, the players all lowered their heads.

"When preparing for this series before, I said, don't underestimate the Nuggets, don't underestimate the Nuggets~!!, don't think that without Anthony and Billups, the Nuggets are a soft persimmon. Judging from one game, we are the soft persimmon~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Without Anthony's singles, the Nuggets play more overall and more teamwork~!"

So we can no longer look at the Nuggets through old eyes.

"We have already lost home court advantage by underestimating our opponents, and now I don't want to lose the series by continuing to underestimate them~"

Lan Shengli's serious tone made the team members feel the seriousness of the situation.

"I've talked too much today, I hope everyone can take it to heart, I know everyone has tried their best, worked hard, and are very tired, let's analyze the video as soon as possible, so you can go back and rest early~!"

Lan Shengli said, and pressed the play button.

"Haven't slept yet~?!"

After the video analysis session was over, Lan Shengli drove back home in a hurry, opened the door, and saw Mia sitting on the sofa, Lan Shengli said.

"I lost the first game of the playoffs. I must work overtime and have a meeting~ I must be hungry~ I just made egg fried rice~"

Mia looked at Lan Shengli and said.

"Maybe this is the meaning of home~!!, no matter how much ups and downs you have experienced outside, if you can have someone to cook a warm supper when you get home~, everything will be worth it~"

Lan Shengli put his arms around Mia and said.

"I will always be your most solid backing, forever~!!"

Mia smiled knowingly and said.

"It must be a lot of pressure to lose to the opponent~!"

Here, Lan Shengli was eating fried rice with eggs, and Mia asked beside him.

"Even if I win the game, there will still be pressure. Over the years, I have faced too many situations, so I have withstood all kinds of pressure, big and small, and it's nothing~"

Lan Shengli replied casually.

"Although I don't know much about basketball games, I can be a listener. If you have any complaints, dissatisfaction, or any thoughts in your heart, you can tell me~!!!, don't hold back~!! "

Mia responded.

"Haha~, do I look like someone who can't think about it~"

Lan Shengli listened, shook his head and said with a smile.

"If a person's mind is only full of complaints and dissatisfaction, then he will never be able to achieve success, because he will never calmly think about how to solve the problem~"

Lan Shengli responded with a serious expression.

"So I will never complain and be dissatisfied. It is meaningless to do that. After all, I did not do my best. I have the greatest responsibility for the team's fiasco~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"And I am indeed under a lot of pressure, but whether it comes from the management, the fans, or the pressure I put on myself, it will all be transformed into motivation~!! So, I am full now. I am full of motivation, and I am already full of infinite expectations for the next game~!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak with a firm expression.
