Chapter 648 Decision ([-])
In order to make the most ideal and appropriate decision, Lan Shengli came to the old Dunleavy's house for advice.

"As the head coach of the Clippers, I am also a party to your decision, so my words may be biased, which may mislead you, so do you really want to listen to my advice~? !"

The old coach Dunleavy asked here.

"It doesn't matter, you can just give me advice as the head coach of the Clippers, or, if I go to the Clippers and become the director of player performance, what will happen~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

The two discussed it.

"What kind of job is a player performance director~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to ask.

"This job is basically similar to your current video analyst at UCLA, except that the director of player performance is more of a supervisory role than an analysis, and he doesn't know how to deal with video~!!"

Old Dunleavy explained.

"Oh, that's it~!!"

"Moreover, the player performance director has the most different situation from the video analyst, that is, the player performance director not only has to supervise the performance of his own team's players, but also observes other teams at all times, which is basically equivalent to an intelligence report. Collecting the performance of players from other teams is not only beneficial to the team’s preparations, but also beneficial to the team’s actions in the trading market~!!”

Old Dunleavy continued to add.

"Oh~!! So that's the case, now I understand, then it seems that the director of player performance is indeed not a worthless job~!!"

Lan Shengli said with a look of sudden realization.

"Yeah, this job is very important. The team usually finds some retired players to do this job, because after all, they used to be athletes and have more unique insights into player performance. Rotten, so I think there is nothing wrong with using your words~!!"

Old Dunleavy continued.

"Then do you think I am suitable for this job~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"You have a strong ability to observe players, analyze games, and have excellent learning ability, so I think you should be familiar with this job~!!"

Old Dunleavy nodded and said in a tone of approval.

"Then what do you think,, me,, what is my prospect in the Clippers~?!"

Lan Shengli hesitated, but asked out anyway.

"I can't say this well. I know you want to be the head coach of the NBA, and you also know that I have the last year left on my contract with the Clippers. Maybe after this year, I will retire. So whether the team will promote among the assistant coaches, openly recruit candidates for the head coach, or use this time to vigorously train you,,, this is really hard to say~!!"

Old Dunleavy responded.

"The Clippers are currently in a rebuilding period. It is unlikely that they will openly recruit a head coach. I also know your assistant team well. They are all talents who are good at a certain direction. It seems that it is still difficult to lead the overall situation~"

Lan Shengli couldn't help analyzing it.

"According to what you said, the head coach of the Clippers belongs to you, haha~!!!"

Hearing what Lan Shengli said, Old Dunleavy laughed out loud.

"You misunderstood, I just described it like this, I want to be an NBA head coach, I know I still have a lot to learn~!!"

Lan Shengli responded humbly.

"Well said~!! There are many young coaches in this league who have transformed from non-professional players, or young coaches, but they are almost 40 years old before they can climb to the position of head coach. At your age, you want to directly become an NBA coach. Head coach, it is indeed very difficult~!!"

Old Dunleavy responded.

"You should accumulate more, accumulate more~!!"

Old Dunleavy continued to exhort.

"I will~!!"

Lan Shengli agreed with a serious expression.

"Listen to what I said so much, and I'll listen to you too, what do you think of these three choices~?!"

Old Dunleavy continued to ask.

"My wish is to return to the NBA as soon as possible, and I think I have accumulated enough experience in campus basketball~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"In this way, renewing the contract with UCLA is already the lowest level of choice~!! In this case, the next question is even simpler. You have to make a decision, which is to prepare to be an assistant coach in the Development League. Let’s continue to be the hero behind the scenes~!”

Old Dunleavy guided.

"Then do you think the Development League really has "development"~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to ask.

"Sorry, I have never paid attention to the development league, so I don't know the situation there. I only know that many undrafted rookies and players who can't make the team's rotation list will play there and fight for jobs for themselves. But I really don’t know much about the work of the management over there, so I really can’t help you~!”

Old Dunleavy responded.

"It's okay, I,,"

"Dad, is there a guest~?!"

Just when Lan Shengli was about to respond, Dunleavy Jr., the son of old Dunleavy and now an NBA player, suddenly appeared in the living room.

"Oh, here we come, sit down~!!"

Seeing this, old Dunleavy greeted him.

"Let me introduce you, this one is the one I mentioned to you before, who helped me, and now works at UCLA~!"

"You should know this person too, I won't introduce you~!"

Old Dunleavy said.

"The number one scorer in the Pacers after Granger, the team's three-point leader, you played well this season~!!"

Lan Shengli looked at little Dunleavy and said.

"Oh~!! I thought that people who work at UCLA only care about NCAA games~!! I didn't expect you to pay attention to NBA~!!"

Little Dunleavy raised his eyebrows and said in a surprised tone.

"Maybe it has something to do with my liking to buy lottery tickets, haha~!"

Lan Shengli said jokingly.

"Haha~!!"

Old Dunleavy also laughed when he listened.

"By the way, son, it just so happens that you're here, tell Bruce what's going on in the Development League now~!!"

Old Dunleavy said.

"Development League~?! I haven't played before, so I don't know much~!!"

Little Dunleavy shook his head and said.

"However, I heard some players in the team who have played in the development league say that this NBA affiliated league really doesn't get much attention, and it's not even as high as the professional football league~!!"

said Dunleavy Jr.

"It's not so much to replenish the reserve forces of those NBA teams for military training, it's better to say that it is to increase some jobs and help the government solve some employment problems~!!!"

Little Dunleavy said bluntly.
