Chapter 928: Twitter Coaching
The Lakers are Li Liang's first team after coming to the NBA.
For Li Liang, the Lakers can be regarded as a grace of knowledge.
Therefore, he has always been very affectionate towards the Lakers, and even after leaving, he made it clear that he would come back one day.
Of course, the main reason is that the task was not completed, and I have to go back to complete the task.
But Li Liang signed the king for four years, and it seems that he can't go back in these four years.
Li Liang has feelings for the Lakers, and Lakers fans also have feelings for Li Liang, every time he visits Stamps, there is never a shortage of fans who wear Li Liang's No. 28 fans.
But it's hard to say whether the Lakers management has feelings for Li Liang.
Even if there is, it may be a negative feeling.
For two summers in a row, the Lakers tried to recruit Li Liang back to Los Angeles.
But two times in a row, the Lakers made moves in advance to strengthen after feeling that there was little hope.
For the Lakers' behavior, to be honest, sometimes Li Liang doesn't like it.
Maybe that's what Buss Jr. does, craving superstars but maintaining the style of a basketball giant.
After Li Liang left the Lakers, he often kept in touch with his old teammates in the past.
Bryant was the most closely connected, along with West, who chose him.
Among the teammates who won the championship together, Nash retired early and was hired by the Warriors to be a coach this year, in order to find a way to deal with Li Liang.
But the relationship between the two is still quite good, and they will often call.
Since Ci Shiping changed his name, he feels that his brain is getting worse and worse, but he is a good person, and he will eat together when he meets each other.
The relationship with Howard is relatively cold, and it is not bad with Gasol, and they have seen the sea together during the Olympics.
Needless to say, Mike Brown is simply Li Liang's royal coach.
Coaches, players, and Li Liang get along well.
But the management can't, Bass Jr. relied on the 12-year crown to sit firmly in the seat, and Kupchak does have the wrist to make a big big three again, but unfortunately it didn't work out.
This year, Wade has been brought in, giving one more superstar in the purple and gold jersey.
Putting aside how much the team's strength has improved for the time being, it is not worth talking about whether this contract is worth it, Wade's arrival has indeed made the Lakers' ball market hot again.
In business, this signing can still score 9 points.
At present, the Lakers have 9 games, 7 wins and 2 losses, and are ranked first in the West, which should be said to be quite good.
The Kings are currently 6-3 and on a three-game winning streak, and the momentum is quite good.
Of course, the three opponents in the King's winning streak are not strong, and the Lakers are a hard bone for the Kings to bite.
Before the start of the game, the two teams began to fight with each other.
The Lakers and the King still have a grudge, and the Western Conference finals between the two sides in 02 have become an eternal unsolved case.
The two teams are also based in California and are rivals in the Pacific Division.
Before the game, Li Liang said in an open training session, "Defeating the Lakers shows that we are really on the right track, and Los Angeles has always been a place for Western teams to prove themselves." I've proven myself there too. ”
That's right, Li Liang has won championships in both teams in Los Angeles and is well-deserved as the "King of Los Angeles." ”
When he said this, it was actually an affirmation of the strength of the Lakers.
But to the ears of some Lakers, it doesn't seem to be a taste.
Anyway, Li Liang didn't return to Los Angeles for several years, and the operation of leaving after taking the FMVP was hated by the Lakers management for a lot of time.
Don't look at it, if there is no Li Liang, can you win the championship?
Of course, the management hated Li Liang not only because of honor and contract, but also because of money.
The Lakers originally signed a contract with Time Warner, Li Liang is here, and the ratings of the "Lakers Behind the Scenes" program have been high.
After Li Liang left, it was not as good as a year, Leonard and Lefu arrived last year, and the ratings rose, but they did not break through the peak when Li Liang was there.
This also led to Time Warner's dissatisfaction with the Lakers' top management and letting go of such a ruler.
Bass Jr. also had a hard time, so before this game, he had a conversation with Li Liang and said, "It's not that the Lakers haven't lost in history, but the Lakers are the Lakers, and the success of the Lakers is incomparable to other places." It may not sound good, but it's true. ”
This is really a stinky fart, of course, Kobe Bryant has said something similar.
Anyway, as a member of the Lakers, not to mention the players, coaches, and management, even the fans have an inexplicable sense of superiority.
This is really strange, if you have a club system in Europe, some fans are not only fans but also club members or even minority shareholders, and they can be superior, and you are a Lakers fan and you don't need any access system, you can do what you want to do, you don't do it, where does the superiority come from?
Although people's racial discrimination is wrong, it is indeed different for people to have a bad skin color, and they are raised by their parents.
This Lakers' jersey is what you want to wear, and you can take it off if you want, even if it is a little more expensive than other teams, ordinary people will not be short of those two dollars.
In short, Buss Jr.'s remarks caused dissatisfaction on the Kings' side, and even the dissatisfaction of players from other NBA teams.
Divac used to be a Laker and retired as a Lakers player.
In an interview, Divac told reporters, "I'm proud to be a Kings player, I spent the best years of my career with the Kings, and I think it's a truly great achievement if someone can lead this team to success." We're poor, we're not accumulating, we have to pay more if we want to win and we want to make money, and I think that's why Bruce Lee is here. ”
It was supposed to be just an ordinary regular season, but the war of words opened up all of a sudden.
Kobe Bryant, as a Lakers celebrity, will stand up and say a few words for the Lakers even if he retires.
But to be honest, Kobe himself doesn't particularly like the Lakers management led by Buss Jr.
So after retiring, the Lakers invited Kobe Bryant to join the team, but Kobe Bryant was unmoved, and it is said that he went to make cartoons.
"The pride of the Lakers comes from the performance on the court and the motivation of the past, he is a kind of persistence, an attitude towards basketball, I think this is worth learning from every player in the league, but pride does not mean arrogance, let alone victory, victory will not be sent to the door." Here's a quote from Kobe Bryant on Twitter.
To be honest, it makes sense, and it doesn't feel like a high school student's writing.
This shows that society is the best university, and experience is the best teacher.
As soon as Kobe Bryant said this, he seemed to be towards the Lakers, but it was a little derogatory to Buss Jr., saying that Buss Jr. was arrogant.
This guy is quite arrogant indeed.
And on November 10, the day of the game, something big happened in the sports circle - Bruce Lee announced that he had officially launched his personal Twitter.
Since then, the days when Wei Dazhi controlled Li Liang's social account are gone.
In the past, Li Liang was a player, and he had to concentrate on playing, but Twitter was really of little use, but would be distracted.
Now that social networks are becoming more and more important, after Li Liang became a coach, he sometimes needed to fight a dozen psychological battles with his opponents.
After all, this [Bob Knight's hair dryer] can only blow to the people around you, and the Twitter account can be aimed at the whole world!
At noon on November 10th, Li Liang posted his first tweet, which Wei Dazhi retweeted, followed by Li Liang's fans, who broke 20 million within an hour, creating the fastest record for the fastest number of Twitter followers in a single day.
If it weren't for the fact that Twitter isn't available in some countries and regions, doubling that number would not have been a problem.
And Li Liang's first tweet was also frantically retweeted:
"No one knows basketball better than I do."
Li Liang thus began his career as a Twitter coach.
