Chapter 1477 The third trip to the playoffs
"Next, I will invite the Clippers press officer—Ms. Mia~"

Under the introduction of the Clippers' public relations staff, Mia, the team's newly hired press officer, came to the stage.

A black lady's slim-fit suit with a purple shirt looks very independent.

Light makeup and ponytails still look capable.

With her fast pace and cold expression, Mia looked more like a seasoned press officer.

If the whole background is in the White House, you can say that Mia is a diplomat.

That aura is really strong.

When she came to the speech platform, Mia immediately flipped through the speech and began to announce some recent decisions of the team.

"The Los Angeles Clippers announced a strategic partnership with three companies from China,"

"The Los Angeles Clippers will further improve their cooperation with the Newwood community in order to seek a more long-term cooperation in the future~"

One news after another was announced from Mia's mouth.

Mia's tone and state fully interpreted the authority of the news itself.

"Although the team has secured a place in the playoffs, it is not prepared to use rotations to prepare for the playoffs, unless it encounters some real injuries~"

Finally, there is a piece of news about the Clippers themselves.

"Will the team choose to rest after locking the home court advantage in the first round~?!"

After such news was released, of course it attracted questions from the reporters.

Announcing the news is commonplace for a press officer. The real test is actually the on-the-spot torture from the reporters.

Because the answers of the press officers basically represent the team's position, which is a great responsibility.

It is obviously not easy to guarantee the interests of the team and answer questions comprehensively.

"No, because the Clippers have always been committed to maintaining competitiveness every night, so this situation of rotation will hardly occur, unless we have already secured the number one record in the league ~, in that case, Maybe it will be different~"

Mia's answer basically satisfied the two requirements mentioned earlier.

The interests of the team are guaranteed, and the answers are very comprehensive.

"Haha~!!, she is my daughter-in-law~!!, you understand me too well~, you are right~!"

Lan Shengli, who was secretly watching Mia's speech in the background, sighed.

"Perhaps it is really suitable for your lover to be the press officer~"

Cole on the side also sighed.

"Huh~?!, why do you say that~?!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengli immediately turned his head and asked.

"Because you know each other well enough, this makes Mia's answer more professional and more able to represent you and the team's true point of view~"

Cole responded.

"Well~, what you said makes sense~, haha~"

Lan Shengli nodded and laughed.

Mia's job has stabilized, and Lan Shengli has no worries.

Can fully prepare for the upcoming playoffs.

Mia had already said it in the press conference before.The Clippers have locked up a playoff spot.

But this is clearly not enough.

Of course, the Clippers want more.

The team's condition is getting better and better. The key is that there are no hidden dangers of injuries. The health of all members is the most critical.

Soon, after the Clippers beat the Golden State Warriors 108:101 in an away game, they officially locked in the top four spots in the Western Conference.

But it's not over yet. What the team wants to do most is to catch up with the Oklahoma City Thunder, another youth guard that has been ahead of them.

But chasing the Thunder is not so easy.

After all, the gap of 2.5 wins is there. As the regular season draws to a close, the gap will be even bigger.

In the end, the Clippers still failed to win the Western Conference championship in the regular season, ranking No. 59 in the Western Conference with a record of 23 wins and 2 losses.

It is even more regrettable to miss the No.1 in the Western Conference. Perhaps it is not able to get 60 wins in the regular season.

After all, there was only one game left.

However, 59 wins and 23 losses are already the best result of the Clippers in more than ten seasons.

It is also the best record in the regular season since Lan Shengli's coaching career.

As for the 60 wins, Lan Shengli, as a young coach, still has many opportunities to win in the future.

The Clippers have reached the playoffs for three consecutive seasons.

Last season, the Clippers were united, but because of the "recording gate" incident of former owner Sterling, they were reversed and eliminated by the defending champion Dallas Mavericks.

The team was also full of ambitions last season, but still lost in the face of numerous injuries.

Especially the injuries of several main players have greatly reduced the strength of the team.

The Clippers have been going smoothly since the regular season this season, and the team basically has no serious injuries. Perhaps this time, the Clippers can really hit a further goal.

"The third trip to the playoffs is coming~, I hope this time, there will be fewer other factors, and more basketball factors~!!"

Lan Shengli sat in the office, staring at the messy tactical board in front of him, and said with a firm expression.

Maybe this time, Lan Shengli can really do well and flex his muscles without any worries.

"Gentlemen~, May is coming soon. Playing in the NBA, I think you all know a truth, that is, those who can win from April to May, and finally win until June, are the real ones. Winner~!!, we won until May, but we haven’t been able to experience the feeling of playing in the NBA in June~, this year~, I hope to be able to feel it with everyone~!!”

In the first training session to prepare for the playoffs, Lan Shengli looked at the players with a serious expression and said.

"I've experienced what it's like to win in June~"

Here Butler suddenly followed up.

Of course, Butler was talking about his experience with the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 Finals.

Although Butler did not play in any of the finals due to injury, it is also very good to be able to "lie down" and win a championship.

"I have experienced it too~!!, and it still feels like winning four games~!!"

His former Mavericks teammate, Brewer, who also "lay down" to win the championship, immediately followed up.

"Not only did I experience winning four games in June, but I also experienced the feeling of being the Finals MVP~"

Billups, the real "big guy in the finals", finally spoke.

"Hahaha~!!, it seems that our lineup this year has a lot of experience in the playoffs and even the finals~!!, they are not simple characters~, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli listened and responded with a big smile.
