Chapter 376 Rainbow Fart
Li Liang's words can be said to be very rude, as if they were stabbed in Paul's heart like a needle.
Paul is about to enter the league in his ninth year. Although his strength has been recognized by the entire league and fans, he has not received his own recognition.
Because there has not been a real victory yet.
Compared with the great point guards he wants to catch up in history, Isaiah Thomas won the championship in the eighth year and won the finals VP.
Allen Iverson reached the peak of his career in his fifth year, finals, regular season vp.
There is no need to talk about Magic Johnson, who is late to achieve his goal, has realized his dream of winning the championship last season.
Jason Kidd led the team to the finals twice and won the championship at the end of his career.
Paul played vigorously for eight seasons, but he was empty-handed, with no championship, division champion, and vp.
Thinking of this, how could Paul's heart not hurt?
If someone else told Paul this, Paul would definitely be very, very angry.
He is a person with a strong sense of self-esteem and cannot tolerate others infringing on his dignity.
But I don’t know what happened. After Li Liang said this, Paul was angry. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
Why is this?
Paul found it strange.
Li Liang had already entered the locker room and went to take a shower and change his clothes.
During the first day of the training camp, Li Liang had the advantage.
Li Liang's dominance reveals a cruel fact about NBA, that is, on the NBA arena, a good brain is very important, but a good brain is not as useful as physical talent.
Height is the greatest talent, and it is also the reason why basketball, as a team sport, cannot be as popular as football.
The height threshold has blocked many people outside the door.
During the confrontation, Li Liang directly made three-pointers in counterattacks many times. In addition to his touch, he also relied on his height advantage.
If Li Liang was the same height as Paul, his playing style would not be so domineering.
Small people have the helplessness of small people, and their natural disadvantages have forced them to make up for it in other aspects.
Li Liang wanted to make Paul realize this, and there should not be too many things to do if he could defeat ten times with one force.
At the same time, Li Liang also wanted Rivers to realize that betting on a small point guard who is 183 in height, no matter how good he is, the burden is too heavy.
Thomas is already a very good little point guard, but by his side, the Pistons are equipped with a group of strong soldiers to win the championship.
Moreover, in terms of tactical system, Thomas is not an absolute core like Paul, but just the first choice.
During the next few days of team training, Li Liang insisted on his own tactical style and style of play, and was not very interested in the "empty-hand running" tactics designed by Rivers.
As a "player-type" coach, Rivers' biggest feature is that he rarely forces the players in the team, especially the stars, to do things they don't like to do.
This is different from high-pressure management coaches like Larry Brown and Bill Fitch.
Faced with the conflict in tactical understanding between Li Liang and Paul, Rivers chose to deal with it coldly.
First of all, during tactical training, a large number of training without ball running was cancelled.
Secondly, communicated with Li Liangduo in private and asked him what kind of tactics he wanted to play.
Li Liang's statement is "same as Chris Paul".
Li Liang’s meaning is very clear, I want to share the ball rights with Paul.
Rivers is really big now, one head and two big.
In fact, when Rivers first learned that Li Liang left the Lakers and chose the Clippers, he felt that this player was not simple, really not simple.
The basketball world has its own cultural genes. A very important point is to advance and retreat with the team, integrate blood with a city and a team, and share life and death.
This is the basis for the success of NBA or many sports.
Without this foundation, there would be not so many loyal fans, and there would be not so many people who love sports to pay for it.
Therefore, it caused such a great controversy when James made the decision to leave the Cavaliers and go to the Heat.
It has nothing to do with "loyalty". "loyalty" is just an appearance and cannot resist careful consideration because the team has never been loyal to the players.
The key is that James broke the "rules", a rule that is unwritten in sports culture.
In NBA history, there are actually many people who broke this "rule", Monroe in the 1960s, Jabbar in the 1970s, including Barkley behind.
Whether forced or proactive, early or late in their careers, the change of these stars caused great controversy at the time and caused waves of condemnation.
The reason why James is most controversial is that the media is developed and the influence of NBA has increased. Second, his own strength and status determines. If it were an ordinary star, no one would care. Third, his way of making decisions is somewhat inappropriate.
Li Liang also caused a storm this summer.
And after the storm, Li Liang was not only not scolded, but also received a blessing?
When James saw this result, he probably burst into tears. Why is it only targeting me?
The big difference from James is that Li Liang has no reason to leave the Lakers, but if anyone else is there, he will stay in the Lakers.
Rookie VP, second round pick legend, succeeding Kobe, and he is a Lakers player!
When Rivers first heard the news, he felt it was simply incredible.
Now, in the past three months, Rivers carefully savored it and could feel how unique and strong this guy's mind is.
He came to the Clippers only for one purpose, not for money, not for so-called status, and not for reputation.
What he wants is strength and opportunity.
In fact, he will have a chance in the Lakers. Kobe's Achilles tendon ruptured, and Li Liang will be trained as his successor.
But the Clippers' chances are indeed better. If so, Bruce Lee is really a very special and even a bit scary young man.
What should I do?
This kid is the new FVP, the champion owner, Los Angeles Little Prince, the team owner idol, from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, who is deeply influenced by Eastern culture and is unique and unique "28-foot killer".
The coach Rivers, at present, has not shown much tactical level, and Rainbow farts are quite powerful.
He has already started to give Li Liang a nickname, "28-foot killer".
One is because Li Liang is wearing the No. 28 jersey, and the other is because Li Liang often takes direct shots at a distance of 28 feet during the game.
The three-point line of the nba is 2378 feet and 28 feet, which is the distance from the three-point line more than three steps.
At this distance, Li Liang's three-pointers hit is definitely the best in the league.
So Rivers gave Li Liang the nickname "28-foot killer" to praise him.
Of course, Li Liang couldn't say anything about Rivers like this, so he didn't hit the smiling person unless he was Brown.
Therefore, after five days of internal tactical training, although Li Liang expressed dissatisfaction with the tactics designed by Rivers for himself, he continued to argue with Paul.
However, he did not expand this dispute and only stayed on the court, and the relationship between the two sides was very harmonious.
This was how Li Liang was when he was in the Lakers. He was a thorn on the court, but his personality was very good and very likable off the court.
Within two days, he got along with Jordan and Griffin, and went to San Diego's Bay to play yachts.
He also found an opportunity to bowl with Brother Pao. His bowling skills shocked Brother Pao.
Li Liang's hands have really strong control and accuracy, which is his own talent.
Paul claims to be a master of bowling, but he didn't expect that he was not Li Liang's opponent.
Paul really felt inferior to this point.
The five-day training time passed quickly. To be honest, Rivers still didn't understand what system the Clippers should use on the offensive end and what tactics are most suitable for Li Liang.
He couldn't help but want to ask Mike Brown for advice.
Li Liang didn't care about this, and he was still focused on system tasks.
After five days of training and study, and careful preparation, Li Liang decided to complete Mark Price's mission before the training camp ended.
