The coach’s job is not just about sideline command.

After Li Liang became the head coach of the King, he gained a deeper understanding of this.

In his [Bench Life] mission, several tasks commanded by the sidelines were completed very well.

I really became a coach and realized that the energy consumed by sideline command is just the tip of the iceberg of the entire coaching work.

Moreover, for Li Liang, on-site command and dispatch are actually his strengths, and he doesn't need to learn much, and he does it very well.

After playing against the Lakers and Warriors, the Kings suffered two consecutive losses in the preseason.

In the third game, the Kings played against Haifa Maccabi at the Golden No. 1 Center at home.

In this game, the Kings finally showed the strength of the NBA team. In the first quarter, they vented the resentment of losing the first two games to the poor Maccabi team.

Because the opponent is too weak, Li Liang has more room to allocate the lineup and test his tactics.

In the first quarter, Li Liang controlled the ball himself and made consecutive three-pointers from the outside, allowing Sacramento fans to see what a historical three-pointer is.

The entire king's rhythm was according to D'Antoni's idea, and he advanced slowly, took action quickly, and fought quickly, and the effect was indeed good.

In the second quarter, the substitute lineup came on, and Li Liang tried to let Rondo lead the substitute, wanting to try whether Rondo could be the sixth man.

But the effect is not very good, even if the opponent is Maccabi.

Today's NBA, the sixth player still needs microwave-type players with strong projection ability.

For players like Rondo who are not good at shooting but are good at other players, it is really a waste to be the sixth player.

In the third quarter, Li Liang tried another uc tactical system with pick-and-roll, back-run, and 1-4 high and low drops as the core.

Because last summer, Li Liang carefully studied the uc tactic system with the Jazz in the system and had a deeper understanding of this tactic.

The effect seems to be relatively average at present, mainly because the players did not cooperate tacitly before.

The ball is not passed quickly enough at a high position. You have to hesitate and think about it.

I obviously had the opportunity to fight, but because I wanted to pass, both opportunities were wasted.

However, Li Liang believes that if the King's lineup configuration can be adjusted well with the uc system, it will be a long-term solution.

Like Li Liang's long-term ball play, it is more suitable for playing bayonets and throttles in the playoffs.

The uc system is suitable for regular season, with low energy consumption and ultra-long standby.

In short, after a game, all kinds of personnel and tactical combinations were tested.

The only thing that made Li Liang feel unsatisfied was the team's defense.

Mike Brown, the bald man, has not yet given a satisfactory answer to Li Liang.

As the owner of four championships, Li Liang knew that without a tough defense, he would not be able to win the championship.

Defense is the most effective tool to gather the will of a team.

Any coach who has just taken over a weak team will definitely focus on defense.

Offense can solve problems with the ability of one or two superstars, and instantly improve the team.

Defense is not good, defense must require the efforts of everyone in the team.

The sense of defensive participation is the highest, and no one can be left behind.

To build a basketball team and hold everyone together, you must start with defense.

In this game against Maccabi, the Kings effortlessly, 139:95, with a huge score difference, he won the first preseason victory.

Three days later, on the 13th, the Kings defeated the Los Angeles Lakers at the T-obile Center and avenged the first defeat.

However, in this game, Wade and Leonard did not appear.

In general, the king is still inspecting newcomers, and at the same time let Li Liang test tactics and adapt to his identity as head coach.

To be honest, Li Liang adapted very quickly, so fast that Divac, as the general manager, felt a little incredible.

After the game, he chatted with Li Liang in the locker room and asked Li Liang, "Did you start to want to be a coach very early? The coach is not that easy to be a coach. Your role adapts too quickly, especially when commanding on the court."

Li Liang can't stop for a moment, no matter on and off the court.

And there is a little benefit for players and coaches. You can set up tactics without stopping.

For example, if you take a free throw on the court, gather the players together and say a few simple words, the effect will come out.

The meaning of pause is more about substitutions, rest, and adjusting the player's mentality.

Faced with Divac's praise, Li Liangxin thought, have I been the head coach in the system long ago, and I want to tell you?

The King's management still obeyed Li Liang's words, and Li Liang's power in the King's team can be said to be quite huge.

However, Li Liang did not abuse his power. He only made suggestions on the stay and departure of marginal players, and did not make final decisions.

