Chapter 971 Player Development Coach
Although Lan Shengli only has the position of team head coach in the Clippers now, he has also held many unnamed jobs.

Assisting Taylor in recruiting free agents is one of them.

And the effect is very good. Under the recruitment of Lan Shengli, many powerful free agents have joined.

The team has successively introduced Livingston, Bass, Farmar, Delfino, and of course Milicic, who was previously acquired from the Timberwolves, and the pitcher Novak who still has a contract. This is basically the Clippers The team's main rotation for the new season.

This kind of rotation lineup also highlights one word, that is "stable".

Every player has been in the league for a certain period of time and has a certain ability, whether it is offensive or defensive~

Simple and unpretentious, but with very strong immediate combat power and certain game experience, these are the two most important points for the current Clippers.

"In this way, we have Bass and Milicic on the inside who can pull out to shoot. Although Bass' shooting distance is not very far, Milicic has no idea how much desire to play basketball, but After all, we have to think in a good direction~”

Lan Shengli sat in his office, looking at the signing list and analyzing it.

"As for the striker, we have strengthened Delfino and Livingston. Although I want to transform Livingston into a point guard, but his height is there, and there must be no problem playing the third position~
Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"For the guard, Farmar may not have much playing time, but his experience and the winning culture brought from the Lakers are very critical and important~!! That is in It can’t be shown in the game~”

"I believe they are the best additions to the Clippers today~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Hill-Harden-George-Love-Jordan will be the team's starting lineup for the new season~ Although this lineup may be the youngest starting lineup in NBA history, it is also full of many possibilities. Sex~!!, I also believe that they will get better and better, I believe they will be united as a team, I am really looking forward to the new season more and more, and I am looking forward to fighting side by side with these guys~!! "

Lan Shengli continued to laugh and sigh.

"Coach Bruce, thank you for coming back, otherwise I really don't know what to do~"

Here Taylor came to Lan Shengli's office suddenly and said.

"Haha~, what's the matter~, we are all for the Clippers to have good results, so this job must not be divided between each other~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"But having said that, I think you not only have the potential to become a top NBA head coach, you also have the potential to become an NBA general manager, haha~!!"

Taylor said half-jokingly.

"Haha~, don't let the general manager hear this sentence, or I might lose my head coach seat~!"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed with a smile.

"I'm serious~ If one day you change from an NBA head coach to a general manager, I will definitely not be surprised, then you will really be a legend in the history of American sports, haha~!! "

Taylor continued with a smile.

"Don't flatter me, but you, through my observation of your work situation over the past year, I think you have the potential to be an NBA coach~"

Lan Shengli changed the subject and spoke seriously.

"Me~?!, NBA head coach~?!, hahaha~!!!, I said Coach Blue, you are the real flatterer to me~!!"

Taylor listened, shook his head immediately and said.

"I'm serious~ You really have this potential, you have to listen to what I'm saying, I didn't say it was an NBA head coach, I just said NBA coach~"

Lan Shengli explained.

"Then what's the difference~?!"

Taylor asked.

"The difference is quite big, you should be very clear after working in the Clippers for many years~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"I do understand this matter, but firstly, I don't have a player background, secondly, I don't have a basketball background, and thirdly, I don't have your kind of talent that is different from ordinary people, and I don't even fully understand some conventional basketball tactics. , How could I have the opportunity to be an NBA coach~?!"

Taylor continued to shake his head repeatedly.

"Haha~, it seems that you still don't fully understand the work and situation of NBA coaches~"

Lan Shengli also smiled, shaking his head and talking.

"In an NBA team, there are about 10 coaches. In addition to the regular coaching staff, there are also physical trainers, player development coaches, shooting coaches, etc. They are responsible for the areas they are best at~"

Lan Shengli explained.

"Of course, physical trainers and shooting coaches must have very strong professional skills and excellent skills. These two are really not suitable for you, but your communication skills with the players, that kind of affinity, that kind of good at The ability to discover the potential of players and tap the potential of rookies is very prominent in my eyes, so I think you are very suitable to be a player development coach~!!!”

Lan Shengli continued to analyze.

"Although I also know this profession, although I maintain a certain positive attitude towards your analysis, I am really worried that I can't do it well~!!"

Taylor responded.

"Besides, I enjoy my current job and the whole state very much now, I think it is the most suitable for me~!!"

Taylor explained with some hesitation.

"I don't want to force you to be a player development coach. I just want to dig out more available talents from the Clippers. This is the most important thing~!! You go back and think about it, or you can try this Work, if you don’t give it a try, you will never know how much potential you have~”

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"But hasn't the team's current player development coaches been doing a good job~?!, I don't want to just take away other people's jobs~!!"

Taylor continued to find various reasons to refuse.

"No, Taylor, recommending you to be a player development coach is just a temporary transitional stage. What I want to do in the end is to bring you to my coaching staff~!!!"

Lan Shengli still spoke in a very serious and determined tone.

"Are you serious~?!, bring me to your coaching staff~?!"

Taylor listened, more puzzled.

"That's right, that's my long-term plan, because I want to build a coaching team that belongs to me, and I want to work with people who can have a good chemical reaction with me~!!, and you Taylor is my target candidate~!!, and the player development coach is your phased test~!!"
