Chapter 988 Milicic who didn't come to report

"Because the team now has a trio of Harden, George and Love, and the core lineup has been built inside and outside, so the reconstruction plan has officially come to an end~!!, we have reached the time for results~, So in the new season, the goal our coaching staff set for the team is to break into the playoffs and try to get the home court advantage in the first round~!!"

At the Clippers season mobilization meeting, Lan Shengli, as the head coach, announced the team's goals for the new season.

Such a goal should be in line with the current situation of the Clippers, but such a verbal commitment is obviously not enough for Mr. Sterling.

In recent seasons, the Clippers have not been able to make the playoffs, not to mention, because of poor performance and the attendance rate at home is not ideal, which makes the team's income in these seasons have been showing a downward trend , although the overall revenue is still in a state of revenue, but the ratio of revenue is deteriorating, especially after the Lakers in Los Angeles won back-to-back championships, the Clippers' market in Los Angeles is getting smaller and smaller, so the team urgently needs to play Make it to the playoffs to win back the attention of the fans.

"If the Clippers fail to enter the playoffs next season, I will voluntarily resign as head coach of the Clippers~!!"

Under such circumstances, Lan Shengli issued a "military order". If the Clippers fail to enter the playoffs next season, Lan Shengli's career as the head coach of the Clippers may be over.

"Coach Bruce~, I admire your courage and courage, and I also like your style of doing things very much. Okay~, I agree with your military order. I hope that the result will satisfy both parties~"

Sterling said.

"Hmm~, I hope so~"

Lan Shengli nodded and responded.

"I really didn't expect you to make such a decision~"

After the mobilization meeting was over, everyone left the venue, and the general manager said to Lan Shengli.

"Just relying on those players who haven't fully proved themselves, you believe that they can make it to the playoffs~?!"

The general manager here continued to ask.

"In today's situation, I can only choose to believe in the players, I believe in these players that I have personally selected~"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Besides, the fifth place in the West last season has proved that these players are capable of doing something~!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Since you have already issued such a military order, I can't say anything more~, so be it~, I hope you can succeed~!!"

The general manager prayed.

"Thank you for the blessing from the general manager~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"By the way, what's going on with Milicic~?!, and he didn't come to the media day. I heard that he stayed in his hometown in Serbia during the offseason and didn't return to the United States at all~?!"

Lan Shengli asked again.

"Yeah, when I chose to trade Milicic, I thought about many uncertain factors, but I never thought that this uncertain factor was that he would not even come back to the United States~"

The general manager said in a helpless tone.

"Then how did the team decide~?! Will he be punished~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to ask.

"If he hasn't come back before the training camp starts, some measures need to be taken, and we can't wait like this forever~"

The general manager said.

"Are you going to cut him~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to ask.

"According to his violation of the team's series of regulations, we don't have to pay his full salary to cut him, but~, after all, he is a relatively important player in Brand's trade, so it's actually quite a pity to cut him like this ~"

The general manager said.

"Although I haven't paid much attention to Milicic's recent situation~, but judging from his previous game performance, I think Milicic must still have a certain fighting power, that's for sure~!"

Lan Shengli said.

"I agree with your point of view. After all, Milicic, as the former No. [-] player, still has the ability, and now is the golden age of his career, as long as he continues to start systematic training, he will definitely recover to a certain extent~!! "

The general manager responded.

"Yeah, I think so too, but the problem now is here, how much basketball desire Milicic still has now is a problem~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"How about it~, I want to find an opportunity to chat with Milicic~ and listen to his thoughts~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Well, I also think it should be done like this~ You can work part-time as a psychiatrist and give Milicic a psychological counseling~"

The general manager responded.

"I hope I can arouse the heart of Milicic who loves basketball~"

Lan Shengli said with a melancholy expression, as if he was not too sure about this matter.

After communicating with Milicic's agency, Lan Shengli soon got the opportunity to talk to Milicic.

"Hello, amazing young commander~!"

Milicic spoke in Serbian.

"Oh~!!, although I have also studied Serbian for two days, but forgive me that I really can't communicate completely freely in Serbian~"

Lan Shengli said.

"It's okay, fortunately, I can speak English~"

Milicic finally switched to English.

"What~?!, Coach Blue wants to see me in a hurry~?!"

Milicic asked.

"Haha~ Of course, I wanted to take a photo with my big Serbian brother at the media day~ But it didn't work out, I think it's a pity, so I hope to have the opportunity to meet you~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Welcome Coach Blue to Serbia~!"

Milicic yelled, almost singing.

"Although I really yearn for the beautiful country of Serbia, but now I think it's best for us to meet in Los Angeles~!!, I want to have a good chat with you~!!"

Lan Shengli still spoke seriously.

"What are you going to talk about~?!, I may have guessed it, before you get ready to talk, what I want to tell you is that I am really very, very, very tired of basketball, and also tired of the life of a professional player, Just like you once got tired of being a Berkeley teacher~!!"

Milicic said directly.

It seems that Milicic knows Lan Shengli quite well.

"Well~, so it seems that we still have a lot in common~, you say that, I want to have a good chat with you~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Okay~, I also want to chat with Coach Blue about how to achieve a seamless crossover~!!"

Milicic responded.
