Chapter 732 Follow the flow of the interview process
"How is Harden doing~?!"

At the regular meeting of the Clippers at the end of each month, owner Sterling asked about the general manager.

"It's not bad, it's a normal performance~"

The general manager responded.

"Where's Griffin~?!"

Sterling continued to ask.

After all, Sterling has not participated in the operation of the team since the draft, so taking advantage of the meeting, I also want to get to know it better.

"I don't know much about Griffin's situation. It seems that there are some injuries~"

The general manager responded.

"No matter how talented a player is, no matter how strong his combat power is, even if he is blown to the sky, if he can't maintain his health for a long time, it doesn't mean much~"

Sterling said.

"The overall performance of the two players we selected last year was fairly passable. They didn't bring any surprises, but they didn't disappoint too much. I hope these rookies can bring some surprises this year. After all, they are the No. [-] picks~ !!"

Sterling sighed.

"Don't worry about this, Bruce's choice should be fine~!"

The general manager responded immediately.

"By the way, how is Brand's recovery from injury~?!"

Sterling continued to ask.

"I went to the hospital for a follow-up visit before, and the recovery is good, but there is still a long time before basketball training is resumed. The next thing to do is,"

"Just tell me, can he play next season~?!"

Sterling was a little impatient, so he interrupted the general manager and asked.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to play most of the next season. Brand was injured in early February this year. If the recovery period is as fast as ten months, it will have to wait until the end of this year. But at Brand's current age Considering it, it must be later, and players who have suffered such serious injuries often choose to let them take a rotation in back-to-back games, so it is conservatively estimated that Brand may miss more than half of the games next season~! !"

The general manager analyzed.

"Brand's salary next season is 1600 million, but he can play 40 games a day, and each game is 40, which is really expensive~"

Sterling said, shaking his head.

For a boss with a character like Sterling, perhaps in his eyes, if he can't win the championship, all he thinks about is how much benefit this team can bring him.

This is the style of a typical old capitalist.

"Bland can guide young players off the court, impart experience to them, and help young players grow. This is an invaluable asset~!!"

The general manager argued.

"We have player development analysts and trainers. This is their job. There are so many people doing a job. Are you reminding me to refine the staff~?!"

Sterling's expression gradually became serious.

"Just tell the truth, with Brand's current state and salary, this contract has three years left, has it become a garbage contract~?!"

Sterling continued to ask.

"Mr. Sterling, you,, what do you mean~?!"

Brand asked in a cautious tone.

"If there is a good opportunity, good chips, it's best to give him away. I don't like players with big contracts and wearing suits all night~!! What I need is someone who can play for me and win for the team Player~!!"

Sterling still spoke in a serious tone.

"Ok~, I see, Mr. Sterling, I will find a way to deal with it~!!"

The general manager immediately responded with a promise.

Because the general manager knew of Sterling's "one thing and one thing" character, he stopped arguing, and he just said what he said.

"Thank you for your hard work, I have nothing else to do~"

Sterling said and got up.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Sterling, when will the competition for the head coach resume~?!"

The general manager suddenly asked.

"If you all agree that Bruce can be the head coach, you can do it at any time. Anyway, it's just a process~"

Sterling responded.

It sounds like Sterling doesn't have much opinion on Lan Shengli's decision to be the team's head coach.

"Well, since Mr. Sterling said so, I will arrange to restart the internal competition for the head coach in the past few days~"

The general manager replied immediately.

"Good~"

Sterling agreed.

With the support of the boss, I believe the general manager will have more confidence in the next "process-based interview".

While speaking, it was the day of the internal competition.

"Today is the most important day in the past two and a half years, so I don't have much to say~!! Let's sprint towards the final focus and goal~!!"

Standing in front of the mirror, Lan Shengli said to himself, which could be regarded as cheering himself up.

Soon, Lan Shengli set off.

Together with Lan Shengli, four people participated in the recruitment competition, including the team's chief data analyst, general player development consultant, senior vice president of the basketball affairs department, and Lan Shengli, who is the team's player performance director and senior consultant of the basketball affairs department.

All four of them have one thing in common, that is, they are young and promising, with an average age of around 35 years old.

Lan Shengli is the smallest among them and has the shortest time in the Clippers.

Based on this point alone, Lan Shengli has no advantage, or even his disadvantage.

However, the advantages that Lan Shengli possessed, I believe that the other candidates will never possess them.

The team president, team general manager, team chief assistant and owner Sterling's team senior consultant formed the interview team.

The entire interview process was as expected, as if going through the process for a known result.

No matter what the other candidates said or did, the interviewers just nodded in agreement, as if they didn't really listen.

But when it comes to Lan Shengli, the situation is quite different.

"Good morning, four leaders. I am the team's player performance director and concurrently a senior consultant of the basketball affairs department. Today I am competing for the position of the team's head coach~"

Even if it was a simple self-introduction, the general manager and the others nodded immediately.

That feeling is like participating in a blind date show, one after another single girl walks by in front of you, even if they talk and laugh happily, but they don’t seem to feel anything, and suddenly a girl who makes you fall in love at first sight comes, she doesn’t have to do anything, Just standing there, everything is already very beautiful.

"For the head coach of the team, I think it should be done,,,"

After all, it is a procedural interview, so there is still a necessary presentation link.

Lan Shengli read the speech he had prepared, and the interviewers below, especially the general manager, nodded from time to time, as if they wanted to announce the success of the competition immediately.
