Chapter 987 Playoff Military Writ
The Clippers' media day is underway at the team's practice facility.

After the photo session, the coaching staff and the general manager accepted the interview.

Surrounded by reporters, and of course the players.

"What is your goal for the rookie season~?!"

The reporter asked George.

"Try to help the team win every night, try to integrate into the team, complete the tasks assigned by the coach, and play the game that belongs to me~, that's it~"

George answered.

"What's the difference between you and James Johnson~?!"

The reporter asked, throwing a rather sharp question.

"We have two styles of players, that's for sure~ James Johnson is a very tough player with a strong individual defensive ability and a tenacious style of play. I can also play that style of game, and My offense with the ball is better, I have a lot of ways to score the ball~!!"

George said in a very confident tone.

"Do you think you have a chance to win Rookie of the Year~?!"

The reporter continued to ask.

"Awards are a matter of course. There is no need to force them. I just need to focus on the game, focus on my own performance, and strive to win the game for the team. Many things will happen naturally~"

George continued to answer.

"As a die-hard Lakers fan, now you have become a member of the Clippers in the same city, what do you think~?!"

The reporter continued to ask.

Such a similar problem seems to have appeared during the previous press conference of the new aid.

"The Lakers have a glorious history. I have witnessed too many glorious moments of the Lakers, but now I am a player of the Clippers, and I can also play for my hometown team. This has nothing to do with me being a diehard Lakers. Professional Players will figure out what's going on and off the court~!"

George still answered calmly.

Questions continue and the media day is still ongoing.

"The media day of the Clippers is here, thank you for coming, and thank you for your concern for the Clippers ~!"

Here the Clippers public relations staff said, the media day of the Clippers has just come to an end.

And before the official start of the new season, there is another thing that is as important as the media day, and it is also carried out by the team every year.

That is the season mobilization meeting, the only team meeting that a boss Sterling participates in a year.

While speaking, the Clippers' season mobilization meeting has already started in the large conference room of the team base.

Because it is a mobilization meeting, the goal of the new season must be mentioned.

As the head coach of the team, Lan Shengli, of course, also has the obligation to explain the team's goals for the new season to the management.

"Mr. Sterling, President, General Manager, colleagues, good morning everyone~"

While talking, Lan Shengli had already come to the stage and started talking.

It is predictable that Lan Shengli is about to start his "speech moment".

"Last season, after we suffered multiple losing streaks in the early part of the season, we regained our strength. After Brand returned from injury, with a well-organized team, our record soared all the way, reaching the fifth position in the Western Conference at the highest. For various reasons, we failed to maintain that position and failed to enter the playoffs, but the potential shown by the young players in the team is absolutely visible to the naked eye~!!"

Lan Shengli was talking while reading the manuscript.

"We made a large-scale change in the team lineup during the offseason. We sent away the team's top star, Brand, and some future draft picks, got Love, and got George through the draft, and won the free agent. Bass, Livingston and Delfino have been released, which has maximized our striker lineup ~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"This makes us more competitive in the new season. This is an indisputable fact~!"

Lan Shengli added.

"And because the team now has a trio of Harden, George and Love, and the core lineup of inside and outside has been built, the reconstruction plan has officially come to an end~!!, we have reached the time for results~ !!"

As Lan Shengli said, his tone became more and more firm.

"So in the new season, the goal set by our coaching staff for the team is to break into the playoffs and try to get home court advantage in the first round~!!"

Lan Shengli finally made the point.

"Coach Bruce, what you said is very good and very reasonable. The team has indeed taken on a new look under your reconstruction plan, but you must know that your contract with the team is only one year left. And next year is still an option for the team~!!”

Sterling suddenly spoke in a cold tone.

"I know that, Mr. Sterling~"

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengli nodded and said immediately.

"I've already thought about it, taking advantage of today's season mobilization meeting, I want to issue a military order~!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak with a resolute expression.

"Oh~?!, tell me~!!"

After hearing this, Mr. Sterling asked curiously.

However, the general manager, Coach Harper and others looked a little nervous. After all, Lan Shengli didn't need to issue such a military order.

And after the military order is issued, there is no turning back.

Let’s listen to the content of Lan Shengli’s military order first~
"If the Clippers fail to enter the playoffs next season, I will voluntarily resign as head coach of the Clippers~!!"

Lan Shengli said bluntly.

This is a very extreme military order.

"Have you thought about it~?!"

Sterling heard and asked.

"Think about it, if I fail to bring such a Clippers team into the playoffs, it means that my ability is really not good, then I should naturally give way to a more capable head coach to lead the Clippers~!! "

Lan Shengli explained.

"But I believe I can do it, the Clippers will definitely be in the playoffs next season, and I believe we will go far, far~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

These few words showed Lan Shengli's determination to issue such a military order.

"Although the Clippers have now completed a series of reinforcements, other teams in the West are also reinforcing~, coupled with some uncontrollable factors such as injuries, it is not so easy to enter the playoffs. ~!!, Bruce is too confident~!!"

Harper sighed secretly.

"Blue's approach is actually understandable. With Mr. Sterling's vigorous and vigorous style of work, if the team still fails to enter the playoffs next season, I am afraid that even if Lan Shengli does not take the initiative to resign, the team will fail." He will no longer implement his contract option for the last year, so if that time really comes, Lan Shengli leaves voluntarily, maybe it will look more decent~”

Listening to the general manager's analysis, he quite understands Lan Shengli's approach.

"Of course, you should believe that Lan Shengli can lead the team to the playoffs~!!"

The general manager continued to sigh.
