Chapter 1432 Another old coach who left without saying goodbye

In the basketball arena of the University of California, Irvine, there are crowds of people, and the NBA preseason game between the Clippers and the Grizzlies is going on here.

After the Clippers' starting players started, they played impressively. The "Gold Medal Brothers" played like a dream team player, with three-point steals and fast breaks.

However, when Lan Shengli went up and down and wanted to check the status of the substitute players, the problem was immediately exposed.

On the offensive end, the coordination is rusty and the methods are single. There are also many problems on the defensive end. Even low-level mistakes such as defending for three seconds often occur. This kind of performance makes Lan Shengli very worried.

"As I said just now, we need to communicate more~!!, talk~!!, explain to them, don't defend 2-3, defend 3-2 zone defense, it doesn't matter if you let go of the inside~!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Grizzlies to penalize the defense for three seconds, Lan Shengli immediately called Landry and Robin aside, and immediately gave instructions.

Perhaps such on-the-spot instructions can make the players remember more.

The game continues~

"Hey~!!, your positions are too heavy~!!"

"Be more confident when shooting. Don't worry about your shooting percentage or where you are. Just go for it. You must be confident when you shoot~!"

Lan Shengli also continued to exhort.

The state of the five substitute players is gradually getting better and better, with more and more cooperation on the offensive end and more and more echoes on the defensive end.

"Are you going to use five up and five down after the start of the season~?!"

The game continued, Lan Shengli sat down to drink water, and here Harper asked.

"At some point in the season, I might do that, who knows~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and said.

"What I mean is, after all, in a normal rotation, there should be two main players or three main players with two or three substitutes to play. Maybe we should play according to the rotation method of the regular season~"

Harper reminded.

"In that case, maybe we will have greater training value~!!"

Harper continued.

"I know this, but after all, this is only the first game of the preseason. It is very necessary for these main substitute players to play together to find the feeling~"

"Don't worry, the ups and downs are just accidental, and there won't be any in the future~"

Lan Shengli responded.

The game went on very quickly, and the first half of the game was over.

"Everyone did three things well in the first half. First, they protected the backcourt rebounds very well. Second, they controlled the number of turnovers well. Third, everyone quickly entered the game state. This shows that you have played well this summer. I worked hard to prepare for the game~”

In the locker room, Lan Shengli said.

"However, there are three points that I did not do well. First, I missed a lot of free throws. It may be because some people are not used to this basket. I understand that some of your offensive choices are not very good, and some irrational situations will inevitably occur in a flash, so this requires everyone to slow down the offensive position and fight slowly~”

Lan Shengli continued to remind.

"The last bad thing is that we have too few assists, and most of our goals are scored alone. This is not good, we must let the ball run fully. In the second half, we mainly played,,,,"

Lan Shengli continued to analyze and explain.

The second half of the game will soon begin.

"The second half mainly records the performance of the substitute players, especially a few fringe players. The position of the substitute point guard really needs to find a more suitable person to play~"

Here, Lan Shengli turned his head and said to the player development coach Taylor sitting in the second row.

Tyler chewed his gum, opened his notepad, and nodded.

In the second half of the game, Lan Shengli also gave the marginal players on the bench, especially some two-way contract players a lot of playing time.

Focus on the guard position.

After all, the team now has only Billups as a true point guard.

There used to be a tall, experienced guard like Livingston, but now you really can't find such a player.

Therefore, before the start of the regular season, finding a suitable No. [-] substitute for the team is now the most important task for Lan Shengli.

Here, Taylor is also watching the game intently and recording it intently.

While speaking, the game will soon end, the outcome is not important, what matters is whether the players have entered the game state.

After the game, the players went straight back to the hotel.

"Bru, this is a letter from the teaching assistant, please read it~"

Not long after returning to the hotel here, Harper gave Lan Shengli a "surprise".

"What do you mean, why does it feel like leaving without saying goodbye~?!"

Lan Shengli frowned, looked at the envelope, and became puzzled.

"Let's take a look first and then talk~, I'm not sure what's going on~"

Harper responded.

Still frowning, Lan Shengli opened the envelope.

"Dear Coach Blue, I'm sorry for saying goodbye in this way. Something very difficult happened in my family, and I have to go back and deal with it immediately, and I don't know how long it will take to deal with it, so I can only resign from my position as an assistant coach. I hope You can understand that I have already greeted the general manager and others, and the management has also agreed to my resignation application. I am honored to have cooperated with Coach Blue in the past two years, and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future~!!"

Lan Shengli read the letter and basically understood what it meant.

"What happened to his family~?!, what's going on~?!"

Although Lan Shengli finished reading the letter, he was still very puzzled.

"I'm not sure about this, but the old coach has long thought of leaving the team. Maybe it's because he's old and doesn't want to fight with the team~"

Harper responded.

The assistant coach who wrote this letter is the coach responsible for the team's offense in Lan Shengli's assistant coaching team. He has very rich coaching experience. The status of a teaching assistant.

The industry is also relatively prestigious. Such an old coach's sudden resignation is very similar to the resignation of the old chief assistant.

Especially before the start of the new season, such a situation is really tricky.

"Nostalgia is nostalgia, now we need to hurry up and fill the vacant position left by him~"

Lan Shengli put down the letter and said.

"I recommend one~?!"

Harper tried to speak.

"Okay~?!, who~?!"

When Lan Shengli heard this, he immediately asked with wide eyes.

"Based on the suddenness of the situation, it is obviously unrealistic to find an assistant coach in charge of offense~~"
