Chapter 1222 Direct Conversation with the New Boss (Part [-])
"Wow~!!, I read that right~!!, This,, isn't this our head coach Victory Blue~!!"

In the office building at the Clippers base, Jordan stopped Lan Shengli, who was in a hurry, and asked.

"Hi~, I haven't had plastic surgery, so I shouldn't be so surprised~!"

Lan Shengli raised his head, looked at Little Jordan, and said.

"I thought you were going to come again when the regular season started~"

Jordan Jr. responded.

"Haha~, how is that possible, but looking at your figure, you have gained a lot of meat in the summer~!!, can you gain 20 pounds~?!"

Lan Shengli touched Jordan's strong biceps and said.

"Haha~!!, next season, I will dominate the inside~!"

Jordan flexes his biceps and laughs.

"Haha~!!, then I really look forward to it~!"

Lan Shengli responded with a smile.

"By the way, what are you doing here~?!, shouldn't you be attending a training camp in the training hall~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to ask.

"Next is the last year of my rookie contract. I found an agent to discuss the contract renewal with the team. However, because the team's new general manager has not yet arrived, the contract renewal is temporarily delayed. I can only shelve it~!!"

Jordan Jr. responded.

"Oh~, that's it~, I understand~!!, without the general manager, many things are really inconvenient~!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Yeah~, what about you, Coach Blue~, what's going on with you now~?!, why don't you go directly to host the training camp~?!, oh~!!, I see, you are also in the last year of your contract ~!!, so, I also want to renew the contract in advance, right~!!"

Little Jordan looked at Lan Shengli with a provocative expression and asked.

"Haha~, it seems that our big center is not only stronger, but his IQ has also increased. Congratulations, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli responded with a smile.

"Let's not talk about it~, I still have business~, see you at the training camp~!"

As Lan Shengli said, he walked straight away.

"Really, I already said that the new general manager hasn't come yet, so what are you doing~, hey~"

Upon seeing this, Little Jordan shook his head and sighed.

It seems that Jordan's IQ has not really improved.

During the conversation, Lan Shengli came to Ballmer's office, and the two chatted.

"From a senior Chinese teacher at Berkeley to an NBA head coach, this is the most exaggerated cross-industry I have ever seen in my life~!!"

"You know, there are many coaches in the NBA. They have worked in the development league or as an assistant coach for 10 or even 20 years, but they have not made it to the head coach position, but you~, a guy from Asia, Huang A Chinese with dark skin and hair has become the youngest coach in the history of North American sports. I think there must be many reasons for this~”

Ballmer first praised Lan Shengli.

"Yeah~, now that I think about everything I've experienced in the past two years, it's really incredible~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed as he listened.

"So, are you satisfied now~?!"

Ballmer continued to ask.

"Satisfied~?!, I will never be satisfied~!!, especially after experiencing such a regretful result last season, I am even more unsatisfied. I know the potential of our team, and Knowing the heights we can reach, I just want to make up for some regrets when I come back here~!!"

Lan Shengli responded with a firm tone.

"Crack clap clap!!!"

"I like your way of speaking very much, direct, straightforward, and full of content, it makes people sound so excited~!!"

Ballmer clapped his hands and responded.

"So, let me continue to listen to your vision for the team in the new season, as well as your preparations during your time in China~!!"

Ballmer continued.

"That might be a little long~"

Lan Shengli responded immediately.

"Make sure you can finish the lecture before five o'clock, because I'm afraid you won't be able to pay my overtime pay~!!"

Ballmer said with a smile.

"Haha~, if I have the opportunity to pay a billionaire, I would be very happy~!"

Lan Shengli also responded with a smile.

"Ahem~, then we'll start~!!"

Lan Shengli coughed, took out a notepad from his bag, and the speech time was coming.

"First of all, let's talk about some operations of our team during the offseason~"

Lan Shengli flipped through the notepad and said.

"First of all, in terms of player changes, because the five starting players are still in the rookie contract, there is no contract renewal. If there are no other accidents, the five players will continue to stay in the team, but it needs to be noted Yes, both DeAndre Jordan and Hill are in the last year of their rookie contracts. According to their draft rankings at the time, they have the right to renew their contracts with the team in advance, but I heard that because the new general manager has not Come on, so the contract renewal will be put on hold for a while. From this point of view, we must hurry up, because if we cannot complete the contract renewal in advance and fail to trade it, then next summer, these two people are likely to The big contracts from other teams are taken away~!!"

Lan Shengli analyzed it.

Ballmer listened, nodding.

"After all, we have to keep a certain amount of salary space to ensure the existence of the core lineup of Harden, George Harden Love ~!!, we have to be able to sign three maximum salary contracts ~, because they are the Clippers The upper limit is also the most important puzzle for the team to win the championship~!!, the cornerstone player~!!, and it is not for sale~!!"

Lan Shengli continued.

"Renewing three top-salary players at one time, our salary space will be very difficult. I don't care about paying some luxury taxes, but if we do this, the risk is too great~!!"

Ballmer listened, and replied in a serious and serious tone.

"I am also aware of this. I think that three top-salary players, plus some of our other cost-effective players, can also form a very strong lineup, and maybe you don't have to pay the luxury tax~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Bru, after listening to what you said, I have an idea~!!"

Ballmer looked at Lan Shengli and his expression became relaxed.

"Oh~?!, what do you think~?!"

Lan Shengli asked curiously.

"I think the position of general manager is more suitable for you, haha~!"

Ballmer laughed.

"Hahaha~!!!, I don't mind the head coach being the general manager at the same time~, many head coaches in the NBA now hold other positions concurrently, but it seems too risky to be the general manager~!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"So ah~, you'd better be the head coach with peace of mind~!!"

Ballmer nodded and said.
