Chapter 407 Reunion After a Long Absence
Li Liang spent most of November 10th talking to the system.
First of all, he spent more than an hour taking a nap, and then chanted sutras in the system to knock wooden fish!
Li Liang discovered that knocking on the [Gravity Wooden Fish] and reading the "Dai Jing" can make the wooden fish work longer.
During this period of time, if you have nothing to do, knock on it, read aloud, and the wooden fish's action time has been upgraded from 3 minutes to 4 minutes.
Now the "Dai Jing" is useful again.
Moreover, Li Liang also found that knocking on the wooden fish while reciting the "Daijing" did not cause his brain to become dull.
Therefore, the two props interact with each other.
This Sima system ghost has a lot of ideas, and the old sow wears a set of bras.
Now Li Liang spends an hour every day chanting scriptures and knocking on the wooden fish in the system, hoping that the longer the time for this [Gravity Wooden Fish], the stronger the effect.
In addition to chanting scriptures, Li Liang continued to follow Alan Houston in the system to learn the technique of catch and jump shots.
This class-time task is not difficult, but it requires more energy and physical strength.
Catch and jump shots are inherently a very physically demanding technical activity that requires a lot of running.
I practiced in the system for more than three hours at night, and after completing one class hour, I added 2 points of ability.
After coming out of the system, Li Liang fell asleep directly, and slept until ten o'clock the next morning.
Needless to say, the training in the morning will definitely not be able to go.
Li Liang was still a role model in the training camp, but in the middle of the season, when he was doing tasks while competing, he began to be absent from work and late.
Li Liang got up and was about to eat when he heard Wei Dazhi's voice like killing a pig: "Big news! Big news!"
"What big news? Kobe went to Eagle County again?"
Wei Dazhi rushed to the restaurant and said, "It's not Kobe, it's Mike Brown. Mike Brown is dismissed!"
Holy crap, when Li Liang heard this, this is really big news.
Not just big news, but good news.
Li Liang turned on his phone and saw that sure enough, Twitter and sports forums were full of news about Mike Brown's dismissal.
In the morning, Kupchak held a press conference at the Toyota Sports Center, announcing that he would terminate his relationship with head coach Mike Brown.
The head coach of the team will be temporarily replaced by assistant coach Biskotaf.
Seeing this situation, Li Liang immediately called Mike Brown.
As a result, Brown's phone was turned off.
It seems that Brown must be in a bad mood, and too many people call him, he needs to calm down.
Just two weeks into the new season, Mike Brown was fired, setting the record for the shortest-lived coach in NBA history.
Moreover, Mike Brown was the best coach last season, the champion coach.
As a result, the new season was made a scapegoat because of a poor record, which is really incomprehensible.
It can only be said that the Lakers' current poor results have indeed put a lot of pressure on people, but these should be expected.
Kobe was injured, Li Liang left, and the two main players were absent, so it is possible to play anything.
Just like the defending champion Miami Heat, they played badly in the second season.
Of course, they still reached the playoffs that year, but were swept in the first round.
If the Lakers continue with the current momentum, they are very likely to become another defending champion that cannot make the playoffs.
This embarrassing situation happened before with the Celtics in 1970 because Russell retired.
And the Chicago Bulls in 1999, because Jordan retired.
These two are the collapse of the dynasty, the Lakers... Of course, if Kobe returns in the middle of the season, he will definitely not watch the team fail to make the playoffs.
It's just that the Lakers management no longer has that patience.
The disastrous home defeat to the Timberwolves became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Bass Jr. is determined to fire Mike Brown. He hopes that the team will be able to play offensive basketball in the new season, instead of continuing the style of last season, which will not return last season.
In fact, Buss Jr.'s decision was decisive. The Lakers of last season really couldn't come back.
And Mike Brown was a little absent-minded in coaching the Lakers, without the passion of last season.
These are invisible to the outside world, which prompted the Lakers management to make this decision.
Li Liang didn't know all of this very well, but he didn't care, he felt that the curse he had been thinking about had finally taken effect!
