Chapter 895 Gaining recognition, looking forward to tomorrow

The 09-10 season NBA regular season has come to the final day.

The Clippers, who missed the playoffs early, played their final game against the Golden State Warriors at home.

Except for the two sides playing inextricably in the first quarter, the Warriors had the upper hand at the rest of the time.

The Warriors finally won the final battle and gave the Clippers a six-game losing streak as the end of the season.

Such a result is obviously not what the Clippers promised at the beginning of the season.

What they hope is that the Clippers can win as many games as possible and then break into the playoffs.

When the Clippers were fully staffed, they also once came to the sixth position in the Western Conference. However, due to injuries and other reasons after that, the team has been unable to climb the record.

The Clippers' final regular season record this season is fixed at 32 wins and 50 losses.

Compared with last season, there is not much change.

Lan Shengli's first season as the NBA head coach has also come to an end.

Because he signed a "2+1" contract with the Clippers, Lan Shengli will definitely continue to be the coach of the Clippers next season and lead the youth team forward.

It's just that if the team still can't make it to the playoffs next season, I'm afraid Lan Shengli's coaching position will be a bit dangerous.

"Huh~!!!, the rookie season is over, haha, suddenly I feel a lot lighter~!!!"

After Lan Shengli shook hands with the Warriors players and coaches, he said as he walked towards the player tunnel while untying his tie.

It can be seen that Lan Shengli is indeed under considerable pressure.

This is not only Lan Shengli's first season, but also the first season of two rookies, Harden and Johnson.

Harden played a total of 75 games in the regular season, averaging 29.6 minutes per game, scoring 15.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.5 steals, shooting 41.5% from the field, 31.9% from the three-point range, and 78.6% from the free throw line. %, the overall performance can be said to be more and more stable.

After Thornton was traded away from the team, Harden became the team's scoring leader.

Maybe as a top pick, failing to average 20 points per game seems to be a little unsatisfactory in scoring ability, but Harden has been improving and trying to improve himself. You can see Harden's growth in every game. This is for the Clippers. The team is the most important.

And another rookie, Johnson, who is also expected by Lan Shengli, is not as comprehensive as Harden in terms of statistics.

Johnson played 80 games, started 66 games, averaged 24.1 minutes per game, scored 8.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.3 steals.

But Johnson's ability and his impact on the game are really not reflected by statistics.

Like Harden, Johnson is also growing slowly and making progress, which is very important~! !

"Crack, crack, crack, crack ~!!!"

"Papa papa papa ~!!!"

After returning to the locker room, Lan Shengli did not speak, but led the coaching staff to nod and clap at the players.

Perhaps because they did not win the final battle, the players were a little disappointed, so they seemed a little hesitant to applaud the coaching staff.

"After one season, everyone has worked hard~!!!"

Lan Shengli said to everyone in the locker room.

"Maybe this season ends with No.12 in the Western Conference, which is not satisfactory, but I hope that you can gain a lot like me~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Moreover, I want to thank everyone in this room, every player, whether you stay with the Clippers next season or leave, I am proud to have coached you, thank you to my assistant coach Teams, it is you who make me, a rookie coach, look so calm and calm every night. I also want to thank the logistics support team. You are silently contributing behind the scenes. It cannot be recorded by the camera, but it is all in my eyes~!! , and the medical team, you are the key link to ensure the long-term persistence of our team~!!, you should be respected by everyone~!!"

Lan Shengli said in a very sincere tone.

"Everyone go home tonight and have a good rest. After fighting for more than half a year, everyone has worked hard~!!! Thank you again~!!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak, directly bowing at ninety degrees to everyone.

"Crack~!!"

"Crack clap clap!!!"

Seeing this, the team members and other staff applauded in response.

Although he failed to lead the Clippers to the playoffs, it was not easy for Lan Shengli to successfully end his rookie season.

Although the regular season is over, it will take some time to really start life in the offseason, and Lan Shengli still needs to do a lot of work.

For example, inspecting college players, such as conducting a season summary.

On the second day after the end of the regular season, Lan Shengli participated in the season summary meeting hosted by Mr. Sterling at the Clippers base.

This meeting is basically three key words "review", "arrangement" and "forecast".

Review the team's performance this season, arrange some work plans for the offseason management, and look forward to the team's next goals.

First, boss Sterling spoke.

"The Clippers this season belong to an absolutely new Clippers team. Not only are the team mostly young players, but even the head coach is a rookie~, so such a young team can gain 32 victories, especially It's really not easy to get it when the team's injury factor is relatively large~"

Sterling said.

"And I can feel that as long as the team is complete, we can win more games, we can enter the playoffs, and we can go further in the playoffs~"

Mr Sterling went on.

"So as far as people can see hope, Coach Blue has done a good job, and I recognize you~"

Sterling looked at Lan Shengli, nodded and said.

Seeing this, Lan Shengli nodded immediately.

"Coupled with the draft picks we collected through the mid-season trade, and sufficient salary space, I am full of confidence in the future of the team. I believe that under the leadership of Coach Blue, the team will quickly The fleet is built to become a team with the strength to win the championship, win the championship, and create history belonging to the Clippers~!!!”

Sterling continued to speak confidently.

These words sound like encouragement to Lan Shengli, but they are also an invisible and huge pressure on Lan Shengli.

After all, the Clippers have never won a championship.

"I want everyone to know that there are not only the Lakers in Los Angeles, but also the Clippers~!!!"

Sterling continued to speak passionately.
