Chapter 1492 Lan Shengli's Transformation (Part [-])
"San Antonio~, here we come~"

In the Clippers' special plane, Lan Shengli sighed as the plane landed slowly.

"Five days later, will we leave here with a smile, or will we leave here unwillingly~?!"

Not long after, Lan Shengli stepped out of the cabin and continued to sigh.

The next two away games for the Clippers will be the most important games of the season.

After getting off the plane, the players immediately went to the "AT&T" center, home of the Spurs.

Started training.

"Are you really not going to tell the players about the starting change~?!"

After arriving at the arena here, Harper avoided the others and asked Lan Shengli alone.

"Yeah~, I still want to keep it a secret. After all, the media's communication ability is too strong now. Once I release any rumors, it may be spread~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"But in this way, I'm afraid that the players will not get used to it~, after all, they didn't expect to change the starting lineup~, isn't it too risky to do so~?!"

Harper continued to ask doubtfully.

"In this situation, it's time to take some risks~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"And I believe that Popovich should have been keeping it a secret before, and the effect is just as good~ So don't worry about it, that's it~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

It seems that Lan Shengli has convinced himself that he is really going to prepare for a "change".

And when it comes to confirming this idea, it was confirmed after talking with Harper in the coaching staff's office after losing the second game of the series.

"I didn't come up with this idea on the spur of the moment last night, but I already thought of it during the previous game~"

"Through these two games, you should also be able to feel that the chances of winning against the Spurs are not great. If you want to make some noise in the away game, you must take the initiative to change ~!!"

Lan Shengli said to Harper.

"But in my opinion, our starting lineup actually still has a lot of potential to be tapped. Blindly changing the starting lineup may be counterproductive, and once the change is over, it will not have the corresponding effect. Our coaching staff, especially you as the head coach, You have to bear a great responsibility, and this kind of change will also hit the self-confidence of some important players in the team to a certain extent~”

It can be heard that Harper has considered a lot.

"I know, I have considered all these, I will think twice before acting, don't worry~"

Although Lan Shengli said so on his lips, he already held a very firm attitude towards the change of formation in his heart.

It seemed that nothing could change Lan Shengli's mind.

Maybe even if Ballmer stops it, it won't work.

"Perhaps in this way, it can have a surprising effect,"

After that, Lan Shengli was alone in the office, continuing to study the "change".

"Then again, he brought these people up in the second quarter, and then he went up again at this time,,,"

Lan Shengli continued to study.

It seems that it's not just the starters that have changed, but the entire rotation.

As the game draws closer, the final results of Lan Shengli's transformation will also surface.

"Today's game, we are going to change formation~"

One hour before the start of the third game, and 30 minutes before the time for submitting the starting players, Lan Shengli said to the players in the locker room.

Hearing what Lan Shengli said, the expressions of all the players immediately became solemn.

Especially the looks of the starting players, it seems very elusive.

There are apprehensions, worries, and doubts.

No one thought that Lan Shengli would make a change at this time.

"First, DeAndre, Billups and George, you three go to the bench~"

Lan Shengli said bluntly.

"I know you must have a lot of doubts now, but I hope you can listen to me before you ask questions. If time permits, I will answer your questions one by one~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"The three players who are on the starting lineup are Brewer, Butler and Kaman~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

In other words, the Clippers' starters for this game became Harden, Brewer, Butler, Love and Kaman.

Such a starting lineup may have more experience in the playoffs than before, but no one knows what the impact and running-in will be.

Maybe Lan Shengli didn't know either.

"Then on the offensive end, play Love and Kaman at two points. Start from the inside. After attracting double-team defense, pay attention to the position of the outside players. On the defensive end, defend a 3-2 zone defense. On both sides of the basket, pay attention to the opponent's air cuts, and block the two oblique paths leading to the basket~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to exhort.

"I don't take any player off because he's not in form, I don't take any player on because they're in form, every single one of you is in good form, for the team, for the win, all of you Both starters and substitutes~”

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

In this case, the team members don't want to ask any more questions.

"The Spurs started out, there is no change, it's still regular~"

Taylor, who has been investigating the "enemy situation" here, suddenly said.

"It seems that the other party is very confident~ Let's show our cards first, then let's show our cards too~ Let's report it~, this time also surprise Popovich~"

Lan Shengli responded.

The team publicist nodded and quickly left the locker room.

"I didn't expect that Blue really changed his lineup, and he changed three starters at once. He is really brave. Popovich only changed two, and he directly changed three. This kind of courage is really not possessed by ordinary coaches~”

Harper witnessed all this beside Lan Shengli, and secretly sighed.

"Don't forget what I said to you in the locker room before: When you are given a chance, you can cherish it and grasp it~!!, don't let down the expectations of your family, the expectations of the ball management, teammates and coaches The expectations of the team, the expectations of the fans and all the supporters, let alone your own efforts for this sport, and every drop of sweat that has flowed~”

Lan Shengli continued to encourage the players.

"Okay, adjust your breathing, adjust your emotions, it's time to go~!"

"3, 2, 1~!!"

"Clipper~!"

After the vigorous slogans were shouted, the team members set off.

"Haha~, this guy Bruce really dares to play~, he changed three starters~"

Here Popovich quickly received the Clippers' starting list, but sighed calmly.

After all, Popovich has also experienced too many storms, and he has been able to face such small episodes more calmly.
