Chapter 1281
"Honey, I'm going on a business trip again next week~!!"

Late at night, in the bedroom of Lan Shengli's home, the two who were about to fall asleep were cuddling each other.

Mia said suddenly.

"Where are you going this time~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Panama, next week there will be a China-Pakistan business meeting, and we need to report. You know, our US headquarters has contracted the business of the entire North America, so we have to go~!"

Mia responded.

"But shouldn't Panama be in Latin America~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Okay~, then North America and Latin America are under our jurisdiction~"

Mia responded.

“Panama has a nice view, and going there now is a shelter from the cold, not bad~”

Lan Shengli responded.

"But I don't want to go~, I just want to be with you every day~!!"

Mia continued.

"I also want to be with you every day~, but that's our life after retirement, isn't it~?!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Maybe~"

Mia listened and nodded.

"While we are young, we should work harder to realize our ideals, and then when we are old enough to enjoy life without regrets, isn't it~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Yes, yes, yes~!!, what you said is right~!!"

Soon, Mia obeyed.

"What's the situation with the team now~?!, always hovering between No.7 and No.6, the pressure must be great~?!"

Mia continued to ask.

"It's very big~, as long as we have a wave of losing streak, it is very likely that we will fall out of the top eight in the Western Conference. If we fail to lead the team to the playoffs this season, my contract extension may be ruined ~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Isn't there still the Lakers~?!, they are all in Los Angeles anyway, there is no difference~!"

Mia thought very openly.

"Haha~, you're right, they're all in Los Angeles, there won't be any difference~!!"

Lan Shengli smiled and sighed.

"It's just that I don't know how much interest Kupchak will have in a head coach who failed to lead the team to the playoffs~"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"In short, I still have to work hard to lead the team into the playoffs, so that the possibility of my contract renewal will be greatly improved. When I sign a big contract in the future, we will move out from here. We will buy a big villa with a swimming pool. With a garage, with a garden, with an open-air balcony, etc.!!"

Lan Shengli hugged Mia and fantasized.

"Well, there are 5 more bathrooms, so I can take my girlfriends and my family over~!!"

"No problem, 5 is too little, 10 bathrooms~!!"

"10, that's too much~!"

"Haha~, it seems that there will be a lot~!!"

The two continued to chat, and continued to fantasize about a better life in the future.

For this beautiful life, Lan Shengli still needs to work hard.

While speaking, Lan Shengli came to the team base here. Because there are 20 games left in the regular season, it can be said that the impact time has come, so it is necessary to hold a meeting to unify the thinking.

And in this meeting, in addition to all the players and coaching staff, there were also team executives including general manager Cole participating.

Boss Ballmer also came to the meeting room.

Lan Shengli prepared a speech, and soon came to the stage.

"It is now the end of the regular season. We are currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference. After reading the entire ranking, it should be clear. Maybe today we are sixth, tomorrow we will be seventh, and the day after tomorrow we will be eighth~!!"

Lan Shengli's speech began.

"It's also possible that we are sixth today, fifth tomorrow, and fourth the day after tomorrow~!!, what kind of ranking we want to get, the fate is actually in our own hands~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"So, before the start of the last 20 regular season games, I want to set a short-term goal for the team at this stage~!!, that is to keep six and compete for four~!!!"

Lan Shengli quickly "pointed out the purpose".

"If we want to keep No.6, we must win those opponents who are not as good as us in terms of strength and record. This is very important. We must show a very focused state to deal with every opponent~!!"

Lan Shengli's tone was very firm.

"And now we are still 4 games away from the No.3.5 Grizzlies in the West. We will have a head-to-head confrontation with the Grizzlies in the future, and it will still be at our home court. So, if we win again If we play one game, we will be closer to No.4~!!, we will make it to the first half, we will at least gain home court advantage in the first round, and we will try our best to advance the ranking~!!!”

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"So we have no chance to return to the first echelon~?!"

Hearing this, Ballmer asked immediately.

"The chances are not great. After all, the difference in wins is there. With 20 games left, it is obviously unrealistic to catch up with those teams~!"

Lan Shengli responded bluntly.

"And in order to successfully qualify for the playoffs, the coaching staff will not consider resting the main players, but Love, who is still fighting with injuries, can consider canceling back-to-back games, and,,,"

Lan Shengli continued to talk, and everyone continued to listen.

For this goal of "guaranteeing six and striving for four", there is actually a lot of pressure.

Because the Clippers and the No.7 Mavericks only have half a game, and the Mavericks also want to improve their ranking as much as possible, so it is really hard to say who can stand out.

To keep the No. 6 position, the Clippers must win direct contests against Harden's competitors.

While speaking, the Clippers' last No. 20 regular season game of this season is about to begin.

They will face the No.8 Utah Jazz in the West at home.

"Although the Jazz still has a certain gap with us, as I said before, facing this kind of direct competitor for the playoffs, we must show the competitive state and attitude of the playoffs to compete~! !, if you want to complete the "guaranteed six and compete for four", you must first obtain a playoff spot, and if you want to get a playoff spot, it is particularly important to widen the gap with No.8~!!"

In the locker room, Lan Shengli reminded the players.

"3, 2, 1~!!"

"Clipper~!"

After the shouting, the game will begin.

"Since the goal of "guaranteeing six and fighting for four" has been set, let me see how well you guys are doing for this goal~!!"

Ballmer, who was still seated on the sidelines, looked at the Clippers with a stern expression, thinking to himself.
