Chapter 698 Gradually Gaining Trust in Lan Shengli
"George Hill, averaged 28.6 minutes per game, contributed 8.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists~"

"DeAndre Jordan, averaged 25.1 minutes per game, scored 6.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks~"

"Hmm~"

In the base office building of the Los Angeles Clippers, in Lan Shengli's office, the general manager looked at the data of the first ten games of the regular season of the Clippers, thinking about it.

The regular season has already started. With the addition of Hill and Jordan, the Clippers have a lot of vitality in the game, and the game can often be played very intensely and anxiously, but at the critical moment, it still lacks The scoring ability at some critical moments.

So many games were lost to the opponent at the last minute.

After ten games, the Clippers have achieved four wins and six losses. Although the winning percentage is not more than half, it is much better than the first ten games last year.

However, compared to the team's performance, the general manager should be more interested in the performance of the two rookies, Hill and Jordan.

After all, the Clippers, who are in the rebuilding period, don't care whether they can win the current game, but care more about whether they can win in the future.

"How~?! Let's analyze and analyze~"

The general manager put down the data sheet and said.

"General manager, what do you think~?! Did the performance of these two rookies meet your expectations~?!"

Lan Shengli immediately asked back.

"We chose two players who are not good at offense, so in terms of statistics, neither of them scored well enough, but they did a good job in other aspects. Jordan played better than the second-round pick. Hope If it’s Er, I think he can be even better~!!”

The general manager said.

"You are right. In fact, the type of players our team lacks today is shooters, so choosing Hill and Jordan did not make up for the defects in our team~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"However, Hill and Jordan's abilities and contributions to the team are often not reflected by the statistics~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Although Hill's statistics are a bit worse, he has played the tough defense and stable performance in college, which at least shows us a good sign. He is also studying the game hard to improve himself. , strengthen himself, he really has the possibility to become a top role player~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to analyze.

"As for Jordan, in the end the team hopes that he can start from the bench, but the facts have proved that Jordan is more suitable to start. He is not the same style of player as Kaman who has left the team, so there is no analogy. Yes, but after these ten games, the combination of Jordan and Brand has formed a good chemical reaction, which is still very gratifying~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Hmm~, the decision to use the second-round pick to select Jordan is indeed profitable, but Hill still needs to work harder~!!"

The general manager responded.

It can be heard that these two have higher expectations for Hill, the seventh overall pick.

"Hill is an excellent role player. If he wants to be even better, he just needs to continue this more stable performance~"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists.

10 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists.

12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists.

12 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists.

In the subsequent games, although Hill still did not play that kind of explosive performance, his stability has been continued, and every game has done what the old Dunleavy arranged.

It was Hill who made the dribble.

It was Hill who pressed hard in the audience.

It was Hill who spared no effort to catch up with the opponent's top scorer.

Hill does the dirty work, the drudgery that others don't want to do.

"I just try my best to be myself, do the tasks assigned to me by the coach, and make sure that I am in the best competitive state every night~!!"

Although Hill's answer is still very official, it doesn't affect the management's growing respect for him.

And the media's evaluation of him has improved.

Hill is using practical actions to defend his seventh overall pick and Lan Shengli's position.

And another rookie is getting better and better.

9 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks.

11 points, 12 rebounds, 1 blocks.

8 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks.

9 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks.

Jordan protects the Clippers' paint area every game and protects his own basket, which feels like a goalkeeper in a football game.

"My game style is like this, don't try to play wild on my head, although I won't shake my finger after a block like Mutombo, but I will give myself a thumbs up, haha~!!"

Jordan's responses were always personal.

That innocent smile, just like Byron's, makes people feel satisfied.

It is precisely because of a more mobile insider like Jordan that Brand was also activated.

Last season, Brand scored 17.3 points and 8.2 rebounds. This season, Brand has averaged 21.9 points and 10.6 rebounds per game.

Because of the involvement of Jordan, Brand played more freely and freely.

But Brand's partner before was Kaman, so for the old No. [-] pick, there is not much room to display.

And I believe that under Brand's training and teaching experience, Jordan will grow faster.

"Hill completed the steal, did not choose to pass the ball, but dribbled the ball to the frontcourt~!!"

"After waiting for his teammates, he suddenly crossed and got the little Jordan who followed up~!!"

"Duang~!!!!"

"Jordan dunks with both hands~!!!"

"Yeah~!!!"

Especially when there was a tacit cooperation between Hill and Jordan, the fans at the Staples Center reacted even more strongly.

After all, that is the future and hope of the team.

"Hill scored a career-high 20 points and 7 assists. Jordan also scored 16 points and 15 rebounds. The Clippers beat the Kings at home~!!!"

When the "Clippers Shuangjun" led the team to win the game, it seemed that the heroes of all this were no longer just the two rookies, but the blue victory that brought them to the team.

"The two rookies are playing better and better, and the management is getting more and more satisfied, Bruce, it seems that your choice has withstood the test, and you have gradually gained more trust from the management~!"

Old Dunleavy said to Lan Shengli.

"This is just a small step in the reconstruction plan. Whether the reconstruction can be successful in the end, there are still many tests waiting for me and the team~!"

Lan Shengli was still low-key and cautious, thinking about his huge structure.
