ace marshal

Chapter 807 The young marshal who was questioned again

At the Clippers' season mobilization meeting a month and a half ago, Lan Shengli once set the team's goal for the new season as the playoffs.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is also cruel.

The team's three-game losing streak directly led to the bottom position in the Western Conference, which put the young coach Lan Shengli on the cusp.

"Is this Blue going to do it~?! He was still talking about the playoffs before the start of the game. Now that he has lost three games in a row, what will he get into the playoffs~?! And the lineup he is building now, I didn't look at it at all To any hope, it is not as good as the previous lineup ~!!"

The first to question was the boss Sterling.

"At the season ticket holders meeting before, I vowed to let them see a brand new team. Is this the result~?! We lost three games in a row at the beginning of the season, and they lost every game. This is a disgrace to the Clippers~!"

Sterling continued to vent his anger at the general manager, but the general manager could only listen and dare not say more.

"If I continue to lose, maybe I will consider changing the head coach~!"

Sterling has given Lan Shengli an ultimatum.

"I'm going to the team base tomorrow morning, and I want Lan Shengli to explain to me in person~!!"

Sterling seems to be about to act immediately.

"What kind of handsome is this, it's not good at all~!!"

"I think he is a layman, too amateur~!"

"I even think he doesn't know anything about 2-3 zone defense at all, and he doesn't know what high and low positions are~"

"Hey, I really don't understand why the Clippers want to find such a person as the head coach, it's really too sloppy~!!"

Not only the management, but even the fans began not to buy Lan Shengli's account.

"Hey~, I remember watching Coach Harper, Coach Holland, and old Coach Dunleavy. Their jobs were very easy. I didn't realize it until I became the head coach. It's not the same thing at all. ~"

Soaking in the bathtub at home, Lan Shengli sighed with his eyes closed.

"When the team wins, it's the players' credit. If the team loses, it's all the coach's fault. Maybe it's called taking the blame~haha~"

Lan Shengli smiled helplessly and sighed.

"Hey~, what's wrong with the team now~?! Could it be that the current lineup is really too weak~?! Could it be that I overestimated these young players~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to be puzzled.

"But in the opening game, they obviously played very well, but why can't they continue, and the power is always cut off~?!"

Lan Shengli frowned, thinking.

"Hey~, I hope I'm not the first head coach to dismiss get out of class this season, I hope I can win the next game~"

Lan Shengli prayed.

"Hey, Bruce, I heard that Sterling is coming this morning. It seems that he is looking for you specifically. You need to prepare well~!"

Here the next morning, after Lan Shengli came to the team base, Taylor said to Lan Shengli.

"Mr. Sterling is coming~?!"

When Lan Shengli heard this, he was immediately puzzled.

"It must be about the three-game losing streak, but why didn't the general manager inform me in advance~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to be puzzled.

"The general manager is very busy now. The team is not in good shape after the start of the season. The general manager is busy negotiating with other teams to find ways to strengthen~!!"

Taylor heard it and immediately explained.

"Reinforcement~~, changing the lineup structure during the season will greatly affect the reconstruction and the tacit understanding of young players~!!"

Lan Shengli shook his head and denied it.

"We have no right to intervene in management matters, even if you are the head coach, so hurry up and find a way for the team to win~!!"

Taylor said.

"By the way, I also heard that the management, especially some senior executives, are increasingly questioning you. You are really dangerous now~!!"

Taylor continued.

"Thanks, I'll take care of this~"

Lan Shengli nodded and walked towards the training hall.

Soon, Lan Shengli received a notification: Sterling had arrived at the team base and was going to meet Lan Shengli alone.

"The visitor is not kind~"

Lan Shengli shook his head, sighed, and prepared for the meeting with his boss, Sterling.

Soon, the two met in the small meeting room of the training hall.

In the conference room with the curtains drawn, there were only Lan Shengli and Sterling.

This can be regarded as an absolutely confidential conversation.

"Three consecutive losses, with an average loss of more than 15 points per game, do you have anything to say~?!"

Sterling asked straight to the point.

"Sorry, Mr. Sterling, the team is really not in a good state recently, and I am responsible for the loss~!!"

Lan Shengli lowered his head halfway and said.

"I don't like to dwell on the past. If I lose, I lose. Even the Bulls in their heyday were only 72 wins and 10 losses. So after 82 regular season games, it is impossible to remain undefeated forever, but If you lose regularly, it’s a problem~!”

Sterling said.

"I want to hear the reasons you summed up for the three-game losing streak~!!"

Sterling continued.

"The reasons for the losing streak are basically divided into subjective reasons and objective reasons. The subjective factor is that my estimation of young players is a bit high. I didn't expect that the team's running-in is not so good, and the players' personal abilities are not enough. They influence the game, but they are still studying hard, which is very valuable~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

Sterling listened with a straight face, but nodded slightly.

"The objective reason is that the schedule is really difficult and unfriendly for us. Whether it is the defending champion, the Jazz, or the Trail Blazers, they are all playoff-level teams. They must be far behind us in terms of strength. There is no doubt about the difference, just like I said when I lost to the Lakers in the first game, summing up the lost game, I think when we meet again, if we can improve, then this The loss is meaningful~!!"

Lan Shengli explained.

"Then in the next back-to-back away games, is there any possibility for the team to win~?!"

Sterling continued to ask.

As the boss, Sterling does not like to discuss the process, only wants to know the final result.

"Of course, there is an idiom in China called bottoming out. After three consecutive losses, we have basically hit the bottom. Although the Mavericks are also stronger than us, I still believe that the team can play in Texas. Get the first win of the new season in Dallas~!!"

Lan Shengli still spoke with confidence.

"What if you can't win~?!"

The boss continued to ask.

"I only think about how to win, not how to lose ~!!"

Lan Shengli paused for a while, then said in a firm tone.
