Chapter 1608 Best Coach of the Season

"To be honest, I came here just to listen to your speech, haha~!!"

"Me too, I feel that after you retire from the position of NBA head coach, you can do speech training~"

At the end of the opening ceremony of the China-US Cultural Exchange Conference, Cole and Love praised Lan Shengli.

"I'll think about it~, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli responded with a smile.

Indeed, Lan Shengli's speech was the most quintessential moment of the entire opening ceremony.

“I hope to come here often as a guest in the future~!”

The consul general here also found Lan Shengli, and said.

"I will. If there is a chance, the Consul General can bring his colleagues to watch the game. My treat, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli responded with a smile.

"It's a deal~!"

"It's a deal~!"

The opening ceremony ended in such a harmonious atmosphere.

If the Consul General has time, the agreement between the two people may be realized in a week.

Because a week later, the new NBA regular season will officially start.

This week is also the last time for the Clippers to prepare for the new season.

Lan Shengli, who has issued a military order, of course has to face the upcoming new challenges in a more vigorous state.

Compared with the previous season, the upcoming new season has great changes for the Clippers.

Although the core lineup of Harden, George and Love has not changed, but the joining of other players such as Deron must take time to adjust.

Coupled with the changes in the coaching staff, Harper's departure and the arrival of a new assistant coach, the coaching staff led by Lan Shengli also needs a running-in period.

Many challenges are waiting for Lan Shengli to solve.

As for Lan Shengli, before the start of the new season, he will also participate in a special ceremony, which is to receive the NBA Coach of the Year trophy last season.

Yes, you read that right, it is the 2012-13 season, the honor of the NBA's best coach of the year.

Last season, Lan Shengli led the team to make history and reached the finals.

Although it was a 1:4 loss to the Miami Heat.

But if you watch the game, you know that the strength of the two sides is not as different as shown in the score.

The Clippers brought a very big impact and challenge to the Heat.

With his excellent performance throughout the year, Lan Shengli also defeated excellent coaches such as Spoelstra and Brooks, and won the approval of most of the league's judges. Among the coaches, Lan Shengli has the highest gold content in the entire NBA. awards.

Lan Shengli also became the youngest winner of the best coach award after becoming the youngest head coach of the four major leagues in North America.

It can only be said that Lan Shengli is still very young~

This best coach award is also the league's praise for Lan Shengli.

It is also an affirmation of Lan Shengli's coaching ability over the past four years.

You know, four years ago, the Los Angeles Clippers were in disarray.

But the arrival of Lan Shengli changed everything.

Picking the right players, picking the style of play that suits those players, building a good team culture, and a roster that can win for a long time.

In the first year, he chose a cornerstone player like Harden and a high-quality insider like Jordan. In the second year, he got Love through a trade, established Harden Love's system, and selected George, and the team's big frame took shape instantly. , and led the team to enter the playoffs again after many years. Although they encountered the "recording door" incident, "you know it's not a blessing." Sterling's departure also just gave the Clippers a more loving team. Boss - Ballmer.

In the third year, the team made great progress in the regular season. Unfortunately, there was a wave of injuries in the playoffs, and the team failed to go further.

But anyone who follows the Clippers knows that this team already has a bright future.

Last season was the fourth year. The team worked hard, played steadily in the regular season, and became more and more courageous in the playoffs. The team not only reached the Western Conference Finals for the first time after the new century, but also reached the Finals.

Being able to do this in four years may indeed be something other NBA coaches cannot do.

Of course, if the Clippers won the championship last season, then for Lan Shengli and the Clippers, it would really be a season of gods.

Lan Shengli has been proving himself with practical actions, so this honor came naturally.

At the same time, it must be said that Lan Shengli is lucky. There are many excellent coaches in NBA history. Some coaches have many bright moments in their coaching careers, but they have not won the best coach of the season even once, such as the former Jazz. Head Coach - Jerry Sloan.

So from this aspect, you can feel how lucky it is to win the best coach after only coaching Lan Shengli for four seasons.

However, in order to prepare for the new season training camp and other things, Lan Shengli also failed to return to China to lead the national team to participate in the Manila Asian Championships. This is quite a pity for Lan Shengli.

Perhaps it is really "you can't have it both ways".

The Chinese Basketball Association did not force Lan Shengli to come back, which made Lan Shengli more active.

"Tomorrow is the day when the new season comes, and it's a busy day again. I hope this new journey will have a perfect result~!!!"

In the evening, Lan Shengli, who was lying on the bed, looked at the ceiling and thought.

Lan Shengli hadn't made such an action for a long time.

"The new season is here again. I know that you are all ready, and I also know that you all know the military order I issued, so let's start today and get started~!!"

While talking, the new season has arrived, Lan Shengli said to the players in the locker room before the opening game.

"3, 2, 1~!!"

"Champion~!"

It seems that the slogan has been changed.

"Congratulations to Coach Victory Blue~"

In the Staples Center, the game was about to start during the conversation. Before the kick-off, Cole came to the center of the field. You could tell by the tone that this was an award.

"Congratulations to coach Victory Blue, who was awarded the best coach in the league in the 2012-13 season~!!, congratulations~!!!"

After Cole gave a brief speech, he raised the trophy for the best coach, and handed it to Lan Shengli, who had been waiting for a long time, with a gratified smile.

"Congratulations!!"

"Thank you~!"

Cole handed over the trophy, patted Lan Shengli on the shoulder, and continued to congratulate.

Lan Shengli held the trophy and responded.

Lan Shengli immediately raised the trophy high above his head,
"Yeah~!!!"

"Crack, clap, clap!!!!"

There was instant applause and cheers everywhere.

Lan Shengli instantly became the most focused figure in the entire Staples Center.

Blessings from all are accepted.

The members of the coaching staff were applauding, the players were also applauding, and Ballmer also applauded with an expression of approval.

Let us congratulate Lan Shengli, the best coach, well deserved.
