ace marshal

Chapter 690
The reason why the old Dunleavy has been able to coach the Clippers for such a long time is that besides the fact that the team management has always believed in him, there is also the fact that the old Dunleavy is very popular and has been helped by others.

Lan Shengli can also be regarded as the person who once helped old Dun Levy.

At that time, he tried to send the "alien" Cassel away, so that the old Dunleavy had more stable rights.

However, the old Dunleavy is also 54 years old. He is over half a century old, and his energy and physical strength have declined. Especially the Clippers are now in the rebuilding period, which makes the old Dunleavy less and less interested in coaching.

So~~

"I have already thought about it. After the end of the last year of the contract next season, I will no longer coach the team. I will take a two-year break~"

So during the last season, the old Dunleavy approached the general manager to talk about his future plans.

It can also be regarded as allowing the team to prepare in advance.

Knowing the situation, the general manager proactively found Lan Shengli and brought him back to the team.

"Bru is very young, he can follow the team for a long time, and his ability can be qualified for the position of an NBA head coach~!!"

After learning that Lan Shengli had returned to the Clippers again, the old Dunleavy took the initiative to propose to the general manager.

"But Blue has never had coaching experience, he was only an assistant coach in high school, and he was not a member of the coaching staff at UCLA,"

The general manager became worried.

"Anyway, the team is still rebuilding now, and there is no requirement for the record. Even if Bruce can't lead the team well, it will be fine to change to another position. If he can really, it will save a lot of things~ !!"

Old Dunleavy said.

"That's right, let's put this matter aside for now, and use this year to see if Lan Shengli can do it,"

The general manager responded.

Although the general manager did not directly agree or give a positive answer, he basically regarded Lan Shengli as a "head coach candidate" and a key training object.

The old Dun Levy also informed Lan Shengli of this situation.

"A candidate for a new head coach must meet three conditions: first, he must be young enough to coach the team for a long time; second, he must know enough about the team; third, he must have advanced ideas and thinking. It’s all taken up~!!”

Old Dunleavy has said this very directly.

"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~!!!"

It can be heard that in the heart of old Dunleavy, the next head coach of the Clippers must be Lan Shengli.

"Although I don't know the specific situation yet, I am very grateful to Coach Dunleavy for his trust and understanding in me. I will definitely do my best to work~!"

Lan Shengli responded in a daze.

Maybe Lan Shengli didn't expect that old Dunleavy would tell him this.

"You have to know that this is your best chance to become an NBA head coach. You must seize it. Don't make mistakes this year. You must show yourself well in front of the management. In the previous draft, you Already doing a great job, I hope you will continue~!!, I think you will be the head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers for the foreseeable future~!!!”

Old Dunleavy continued to praise.

"Ah~!!"

After Lan Shengli listened, he suddenly woke up.

"You have to know that this is your best chance to become the head coach of the NBA. You must seize it. I think that in the foreseeable future, you will be the head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers~!!!"

Lan Shengli's words echoed in Lan Shengli's mind.

At this moment, Lan Shengli suddenly felt that he was so close to the end, the vow he made in front of Byron in the fast food restaurant, so close that it seemed within reach.

But Lan Shengli didn't dare to respond, because there were too many ups and downs along the way.

So after the cloud suddenly turned to the sun, Lan Shengli was a little scared, afraid that it was just a dream, just a dream.

"I hope you can give me a promise, promise that from today on, you will work hard in the direction of the head coach of the Clippers, inherit my position, and help me realize my dream that I couldn't realize here~!!"

Old Dunleavy continued.

"Did you hear~?!"

Seeing that Lan Shengli was in a daze, Old Dunleavy asked.

"Oh, I heard, I heard~!!, I,, I,,,"

Although Lan Shengli came back to his senses, he was still hesitating.

"You don't look like the Lan Shengli in my impression. You have to take responsibility bravely. This is an opportunity God has given you. You have to seize it~!!"

Seeing Lan Shengli's preoccupied look, old Dun Levy said.

The old Dunleavy really wanted Lan Shengli to be the one to inherit his "legacy".

"Okay, maybe this matter is too sudden for you, you go back and think about it, and come to me after you think about it, I think you will figure it out and know what to do~"

Seeing that Lan Shengli still didn't respond, old Dunleavy spoke.

After that, Lan Shengli left the old Dunleavy's room.

Back in his room, he was still lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling reflecting the moonlight, full of thoughts.

"Lan Shengli, what's the matter with you~?! Now that you have an opportunity to make an appointment as an NBA head coach, you are actually timid, so how can you make a big deal in the future~?! You are a man who wants to become an NBA head coach Ah~!!"

Lan Shengli was thinking and talking.

"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~!!"

"Sometimes you have to settle yourself and let yourself 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 catch it, 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. You have to remember that the more difficult the situation, the more you will be You have to work harder, so that you can stimulate the stronger potential in your body~!!"

Lan Shengli began to recall what the old Dunleavy said before, and these words made Lan Shengli recall for a long time.

Suddenly, Lan Shengli's parents, Byron, Dawei, Coach Harper's coach Holland and others appeared in Lan Shengli's mind.

"Maybe, I really shouldn't think too much, maybe this is really an opportunity God gave me~!!!"
