Chapter 251 Lan Shengli's "Property"

When Lan Shengli was interviewing the Clippers before, if he hadn't written the names of Kaman and others on the last question, maybe he wouldn't have provoked a few people.

Even if Kaman and Lan Shengli had conflicts before, it would not make Kaman determined to "get rid of" Lan Shengli.

But because of that question, Lan Shengli offended Mobley and quickly ended his career with the Clippers.

And that answer sheet has also become a "property" left by Lan Shengli to the Clippers.

Of course, in addition to that answer, there are also many materials such as scouting reports, work plans, and so on.

These are what Lan Shengli left for the Clippers.

With the Clippers losing to their city rivals the Lakers in the last round of the regular season, the team also withdrew from the playoffs.

The No.9 result in the Western Conference obviously made fans and management very difficult to be satisfied.

Maybe Los Angeles fans are all Lakers.

But if the Clippers want to find a sense of presence in Los Angeles, they must improve the team's strength.

The management may also think that if the team wants to make a difference in the offseason, it must make a plan.

At the end of the season, that is, on the third day after losing to the Lakers, the management organized the team's coaching staff and some players, and held a season summary meeting.

While summarizing the season that has just passed, it is more important to look forward to the next season.

In the office building of the Clippers base, there are about 30 people sitting in the huge conference room.

There are old coach Dunleavy, two assistant coaches, and Brand and Cassell. These two people should be the player representatives.

In terms of management, the general manager and some leaders from other departments attended. Of course, there was Brooks, the scout representative.

Everyone gathered together, it can be considered as a "patient" of the Clippers to take a good pulse and prescribe the medicine.

"Everyone is here, we are going to have a meeting, please turn your phone to vibrate, thank you for your cooperation,"

Every meeting, the general manager will be a guest host, and this time is no exception.

"Today, a 2006-2007 season summary meeting is held here. For the past season, our Clippers' performance will be summarized. I hope everyone will actively share your summary, or this season. We will consolidate our strengths where the team has performed well this season, and find out where we have performed poorly and where we need to improve, so that the team can improve to a higher level next season. Work hard~!!!"

The general manager said, which can be regarded as the opening remarks of the summary meeting.

After the general manager finished his opening remarks, in fact, we can see their attitudes towards this summary meeting from the different states of the participants.

The management staff are preparing their own speech materials, and they seem to be quite positive. The old Dun Levy and other coaching staff are chatting as if they are reminiscing with each other, and they don't seem to care much about this summary meeting.

And Kassel and Brand seemed to be asleep, and they were even more indifferent to the meeting.

But Brooks is also actively preparing.

"Let me summarize first,,,"

The general manager picked up his speech and started talking.

"Before, the goal we set for the team this season was to at least reach the playoffs, preferably to have home court advantage, but we are only ranked No.9 in the West, but there is one thing we cannot deny, that It is the gap between us and the top teams, that is, the difference in wins is not very large, that is to say, the gap between us and these playoff teams is not unreachable. Based on this, I think our Clippers’ current strength is sufficient, as long as we prepare well and strengthen some weak positions, I think next season has a good chance to hit the playoffs~!!”

The general manager said.

It seems that the general manager doesn't want the team to start rebuilding directly now.

After all, the reconstruction of No.9 in the West may be more difficult than those real teams.

"When did this guy become so eloquent,,, and analyze well,,,"

Old Dunleavy listened and sighed.

"Next, let me say something,,,"

Here old Dunleavy put on his glasses, looked at the speech, and started talking.

"Since the team's management means to continue to maintain competitiveness and continue to hit the playoffs, then I think that, judging from the current team's personnel structure, next season may face greater practical difficulties,"

Old Dunleavy also seems to have a lot of preparations.

When Brand and Cassel heard this, they instantly woke up and listened with pricked ears.

After all, this concerns the interests of two people.

"Dun Levy doesn't want to talk about that, does he?"

Hearing the old Dun Levy's tone, the general manager became puzzled.

Old Dunleavy said, turned on the projector, held a laser pointer, and started talking with the PPT prepared in advance.

"You can take a look, this is the age structure of our five starters this season,"

Old Dunleavy said, and everyone looked at the projector.

I saw on the PPT, it said:

Chris Kaman: 25 years old

Elton Brand: 28 years old

Corey Maggette: 28 years old

Cuttino Mobley: 32 years old

Sam Cassell: 38 years old

"The age structure of our strikers is perfect, and Kaman still has some room for improvement, but everyone should be able to see at a glance that the combined age of our two defenders is already 70 years old, which really seems a bit too old. ,,"

Regardless of Cassel's presence, old Dunleavy said bluntly.

"Damn it, this old man actually made this thing to mock me~!!!"

Cassel saw this, although his face was still calm, but his heart was full of resentment.

"Of course, we all know the role of Kassel, and I really hope that Kassel can stay in our Clippers and join our coaching staff~!!"

Old Dunleavy immediately explained.

It can be regarded as Kassel eased the embarrassment at the moment.

Cassel also smiled wryly after hearing this.

This feeling is called a slap, give a sweet date.

"Isn't this the topic that Bruce talked about before,,, I didn't expect Coach Dunleavy to move it directly to the table. It's really courageous,,,"

The general manager looked at it and sighed.

"This is what I have always wanted to say, but I dare not say it. Thank you, Coach Dunleavy. By the way, I also want to thank Bruce. Although he is no longer in the team, the property left behind is very precious. ~!!"

The general manager continued to sigh.

"Hmph, today I'm going to take this opportunity of the summary meeting to completely eradicate you~!!!"

Old Dun Levy still looks respectful on the surface, but he is indeed "smug" in his heart.
