ace marshal

Chapter 882 Looking forward to the next master-student duel

"Everyone must let go of the burden in your heart. I think you are playing very tight. The opponent's defensive aggressiveness is very strong, but we can also respond with aggressive offense~!!"

During the break between the Clippers and the Thunder in the third quarter, Lan Shengli said to the players.

At the end of the three quarters, the Thunder are already leading the Clippers by almost 20 points.

It is really difficult to recover 20 points in one quarter, so Lan Shengli did not make any technical and tactical requirements, just hoping that the players can play in a good competitive state.

"We are in a much better state in training than we are now. Let's think about the feeling in training. We can play the basketball that belongs to the Clippers. Don't take this game as a playoff card. This is just a regular season game, forget about the scoreboard, play ball by ball, cherish every round, come on~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to encourage.

Encouragement is encouragement. The Clippers players are really not in good condition. Perhaps this is also related to the short rotation of the team and the long playing time of several main players.

Game four.The Thunder maintains a point difference close to 20 points. Unlike the Clippers, who are in a state of wanting nothing this season, the Thunder want to make the playoffs and use their youth storm to sweep the entire league, so against Among the top eight teams, the Thunder's fighting spirit is extremely strong.

"There is still one quarter left, everyone must maintain the intensity of the game ~!!, this game must be won steadily, to consolidate our place in the playoffs, and strive for a better position ~!!"

Here Brooks is also reminding the players.

The game has basically entered garbage time in the last few minutes. Even if "forget the scoreboard", the Clippers have been powerless.

"Swipe~!!!"

"Papa papa~!!! Okay, it's beautiful~!!!"

Here Harden scored a difficult goal, and Lan Shengli still spared no effort to applaud and encourage.

For a rebuilding team, especially one focused on developing young players, there's no garbage time in any given game, no matter how far behind or how far ahead.

Every minute, every round, every second counts.

Because the Clippers have fewer rotation players, even in garbage time, they have sent many main players.

So the point difference was more or less recovered.

"Dum~!!!"

At the end of the game, 109:95, the Thunder beat the Clippers at home.

Lan Shengli was defeated in the first duel with his master Brooks.

In fact, before the game was over, to be precise, during the countdown, Lan Shengli and Brooks walked towards each other.

The two looked very calm and hugged each other tightly.

"Congratulations to the Thunder for winning a beautiful victory~!!, it seems that I have to continue to learn from Mr. Brooks, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli congratulated the gentleman first.

"I am looking forward to playing a good game with the Clippers with a full lineup. I believe that the Clippers are the sixth team in the Western Conference~!"

Brooks responded.

"Okay~!! I'm looking forward to it too~!!, next time I want you to congratulate me for winning, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to use a relaxed tone and said with a smile.

"Haha, don't even think about it~!!"

Brooks smiled, shook his head, and said.

"But to be honest, you have really become a qualified NBA head coach, and you will lead the Clippers to better results~!!"

Brooks suddenly said in a serious tone.

"Thank you Mr. Brooks for your recognition, and you too, I think the best coach of this season is yours~!!"

Lan Shengli immediately complimented him.

"Haha, good, remember to vote for me~!"

Brooks said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, wait for my call, if you are not in a hurry to leave Oklahoma City, let's get together in private~!!"

Brooks continued.

"Okay, 24 hours a day for you~!"

The two continued to talk, and it seemed that this simple conversation on the field was not very enjoyable.

"I thought you could get a triple-double~!"

After bidding farewell to master Brooks, Lan Shengli chatted with his apprentice Westbrook again.

Westbrook played 30 minutes in this game and scored a quasi-triple double of 18 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds.

"Don't you guys put water in order to prevent me from getting a triple-double~!!"

Westbrook frowned, looked at Lan Shengli with an exaggerated expression, grabbed Lan Shengli's arm with both hands, and asked.

"Haha, you guessed it all, it's amazing~!"

Lan Shengli also shook his head and smiled.

"The next time we meet again, I will definitely get a triple-double~!"

Westbrook continued.

"Okay, you take the triple-double, I will take it if you win the game~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"No, I want data and victory~!"

Even after chatting with Lan Shengli after the game, Westbrook maintained a very strong competitive spirit.

Perhaps this is why Westbrook works so hard on the court.

It is very important to maintain a strong competitive spirit at all times.

"Come on, I'm looking forward to seeing your performance in the playoffs~!!, let everyone see that the boy from UCLA is an absolute All-Star player in the NBA~!!!"

Lan Shengli also grabbed Westbrook's arm with both hands and continued to encourage.

"Okay, I will prove it to everyone, thank you, Coach Blue~!!"

Westbrook looked at Lan Shengli with a resolute expression, nodded and said.

At this moment, the two people suddenly had a feeling of sympathy.

After all, in the year they worked together at UCLA, they all left some regrets, and they all hope to use their current efforts to recover these regrets as much as possible.

After Lan Shengli said goodbye to Brooks and Westbrook, he left the arena.

"Everyone, don't deny your hard work because of the loss in this game. I have seen your hard work on the field and your fighting spirit. This is more important than the outcome of the game~!!"

Back in the locker room, Lan Shengli said to the players.

Perhaps it has been too long since such a disastrous defeat, and the winning streak has been terminated, the players are more or less disappointed from the expressions.

"Coach, I heard that the team is going to give up this season, and it's going to be a mess. Is this true~!"

Harden asked suddenly.

"Mr. Sterling's previous internal letter has already made it clear~!"

Lan Shengli responded immediately with a serious expression.
