Bird is a coach different from Brown and Rivers.

A fellow player-oriented coach, Rivers is a master of chicken soup and a control freak.

Rivers' desire to control the team and the coaching staff is actually very strong.

Rivers has to be involved in everything, and he has to work part-time as a team manager.

It's just that when Li Liang was there, he sprayed Rivers into a stake.

With Li Liang leaving this year, it is estimated that Rivers' work will be much heavier.

Bird, on the other hand, is a man in control, but he often chooses to delegate power.

When he was coaching Reggie Miller's Pacers, Bird often ceded the opportunity to draw the strategy board to the assistant coach when he was playing.

He thinks the assistant coach is better than him when it comes to tactical details, so he doesn't talk about it, he listens from the sidelines.

Because of this, the atmosphere of the Pacers team at that time was excellent and unprecedented.

is to fight for nothing, and Bird and Li Liang are the same in this regard.

This time, Bird was forced to be the head coach because of the duck on the shelf, so he had no interest in controlling the team or anything.

Lao Tzu was originally the general manager of the team, and I picked all the people, so what do I have to control?

Moreover, Vogel and Brown both have a wealth of experience as head coaches, and it is purely overkill to have them as assistant coaches.

In the summer of this year, many teams invited Brown to coach, but Brown refused, just to follow Li Liang and complete his "cultivation" career.

Therefore, from the usual training to the normal game, Bird let the assistant coach solve the problem, communicate with the players, and arrange tactics, and Bird only assigns and summarizes the tasks.

Bird is a trash talker, but he's not Peyton's talker.

Bird pays attention to killing with one blow, killing people and punishing the heart, either don't say it, or take the key point if he says it.

It's a pity that I met Li Liang, and I found that I couldn't talk back!

Throughout the halftime, the numbers "8 and 60" echoed in Bird's mind.

It was 30 years ago, but why do you still feel so ashamed when you think about it now?

The bad thing in the depths of Bird's memory was suddenly ticked out by Li Liang.

As a result, fifteen minutes after the break, Bird did not speak, making the players nervous and embarrassed.

With a lead of more than 20 points in the first half, why did the head coach still say nothing, as if he was very dissatisfied?

Stephenson whispered to Hibbert, "I just heard the coach say that the first half should be 50 points ahead." “

"Really? 50 points? At half-time, it was too difficult. ”

The players whispered.

The Pacers' locker room has been problematic since the second half of last season.

The good atmosphere that had been created in the previous two or three years was completely destroyed.

After the start of the new season, although the arrival of Li Liang made the Pacers full of hope.

However, the players think differently, and with West and Hill sidelined due to injury, there is still a sense of depression throughout the Pacers.

This feeling of depression made Li Liang feel not particularly comfortable.

The two teams he stayed in before were both high-spirited.

You're used to being in a place with fresh air, and suddenly you come to a room with cloudy air, and it's definitely uncomfortable.

But Li Liang didn't say anything, just silently listened to Vogel's tactics for the second half.

He knew that when a team's locker room was in the same atmosphere, it was not okay to pour a bowl of chicken soup into it.

The best way to do that is to win, to win, to win.

Victory can cover up all problems, and victory can heal all wounds.

After the break, the second half continued.

The 76ers no longer have any strong will to resist.

After Embiid's injury, the 76ers' main goal this season is only to continue to play for the top pick.

With 22 points behind in the first half, Li Liang was unstoppable, and there was no way to stop it.

When a player can go bald, or bald for short, you can stop him.

Li Liang spent a summer practicing the ball-handling offense, and although it was still relatively rough, he had already begun to announce to the entire NBA: I, Bruce Lee, last season's MVP, Finals champion, Los Angeles two-time champion, mobile little dynasty, and continue to improve.

In the second half, the Pacers played team basketball under the leadership of Li Liang.

Hibbert finally got a chance to slowly fall into the ground and bully Noel with a slow back-to-back single.

Noel's body is an advantage in the NCAA, but it's a bit under-seen in the NBA.

What's more, his basketball IQ is really not good, Li Liang has measured his ball blindness index, this kid can't do it.

It was when he was in Kentucky that the Wildcats had the worst national record.

Hibbert, who was walked by Li Liang in the first half, scored in the second half in a row of low shots, consolidating the team's victory step by step.

He scored 17 points in the second half and 22 points as a whole.

And after Li Liang hit his score to 30 points, he didn't continue to score points.

When he was a rookie, Li Liang had to use the Garbage King Medal to brush up his worth to increase his value, but now he doesn't need it.

Winning games with ease, that's what he's after.

Otherwise, wouldn't he be looked down upon by Larry Bird?

Bird finally found the words to counter Li Liang in the second half - he sat on the sidelines without saying a word or calling a timeout, just thinking about it.

He said simply and clearly that Li Liang is a "brush", who often appears on the stage in garbage time and dares to fight and brush up his scores.

Bird was right, but Li Liang didn't like to hear it.

Am I not here to exercise myself?

Is it wrong to train yourself on the field and work hard to improve?

Bird shrugged and said, "Really? Anyway, I never bothered to brush points. ”

There was a four-double opportunity in front of Bird, and Bird didn't cherish it, saying that I just wanted to rest, and I was tired.

Throughout the fourth quarter, Li Liang did not appear again, and the game had entered garbage time.

In the first game of the new season, there was garbage time to rest, which was a good feeling.

"If you know how to brush, you won't only get 8 points."

The veins in Bird's head were about to burst out, but his face was still sinking like water, and there was no wave.

Is there any end to it? It's been TM for more than 30 years, and besides, Lao Tzu won the championship!

"So you have one less FMVP~"

Li Hao seemed to understand what Bird was thinking, and made up for it.

In 1981, Bird was the core of the team, but Maxwell was the better statistically, so Bird did not win the Finals MVP.

"If you want to go up and fight for a while, I can send you up."

Bird finally couldn't help but say to Li Liang, instead of letting him talk nonsense on the bench, it was better to let him go up to the game, and the audience bought tickets to see him.

Of course Li Liang was not happy, he took all the knee pads, and he was already sitting on the field with ice packs to compress his knees.

Li Liang really has no one to take care of his body.

Generally, some veterans will start to apply ice packs to the joints early, and these parts are usually injured.

Since Li Liang brought all kinds of equipment, he basically has no injuries.

That's it, he is not sick when he is sick, and a small injury is a big injury, anyway, if the wolfberry is soaked, he will drink it, and he will be healthy if he does not treat the disease.

With his level of finesse, it is not a problem to fight until he is 40 years old.

In the end, the Pacers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers at home by 110-89, 21 points, and got their first win of the new season.

Li Liang had 30 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, and deserved to be the best player of the game.

And Li Liang really didn't use his strength tonight, and the opponent fell.

In an interview with reporters after the game, the reporter asked if Li Liang had done any special training this summer, and he seemed to have evolved again.

Li Liang said: "Oh, no, I didn't do any special training, I just ...... It's that I learned a little bit of new basic techniques, and it was Coach Mike Brown who taught me a lot of money. ”

As soon as Li Liang said this, Coach Brown was about to swell again.

The first game against the 76ers was really a little too easy for the Pacers.

The 76ers didn't have a single one to fight.

And in the next game, the Pacers will face the first challenge of the new season.

Lamination Warning – Memphis Grizzlies.
