Chapter 830 In-depth Conversation with Harden
"The head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team~, my God, what an amazing position it is~!!"

"Although I really want to play for the country, but with my current ability, can I really lead a national team~?!"

Walking on the streets of Houston, Lan Shengli couldn't help sighing as he thought about the conversation he had with Yao Ming 5 minutes ago.

"Hey~, it's better not to think so much, a person's energy is always limited, focus on the present~!"

As Lan Shengli spoke, he quickened his pace.

The afternoon training here will start soon.

The players are still doing shooting training on the field, and the Rockets players also came to the field.

Lan Shengli and the coaching staff discussed tactics and the final formation in the locker room.

"Do you want to keep Harden in the starting lineup~?!"

The assistant coach here asked.

"Harden only played less than 15 minutes last night. He should be the team with the best physical fitness, so let's keep the starting position. After all, I believe that Harden can't be in bad form for two consecutive games~"

As Lan Shengli said, he was also supporting Harden.

"Okay, so it's still Hill, Harden, Thornton, Gooden and Jordan~?!"

The assistant coach continued to ask.

"What lineup is the Rockets expected to start~?!"

Lan Shengli frowned, thinking and asking.

"Aaron Brooks, Kevin Martin, Shane Battier, Luis Scola and Chuck Hayes, the Rockets' lineup for the first few games is like this~"

The assistant coach looked at the pre-match analysis report and said.

"If it's such a lineup, we have a great advantage inside, but it's a pity that Jordan doesn't have the ability to attack independently. Anyway, because of back-to-back games, the starting players can't play for too long, so just take a look, if possible. , speed up the rotation frequency~!"

Lan Shengli responded, acquiescing to his starting lineup.

"Without Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, who were absent due to injuries, the Rockets now look like a civilian team, but you must not underestimate the Rockets, after all, they are Texas cockroaches~!!!"

Looking at the pre-match analysis report, Lan Shengli couldn't help sighing.

After finishing the final analysis, the players also finished training, returned to the locker room, and held the final preparation meeting before the game.

"Everyone must pay attention to defending Scola, his ability is still very good,,, and,,"

Lan Shengli reminded him.

"The other thing is to pay attention to the distribution of physical energy. Back-to-back matches consume more energy, so everyone must pay more attention. If you feel tired and can't move, please tell me quickly, because injuries are most likely to occur when you are physically fatigued." Sickness, I don’t want any player to have injury problems~!!”

Lan Shengli continued to exhort.

The team members also listened carefully.

The preparation will be over soon, and the players have left the locker room one after another. This time is the most important thing before the preparation for the game-eating.

"Harden, come with me~"

Lan Shengli suddenly stopped Harden.

"What's wrong~?!"

Harden turned his head, looked at Lan Shengli with an innocent expression, and asked.

"Come on~"

Lan Shengli just waved his hand and didn't say much.

Seeing this, Harden quickly followed.

"What happened~?!"

Harden followed Lan Shengli to the video room and continued to ask.

Because it is an away game, the so-called video hall is actually a material room used by the away team, with some office supplies in it.

"You should know, you will continue to start the game tonight~"

Lan Shengli asked.

"I know~"

Harden nodded and said.

"So in order to prevent you from performing like you did in Dallas again, I prepared a video clip of you in the last game~"

As Lan Shengli said, he turned on the laptop and played it quickly.

"Oh my god~, it's a catastrophic performance~"

Harden looked at his game highlights, shaking his head and sighing.

"In order to prevent you from doing this in the next game, I want to talk to you~!"

Lan Shengli pressed the pause button and spoke.

"What are you talking about~?!"

Harden asked.

"To tell you the truth, the coaching staff had a strong tendency to put you on the bench before, but I didn't agree. I just want to give you a chance. The purpose of saying this is to hope that you can know that tonight may be your last season of the season. Here's my chance~!"

Lan Shengli looked at Harden very seriously and said.

"What, what does this mean~?!"

Harden looked at Lan Shengli in surprise and asked.

"If you still perform like last night tonight, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to compete for the starting position~!! This position may not belong to you in a short time~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Then what should I do~!? You are the head coach, you should tell me how to play well~!!"

Harden asked.

"There is a method, a very simple method, and it is also the method I told you before, maybe you have forgotten~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"What~?!"

Harden frowned and asked.

"Think of the Clippers as Arizona State University, and the NBA as the NCAA~!!"

Lan Shengli reminded.

"The reason why you were able to perform well in the opening game, but the decline in the next few games is because your game state is not right, or your mentality has changed. You want to maintain your performance in the opening game. I want to play beautiful data, but obviously this is not easy~!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"And obviously you didn't focus on the game, calm down, let yourself focus on the court, focus on your performance, and give yourself completely to the game~!!"

Lan Shengli pressed Harden's shoulder and said.

Harden nodded, as if he half understood.

"Even Michael Jordan will have ups and downs, which is normal. After all, we are not robots, but if we want to achieve stable performance for a long time, after all, we must be able to fully dedicate ourselves to the game~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Or let me put it more bluntly, if you want to give your single mother a better life and want to completely change the fate of your family, an NBA No. [-] pick is far from enough, and you have to do too much Yes, but now you have a big platform like the NBA, which is very rare, you have to grasp it~!!"

Lan Shengli said earnestly.

"I see, coach, I will respond to your support with performance, and I will work hard to play well in the next game~!!, I will definitely~!!"

Harden nodded and said.
