Chapter 723
"Whether you will be the head coach or not in the future, you will always be the NBA head coach in my heart, and will always be my guide to enter the NBA. In my heart, you are the best head coach~!!!"

"Come on, you have the opportunity to become an excellent NBA head coach, a young and promising young coach, go and start your coaching career~!! Give the Clippers to you, I feel relieved~!"

In the old Dunleavy's car, the old Dunleavy, who had just stepped down as the head coach of the Clippers, and Lan Shengli, who was about to be the head coach of the Clippers, talked emotionally.

The old Dunleavy left with confidence, while Lan Shengli was reluctant to let the other party leave.

Although the two people are very entangled, this does not delay the two people's blessings for each other.

Old Deng Levy has indeed reached the age to enjoy life, and Lan Shengli has also reached the harvest season.

"Goodbye, old Coach Dunleavy, I will miss you and remember what you said to me~!!"

Lan Shengli sighed as he watched the vehicle driven by old Dunleavy drift away.

"Intuition tells me that you will definitely return to the coaching position, maybe not in the NBA, but you will definitely come back, for sure~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh, and turned back to the office building.

"Yo, isn't this the new Los Angeles Clippers head coach Victory Blue~?!"

Taylor, who was still waiting for Lan Shengli in the lobby on the first floor, watched Lan Shengli enter the hall, greeted him, and said.

"Why are you here~?! You haven't had a holiday yet~?!"

Lan Shengli looked at Taylor, frowned, and asked in doubt.

"My job is 365 days a year without a break~!!"

Taylor said.

"It sounds like you are busier than the President of the United States~!"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"No, although I don't rest, I seldom travel on business, so I'm not too tired. Speaking of which, you are busier than the President of the United States, and you are often on business trips, okay~!!"

Taylor responded.

"I don't have time to talk to you~"

Lan Shengli shook his head, pressed the elevator button, and said.

"Send old Dunleavy away, you haven't come home yet, where are you going~?!"

Taylor followed and asked.

"Go to the general manager, I have something to talk to him~"

Lan Shengli responded and walked into the elevator.

"Ah~, it seems that it is unnecessary for the general manager to ask me to wait for you here~"

Taylor said, and followed into the elevator.

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

When Lan Shengli heard about it, he asked immediately.

"The general manager said just now that he was afraid that you would leave the base directly after saying goodbye to old Dunleavy, so he asked me to wait for you here, and said that he told you to go to the general manager to find him. I saw you got out of old Dunleavy's car. , walked towards the building, and didn’t call you~”

Taylor explained.

"Maybe we're thinking the same thing~"

Lan Shengli nodded and said.

The two quickly left the elevator.

"I wish you success, I wish you success, prospective head coach~!"

Taylor said and walked away.

"Why is it so awkward to be called the head coach~?! Maybe I haven't gotten used to it yet~"

Lan Shengli shook his head, sighed, and walked towards the general manager's office.

"dong dong dong~"

"Please come in~"

After knocking on the door, Lan Shengli entered the general manager's office.

"General Manager, are you looking for me~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Have you bid farewell to Coach Dunleavy~?!"

the general manager asked.

"Yeah, even though I knew he would step down a year ago, it's still a bit unbelievable after all this actually happened~"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"As the players change one after another, the coach should naturally change. Just like making a movie, a director who is good at telling stories should find actors with delicate acting skills. A director who is good at making action movies should naturally be It's normal to look for martial arts actors with skill and quick movements~!"

The general manager said.

"Well, your metaphor couldn't be more apt~"

Lan Shengli nodded and said.

"I was,,"

"In two days,,"

The two were chatting, suddenly paused for a while, and then suddenly talked together.

Obviously, the two people were not going to say the same thing.

"What did you say~?!"

"It's okay, general manager, please talk first~!"

The two also humbled each other.

"Say it,"

The general manager responded.

"That's it, after two days of the summer league, besides the players selected by us in this draft, and last year's rookies including Hill, who else are there~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"The summer league roster should have been reported, but after all, except for a few first-round picks, almost all of these players have no contracts, so they can be signed or cut at any time~"

The general manager responded.

"Oh, these days, I have been researching a few undrafted college games at home. I think there are a few players who I think can be signed to represent the team to play in the summer league. Give them a chance and try~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"During the vacation at home, you can still think about the team, Bruce, you are really good~!!"

The general manager looked at Lan Shengli with a gratified expression, and said.

"But what you said, the scouting team has given me a report before, and I have read it, and indeed signed a few undrafted picks, you can rest assured about this~!"

The general manager continued to respond.

"Oh, that's good, general manager, what did you want to say just now~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Sit down first, I'll talk to you."

As the general manager said, Lan Shengli sat on the sofa beside him.

"I told you before, probably at the beginning of last season, when we learned that Coach Dunleavy was no longer in charge of the team, I wanted to recommend you as the team's new head coach. Remember~!!"

the general manager asked.

"Remember~"

Lan Shengli nodded and said.

"Now that Dunleavy has resigned, the position of the team's head coach has indeed become vacant, but because it is the offseason and the boss Sterling is not here in Los Angeles, we are still unable to start the work of recruiting a new head coach. You should be able to understand this situation~!"

The general manager explained.

"Of course, of course I understand, it's nothing~!"

Lan Shengli nodded and responded calmly.

"So, this coaching job may have to be declined forever. In the summer league after that, the team is also planning to let the assistant coach lead the team to play games,"

The general manager continued to explain.

"Okay, I absolutely obey the team's arrangement~!"

Lan Shengli continued to nod his head and said.

"Although I don't know when the coach selection work will restart, but during this period, you should still do your job as the player performance director, don't think too much~!!"

The general manager exhorted.
