Chapter 1587 Fifth Year

"Looking back now, I feel quite unforgettable~!!, haha~, the feeling of winning the championship is really wonderful~"

Recalling the end of the Stankovic Cup, Lan Shengli sighed with an expression of enjoyment.

This championship is indeed too important for Lan Shengli.

"Then continue to work hard and win that coveted championship. I'm still waiting to wear the championship ring~!"

Mia said.

"That's for sure, dear~!!, that's my greatest wish now~!!"

Lan Shengli held Mia's hand and said.

"Is there anything else you want to ask~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Forget it, it's been so long to answer this question, let's go to bed early~ I have to go to work tomorrow~"

Mia responded.

"Yeah~, drink this last cup, sleep~!"

"Cheers, haha~!!"

The young couple enjoyed the last good time of the holiday.

They are all recharged and ready for the next more challenging journey.

The following season will also be the fifth year of Lan Shengli's coaching.

With a [-]-point back-style oil head, a dark blue striped suit, a white shirt, and a tie of the same color as the suit, Lan Shengli was ready to go to the team base early in the morning.

"The new season is about to start~"

Back at the long-lost Clippers base, Lan Shengli looked at the huge sign in the center of the square and sighed.

"Morning, Coach Blue~!"

Here "Afro" Taylor followed Lan Shengli to the team base.

After getting out of the car, Taylor yelled behind Lan Shengli.

"Morning~, why do you seem to be gaining weight again~?!"

Lan Shengli looked Taylor up and down, and said.

"The fat during the offseason is puffiness, which is harmless. After the season officially starts, I will definitely be able to return to the standard body~"

Taylor responded.

"It must be recovered~!!, after all, Harper has left our coaching staff now, you have to play a bigger role~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"Don't worry about that, it's absolutely fine, this offseason not only fed my stomach, but also fed my brain~!"

Taylor responded.

"By the way, who exactly will take over Harper's position~?!"

Lan Shengli asked suddenly.

"What did Cole say~?!"

Taylor asked back.

"Cole just said that the management will find a suitable candidate as soon as possible to fill the vacancy left by Harper, but he didn't tell me the scope of the target candidate~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"What's the trick of doing this~?!, I don't quite understand~"

Taylor shook his head, sighing.

"The new season is about to start, I guess I should tell you soon~, just wait~"

Taylor responded.

"Well~, I hope he will be a good person to get along with~"

"Totally agree~"

The two continued to chat and went directly to the training hall.

Since they hadn't been to the office for a long time, the two of them cleaned up first.

Before the official start of work, it is necessary to ensure a good working environment.

"You are quite busy this offseason. You are leading the Chinese team to play games, accepting interviews, and returning to Berkeley. Don't you have time to study the new season?!"

Tyler asked while cleaning.

"As long as you improve your productivity, there will always be time~"

Lan Shengli sorted out the file cabinet and responded.

"Okay~, then I want to listen to your analysis first. Who do you have the deepest impression on the summer league team~?!"

Taylor asked immediately.

"Not to mention, you really asked me this question. I really didn't pay much attention to this summer league, but after all, we are also a team that has just played in the finals~ Of course, we still have to focus on immediate combat power. Young people Players naturally don’t pay much attention to it~ Besides, our salary space is already very tight. Even if we find some good seedlings, we will definitely not be able to keep them in the future. It is tantamount to training others, so it is better to focus on On other things~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"A long-lost analysis~, haha~!!, I think everything is back~!"

Tyler laughed when he heard that.

"Of course, young players still need to pay more attention. Often the younger the player, the more he can play the role of a surprise player when the opponent has insufficient research on him~"

Lan Shengli added.

"It makes sense~ makes sense~"

Tyler nodded and said.

The two continued to organize the office.

"Swipe~!!!"

"Swipe~!!!"

"Swipe~!!!"

In the training hall, the clear sound of brushing blue can be heard endlessly.

I saw "Bearded" Harden on the field, accompanied by a trainer, practicing three-pointers.

The vest, which was originally black, looked even more "bright black" after being soaked in sweat.

The following season was not only Lan Shengli's first year, but also Harden's fifth year as a player in the 09 class.

It is the first year of Harden's new contract.

Last season, Harden played an explosive state in the "contract year", averaging 23.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game. With his performance, the Clippers management will complete the contract extension ahead of schedule.

Harden will wear a Clippers jersey for at least four years.

But last season's finals were not so friendly to Harden.

Because of the targeted defense by the Heat, Harden's data has shrunk severely. After five games, he can only get 16.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Compared with the regular season, it is indeed a big discount, and the shooting rate is also very unsatisfactory.

The two-pointers are only 35.7%, and the three-pointers are only a horrible 22.1%. The shrinkage of these data has caused the Clippers to lose an important scoring point.

Not only the offense, but Harden's defensive problems were infinitely magnified in the finals.

Whether facing Wade or Chalmers, Harden can't prevent breakthroughs, and he can't keep up with open long shots without the ball.

After such a back and forth, after the Heat tasted the sweetness, they will naturally target it more.

So this offseason, Harden also hired a new trainer, and also specifically consulted Kobe Bryant, who is recovering from his injury.

If Harden can have Kobe's "Mamba spirit", it will be an all-round upgrade.

"Hey~, very positive~!!"

Here Lan Shengli suddenly opened the door of the arena, looked at Harden, and said.

"Long time no see, Coach Blue~, do you want to practice with me~!?"

Harden responded simply, continuing to make long shots.

"Swipe~!!"

Hollow hit again.
