Chapter 753 Goal Playoffs

"Sorry, the team's training camp is not open to the public this morning. The training camp starting at [-] pm is open for one hour, and interviews are available~!!!"

At the entrance of the training hall of the Los Angeles Clippers base, the team staff spoke to the media staff.

Because this is the first day of the Clippers training camp, and the Clippers won the No. [-] pick during the offseason and promoted Lan Shengli, a mysterious young coach, so many people want to take a closer look at the current state of the team. What's the status like.

There must be a lot of questions to know what the team thinks.

In the training hall, the players just finished the test arranged by Lan Shengli-20 sets of sprint layups.

The assistant team is counting the results, and the last five players will miss the next training match.

This rule stipulated by Lan Shengli is indeed cruel.

Soon, the results will be counted.

"Are the main players doing well~?!"

Lan Shengli asked tentatively.

"No problem, I won't be eliminated~"

The teaching assistant responded.

"Okay, let's announce it directly~!"

Lan Shengli said.

The reason why Lan Shengli asks this question is that he still wants to "make a small fuss" in case there are unqualified main players.

"Next, let's announce the results, guard team~"

The teaching assistant quickly read it.

No matter which group it is, several older players, including Camby, are ranked behind and missed the next training match.

Time is not forgiving.

"Congratulations~!!"

Lan Shengli patted Camby on the shoulder and said.

"I was eliminated, congratulations~?! This is mocking me~!"

Camby frowned.

"No, I sincerely congratulate you. Through your results, I can confirm that you have trained in the previous offseason, your physical function is still very good, and you still have the ability to become a qualified rotation player~ !! You will definitely enter the rotation in the new season, I promise, so I want to congratulate you~!!"

Lan Shengli explained.

"If I were 5 years younger, I would definitely be faster than them~"

Camby shook his head, sighing.

"Haha, or in other words, other people at your age are definitely not as good as you~!! It's even hard to have a career as long as yours~!!"

Lan Shengli said with a smile.

"Haha, you're right~!!"

Camby continued to laugh, actively clenched fists with Lan Shengli, and sighed.

"Old soldiers don't die, they just wither slowly~"

Lan Shengli sighed inwardly.

Perhaps just through this simple conversation, the friendship between Lan Shengli and Camby has deepened, even though Camby can't play the training game.

"I have determined the grouping for the training match, Harden, Johnson and,,,"

Soon, Lan Shengli arranged a training match again.

This time, Lan Shengli did not put a few main players in the same team, but divided them into two teams, each with some role players, marginal players and players with training camp contracts.

"Move~!! Move~!! Move~!!"

"Switch on cover~!!, switch~!!"

"Pay attention to the rebound, it's stuck~!! You need to get stuck~!!!"

Lan Shengli ran back and forth on the sidelines like a referee following the offensive and defensive transitions of the two teams, shouting to remind the players.

"Perhaps this is the advantage of the young coach. He is really full of vitality and can really infect the players on the field~!!"

Seeing this, the general manager also sighed.

Looking at Lan Shengli's appearance, he finally has the demeanor of a young commander.

That state is completely different from the Lan Shengli who talks about it in peacetime.

"Crack!!"

"Good job~!! Keep it up~!!"

When making substitutions, Lan Shengli would also give high-fives to the off-field players.

"You go to defend Harden, pay attention to his left hand breakthrough, don't give it to the left hand~!!"

The players who came off the bench also came down to the field after Lan Shengli hastily ordered them to come down.

Lan Shengli tried his best to do everything by himself. This should also be a unique trait of a young coach.

Because it is a training game in the training camp, in order to observe as many players as possible, the game has very frequent substitutions.

Players such as Harden have already left the court to rest after confirming that they are in good condition, watching from the sidelines.

The morning training camp will soon be over.

"I have to take a shower, I'm sweating~"

Here Lan Shengli wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed.

It can be seen that Lan Shengli's exercise volume this morning is no lower than that of the players.

"Come on, young coach, it's up to you to see where these young players can lead the Clippers ~!"

The general manager also sighed.

After the training camp started in the afternoon, reporters flocked to the sidelines, looking for targets to interview.

For example, the No. [-] pick Harden, the marshal Lan Shengli, and the general manager all surrounded many reporters.

Although the identities of the three people are different, the questions asked by the reporters are not the same—"What is the team's goal for next season~?!"

Faced with such a question, the three people also had different answers.

"I want to play a high-level game, I want to prove my ability ~!!"

Of course Harden started from a personal point of view.

Lan Shengli and the general manager, of course, responded to this question from the perspective of the team.

"The new season is mainly to train young players, mainly to run the lineup~!!"

The general manager's answer was very low-key.

"The goal~, of course it's the playoffs~!!!"

Lan Shengli's answer was more straightforward and candid.

And Lan Shengli also stated this goal in the team's season mobilization meeting held later.

"Playoffs~?! Are you sure~?!"

When the team president heard this, he immediately asked with a questioning expression.

"I didn't expect Bruce to be so daring to say that if you can't achieve this kind of goal, you will have to pay a price~!"

The general manager became worried.

"I'm sure that any NBA team doesn't want to be the bottom of the league at the beginning of the season, and they don't want to be bad. They all have better goals. Maybe the team will start the season because of new young players. , with new vitality, we really have a chance to enter the playoffs, and even the championship~!! Of course, if the performance of young players is not satisfactory, if we have a large number of injuries, the postseason The competition may be just a matter of talking on paper~”

Lan Shengli explained.

"A team that has just been rebuilt for two years, even if it can enter the playoffs, I'm not sure whether this is good or bad for the team~"

Here boss Sterling also spoke.

"Before I agreed with you to perform bad performance and rebuild, it was based on my belief that you could build a lineup capable of winning championships in the future in a short period of time. If you only entered the playoffs, we would I've done it~"

Sterling continued, sounding like he was questioning Blue's winning goal.