"I think we need to be thicker on the front line. Now is the era of the front line. Sometimes I feel stretched when I substitute people. But I am not in a hurry, and there is still time." Li Liang said to Divac.

Because Li Liang is leading the good news, the league has entered the era of forwards.

Several strong teams in the West all have very strong forward players.

Needless to say, the Lakers have Leonard, the Thunder have Durant, and the Spurs have Wiggins.

Although the king has Li Liang, Li Liang is now taking on too many tasks.

He needs help on the front line.

Now the Kings' starting small forward is Guy, and Casby is sitting on the bench.

To be honest, neither player meets Li Liang's employment requirements on the defensive end.

Divac touched his beard and nodded to show that he would do his best to meet Li Liang's requirements during the season.

"There is another question. Tell Mike and ask him to come up with a good defensive system as soon as possible, otherwise he will be fired, not to mention what I said." Li Liang has been forcing Brown to come up with a defensive strategy plan these two days, but Brown's hair has fallen out (actually there isn't one), and he still hasn't given a strategy to satisfy Li Liang.

Now, Mike Brown doesn't listen to videos, flips notes, and even calls his old boss Vicky in the hope of tailoring a good defensive strategy and training plan for the King.

But Li Liang seemed not satisfied. After all, the two of them had a master-disciple relationship, so it was hard to say anything directly.

This guy used Divac to hit Brown's bald head.

On the one hand, Brown is asked to ship the goods quickly, and on the other hand, he has always arranged the revenge of a single arrow!

Divac understood what Li Liang meant and took time to talk to Mike Brown the next day.

Brown was stunned when he heard this. If he was resigned, he would not get enough salary according to the contract and would be deducted a large part of it.

The King really gave too much, more than ordinary head coaches.

So of course he has to work more!

It is October 14th, and there are two weeks left before the opening of the NBA regular season.

Mike Brown decided not to go into seclusion and took out video clips of the games of each strong team in the past five years and watched them all.

After repeatedly looking through the past notes and experiences, I was still searching for the defensive tactics of various well-known school coaches, and even digging out a lot of things buried in my mind. I must give Li Liang a satisfactory answer.

Afterwards, No. 15 and No. 18, the Kings defeated the Washington Wizards and the Los Angeles Clippers in the preseason.

D'Antoni's tactical system on the offensive end has been implemented quite well.

The principle of "slow advance, fast exit" has gradually been accepted by the players.

Moreover, D'Antoni is a point guard, and Rondo is like a fish in D'Antoni's system.

D'Antoni focused on building a pick-and-roll offensive system with "Li Liang-Rondo" as the core.

Cousins ​​is functionalized as a whole, but because of Rondo and Li Liang's excellent ball handling ability, Cousins ​​will not have fewer roles in the offense.

At the same time, the entire Kings team practiced very vigorously, and almost all players practiced more after the training.

There is no way, Li Liang’s hair dryer is too powerful, if you don’t practice, just wait to be scolded to death.

Mike Brown was in a daze during the day and stayed up late at night and designed defensive tactics.

On the 18th, the Kings finished all the preseason games and began to make final preparations for the regular season.

Li Liang came to the base for training early in the morning and looked at Mike Brown, feeling something was wrong.

"Mike, why have you grown hair?" Li Liang suddenly realized that Mike Brown's originally bare head was actually covered with thin hair!

Brown touched his head and said, "Oh...I may be a little tired lately."

Li Liang felt it was incredible. He was tired and lost his hair. Why did you still have hair growth?

In fact, Brown shaves his head and shaved every day. If he doesn't shave, he will grow a little hair.

Although not many, because the hair follicles have almost been destroyed, there are still survivors. As a result, they have been living in anxiety recently and have been holding their hair out.

Li Liang suddenly felt a little distressed when he looked at Mike Brown with his hair growing.

I wondered if I was too embarrassed by him.

In fact, he thought the solutions given by Brown were all good.

It's just the first time he is a head coach and has to face such a strong opponent in the season. Li Liang still hopes to have a system that is most suitable for the Kings.

"Mike, if you really don't have a good idea, just follow the previous ones. People-to-people are the easiest, but also the most effective, isn't it?"

Mike Brown touched the "bald head" whose hair had grown, and said, "No, no Bruce, I already have an idea, I already have an idea! That's why I grow my hair. I thought of a system that suits us, and it's very targeted to the Warriors!"

"What system?"
Chapter completed!
