Chapter 1250

"I know that doing so may lead to fines from the league, but I am still willing to try~, I want to bring a better head coach to the Lakers~!!, and look forward to reaching a long-term cooperative relationship with Coach Blue ~!!"

After communicating with general manager Cole, Lan Shengli decided to give up the opportunity to meet with Kupchak, and instead called him back to explain his thoughts.

On the phone, Kupchak also directly expressed his thoughts.

"I am the head coach of the Clippers. What I want to do is to lead the Clippers to better results. Therefore, I am very grateful for your recruitment and your trust in me. Now I cannot promise you about the future. If it comes to the offseason and I become a homeless person, I think the Lakers will be a good time to choose~!!!”

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengli responded with a firm tone.

After both of them expressed their thoughts, they hung up the phone.

It is foreseeable that if the Clippers do not renew their contract with Lan Shengli in the offseason next summer, perhaps Lan Shengli will choose the Lakers.

And I believe that Kupchak will not just sit around like this. For the rest of the season, Kupchak will continue to look for candidates for a new coach.

Perhaps for the current head coach Mike Brown, his Lakers coaching career has entered the countdown stage.

"You're right not to see Kupchak, that's a very dangerous approach~!"

Here, Harper said to Lan Shengli after learning about the progress of the matter.

"Also, I want to remind you, Bruce, although Cole is my former teammate and has a good relationship with him, he is very scheming, you have to be careful~!!, the secrets he told you before If it’s the same, you have to judge carefully~!”

Harper continued to remind.

"I know~"

Lan Shengli nodded lightly and said.

"If, I mean, if the Clippers really don't renew my contract next season, and the Lakers hand me a contract, will you go with me~?!"

Lan Shengli looked at Harper with a serious expression, and asked a question.

"I don't think I will, because after you leave, the position of head coach of the Clippers will be mine~!!, haha~!"

Harper spoke in a serious manner at the beginning, but then changed his tone and started joking.

"Haha~, you bastard~, enough is enough~"

Lan Shengli shook his head, smiled, and sighed.

"But to be honest, the head coach of the Lakers is really much better than the head coach of the Clippers~!!, all aspects are good~!"

Harper said.

"What's so good~?!, anyway, they are all in Los Angeles, and they are all at the Staples Center~"

Lan Shengli frowned and asked.

"First of all, the exposure of the Lakers is higher, no one will hate living under flashlights every day, and second, I think the contract of the Lakers must be bigger than what the Clippers are offering~, and the most important point , There are not many opportunities to coach Kobe, Pau Gasol and other players~!!, what you took over was not Mike Brown's coach, but Zen Master's~!!"

Harper analyzed.

"It sounds like you have researched and are interested in the position of head coach of the Lakers. Maybe I can recommend you to Kupchak~!!"

Lan Shengli heard about it and responded.

"I have already planned the future for myself. There is only one way, and that is to help you help the Clippers win the championship, and then return to Lausanne College and campus basketball. That is where I am most needed~ !!"

Harper responded.

"It's so wonderful to have a place that keeps the door open for me~!"

Lan Shengli nodded and said.

"Forget it, I don't want to go so far away, it's more comfortable to live in the present~, get ready for the next game~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Yeah~, maybe this is just Kupchak's way of trying to disturb the morale of our army~, leave him alone~!!"

Harper responded, and the two began to study.

"Kupchak poached people to come to us~, this is crazy~, if I report this to the league office, he will definitely be fined~!!"

Here, in the process of reporting to Ballmer, Cole mentioned Kupchak's contact with Lan Shengli.

"After all, the two haven't met. If it was just a phone call, the league will not make any statement. Moreover, the new labor contract has just been negotiated. I don't think the league office has time to take care of other things now~"

Cole responded.

"Yeah~, then act like nothing happened~"

Ballmer sighed.

"But Bruce handled this matter very well~"

Ballmer continued.

"After all, we are now No. [-] in the Western Conference. Everyone should concentrate all their attention and focus on the good of this season~!!"

Ballmer continued to nod his head.

"Yes, but I think that since even a team like the Lakers has contacted Bruce so proactively, it shows that Bruce is really a sweet potato now~!!"

Cole said suddenly.

"Hmm, that makes sense~"

Ballmer heard, nodded and said.

"Now a young and promising head coach like Bruce is really in demand~ So, I think maybe we can really provide Bruce with an early renewal contract~ to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Bruce, It also allows Bruce to coach with peace of mind, so that our team can maintain a long-term stability~!!"

Cole suggested.

"I have thought about renewing Bruce's contract for a long time. I have already considered it about half a year ago when I confirmed the implementation of Bruce's last year's contract~"

Ballmer responded.

"Bru's performance in the team in the past two years must have been excellent, which is seen by everyone, but the reason why I have not renewed his contract is that I just don't want him to succeed too quickly, you know , if a young man obtains a stable life and a stable environment too early, it may not be a good thing~!!"

Ballmer continued to explain.

"You mean, renewing Bruce's contract in advance will easily cause him to become inflexible and creative in a comfortable living environment~?! Lost the fighting spirit, is that what you mean~?!"

Cole asked.

"Yes, when I was at Microsoft, I saw too many young and promising young people like Bruce, put them in honeypots, they were just ordinary employees, put them in a tense environment, Maybe they can do more~”

Ballmer said.
