Chapter 1227 Cooperation, win-win!
Seeing that the new season is about to start, the Clippers are also making final preparations.

In the training camp, Lan Shengli, Harper and Taylor checked the status of the players to see if they could still find treasure.

And the new boss Ballmer is not idle.

He has been looking for a new general manager for the team.

After all, the position of general manager is the most critical part of the entire management team.

Although I don't know when Ballmer started looking for it, it can be confirmed that Ballmer has found it.

Moreover, Ballmer told Lan Shengli the news.

"Oh~!!, I see, it won't be the Steve Kerr who once received an assist from the basketball god and hit a key goal~!!!"

With Ballmer's reminder, Lan Shengli quickly guessed this person.

That's right, it was the most reliable three-point shooter around Jordan back then, the seemingly weak white guard Cole.

Cole, who won 5 championships with the Bulls and Spurs, definitely has his own championship genes.

"So how did you think of looking for Cole~?!, what does he think of the Clippers and the job of general manager~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Well~, it's the result of the brainstorming of our entire management team. To tell you the truth, Cole is not the only candidate for our general manager. We have 4 candidates for the general manager. They are all excellent, and some of them are not players. Born, but he has been a manager in a league like the NFL for many years, so he has a lot of experience in managing teams, and a former player like Cole, who has won many championships, is a candidate. Said, the advantage is naturally more obvious ~, he understands the NBA better, and also knows how to build a championship team ~!!"

Ballmer responded.

"Yes~!!"

Lan Shengli nodded as he listened.

"I think that Cole can finally succeed in taking office, and Harper also said a lot of good things in it~!!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Haha~, I really can't hide anything from you~!"

Upon hearing this, Ballmer sighed immediately.

"You're right. Harper did strongly recommend Cole, but that's not the reason why we finally decided on Cole. The most important thing is that after I had a private chat with Cole, I believe I lost him~!!"

Ballmer continued.

"Although it's a little rash to inquire about your chat content, I'm really curious, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli said with a smile.

"It's nothing, there is no secret, of course I can share it with you, and it can be regarded as allowing you to understand Cole faster~"

Ballmer responded.

"Then I'm all ears, because I really didn't have any intersection with Cole before, and I didn't even talk, so I don't know much about some of his basketball philosophies and management ideas~, and what's more, he has a lot of ideas about the future. Work with me, what do you think~"

Lan Shengli said.

"Ok~, then I'll tell you~"

Ballmer said, recalling the conversation with Cole in the same room more than a week ago, or it could also be called an interview.

"I heard that you have an office in the team office building, but I didn't expect it to be true~ I have never seen any NBA owner do this~ You have created a precedent~"

After entering the office, Cole first spoke kindly.

This kind of praise is the most able to draw in interpersonal relationships.

"I spent 20 billion, no matter what, let me feel the feeling of being a boss again~, haha~!!"

Ballmer pursed his lips and said with a smile.

"The rich man's world is so good~"

Cole also shook his head and sighed.

"Tell me~, if you become the general manager of the Clippers, what should you do, or what should you do to make the Clippers go further and have more hope of winning the championship~?!"

Ballmer asked bluntly.

"Obviously, looking at any championship team in NBA history, they have gone through a long-term construction process before they can win the championship~ Just like skyscrapers, they are not built in a day at all~"

Cole responded.

"Especially as a player, after experiencing the two consecutive championships of the Bull Dynasty and the Spurs, I understand better that if we want to achieve long-term prosperity, we need to lay a solid foundation~"

Cole added.

"I understand what you said. Those words were often mentioned during the anniversary celebrations of Microsoft in the past, but there are not many people who can do it~!"

Ballmer responded.

"That's right~ Many things in this world are easier said than done~"

Cole responded.

"However, in the past few years, the Clippers have laid a very good foundation. The team has cornerstone players, experienced veterans, and certain combat players. This is a good match~"

Cole analyzed it.

"I saw that the Clippers have the opportunity to create a long-term win and the ability to compete for the championship ~!!, this is what I often mentioned when I was a commentator last season ~!!"

Cole continued.

"It may be that young players like Harden still need a certain amount of time to grow, but the game is the best training, as long as we can ensure that they develop in the right direction, and sign a few more players who are suitable for the team system~, I believe the Clippers will surely rise~!"

Cole continued speaking with a very certain tone.

"Then~, what do you think of the cooperation with Coach Blue, or what do you think of Coach Blue's ability~?!"

Ballmer continued to ask.

When Lan Shengli heard this, his eyes lit up. This was the question he wanted to hear the most.

"Bru has been coaching here for two years. Hill, Harden, George, and DeAndre were all selected by him to help the team, which shows that he is a coach with a discerning eye and is good at training young players. These I am very aware of the situation. I think that based on the current overall situation of the Clippers, Bruce is the most suitable coach~, and if I were the general manager of the team, I think that Bruce and I can cooperate and win-win. relationship~!!"

Cole responded.

Ballmer listened, nodding.

"We have many ideas that coincide. He advocates emulating the Spurs' offensive and defensive system. I was born in the Spurs, so I can't understand this point very well. Therefore, according to the tactics required by Coach Blue, I can help the team select the best team. The right person, or make the most correct deal~, and Bruce is a good listener, which I appreciate very much, which can make my communication with him easier, and I will teach him more With more experience in managing the team, he can let me, the general manager, do the most correct thing, so I think we have a cooperative and win-win relationship~!!"

Cole narrated.
