Chapter 923 Vacant Assistant Coach

"This is my resignation letter~"

In the Clippers general manager's office, the team's chief assistant coach suddenly submitted a letter of resignation, which surprised the general manager.

After all, in the previous season, when the old coach Dunleavy stepped down, the old coach said that he would assist Lan Shengli for a long time.

But this "long-term" period seems to be only one year.

"Have you really thought about it~?!"

The general manager still tried to ask.

After all, every team wants to have an experienced and highly qualified coach in the coaching bench.

"Since the end of the season, I have started to think about this matter. I have listened to the advice given to me by my family and my inner thoughts. Considering everything, I don't think I have the desire and motivation to play with the team anymore. I hope The team can give up the option for the last year of my contract, which can be regarded as letting me go home~”

The old coach said in a sincere tone.

"Of course, as a coach who has made great efforts and sweat for the team over the years, I will certainly respect your decision. I hope you can enjoy your retirement life in the future~!!, I wish you good health~! !"

The general manager responded.

Although the general manager said so, he soon found Lan Shengli and explained the situation.

Lan Shengli obviously still hoped that the old coach could come back, and the general manager also kept an open mind about it, so Lan Shengli quickly found the old coach.

But when Lan Shengli saw the white-haired old coach bending over and slowly arranging his belongings, Lan Shengli suddenly lost the idea of ​​trying to keep him.

Perhaps this scene made Lan Shengli feel that the old coach really needs to enjoy life.

"After the old coach Dunleavy left, I am really happy and honored that you can continue to play in the team for one more season and help me grow and be my assistant coach~!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"If I were to change to another coach, I might not want to be an assistant coach anymore, but you are different, and after this season's training, I think you can become a truly independent head coach of the team. That’s why I chose to leave the team~!”

As the old coach spoke, he praised Lan Shengli.

Originally, Lan Shengli came to keep the old coach, but it turned out to be the time to say goodbye to the old coach.

"Come on, the future of you and the team is very bright, and I also believe that there will be someone more suitable than me to be your assistant coach~!"

The old coach who finished packing his things patted Lan Shengli on the shoulder and said.

"I will work hard, and I will definitely make the Clippers rise~!"

Lan Shengli responded with a very serious expression.

"I'll send you off~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"No need, I can do it by myself, just do your own thing, don't send me off, I just want to leave in such a low-key way, it's good~!!"

The old coach said.

"Well, I will visit you when I have time, and I will visit you~!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Okay~, I hope you will come with the O'Brien Cup, haha~!"

The old coach said with a smile.

"Haha~!! In this way, it will be very difficult for me to visit within a year~"

Lan Shengli listened and responded with a smile.

In this way, Lan Shengli watched the old coach leave the office, the team base, and the Clippers.

"It's still the same sentence, the plan never changes quickly, I still want to discuss with the old coach about George's situation, the result~, hey~"

Lan Shengli sat down, shook his head, and sighed.

"Hey~, forget it, don't think about it~, the old coach has helped me and the team a lot, maybe if it were me, I would not be a coach anymore~"

Lan Shengli shook his head, looked around the room, and sighed.

"Sorry, general manager, I, I couldn't keep the old coach~"

Back in the general manager's office, Lan Shengli said to the general manager.

"It doesn't matter, judging by the state of the old coach, he is also determined to leave, so we don't want to force him to stay, and I also believe in you, we can continue to lead the coaching staff~"

The general manager said.

"Well~, but, the position of the chief assistant can't be so vacant all the time~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"That's true, what do you think~?!, is there any good candidate~?!"

the general manager asked.

"Because the old coach's resignation really happened too suddenly, so suddenly I was asked to find someone to fill the position of the old coach. It's actually quite difficult. Let me think about it~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Don't worry, it's your chief assistant after all, so you have to think more seriously and carefully. I believe you will find someone more suitable than the old coach~"

The general manager responded.

"Your words are exactly the same as what the old coach said~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

"It would be difficult if I relied on myself alone. After all, I don't have a very wide network in the NBA. Although I also understand the tactical characteristics and ideas of other team coaches, I am not sure whether our match is suitable~ , and apart from the head coach, I don’t even know the assistant coaches of other teams~”

Lan Shengli responded.

"We have scouts and a basketball affairs department, so don't worry~"

The general manager said.

"I mean, maybe we can dig some talents with more potential internally to fill this position~"

Seeing that the general manager didn't understand what he meant, Lan Shengli said immediately.

"Oh oh oh~, you mean that you want an internal competition~?!"

The general manager listened, nodded immediately, and asked.

"That's right, it's an internal competition. I hope that I can dig out from within the team like the previous competition for the head coach~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Doing this can ensure that the new chief assistant is still someone we know well, and will quickly reach a tacit understanding with the coaching staff. This will also improve work efficiency, and I think this can stimulate the enthusiasm of the team's internal staff. and fighting spirit, let them see the opportunity for promotion~!!, kill two birds with one stone~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Hearing what you said, it seems that there is already a clear candidate~?!"

After listening to the general manager, he savored the words carefully.

"It's hard to say who the candidates are, but there are probably a few that I think I can try and let them try~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Okay, let's put this matter back for now. After all, the draft is the most important thing at the moment. After the draft is over, we will decide on the assistant coach~!"

The general manager responded.
