One condition for Li Liang to join the Pacers is that he hopes that Larry Bird can come back as the team's head coach.

When he was at the Cavaliers, Li Liang hoped that Mike Brown would be the head coach.

The situation is different when it comes to the Pacers.

The Pacers' current head coach is Vogel. As an important contributor to the Pacers' revival in the past two years, Bird has no reason to fire him.

This is different from the Cavaliers' new coach David Blatt. Blatt just signed with the team in the summer and has no friendship with the Cavaliers players. As long as the Cavaliers are willing, they can be exchanged.

And the person Li Liang wanted to change was Mike Brown, the old friend of the Cavaliers.

So when the Knight refused, Li Liangcai was particularly unhappy.

When it comes to the Pacers, all of these people are brought out by Vogel. He wants to insert Brown into it. Even if Li Liang is a football boss, he feels it is inappropriate.

Besides, Vogel once taught at the University of Kentucky and was considered Li Liang's teacher. How could Li Liang let him lose his job?

Then Li Liang showed his inspiration and thought to himself that Bird had been the head coach back then, and he also won the best coach.

Li Liang used this to try Bird to see if Bird respects him enough and is willing to come out of the mountain. Unexpectedly, Bird actually agreed, and Li Liang was naturally happy to come to the Pacers.

Bird is indeed a genius figure in basketball.

Being a player, coach, and general manager have won the highest awards, and are unique in the entire nBa history.

Generally speaking, the coach, management or boss of the top stars on the court are not good, and the higher the stadium achievements, the more diarrhea they get.

After all, this world is fair.

Bird is an exception. He is as outstanding as he is off the court. His only regret is that he does not win the championship as a head coach or general manager.

It is also because the Pacers are really a small club and really can't win superstars. They have a lot of life and always encounter unpredictable accidents when they are about to achieve results, resulting in the premature death of their championship journey.

This time, Bird decided to fight for the final battle and personally made a comeback as the head coach.

Just like Pat Riley in O6, if you fail, you will be successful.

...

Li Liang joined the Pacers and wore the No. 28 jersey in yellow, white and black.

The Pacers' official quickly held a press conference for Li Liang's new jersey, and the Pacers' new season's packages were sold out soon.

Not only are the Pacers' home tickets sold well, but many of the away game tickets were sold out in advance.

The East, which had been weak before, suddenly saw hope for revival.

The Cavaliers have formed a new three-headed monster, and the Pacers have gone away George and have a more powerful one. The pattern of the Eastern Conference two has been formed before the start of the new season.

The Clippers' crushing championship last season has become history, and fans have begun to look forward to the battle between the two Eastern Conference players in the new season.

Overall, most fans still believe that the Cavaliers' lineup is deeper, especially between Paul George and James, which is considered to be a more suitable combination than James Wade.

Because George has better shooting ability and outstanding height, he does not have much conflict with James in his playing style.

As for the inside, Massinmi's arrival gave the Cavaliers better ability to protect the basket. With Tristan Thompson, a set of more balanced than the Heat, and a terrifying lineup was created.

Although there is Li Liang on the Pacers, they have more problems to face.

The team's core lineup has not changed, but the loss of morale over the past few seasons, especially last season, has been a big blow to the team's combat effectiveness.

The good news is that Li Liang is still improving, and Bird is the head coach, which may help the team get out of the downturn.

Li Liang also faced several major challenges. Many people didn't know that he could make progress, thinking that he would reach the top and that it would be good if he could maintain it.

It's right for Li Liang to be in the second grade, but he graduated from his senior year and entered the league. Some of the players in the same year have been playing in the league for five or six years.

So most people think that Li Liang has reached the top.

When Li Liang finds out, he will definitely say that I am still a child and I have not yet had a complete child!

Originally, Li Liang wanted to develop his back-to-body ability.

After meeting Anthony Mason and coming to the Pacers, Li Liang decided not to practice anymore...

Just practice, I have to dribble!

Currently, his basic ball control is 70 points, but there are still serious shortcomings in several basic skills such as ball control plus, ball control change direction, ball control turn, and ball control turn, all of which are below 40 points.

So starting from August, Li Liang began to focus on improving his ball control ability in the system.

Ball control plus learns with James Worthy.

Take the ball and change direction and learn with Monroe - finally there is no need to follow Fraser.

He turned the ball and followed Oscar Robertson to learn - although his dribbling posture is old, his ball and turn the ball and turn is very solid.

The training of ball-handling skills is very difficult.

Because Li Liang does not have the talent in this area.

He has a good shooting talent, so he practices three-pointers very smoothly, and the more he practices, the more he practices, the more he becomes, the more he becomes.

Ball control is a thing that emphasizes ball nature. If you don’t have ball nature, the system will force you to create ball nature.

Therefore, Li Liang experienced various "inhuman" therapies in the system. On the one hand, he forced his muscles to form ball-control skills, and on the other hand, he completed the system tasks, allowing black technology to transform his body.

In addition to controlling the ball, Li Liang further improved his physical fitness.

Especially the push/hold/pull/move strength, Li Liang rarely paid attention to this item when practicing.

Now he believes that if you want to strengthen your ability to hold the ball and break through, the strength in your hands is very important.

The core of the confrontation comes from the torso, and small movements on the hands must be ignored. Otherwise, with the intensity and reaction of nBa, you will never be able to rush into the basket with the ball.

Li Liang relied on tasks and some supplementary skills he obtained to improve this item to 7o points.

The whole month of August and September passed like this.

Summer has come to the tail. Li Liang did not participate in or organize any training camps this year, including the Kentucky alumni training camp. He just paid for the organization, but he did not go by himself.

He fell into a valley like the protagonist in martial arts, holding a secret book and practicing hard there.

Indiana is indeed a place suitable for quiet practice.

In addition to staying in Indianapolis, he also went to Fort Wayne and Portland, driving among the endless fields of Indo-State to enjoy the beauty of rural life.

Compared with Los Angeles, Indiana's life is indeed monochromatic and much boring.

There are no beaches, no film and television cities, and no large amusement parks.

The media here is not sufficient, and reporters will not try to spy on Li Liang's privacy all day long, report on his affairs with his beautiful agent and her friends, etc.

Life is quiet, comfortable and peaceful.

In late August and early September, the men's basketball World Championships were held in Spain.

Team USA dominated again and won the championship, and Paul George followed his teammates to win the gold medal.

The Chinese team is very sorry that they were not able to participate in this competition.

So Li Liang didn’t have a chance to join the national team. What did he do? Will he play the warm-up match? Or the Asian match?

This year's American men's basketball team can be said to have gathered elites among young stars.

Curry, Harden, George, Thompson, Davis and others, such high-level training will have extremely high bonuses to their skills and experience.