Well, former Lakers teammates, your mission has been completed, and you don't have to lose anymore.
For the fans in Los Angeles, you should cheer up and play well!
Seeing that he couldn't get through to Mike Brown's phone call, Li Liang drove directly to the team's training center after eating.
He is going to meet with Rivers and team owner Ballmer, hoping that the team can pull Mike Brown into the team's coaching staff.
The head coach is downgraded to an assistant coach. I feel that some head coaches will be unwilling. In fact, it still depends on the working environment and salary.
For example, Gentry, who coached well in the Suns before, didn't he follow Rivers to the Clippers?
Li Liang thinks that if Mike Brown is willing to come to the Clippers as a defensive assistant, maybe he can integrate the team's defensive system?
Li Liang still has confidence in Mike Brown's defensive coaching level.
When you were in the Lakers, if you want to say that Mike Brown is not good in other aspects, Li Liang agrees.
Li Liang sometimes feels that even if you are a coach at your level, I am better than you.
Only defensively, Mike Brown really has something.
The Lakers' team lineup has aged like that, and Brown abruptly built a practical and solid defensive system, allowing the Lakers to support until the finals and win the championship.
What Li Liang has experienced in the Lakers is good, with continuous defense.
It was only when I arrived at the Clippers that I felt something was wrong. I felt that the defensive players were fighting on their own, and they had a lot of opinions.
If Mike Brown can come to the Clippers, he believes that Brown's main defense and Gentry's main offense, the Clippers will definitely be able to do better.
Li Liang was thinking about these things while driving the car. He is a player with a middle income of 5 million, and he is worried about the team again!
It's just worrying about life, there is no way.
When we arrived at the training hall, although Li Liang was late, no one said anything.
When Li Liang saw Rivers, he went up and asked without saying a word, "Coach, you know Mike Brown..."
Before Li Liang finished speaking, Rivers interrupted him, saying: "Don't worry about Bruce, we're already contacting Mike, don't worry, he will turn on the phone in the afternoon."
It turns out that Rivers has already started preparing, and now Rivers holds power in the Clippers.
He is not only the head coach, he has decision-making power in various personnel activities such as players and assistant coaches.
Of course Li Liang didn't know, Rivers went to Mike Brown to learn from him yesterday.
I didn't know that I didn't get the scriptures, so I directly removed the head coach from get out of class.
Rivers was overjoyed when he heard the news in the morning.
He directly contacted Ballmer, Ballmer said, for Bruce Lee, for the team's defense, take Mike Brown!
As for too many coaching staff and salary issues, don't consider these.
Ballmer is rich, so what is it to raise a Brown?
Because Rivers is in charge of training, he has arranged for the Clippers management staff to go directly to Brown's house and invite him to come to the Clippers.
If you are quick, you can get the answer tonight.
Mike Brown is free after completing the termination procedures with the Lakers.
...
On the night of the 11th, the Staples Center ushered in the second game in recent days, and the visiting team was still the Timberwolves.
And this time it was the Clippers who played on behalf of Los Angeles.
The Lakers were beaten black and blue by the Timberwolves in the last game, which is really embarrassing.
The face of Los Angeles now depends on the Clippers.
In the Clippers locker room, Li Liang is changing clothes.
He tried to contact Brown all day today, but he kept shutting down.
It seems that Brown was fired by the Lakers and suffered a lot of damage.
Just as the players changed their clothes and were about to leave the locker room to play, the door of the locker room opened and someone walked in.
Li Liang immediately saw that it was Mike Brown.
"Mike!"
Li Liang saw Brown wearing the Clippers sports T-shirt, and knew that Brown was coming to the Clippers!
He stepped forward excitedly and gave Brown a hug!
Brown grinned, smiling brightly.
"Bruce, long time no see."
Mr. Gan, all encounters are reunions after a long absence.
Seeing this scene, Tyronn Lue, who was standing aside, was inexplicably moved.
Why is this?
