Chapter 915 First Lesson
On October 4th, the 2017 season kicked off slowly.
Just the day after the league announced the "Bruce Lee" clause, the Sacramento Kings' new season training camp opened at the team's training center.
On the day the training camp opened, the number of reporters in the training center scared the Kings players.
Never experienced it, never experienced it.
Generally speaking, only in a team like the Lakers, there will be so many people in an opening ceremony.
In the past few seasons, the King has been unknown and only has influence locally.
After this summer, everything changed.
On the day when the training camp opened, in the morning, the whole team took photos of the new season jerseys in the training center.
For Li Liang, he has one more set of makeup photos than others - one more set of coaches.
The main color of the Kings has not changed, it is still the mysterious purple.
The team's logo was changed at the new jersey conference in June this year.
From the previous letter "KING", it was changed to the pattern of the king's crown, with a basketball.
This can be regarded as a relatively standard logo design.
In addition to the two standard colors of home white and away purple, there is also a black away jersey and a sky blue and white retro jersey, mainly these four styles.
Li Liang is undoubtedly the busiest. Others wear a set of clothes all the time and take pictures everywhere.
But Li Liang had to change back and forth, first he put on the player's shirt, then put on the sports shirt, and took a makeup photo with the coaching staff.
The entire training center can be said to be in an endless stream, with media reporters constantly coming to interview, ask questions, and take pictures.
When he first arrived in Guibao Land, Li Liang still wanted to show off his elegant demeanor, basically answering every question and answering any interviews.
Li Liang felt a little regretful when he thought that he would often attend various press conferences as the head coach in the future.
Damn, it's not good to do something, I have to do this kind of work that is not done by humans.
Let Mike Brown act as a puppet to block the knife in front, and he can command remotely from the back, wouldn't it be over?
I have to pretend to be a head coach for a task.
From September to now, Li Liang has never been idle.
In addition to normal training, but also to participate in part of the team's management practice.
Such as inspecting new players, recruiting veterans, etc.
In order to sign Gordon and West, Li Liang followed the management team and flew all over the United States to meet these players in person, conquered them with his incomparable charm, and let them go to a small ball like the Kings. team to play.
With this time, wouldn't it be nice for him to train at home while spending time with his family, and by the way, do a task in his dream?
This flying around, doing missions on the plane?
Li Liang used to like to see stitches and do missions on the plane.
But at that time, the task was simple, the improvement effect was obvious, and he had just entered the league not long ago, and he was still playing as a substitute, so he had nowhere to release his energy.
Now that there are too many things to do, the energy is obviously not enough to allocate, and sleep is sleep.
It wasn't until the start of the training camp that he completed the double-teaming task of Olajuwon and Robertson. It was really not easy to improve his dribbling ability to 80 points.
This task is the longest task that Li Liang has completed.
The task is difficult on the one hand, and on the other hand, Li Liang's time and energy have been taken away by too many things from June to now.
This year, Li Liang is already 26 years old, and will soon be 27 years old.
The age of 25 can be regarded as a watershed. Before the age of 25, you can do what you want to do and what you like to do without distraction.
For the ideal, for the dream, I put my heart and soul into it.
After the age of 25, I began to find that life became more and more complicated, and there were more and more things to worry about.
The trivial matters of life account for an increasing proportion of Li Liang's 24 hours a day.
Although he has bodyguards, assistants, assistant coaches, and agents, he still has to do many things by himself.
For example, if you want to get married and have children in the future, you can't let others do it for you and just focus on playing football?
In particular, Li Liang got himself a head coach position in a desperate manner.
But watching the team assemble before the training camp and all the players I like signing successfully, the sense of accomplishment is still very strong.
Since winning four championships, the excitement brought to Li Liang by the championship is no longer strong enough.
Especially in the Olympics, leading the Chinese team all the way to the final, the process of defeating the strong with the weak is really unforgettable.
Looking at the king now, several generals are related to him. Rondo, Gordon, and West were all recruited by him personally.
In an instant, there was a feeling of "this team is half of my flesh and blood".
This feeling gives people a sense of belonging.
It was the first time Li Liang felt this way.
In an interview with local media, Li Liang said, "This is the first time I have confirmed that I will play in one place for a long time. I think I will bring something different to the Kings and Sacramento, and I will be recognized by people for a long time. something to remember and would like to commemorate in the future.”
What Li Liang thinks is no longer just winning the championship and becoming the strongest player in history, he wants to leave something behind.
This trip to the Olympics left a deep impression on him.
Those things left for one's own country and the spirit of the people are more precious than champions.
As an athlete from a socialist country, come to a capitalist country and leave some spiritual wealth for them. This is the original intention of internationalism.
...
In the afternoon, the opening ceremony in the morning was over, the makeup photos were taken, the press conference was over, and the training camp finally started.
The reporters were invited out of the training center, and the Kings' first training session of the new season began.
For the players of the Kings, this year's situation is really special. It is really the first time that the players and coaches have met.
Everyone wants to see how the new head coach arranges the team's training, and how he himself participates in the training.
I arrange myself?
As a result, Li Liang gave a very simple and perfect execution plan.
Before the training started, he and his assistant coaches discussed the basic process and plan of the training.
Then, assign tasks to assistant coaches and trainers, and then give the whistle to Mike Brown, and then, Mike Brown directs the team to train.
The moment Mike Brown took the whistle, something felt wrong.
If this process is followed, what is the difference between him and being a head coach in the past?
In the past, Li Liang did the same. Before training, he came to the coaching staff to discuss and give pointers before participating in team training.
Now...it seems to be the same!
There is no difference from the past!
There really is no difference.
Li Liang does not want to be an "authoritative" coach.
Li Liang doesn't want to be the kind of coach who swears and yells after players.
That kind of coach will go bald sooner or later.
Li Liang believes that with his character and demeanor, he can be a "ru handsome".
There is no need to breathe out the fragrance, and the small mouth is wiped with honey.
The team's first training session was arranged in a very guiding sense, and it was also a training session set by Li Liang himself.
