Chapter 986 Another Year of Media Day

After attending Dawei's wedding and visiting Xiaojing, Lan Shengli has already set off to return to the United States.

Now there is still a month before the start of the new season, and there is less than a week left before the opening of the training camp for the new season.

At this point in time, NBA teams generally hold their annual media day.

Take photos of the players, coaching staff and all the staff of the team.

While speaking, the Clippers' media day for the new season has begun.

New players like Love and George put on Clippers jerseys, and they seemed to be discussing poses with other teammates for a while.

And Lan Shengli was chatting with Harper, who had just joined the coaching staff. Seeing the smiling faces of the two, it seemed that they had talked about very happy things.

And the reporters on the side are already eager to try. After all, "Media Day", the media is the protagonist, and they can ask questions unscrupulously today.

While speaking, the Clippers players were ready to start taking pictures.

First, Hill, Harden, George, Love, and Jordan Jr., the pre-booked Clippers starting five for the new season, came in front of the camera.

Behind the pure green background board, the five people looked very excited and happy, looking at the camera, all smiling brightly.

Hill hasn't changed much. For Harden, his beard is longer than before. The rookie George looks immature. Love's appearance is still the highest. And Jordan is naturally optimistic, so he smiles the happiest that.

"I am really looking forward to the scene of these five people playing together, that feeling, what kind of chemical reaction will it produce~?!, I am really looking forward to it~, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli looked at the five people and said with a smile.

Not to mention Lan Shengli, maybe even the five of them are looking forward to it.

Here Lan Shengli also changed into a dark polo shirt with the Clippers logo on it, ready to take pictures.

The coaching staff headed by Lan Shengli came to the green background board, facing the camera with a confident smile.

The message conveyed by that look is that the coaching staff is also full of infinite expectations for the new season.

"I'm getting more and more energetic, Coach Blue, haha~!!"

Player development coach Taylor, who was also wearing a dark coach polo shirt, sighed.

Perhaps before long, Taylor is one of the members of the coaching staff on stage.

After the group photo shoot, the next step is the solo photo session.

The players formed freely, and they all wanted to find the players with the best relationship in the team and take pictures together.

And the members of the coaching staff were also mixed in.

Lan Shengli is holding a basketball, with Love on the left and George on the right. The three of them took a photo.

The coaches and players had a great time filming, and the general manager of the team has already started to be interviewed.

"What is the team's goal for the new season~?!"

Various microphones and recording pens were placed in front of the general manager, and the first question was very acute.

"The goal is the playoffs, there is no doubt about it ~, we have a lot of young players, full of potential and talent, when we realize these potentials and talents, it is time to win the game ~!"

The general manager said very confidently.

"Then will the team still have a signing plan~?! The Clippers still have a lot of salary space~!!"

The second question is equally practical.

"If there is an opportunity to strengthen the team, then we will definitely do it. There is no doubt about it. I know that the Clippers still have a lot of room for improvement~"

The general manager continued to answer.

"Milisic did not appear in today's media day, what is his situation~?!"

The questions raised are sharper than the last.

But it is true that new aids such as Farmar and Bass all came to the media day, but Milicic, who was traded from the Timberwolves, did not appear.

"Milicic's situation is still hard to say. We have contacted his agent. He does have some injuries, which makes it inconvenient for him to move, but the Clippers will work hard to bring him back to Los Angeles. There is no doubt about it~"

The general manager responded.

It seems that Milicic's situation should be more complicated, but after all, the Clippers are mostly young players, so maybe even if Milicic returns to the team, he won't have much playing time~

After finishing all the filming here, Lan Shengli also began to accept interviews.

"What is the team's goal for the new season~?!"

The first question remains the same, as if the person asking the question is the same.

"The next question, I guess the general manager has already answered it~"

Lan Shengli smiled and replied half-jokingly.

"The general manager replied that he was trying to enter the playoffs~"

The reporter said immediately.

"Hmm~, it's quite practical. After all, the West is very competitive now. If we want to win the game, we must work hard every night, and every player must play~"

Lan Shengli got serious.

"Last season, we reached the fifth position in the Western Conference with all the members in place. Today, the team has strengthened some weak links, and the depth of the bench has also been strengthened, so there is reason to believe that the team There is a great opportunity to achieve better results than last season in the new season~!"

Lan Shengli continued to answer seriously.

"There are too many young players in the team, will it affect the development of young players~!?"

The reporter continued to ask.

"This should not be the case. After all, as long as there is a benign competitive environment, the young people in the team can improve. Everyone competes with each other and learns from each other. This is also the atmosphere our coaching staff strives to create~"

Lan Shengli nodded and said.

"What will the arrival of Coach Harper bring to the team~?!"

Compared with the general manager, the head coach Lan Shengli obviously has more questions to answer.

"Coach Harper was known for being strong and iron-blooded in the player era. This is what the Clippers needed to strengthen before, so Coach Harper has the ability to transform a team's style and change the team's DNA~ This is the point. very important~”

Lan Shengli said with a very high evaluation.

"And Coach Harper can take the Clippers' defense to another level. We have a lot of good players on the offensive end, but the defensive end is still unsatisfactory, but I believe Coach Harper can change everything~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"What do you expect from the team's young players, especially young players like George and Love~?!"

Reporters seemed primed to ask questions for a day.

"As a rookie, George should adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game as soon as possible. This is very important. For Love, I think he can seamlessly connect with the Clippers. He is a player who really plays with his brain. This is very important. Important~!!"

Lan Shengli replied, giving Le Fu a high evaluation.
