Chapter 689 Old Dun Levy "Trusted Gu" (Part [-])
Tuogu: It generally refers to those ancient emperors who, knowing that they were about to die young, entrusted their young sons to those trustworthy people for their assistance.

In today's society, the meaning expressed by this word is difficult to appear again.

However, there are many, many things derived from this word.

This is next.

At the beginning of July, the NBA officially entered the offseason, but those young players who have just entered the league and those young players who want to enter the league have already come to Orlando, and the summer league has begun.

Lan Shengli came to Orlando with the Clippers. While investigating his own rookies, Lan Shengli also paid attention to other teams' rookies.

It wasn't just Lan Shengli who came to Orlando, but also the team's head coach, old Dunleavy.

The old Dunleavy who came to Orlando didn't seem to just want to watch the game, he had other things.

"After dinner tonight, come to my room, I have something to tell you~!!"

Old Deng Levy suddenly said this to Lan Shengli, which made Lan Shengli confused for a while.

"What do you have to do in your room at night~?!"

"Is there anything you can't just say here~?!"

Lan Shengli was puzzled.

But at night, Lan Shengli went to the old Dunleavy's room as scheduled.

"Boom boom boom~~"

Lan Shengli knocked on the door, and old Dunleavy looked at Maoyan and opened the door.

"Come in~"

Old Dunleavy said, turned and returned to the room.

Lan Shengli walked in quickly.

"Thank you~"

"Coach Dunleavy, what can you do for me~?!"

Lan Shengli sat on the sofa, took the water brought by old Dunleavy, and said.

"You should also know that I have the last year left on my contract with the Clippers,"

Old Dunleavy spoke earnestly.

"I know~"

Lan Shengli nodded and said.

"I believe the general manager has told you, the team is now looking for a new head coach,"

Old Dunleavy continued.

"I've heard that too,,,"

Lan Shengli continued to nod his head and talk.

"Coach Dunleavy, I think you can continue to coach. Now the Clippers are developing in a good direction. With new players joining the team, it will definitely get better~!"

Lan Shengli suddenly persuaded.

"The reason why I don't want to coach anymore is not with the team. After all, the situation of the Clippers was more complicated in the past few years, and I survived it, so the reason is with me,"

Old Dunleavy said.

"I've had enough with the team, the head coach and the days of running around every year. I want to leave here. I want to go back to my family and my own life~!!"

Old Dunleavy continued to explain.

"Yeah, basketball is not everything in life~"

Lan Shengli sighed as he listened.

"Yes, maybe in a few years, I will start to miss the life of being a head coach again, and I may come back again, but as far as the current situation is concerned, I still want to leave here for a while~"

Old Dunleavy continued.

"I can understand you, it's probably the same feeling I had when I left Berkeley,"

Lan Shengli continued to nod his head and said.

"Although I'm leaving here, after all, I've been here for many years, and my results are not satisfactory. I am responsible, but the thought of not being able to bring the Clippers even a conference finals experience has always made me feel uncomfortable. I'm very sad~"

Old Dunleavy said, shaking his head.

"So I don't want to leave with too much regret, I want to leave something more for this team,"

Old Dunleavy was talking, drinking water.

Lan Shengli just kept listening like that, without replying.

"Do you still remember that you went to my house and asked me for advice~?!"

asked old Dunleavy.

"Remember~!"

Lan Shengli nodded immediately and said.

"At that time, Mike (Dunleavy Jr.) and I persuaded you, in fact, I hope you can return to the Clippers~!!"

Old Dunleavy continued.

"Since you came to my house for the first time, asked me three questions, and gave me suggestions, I felt that you were a very thoughtful and courageous young man. You were eclectic and had unique thinking logic. I really appreciate you~!!"

The old Dunleavy suddenly praised him so wildly that Lan Shengli laughed awkwardly.

"I'm very glad that the general manager of the team is also aware of this, and then we all have the opportunity to work hard to complete a handover~!!"

Old Dunleavy said, and lit a cigarette.

"Huh~?! Handover~?! What do you mean by that~?!"

Lan Shengli frowned and asked.

"The general manager should have told you before that the team will use the next season to find a new head coach candidate. This person must meet three conditions: first, he must be young enough to To coach a team for a long time, the second is to have a good understanding of the team, and the third is to have advanced ideas and thinking, I think you have all three of these~!!"

Old Dunleavy analyzed.

"Well, I'm just a player performance director, and I'm still far away from the position of the head coach. In fact, I haven't been in the Clippers for more than half a year~"

Lan Shengli looked a little nervous and said.

"No, sometimes you have to settle yourself so that you can learn more knowledge and skills, and sometimes, when you encounter an opportunity, you have to rush forward like a hungry tiger, because many opportunities are fleeting. If you don’t catch it for the first time, you may never have the chance to fight for it~!!”

Old Dunleavy persuaded.

Lan Shengli lowered his head, listened, and fell silent.

"I know that you have always wanted to be the head coach of an NBA team. The ability and potential you have shown now are the strongest in the Clippers. Maybe you are worried that you will not be able to deter these NBA players with your prestige. , especially big-name players like Brand, but you have to remember that the more difficult the situation is, the more you have to work harder, so that you can stimulate the stronger potential in your body~!!"

Old Dunleavy persuaded.

"Thank you Coach Dunleavy for your teaching~"

Lan Shengli nodded and responded.

"The general manager told me about your team rebuilding plan before. After listening to it, I only have one thought. Do you know what it is~?!"

Old Dunleavy continued to smoke and asked.

"not sure,,"

Lan Shengli shook his head and said.

"After I left the Clippers, letting you take over my position is the most correct, wise, and most reassuring decision for me. I think it's okay to hand over the team to you~!!!"

Old Dun Levy puffed out the smoke, and said in a fluttering manner, but he was very sincere and serious.

In this way, the old Dunleavy gave the Clippers "tuogu" to Lan Shengli.
