Chapter 1228 Rebuild a Dynasty

Including Cole, a total of five people competed for the position of general manager of the Clippers.

The new boss, Ballmer, directly interviewed five people.

Among them, the interview with Kerr left the deepest impression on Ballmer.

It is precisely because of this that Ballmer finally chose Cole as the team's new general manager.

During the entire interview process, Cole's views on the cooperation with Lan Shengli made Ballmer most satisfied.

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

Ballmer asked.

"Bruce has been coaching here for two years. I think that in terms of the overall situation of the current Clippers, he is the most suitable coach~, and if I were the general manager of the team, I think I am the same as Bruce. Cooperation and win-win relationship~!!”

"We have many ideas that coincide with each other, and Bruce is a good listener,,,, so, I think we have a cooperative and win-win relationship~!!"

Cole narrated.

"That's right, I am indeed like this. Hearing what Cole said, I am really looking forward to cooperating with Cole~, haha~!!"

After listening to Ballmer's memories, Lan Shengli said with a smile.

"I think the two of you may really have some sparks~!!"

Ballmer responded.

"Maybe~"

Lan Shengli nodded and said.

"Tomorrow the team will hold a press conference for Cole's inauguration. If you are interested, you can go to the scene to have a look. I think~, you should still have a lot of doubts about Cole, and these doubts may be caused by those reporters. I will ask you all~"

Ballmer continued.

"Ok~, I'll go~"

Lan Shengli nodded and said.

"Harper, Cole~, our Clippers team is about to become the Bulls, haha~!!"

After leaving Ballmer's office, Lan Shengli thought and sighed.

At ten o'clock the next morning, in the press hall of the Clippers base, the new general manager Steve Kerr's inaugural press conference began on time.

Cole in a dark blue suit has come to the front desk.

The spiritual outlook, the confident and wise look, and the capable state of the whole person are the biggest characteristics of Cole.

Lan Shengli, wearing a baseball cap, sat very low-key in a corner of the press box, waiting for the press conference to start.

Here Ballmer first came to the stage.

"Today, I am very honored to officially announce that five-time NBA champion, Steve Kerr, will become the new general manager of our Los Angeles Clippers ~, his successful experience in the player era, and after retirement The scope of work, his professional attitude and professionalism, as well as his strong ability to manage the team, their ingenuity, and Cole's unique personality are all what our entire Clippers team needs, and it is also what the position of general manager needs. I'm so happy that Cole came to the team and became a member of us~!!"

Ballmer introduced.

Cole smiled brightly as he listened.

After all, it is not easy to get such high appreciation from the boss.

After the opening remarks, Ballmer and Kerr showed off a Clippers jersey with "Kerr" on it.

The two looked at the camera, smiling so brightly.

"Former CEO of Microsoft, former member of Bull Dynasty, such a combination is really pretty good~, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli looked at the two and sighed.

Soon, the Q&A session began.

"What made you choose to return to the position of general manager after one year~?!"

the reporter asked.

"I love the work of the commentary booth. I have a group of excellent colleagues and excellent commentary partners there. It is a kind of enjoyment to explain the game with them, but~, being able to return to a team again and serve as a general manager The position will always make you more excited~, at this moment in life, maybe there are not many challenging things to do~"

Cole responded.

"What is the difference between serving as the general manager of the Clippers this time and serving as the general manager of the Suns a few years ago? Which one is more challenging~?!"

The reporter questioned.

"Well~~, since they are both general managers, I think the challenges they face should be the same, there is no doubt about it~, but the Suns at that time were a team competing for the championship. Tadmire, Marion, Bell, and other outstanding players, also saw the pleasing running and shooting, so~, I think I just made some minor repairs at that time~”

Cole replied.

"But it's different now. The Clippers are mostly young players, and they are still on rookie contracts. There are still many uncertainties in the future. The team must plan for the future. My work looks more stressful~!!"

Cole continued.

"When Cole was a player before, his calm and overall view on the field can still be heard in his speech now~, this person's speaking level is indeed very high, and he has a natural leadership temperament~"

Lan Shengli listened and sighed.

"The Clippers changed their owners this summer and implemented the head coach's team option, but they didn't make any major changes to the lineup. After you took office, what changes will you make for the team~?!"

Another reporter started asking questions.

"Sometimes it is necessary to adapt to all changes with the same. Last season, the Clippers were the final Western Conference semifinals. This is closely related to the hard work of the players and the guidance of Coach Blue. Therefore, the Clippers are already On the right path, no need to make any big changes~ that's it~"

Cole responded.

"Being the general manager of a team for the second time, what expectations do you have for the future~?!"

The next reporter continued to ask questions.

"When I was a player, people said that I was very lucky. I won three championships with Jordan's Bull Dynasty and two championships with Duncan and Robinson's Spurs. It seems that these five championships should not belong to me~, That's because the people who said these words didn't see my efforts to create a dynasty, but this time, I want to prove this in the Clippers~ Since the new century, only the Lakers have completed three consecutive championships. After that, no team can achieve a dynasty, and now, the Clippers have the opportunity to do this, I want to help the Clippers create another dynasty~!!, that's it~"

Cole replied in a very firm tone.

"Wow~!!, the tone of this sentence is really not small~~"

Lan Shengli sighed immediately after listening.
