On October 4th, the 2017 season slowly kicked off.

Just the day after the league announced the "Bruce Lee" clause, the Sacramento Kings' new season training camp kicked off at the team's training center.

On the day of the training camp, the number of reporters in the training center scared the Kings players.

Never experienced it, never experienced it.

Generally speaking, only on a team like the Lakers, there will be so many people at one opening ceremony.

For the past few seasons, the Kings have been obscure and have only had a local influence.

After this summer passed, everything changed.

On the day of the opening of the training camp, in the morning, the whole team took photos of the jerseys for the new season in the training center.

For Li Liang, his makeup photos are more than others - one more set of coaches.

The main color of the Kings team has not changed, it is still a mysterious purple.

The team's logo was changed at the launch of the new jersey in June this year.

From the previous letter "KING", it was changed to a king crown pattern, accompanied by a basketball.

This is a relatively standard logo design.

In addition to the two standard colors of home white and away purple, there is also a black away jersey and a retro sky blue and white jersey, which are mainly these four styles.

Li Liang is undoubtedly the busiest, and others wear a set of clothes all the time and shoot everywhere.

Li Liang had to change back and forth, wearing the player's first, then changing into a sports shirt, and taking makeup photos with the coaching staff.

The entire training center can be said to be endless, and there are constantly media reporters coming to interview, ask questions, and take pictures.

When he first arrived at Guibaodi, Li Liang still had to show his elegant temperament, basically answering all questions and answering interviews.

Thinking that as a head coach in the future, he would often attend various press conferences, and Li Liang regretted it a little.

Damn, it's not good to do something, you have to do this kind of work that is not done by people.

Wouldn't it be over if you let Mike Brown be a puppet in front of you and command remotely in the back?

I have to pretend to be a coach for a task.

Since the beginning of September, Li Liang has not been idle.

In addition to normal training, they are also involved in part of the team's management practices.

For example, scouting new players, recruiting veterans, etc.

In order to sign Gordon and West, Li Liang followed the management, flew all over the United States, met with these players in person, and used his unmatched charm to conquer them and let them play in a small team like the Kings.

With this time, while training at home, while accompanying his family, isn't it fragrant for him to do a task in his dreams?

This flying around, doing tasks on airplanes?

Li Liang used to like to see the seams and do tasks on the plane.

But at that time, the task was simple, the promotion effect was obvious, and not long after entering the alliance, he was still playing as a substitute, and there was nowhere to release his energy.

Now that there are more things, the energy is obviously not enough to be distributed, and sleeping is sleeping.

It wasn't until before the start of training camp that he completed the task of packing and clamping Olajuwon and Robertson, and improved his dribbling ability to 80 points, which was really not easy.

This task is the one that Li Liang has passed for the longest time.

The task is difficult on one hand, and on the other hand, because from the beginning of June to the present, Li Liang's time and energy have been taken away by too many things.

This year, Li Liang is already 26 years old, and he will be 27 years old soon.

The age of 25 is a watershed, and before the age of 25, you can do what you want to do and what you like without distractions.

For the ideal, for the dream, devote yourself to it.

After the age of 25, I began to find that life became more and more complicated, and there were more and more things to worry about.

The trivial things of life occupy more and more of Li Liang's 24-hour day.

Although he has bodyguards, assistants, assistant coaches, and agents, he still has to do a lot of things himself.

For example, if you want to get married and have children in the future, can't you let someone do it for you and play ball by yourself?

In particular, Li Liang also got himself a position as head coach.

However, watching the team assemble before the training camp and the players of their choice were successfully signed, the sense of accomplishment is still very strong.

Since winning four championships, the excitement brought to Li Liang by the championship is no longer strong enough.

Especially in the Olympic Games, he led the Chinese team all the way to the finals, and the process of defeating the strong with the weak is really unforgettable.

Looking at this king now, several generals are related to him, Rondo, Gordon, and West, all of whom he personally recruited.

Instantly, there was a feeling of, "This team has half my blood."

This feeling gives people a sense of belonging.

Li Liang felt this way for the first time.

In an interview with local media, Li Liang said, "This is the first time I have confirmed that I will play in one place for a long time, and I think I will bring something different to the king and Sacramento, something that can be remembered for a long time and will be remembered in the future." ”

Li Liang no longer wants to just win the championship and become the strongest player in history, he wants to leave something behind.

This trip to the Olympics made a deep impression on him.

Those things left for the sake of the country, for the spirit of the people, are more precious than the champion.

As an athlete from a socialist country, to come to a capitalist country and leave some spiritual wealth for them is precisely the original intention of internationalism.

……

In the afternoon, the opening ceremony of the camp in the morning was over, the makeup photos were taken, the press conference was over, and the training camp finally began.

Reporters were asked out of the training center, and the first practice session of the new season for the Kings began.

This year has been really special for the Kings' players, and it's the first time the player-coach has met.

Everyone wants to see how the new head coach arranges the training of the whole team and how he is involved in the training.

Do I arrange my own arrangement?

As a result, Li Liang gave a very simple and perfect implementation plan.

Before the start of the training, he worked with his assistant coaching staff to discuss the basic flow and plan of the training.

Then, the task is assigned to the assistant coach and trainer, and then the whistle is given to Mike Brown, who then directs the whole team to practice.

The moment Mike Brown took the whistle, it felt like something was wrong.

If you follow this process, what is the difference between him and being a head coach in the past?

In the past, Li Liang also discussed with the coaching staff before training, and then participated in the team's training after pointing fingers.

Right now...... It feels the same!

It's no different from the past!

It really doesn't make a difference.

Li Liang does not want to be an "authoritative" coach.

The kind of coach who scolds and yells behind the players, Li Liangcai doesn't want to do.

That kind of coach, sooner or later, will have to go bald.

Li Liang believes that with his character and demeanor, he can be a "Confucian handsome".

I don't need to spit out the fragrance in my mouth, and my small mouth is smeared with honey.

The team's first training session was arranged in a very oriented manner, and it was also a training course set by Li Liang himself.

Lesson 1: Three-point shots.
