Chapter 1320 Becoming a Free Coach
"In the 2012 NBA Draft, the first pick in the first round, the New Orleans Hornets chose ~, Anthony Davis ~!!"

With LeBron James and Wade, and the Heat led by Bosh defeated Brooks' Thunder in the finals, James finally won the first championship of his career and the MVP of the finals.

After the finals, there will be the last suspense of this season, the draft.

The Hornets, holding the No. [-] pick, chose Anthony Davis, a talented insider from the University of Kentucky, nicknamed "Big Eyebrow".

New blood is about to be injected into the NBA, and old blood will naturally leave the NBA due to metabolism.

As with players, so with coaches.

During the offseason of each season, a large number of teams change their head coaches.

They either want to find a more experienced head coach, or they want to find a head coach who is more able to lead young players.

Each team takes what they need and chooses their favorite head coach.

Another situation is that in order to establish a long-term and stable team culture and overall environment for the team, they will choose to renew their contract with the head coach in advance.

But now our young marshal Lan Shengli is facing these problems.

Is it to complete the contract extension with the Clippers, or enter the "free market" and become a "free coach"~? !
This may not be what Lan Shengli can say.

After all, the initiative is still with the Clippers.

And because Lan Shengli had been busy taking care of Mia and preparing for the wedding before, he never considered the contract renewal, and neither Cole nor Ballmer mentioned it.

But now is the time to put it on the agenda.

Because on July 7st, Lan Shengli will officially end the previous three-year contract.You're going to be "unemployed".

"Tomorrow is July, and I still haven't seen them offer a contract extension. I think the Clippers just don't want to use you~!"

At home, Lan Shengli and Mia were eating fruit and watching American TV series, while Mia was talking.

"Let it be as it is~, if the Clippers don't offer me a contract, then just look for a job, it's nothing, it's just that we may have to move and can't continue to live in Los Angeles~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we live happily together, that's the best result~!"

Mia nestled happily against Lan Shengli's chest and said.

Lan Shengli touched Mia, but said nothing.

"Mr. Ballmer, so you decided not to renew Bruce's contract, right~?!"

Cole, the general manager here, also called Ballmer and finally confirmed it.

"I still want to think about it, so let's do this first~"

Ballmer replied simply.

"Then coach Blue will become a free coach tomorrow, and he can accept contracts offered by other teams~!!, we have a great possibility of losing Blue~!!"

Cole reminded.

"There are still many good coaches. If we can find Bruce, we can continue to find the second one. Don't worry~"

Ballmer responded.

Now that the boss has said so, Cole can't say anything more.

So when July 7 came, Lan Shengli automatically ended his three-year partnership with the Los Angeles Clippers and officially became a freelance coach.

"I really didn't expect that Ballmer would not renew your contract~ Forget it~, they don't spare their talents, so naturally there are places where talents are cherished, I believe you can find such a place~!!"

Here Harper called Lan Shengli and said.

"Maybe~"

Lan Shengli still spoke calmly.

"So, you are also planning to give up the contract for the second year, the contract for the next year, and return to the Lausanne Academy~!?"

Ask immediately.

"That's right, I've always thought this way. I'm a principled person in doing things, and I'm also a principled person~!!, if you're not on the team, there's no meaning or need for me to stay~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Okay~, I respect your principles~, but if I get another job in another team, will you continue to follow me~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"I'm not a follower~, haha~!!, there will be better assistant coaches to assist you, don't worry~!"

Harper responded.

It seems that Harper is determined to return to the Lausanne Academy.

"What if that team also happens to lack an assistant coach~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to ask questions.

"If there is such a coincidence, then why not do it, haha~!!"

Harper responded with a smile.

It seems that Harper's principles are not so firm.

"Haha~!!, then I will interview other teams in the future, and I will say that I want to bring an assistant coach to form a team~!!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengli said with a smile.

"Don't don't~!!, don't delay your career because of me, I believe that the reputation you have accumulated through these three years will make many teams interested in you, come on~!!"

Harper said.

"What I look forward to more is that I still have the opportunity to continue to cooperate with you in the future~!!"

Lan Shengli responded with a serious tone.

"Maybe there will be such an opportunity~, who knows~"

Harper shook his head, sighing.

The two continued to chat for a while, then hung up the phone.

After that, it was true that as Harper said, multiple teams provided opportunities for Blue to win.

Teams such as the Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards all provided Lan Shengli with an assistant coaching job.

As the early pursuers of Lan Shengli, the Los Angeles Lakers directly offered a job as a head coach.

In addition to the Lakers, the Houston Rockets, which are in the process of rebuilding and mostly young players, also provided Lan Shengli with the job of head coach, and it was a five-year long contract.

In short, the Clippers "don't want it", but it has become the target of looting by other teams.

According to NBA regulations, now Lan Shengli has the right to meet with any of the above-mentioned teams, or called an interview.

But faced with so many "offers".

The "free coach" Lan Shengli made a very surprising decision.

That is, I will not consider returning to NBA coaching for the time being.

Such a short and concise statement surprised the teams chasing Lan's victory.

They did not expect this to be the case.

"Honey, what are you thinking~?!, why didn't you join the meeting~?!"

Now Mia, who is an upright wife, also asked about Lan Shengli.

"Because,, because I yearn for freedom, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli said half-jokingly.
