Chapter 809 Expedition to Texas (Part [-])
Because of the poor record since the start of the game, Lan Shengli has been under considerable pressure.

Team owner Sterling personally came to the base to talk to him.

Although the two of them didn't issue any military orders in the end, if the losing streak continues, I'm afraid Lan Shengli will really be "dismissed".

The general manager here also found Lan Shengli and started chatting.

"I hope the management can be more patient. On the premise of seeing the team lose, it is best to see the progress of the young players. This is more important. Although we can't win at the moment, but We aim for the future~!!"

Lan Shengli said to the general manager.

"Your eloquence is still as good as ever, but I'm going to say something ugly, Mr. Sterling doesn't seem to have much patience, it's best to end the losing streak as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be very difficult for me to help you ~!!"

The general manager responded.

"Mr. Sterling has already looked for me, we have already talked, according to my judgment, my position should still be very stable in a short time~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"I hope it's like this~, prepare for the battle~!"

The general manager patted Lan Shengli on the shoulder, said, and walked away.

"Hey~ It seems that the next game must be won~!!"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"It's been a long time since I felt this nervous~!"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

"After consultation with the coaching staff, the starting lineup will be adjusted for the game against the Mavericks the day after tomorrow. James Johnson, you will return to the bench, Gooden will be the starting No. [-], Thornton, you will return to No. [-]~!!"

After the training match, Lan Shengli said to the players.

Gooden listened and nodded, seemingly satisfied. Johnson was a little disappointed, but it was okay for a rookie to start as a substitute first.

"Other positions have not changed. The changes in the rotation due to the changes in the starting lineup will be explained in detail in the tactical drill~!!"

Lan Shengli added.

"The reason why I did this is that I don't have any personal ideas. I just want the team to have a better performance on the field. Again, this starting is not final. I still have to look at the personal performance of the next players. Those who only care about personal I will definitely not use a player who ignores the team's wins and losses if he uses data and statistics!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak in a very serious tone.

"Everyone pay attention to rest for 10 minutes, we will do some drills of new tactics in a while~"

Lan Shengli continued talking, turned around and went to the coaching staff to discuss.

"Great, I finally know that I have the ability to start~!! Haha~!! This time I come to the start, I don't plan to return to the bench, I must seize this opportunity, definitely~!!"

Here, Gooden is sitting on a sofa chair on the sidelines, drinking water, thinking to himself.

This man who was "calling the wind and calling the rain" by the little emperor's side back then has finally received the attention of the team, and it is indeed not easy.

Age plus injury problems, so that the peak of Gooden's career is actually running out.

"It doesn't matter, although it's a substitute, as long as you come to the court and play well, you can guarantee playing time~!!"

Here Harden comforted Johnson, who seemed a little unconvinced.

"I have no doubts about letting Gooden start, but I should replace Thornton~!"

Johnson responded.

"The coach also said just now that this first start is not the final result, so you still have the opportunity to prove yourself again through the follow-up games. Come on, I believe you can~!!"

Harden encouraged.

"Hmm~"

Johnson nodded and said.

"If Nowitzki wants to strangle him at this point, he must,"

"Kidd can't put too far on the perimeter,,,"

"Also, we must pay attention to Terry's off-ball running position,"

The coaching staff was discussing in a very tense state.

The pressure of losing streak is not only on Lan Shengli, but also on the entire coaching staff.

"Gooden, Nowitzki if,,,"

Soon, the new tactical drill link has begun.

Here, Lan Shengli is teaching Gudeng face-to-face one-on-one.

After all, Gooden will face "Nuotian King" in the first game after he came to the starting lineup, so he must prepare well.

If it can effectively limit Nowitzki's performance, it is tantamount to limiting the Mavericks' offense.

But how can it be so easy to limit "Nuo Tianwang"~! !

The assistant coach on the side is rehearsing tactics with other players, and the atmosphere of the Clippers' preparation for the game is still very strong.

"I'll go to the video room to watch the footage of the previous games of the Mavericks. Everyone take a good look at it, carefully observe your defensive players, and take a rest early at night~!!!"

At the end of the training session, Lan Shengli urged.

"Attention everyone, the offensive tactics of the Mavericks are actually very easy to identify, and they are also very easy to defend~!!"

While speaking, the team members finished their meal and came to the video room.

The video of the Mavericks' previous game was playing on the screen, Lan Shengli said.

The team members either crossed their legs or lay down comfortably, as if they were watching a movie.

Although the overall state is very relaxed, each player's expression is very focused, especially the rookies like Harden and Johnson.

After all, the players are also under pressure after losing three games in a row.

Lan Shengli has not felt the feeling of winning the game so far, and the same is true for Harden and Johnson~.

"Hey~, when will I get my first victory in my career~?!"

Harden watched the video and sighed secretly.

After all, Harden belonged to a winning school when he was in college, so he seldom experienced such a losing streak as he is now.

Soon, it was time to set off, and the players either wore trendy outfits or sporty training uniforms, and boarded the team plane one after another.

Lan Shengli lowered his head in a preoccupied manner and boarded the plane.

"Dezhou~, I'm coming again~!!"

Lan Shengli sat down, looked at the blue skyline, and sighed.

The last time Lan Shengli went to Texas was a year and a half ago, when he followed UCLA to participate in the March Madness game. One and a half years later, Lan Shengli has indeed undergone too many changes.

"Come on in the away game, I look forward to seeing you win your first coaching career!!"

"Hey, the first victory of my coaching career seems very far away~"

Here, Lan Shengli sighed secretly when he saw the text message that Mia sent over suddenly.

Perhaps the three-game losing streak made Lan Shengli a little bit extravagant about winning.

After nearly three hours of flight, the Clippers' special plane arrived at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
