Chapter 1208 No longer "fear of Korea"

In order to find out why the general manager was fired, Lan Shengli called Ballmer.

During the phone call, Lan Shengli not only learned the reason for the general manager's dismissal: he belonged to Sterling's direct line, but also learned that he would continue to coach the Clippers next season.

Although the latter is good news for Lan Shengli, but because the dismissal of the general manager is already an irreversible event, Lan Shengli does not seem very happy.

What's more, it's regret for the dismissal of the general manager.

After finishing the call with Ballmer, Lan Shengli quickly chatted with the general manager.

"Then, what are your plans next~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Take a good rest and spend time with your family. In fact, I have been resting for a long time, haha~"

The general manager said with a smile.

"Don't think about me, think more about yourself. After all, it is still unknown whether you can stay in the team to coach next season. I really regret it now. I should have directly given you a three-year fully guaranteed contract. ~!!"

The general manager continued.

"You don't have to worry about this matter for me. I have been notified before that the team option of my contract has been implemented~"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Really~?!, haha~!!, congratulations to you~!!, you have to seize the opportunity, make good use of the next season, achieve better results, and strive for an extended contract extension, I think you have the ability~!"

said the general manager.

"I will work hard. I believe that with your ability as the general manager, you will soon be re-employed. It will be very fast~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Although I still feel a little pity, this is fate~, this is fate~, parting is the normal state of our life~"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh secretly.

Although it is very sad, but since I can return to the Clippers to coach next season, the stone in my heart is put down, and Lan Shengli should be able to devote more attention to the work of senior consultants.

Back to the Chinese team.

After three consecutive victories in the group stage, the Chinese team won a big victory in the quarter-finals of the knockout round and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

In the semi-finals, the Chinese team will face the old rival South Korea.

The history of the war between the Chinese team and the South Korean team can even make a movie.

The South Korean team has always been based on the Asian basketball world with the characteristics of "small, fast and flexible".

And the Chinese team, because of the mobile Great Wall generation after generation, occupies an absolute advantage in the interior, so it can be said that it is very restrained in the style of the Korean team.

Even though the South Korean team has generations of sharp shooters on the outside, after all, those who win the inside win the world. Therefore, the Chinese team has always been in a state of suppression in the confrontation between China and South Korea.

Especially in the era of Yao Ming, the Chinese team had the greatest advantage inside. Basically, every time they met the South Korean team, it was all kinds of "blood abuse".

However, with Yao Ming no longer following the team to compete in the Asian arena, coupled with the current "talent shortage" of the Chinese men's basketball team, the advantages that the Chinese team had over the South Korean team have disappeared.

Although in last year's Asian Games finals, the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team without Yi Jianlian, but looking at the past two years, whether it was a warm-up match or an official intercontinental match, when the Chinese team faced the South Korean team, It is still more about winning than losing.

So over time, the men's basketball team suddenly became "Korea-phobic" like men's football.

Carrying the burden of wanting to win and being afraid of losing, they have no way to show their true strength. In addition, the South Korean team has carried out some planning of foreign players, so that they have been strengthened to the greatest extent in terms of lineup and strength, so This time the two sides met in the semi-finals, it can be said that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

"In the past four matches, we lost three times to the South Korean team. In the one we won, we narrowly won by two points. It seems that we have no advantage when facing the South Korean team, but in fact, we have a great advantage. , very big~!!"

In the locker room before the game, Deng Huade said to the players.

"The South Korean team has high-quality shooters, and we also have them. The South Korean team has players with fine interior skills, and we also have them. The Korean team has quick offensive and defensive transitions and full-court pressing capabilities. We also have them. Advantages, our rebounding ability is not possessed by the South Korean team. Therefore, based on the above factors, we can win the South Korean team and we can enter the final~ Maybe the process will not be easy, but I believe that we will win in the end Yes, it must be us~!!"

Deng Huade continued to cheer for the players.

This is what Deng Huade is best at doing.

"Yang Dong-geun must be strictly monitored. He is the core of the Korean team's field control. He must not be allowed to deploy the ball comfortably. He must be pinched~!"

Here, Lan Shengli also reminded Liu Wei alone before the game.

After all, after the game started, Liu Wei and Liang Donggeun were facing each other.

While speaking, the "China-Korea War" has already begun.

"Chinese team, come on~!!!"

"The Chinese team must win~!!!"

Compared with the group stage, the sound of cheering and cheering in the semi-finals was louder and more violent.

"Swipe~!!!"

"Swipe~!!!"

"Swipe~!!!"

Amidst the cheers, the Chinese team started their attack with what the South Korean team is best at - three-pointers.

Zhu Fangyu, Liu Wei and Sun Yue hit three three-pointers successively, and immediately established the lead again.

"Swipe~!!!"

Here Jin Zhoucheng is facing his old opponent Wang Zhizhi, and he is also able to hit mid-range shots.

But Wang Zhizhi can also respond.

I saw Wang Zhizhi holding the ball and hitting Jin Zhoucheng with his back. After various fake moves and tentative steps, he turned over and shot a jumper.

"Swipe~!!!"

The ball passed by Jin Zhoucheng's fingertips and went into the net hollowly.

The Chinese team played a rare game with a high shooting percentage, and they also cracked the South Korean team's full-court pressing defense very well.

"When the opponent suddenly double-teams, here Yi Jianlian stands near the center line, then Zhu Fangyu serves, Liu Wei pretends to catch the ball to attract the defense, and Sun Yue actually catches the ball. This side can choose to give Yi Jianlian the midfield position. High point, or Da Zhi to make a positioning cover, in short, we must coordinate and improve the tacit understanding ~!!"

This was the tactic recommended by Lan Shengli to Deng Huade during training.

Deng Huade also quickly accepted and gave guidance to the players.

The men's basketball team used such a way of breaking the audience's pressure, which made the South Korean team's pressure repeatedly return without success, and also "lost the city gate".

"Duang~!!!!"

It's time for the alley-oop between Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian.

The Chinese team made the South Korean team lose their temper.

The men's basketball team that once "feared Korea" seems to be gone forever.
