When the news of the transaction broke, Li Liang was still sleeping at home.

Zhu Shu just came back from Cleveland, and she went on a business trip to Cleveland to deal with some affairs of Randle's life and contract.

So Li Liang spent a night with Zhu Shu.

Li Liang originally wanted to try if he could wear the [Body of Steel] suit to participate in this battle, but then he remembered that the props given by the system, except for a very few special items, had no effect after leaving the basketball court.

So forget it, to deal with Zhu Shu, the body he has trained himself should be enough!

When he got up the next morning, Li Liang woke up and looked at the person next to him, and was about to save himself, when a piercing phone call came.

Li Liang picked it up and took a look, Wei Dazhi!

This goods are now on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, although Li Liang has left Los Angeles, he can be regarded as taking root in Los Angeles.

In the offseason, relying on Li Liang's comical operation, Wei Dazhi became famous again, relying on the advantage of exclusive monopoly to attract a large number of fans again.

Called in the morning, Li Liang didn't believe that this product was here to say good morning, there must be something.

Li Liang answered the phone and asked, "Hey, what's the matter, hurry up." ”

"Look at the news, look at the news, big brother, don't sleep!"

Wei Dazhi still knew Li Liang very well, and knew that this guy must be sleeping.

"Just say it directly, what's the matter, am I being traded?"

"How is it possible, the Pacers made three deals today, and there was a big change, you see, I can't tell at once!"

Li Liang knows that Bird wants to make a trade recently, and the overall feeling of the team has not been very satisfying.

West and Hill won't be back until December, and Hibbert's form is really no longer suitable for a team that wants to win a title.

There is also the firepower of the Pacers outside, which is really outrageously poor, with Li Liang, the league's first three-point player, who is still in the middle of the league in terms of three-point shooting percentage and number of shots.

So, the Pacers need a good outside shooter, they need an interior that is more in line with the modern style of basketball, and they need to bring Danny Granger back.

Li Liang is still very patient with the team, thinking that there will be another move next year, at least after the return of West and Hill, he will play for a period of time before making adjustments.

How do you know that Bird moves so fast, Li Liang is also a little curious, what kind of operation did the former best manager make, and what kind of new teammates will he have?

After hanging up the phone, Li Liang opened Twitter while lying in bed, and the Pacers official news has been released, and the Pacers reported three transactions in one day:

1. Striking a deal with the Heat in exchange for a future second-round pick and some cash.

2. Completed a swap deal with the Nuggets, sent Roy Hibbert and got Javier McGee.

3. Completing a massive three-way deal with the Thunder and Knicks, the Pacers sent Vites, Copeland and Solomon Hill, as well as a 2019 second-round pick, JR Smith and Shambaugh from the Knicks, and a future protected first-round pick from the Thunder.

Li Liang looked at this series of dazzling operations, and felt shocked in his heart.

Larry has a bit of something, and he actually made three trades in a short period of time, which can be said to make up for all the problems exposed by the Pacers in the current game.

It can be said that in terms of understanding the ball, Bird is really very good.

In this way, the core lineup of the Pacers will be Li Liang, West, Hill, JR Smith, Granger, Stephenson, McGee, Shambaugh, CJ Myers......

In terms of experience and talent, it is indeed much higher than before, that is......

Li Liang frowned, he found that there were three people in the team: Stephenson, McGee and JR Smith......

To be honest, after two years in the alliance, I still know my "colleagues" Li Liang.

Like Smith, McGee and Finson, you have to have one, the IQ of the team is basically messed up, and the IQ of the two is basically offline.

You've got three of you now! Get three people into one team!

"Hiss......" Li Liang felt gasp, Bird is very confident in his training ability!

As soon as the news of the Pacers' big deal came out, it immediately dominated the headlines.

A lot of people think it's a big gamble on the part of the Pacers.

Replacing Hibbert would mean a complete farewell to the Pacers and the clunky style of play of the past.

In exchange for JR Smith and McGee, it shows that the team has taken an important step on the road to lightweight and small balls.

As for bringing Granger back, many see it as a way to rebuild the Pacers' spiritual environment and get back to the good form the team had before last year's failed trade.

Of course, only Li Liang knows that changing back to Granger is the most important step.

As for Smith and McGee, Li Liang didn't expect it at all, he really didn't expect it.

Seeing that the deal was completed, Li Liang immediately called Bird to discuss the overall plan of the team after the trade.

Speaking of Smith, McGee, and Finson, the new "Indiana Three Fools", Li Liang asked Bird if he was sure to submit them.

Bird replied, "No, no, not at all, but we have you, we can rely on you." “

Li Liang had a question mark on his face, and I had to charge and manage logistics, and I had to be a commander and a political commissar?

"And what are you responsible for?"

"I'm in charge of the transaction, and now it's done."

Li Liang was silent for a while, and suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was a thousand catties.

He's really good at playing, and IQ correction isn't his strong point.

If Li Liang is compared to an educator, he must belong to the simple and crude traditional Chinese parents.

For example, when dealing with Finsen, he used his strength to make him understand, "Don't make trouble, you can't handle me." ”

But add another McGee, a Smith?

What's the matter? Do you want to continue with that?

Or do you turn on a hair dryer and let them understand that I have the final say in this team?

Li Liang fell into confusion all of a sudden.

"Damn, I'm still a third-grader, why should I think about such a problem and give me a?"

After thinking about it for a minute, Li Liang felt that this was not a problem for him to consider at all.

Get up, eat, go to training.

Compared with the three fools, Li Liang's heart is actually more concerned about Granger.

……

Without a warm goodbye or a farewell smile, the three Pacers players packed up their bags and left Indiana, one to Oklahoma and the other to New York, to start a new basketball life.

While the Pacers' new teammates hadn't arrived yet, Li Liang took part in the team's practice in the afternoon.

In the training hall, a wonderful atmosphere hangs over the court.

A team is a team, and when someone leaves and someone arrives, it always makes everyone feel different.

And what kind of changes the newcomers will bring to the walkers, everything is still unknown.

Li Liang recently finished his mission and began to actively devote himself to team training.

With the arrival of new players, the Pacers will definitely have to adjust their tactics and training.

Bird was interested in Brown's proposed lineup of Li Liang as a center, but thought it was still not complete.

Therefore, several games were still very difficult, especially after Li Liang played center, his fouls, mistakes and the decline in outside shooting rate were not well solved.

The coaching staff is seizing the time to meet and discuss and work out new and appropriate routines.

And Li Liang only thought about one thing, how to save Granger.

The two were teammates when they were on the Clippers, so they knew each other privately.

After the trade, Granger was the first of all to return to Indiana to report to the Pacers.

After all, this is where his NBA dream began.

And Li Liang contacted him very early and made an appointment to meet in the training hall.

On the first moment he saw Granger, Li Liang stepped forward and handed Granger a bottle of mineral water.

"Danny, drink the medicine."

"What medicine?" Granger Meng, I just wanted to hug Li Liang, how did I meet and drink medicine?

"No, drink the water, this is the etiquette of our Chinese friends to reunite, drink it."

Granger was feeling a little thirsty, so he took the mineral water and drank it.

My life was changed.
