Chapter five hundred and eighty second feeling sorry
But the cooperation between Li Liang and James was not very co-starred from the beginning.
It is not a question of whether two people get along well, but it is determined by many objective factors.
When leaving Los Angeles and coming to Cleveland, Li Liang's first thought was not how to play basketball, but how to live here.
After two years in Los Angeles, I was honest and reluctant to leave there.
Li Liang still kept the house and was not sold. When he arrived in Cleveland, Zhu Shu and Li Liang paid attention to real estate in the Cleveland area.
Because I wanted to experience life in rural America, the Cavaliers' training hall was also in the countryside, Li Liang decided to buy a house in a high-end villa area near Highway 77, a suburb of Cleveland.
Not a luxurious villa, just an ordinary two-story house with a large garage and a garden.
For people like Li Liang, who do not have particularly high requirements for quality of life, it is enough.
Li Liang has no interest in luxury cars, yachts, planes, big gold chains that black stars like.
Li Liang is very satisfied if he has money to eat the best food and can buy what he needs at any time.
He is not a player who got rich overnight. He is a rich second generation and is not very interested in spending money. He can't spend it all anyway.
As for Zhu Shu, the Internet is good, just be able to play games. Anyway, Zhu Shu will buy all the new game masterpieces.
After you have a place to live, you need to plan your life in Cleveland.
It is really convenient to live in Los Angeles, with a good location, and there are maids and chefs at home. You can get to various services by phone.
When I arrived in Cleveland, I found that I had to start everything over the beginning.
It is impossible for a chef or a maid to follow him. It is inconvenient to start from scratch in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Zhu Shu worked hard for a week before she could barely get everything done.
This includes transporting Li Liang's two cars from Los Angeles to Cleveland for a long distance.
Li Liang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Zhu Shu busy and making calls every day.
Because of your own decision, you will cause a lot of trouble.
Not to mention anything else, Wei Dazhi's work in Los Angeles is definitely not as good as before.
Li Liang suddenly understood why most players wanted to stay in one place for a long time to play.
People always hope to settle down.
And can Cleveland make him stable?
The answer is of course no, because this is not his home.
The Cavaliers team is very welcome to Li Liang's arrival.
But this welcome cannot be compared with James' arrival.
Even though Li Liang defeated James in the finals for two consecutive years, in the eyes of Cleveland fans, James is the son of Cleveland and the pride of Ohio.
Just like Yao Ming, no matter how powerful your other stars are, Yao Ming is also the pride of Chinese people. When you come to China to play basketball, you will definitely cheer for Yao Ming much more.
Li Liang can't return to China now, and the national team doesn't want him.
After signing the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers held signing press conferences for Li Liang and James respectively.
Needless to say, this is Nike's idea again.
Because Li Liang is a player of Under Armour, Nike just doesn't want Li Liang to be on the same stage with James.
James also complained quite a bit about this and even called Li Liang to communicate.
But there is no way, in the Sports League, these big sports goods merchants are real dads.
Two superstars, two press conferences.
Li Liang's press conference was very lively, but compared to James's, it was a big deal.
James' signing conference was crowded with people, giving people the feeling that all Cleveland fans were here.
Compared with the two, the media immediately took advantage of this incident and made a fuss about the signing scene of Li Liang and James.
For a moment, news about Li Liang and James' inability to coexist was everywhere.
This made Li Liang very upset.
What Li Liang was upset about was not whether he could coexist with James, but why should I coexist with him?
I'm better, so I should be the boss. I'll come first, come and hug my thighs.
This is true, but the media's pen is in the hands of the James team, or Nike.
How could Nike sit and watch its top star and play Under Armour's top card?
First of all, we must cut off the possibility of such remarks in public opinion.
Then he kept making it. Li Liang wanted to cooperate with James, so he came to the Cavaliers' remarks.
Isn’t this nonsense? Li Liang is here to help the poor, so why do you have to cooperate with James?
Faced with the Nike Group's NBA-based approach to bombarding various articles and columns, Wei Dazhi was the first to stand it and stood up and spoke out with his Twitter.
He felt it was necessary to tell everyone that Li Liang came to the Knight, who was purely straightforward and went wherever he liked.
Of course, there are quite a lot of fans of Li Liang, and the number is extremely large, but it is not organized.
A leader came out and shouted, and responded thousands of times in an instant.
Not to mention anything else, hundreds of millions of Chinese fans across the Pacific were standing on Li Liang's side and launched a fierce counterattack against some American lackey media's irresponsible statements.
Throughout July, all sports forums across the United States and China were full of discussions and verbal battles about Li Liang and James.
As the parties involved, Li Liang and James were both quite helpless.
James has a good relationship with Li Liang in private, but the problem is that James has no choice but to do so.
When he decided to return to the Cavaliers, he had already withstood a lot of pressure because Nike didn't want him to return to the Cavaliers.
Not only did James return, he also made a compromise and signed a two-year team option contract.
Because of this return time, Nike's stock price fell sharply that day.
The reason is very simple, because shareholders, including Nike, do not believe that James can beat Li Liang in the Cavaliers and win the team's first honor.
Kobe and Paul are not good either. You, James, can't beat him even if he is an opponent. If you are a teammate, can you beat him?
So in the face of public opinion chaos, he could only remain silent.
Li Liang also did not speak out, he still trained quietly, but obviously he was also reflecting on whether his decision was too hasty and willful.
Before coming, I had no field trip or private contact with the Cavaliers, and I had no knowledge of Cleveland and local fans at all.
Although the Clippers and Lakers are different teams, the situation is different in the same city.
It’s just because of the saying “I want to see the stars”, romance is very romantic, but after the romance is over, should I still play the ball?
Training in the system is not smooth either.
Sima's system directly assigned Anthony Mason to him in the practice of back-to-body positioning.
Is this what he can withstand with 40 ability points?
Even Olajuwon can withstand the finals. Do you let me carry it? Let me practice?
What disappointed Li Liang the most was the management and boss of the Knights.
When the Nike-based lackey media attacked Li Liang in a crazily manner, the Cavaliers management did not come forward to say a word to Li Liang.
On the contrary, they think that if they sign a contract, they just need to play basketball, and nothing else matters.
Another thing that Li Liang couldn't accept the most.
That is, the Cavaliers boss actually refused to let Mike Brown be the head coach of the Cavaliers!
The Cavaliers have a good reason because they have signed David Blatt as the team coach before.
At that time, the Cavaliers did not realize that both the great gods Li Liang and James would come.
So signing Blatt is ready to rebuild the team.
But I knew that two big pies suddenly fell from the sky, smashing the Knight unconscious.
The signing is a sign, but coach... Blatt is also a famous coach, so just make do with it.
But Li Liang was unhappy. There was an important factor in his trip to the Cavaliers, which was that he hoped that Mike Brown could prove himself again in the Cavaliers.
As a result, Brown was unable to be the head coach, and the Cavaliers could only agree to him as an assistant coach.
Brown has already felt a little wronged when he went to the Clippers to be an assistant coach, so he still asked him to be an assistant coach?
I'm condescending to come to the Knights and ask you to pick up a V. You can't arrange the coach I like?
And this coach is your former meritorious coach!
Li Liang was completely angry, very, very angry.
The reason why the Garbage Knight is trash is not unreasonable.
Just like some poor counties, poverty is not without reason.
In some poor counties, the main content of their work is to preserve the title of poor counties!
In this regard, the Knights defended very well, quite well.
Li Liang thought to myself, I have made several bold decisions, so what can I do if I have another one?
At this moment, the Sima system seemed to realize something and sent Li Liang a task
Chapter completed!
