Chapter 760 Let it go, Harden~! ! (superior)
"In the 2009 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected with the first pick, James Harden, from Arizona State University~!!!"

In Madison Square Garden three months ago, under Stern's reading, the Clippers used their No. [-] pick to select Harden, who was not thought to be a popular player for the No. [-] pick.

The Clippers have also been questioned a lot because of this choice. Some people think they are crazy, and some people think that if they give up Griffin, they will give up everything in the future.

Three months later, such doubts and judgments are becoming more and more true.

It's not how well Griffin played, but that Harden became the "unable to support the fool".

After several preseason games, Harden's state is "very stable" and has been very sluggish. While his offensive ability has not been shown, he has also been targeted on the defensive end.

For such a situation, the team owner Sterling couldn't stand it anymore. He directly called an emergency meeting to chat with Lan Shengli about Harden's situation.

"Come on, our coach Blue, this is the No. [-] pick you chose in the draft year~?! This is the No. [-] pick you said can become a cornerstone player~?! This is the future of the team you said~?! "

Lan Shengli was very calm about the boss's questioning, and said: This is a good thing.

"Good thing~!?, God~!!, this turned out to be a good thing~?!, are you an undercover agent sent by the Lakers~?!"

Sterling, of course, seemed even angrier when he heard that.

If Sterling was the emperor in ancient times, I am afraid that at this time he would say: "Pull it out, cut it~!!"

"Yes, I'm very glad that Harden showed his problems and shortcomings in the preseason, which allows us to better prepare for the regular season. Isn't this the meaning of the preseason~?!"

Lan Shengli said in a calm state.

"During the summer league, I said that Harden did not show a dominant performance in that level of competition. You said that he and the team's tacit understanding was not enough, and now he has practiced together for so long. , the tacit understanding should be enough, or not~!!, you waited with me until the regular season~?!"

Sterling continued to question.

"If Harden still plays like he does now when he waits until the higher-level games in the regular season, you won't tell me to let me wait for next season~!!"

Sterling asked, his tone turned cold, making people feel a little "shuddering".

"In the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that can see the hope of hitting the championship in the second year of reconstruction. Even LeBron, the favorite of heaven, failed to help the team enter the rookie season. Playoffs, so I think boss, you should be more patient, give me and the team more time, the team and I will get better, definitely will~!!"

Lan Shengli responded with a sincere tone.

"How can I trust you~?! If it was Hill, if other players played like that, I wouldn't care at all, but Harden played like this, his performance, so I can't see him having any future and future. Development~!!!"

Listening to the boss, it seems that he is still struggling with Harden's performance.

"Well, Mr. Sterling, let me tell you something about Harden. I have analyzed his sluggish performance in the past few preseason games. I think his hard power must still be there. But his mentality has changed a lot now~!!”

Lan Shengli began to analyze.

"If Harden is in the tenth pick, or the third pick, or the fourth pick, he may play better than now, because there will not be too much pressure in that position, and the No. [-] pick will not It’s the same, you have no room for bad performance, everyone is watching you and watching your performance, if you perform well, that’s your normal level, if you don’t perform well, that’s the original sin~!!! The original sin of a champion ~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to analyze.

"I think Harden is under too much psychological pressure at this stage. Whether it was in high school or Arizona State University, Harden was never praised as he is now, which made his mentality change. And it is this This kind of change in mentality makes him want to play well, but he can't play well~!! This is a vicious circle, and maybe you should also feel that Harden is a player who is not good at communicating with others, so this It also caused him to become isolated and helpless~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak, Sterling didn't respond, but the general manager nodded repeatedly.

"So the more this is the case, we should take the initiative to help Harden, help him with psychological counseling and construction, and let him regain his confidence~!!"

Lan Shengli concluded.

"So you said so much, you just want to tell me that it is because of Harden's lack of ability to resist pressure that caused his current sluggish performance~?!"

Sterling asked.

"Not all, but this factor has a lot to do~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Then we have to hire a psychiatrist for Harden~?!"

Sterling continued to ask.

"I don't need this, I can completely replace the role of a psychiatrist~!!!"

Lan Shengli nodded and said with a firm expression.

Hearing what Lan Shengli said, Sterling didn't know how to reply~
"Please believe me, Mr. Sterling, I will get Harden back on track, and I will let him play the strength that the champion should have~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"If the performance is still like this in the regular season, don't blame me for making some mandatory transactions~!!"

Sterling said.

In this way, Lan Shengli helped Harden overcome a difficulty, but if he wants to overcome the real difficulty and gain the trust of the boss, Harden needs to work hard on his own.

"Let's talk~!!"

Soon, Lan Shengli found Harden who had just finished strength training in the gym.

The two came to the relaxation room with massage chairs.

The lights in the room were dim, and Lan Shengli turned on the projector, playing the classic Hollywood movie "Forrest Gump".

"Didn't you want to chat with me~?! Why is there a movie~?!"

Harden lay comfortably on the recliner, watched the video, and asked.

"This movie is too long, why don't we change it~!! I like to watch the Marvel series~!"

Harden continued.

"When you let Boss Sterling say he's satisfied with you, watch Marvel again~!!"

Lan Shengli also lay down and spoke.

"You, what do you mean~?! Did Sterling say anything~?!"

Harden asked immediately.

"Sterling didn't say anything, he just found me before and wanted to express an attitude to me, an attitude that is very dissatisfied with you~!!"

Lan Shengli said bluntly.
