Chapter 366: Good Coach

?? [Dr. J's Exploding Head]?

Li Liang took a look at the exchange center and found that it was an explosive wig.

Check out the features: [Special items, wear this wig, you will have a lot of dunk tricks. Note: Can only be used in unofficial matches. 】

Sure enough, it's an entertainment product, and it's the same as the previous [Black Pearl's courtesy], which is most suitable for showing off in the All-Star Game or on the streets.

Li Liang thought to himself, with this thing, can I go to the slam dunk contest?

Li Liang just won the three-point title last season, and if he can win another dunk title with this explosive head, he will become the first player in NBA history to win both titles.

And he's still a Chinese, it's not too fantastical.

Put away the explosive head, and Li Liang came out of the system.

During this period of continuous tasks, the body is still a little tired.

It's late July, and some training camps are already underway across the country.

The three months of July, August, and September will be the concentrated period of various training camps.

Needless to say, Los Angeles is certainly a training paradise for players.

Li Liang has received training camp invitations from many players in the past two days, including Chris Paul's, and after Li Liang signed with the Clippers, he kept in touch with Li Liang, hoping that he could train together in the summer.

Li Liang said I don't want to go, I don't want to go to Kobe's training camp, let alone Paul's?

Li Liang is so faceless.

After thinking about it, he decided to gather his classmates in Kentucky to practice for the season.

The training took place not in Los Angeles, but back to the University of Kentucky.

Anthony Davis, Cousins, Wall, Jones and others were called by Li Liang and returned to their alma mater.

It was from this year that Li Liang held the "Kentucky Alumni Basketball Camp" in Kentucky every summer, inviting players who graduated from Kentucky to return to the school for training.

Kentucky is certainly warmly welcomed.

After returning to Kentucky, Li Liang was also commended by the university and received a medal of "Outstanding Alumni".

When he was in school, Li Liang was an ordinary student.

It's just tall, handsome, can dance, sing, play games, have good grades, excellent academic ability, strong debating ability, quick thinking, and can speak......

Anyway, apart from these, it's basically useless, and on Kentucky's glorious alumni list, it's just an ordinary person.

In just one year, he is an NBA All-Star, three-point king, best rookie, Finals MVP, and a proper basketball celebrity.

At such times, your alma mater will not forget you.

A medal of honor was sent to Li Liang, and Li Liangshun made a donation to the school with meaning.

Damn, I ordered a dish and went in with a sum of money.

The Kentucky Alumni Bootcamp lasted two weeks.

Li Liang trained with Anthony Davis, Cousins, Wall, Knight, and others.

Davis and the others were surprised to find that Li Liang's strength seemed to have improved again.

Will this guy attack with the ball on his own?

It's scary, how the hell did he train and improve?

On weekdays, they all asked Li Liang how he trained in the offseason.

Why is there such a big increase in strength in such a short period of time?

Indeed, Li Liang's rise from a penniless NCAA water cooler to an All-Star plus 60-point Finals MVP is simply a miracle.

This can't help but remind one of the NFL's low-pick superstars, Tom Brady, who was drafted by the Patriots with the 199th pick.

But compared to Brady, Li Liang's college career was even worse, and Brady was still the main player of the team in the latter part of his college career and shone in the game.

And Li Liang's only highlight was the free throw at the end of the final.

And basketball is not the same as rugby, basketball is a game of superstars, there are a total of 10 people on the court, and personal ability is very important.

Other young players with potential are improving every year, and Li Liang is improving every month, and the speed is staggering.

Not only Davis and others, who were classmates, were curious, but college head coach Calipari was even more puzzled.

Because of the great achievements in Li Liang, many people have begun to question the coaching level of Calipari.

Ask him why Li Liang didn't discover his ability in four years of college, and only shined in the NBA?

Calipari is hard to argue, he really was a flying man in college, and he didn't have any advantages other than hard work, accurate free throws, good physical fitness, and good looks.

It was already a miracle to be able to enter the NBA, and when he played the main team, Calipari felt that it must be a dream.

When he learned that Li Liangjin was an all-star, Kalipari thought of Moses crossing the Red Sea, the Buddha Bodhi Tree, the resurrection of Jesus, and Lao Tzu's journey to the west.

When Li Liang scored 60 points in a single game in the finals, Calipari could only kneel on the toilet and sing conquest.

Li Liang faced the questions of his classmates and coaches and decided to tell the truth.

"Actually, one day I suddenly fell into the lake at school, saved a girl, and then I was implanted with a special technology product that can modify my body and learn all kinds of basketball skills. Everything happens while I'm sleeping, so I can improve my basketball skills just by sleeping. ”

After listening to Li Liang, Davis and the others, as well as Kalipari, all looked indifferent and shook their heads, not believing it at all.

This kid is full of airplanes again, but it's really hard to say about basketball talent.

Maybe Li Liang was late in development, and he didn't completely release his talent until he was 22 years old.

Seeing that everyone doesn't believe it, Li Liang has no choice, I'm telling the truth, what can you do if you don't believe me.

It was a fun and fulfilling two weeks in Kentucky.

For two weeks, Li Liang and his former teammates trained and ate together, as if they had returned to their college days.

Not only do they train together, but they also help the newcomers to the team practice.

Last season, the University of Kentucky had a poor record, and after losing a group of players such as Davis, setting a record for the most NBA entries in a single school season, Kentucky's combat effectiveness plummeted.

Although he supplemented a talented player like Knoll, Li Liang tried him at that time, and his basketball IQ was not good, and he was embarrassed.

Sure enough, this year, the University of Kentucky didn't even enter the national competition, and Li Liang didn't have a chance to watch the competition of his alma mater.

Learned from the pain, Calipari has worked recruiting new players in the summer and is no longer pinning his hopes on finding a replacement for Anthony Davis, who wants to recreate the Kentucky Wildcats.

Relying on the University of Kentucky's golden signature, five players in the top 10 of the 2013 High School Top 100 Newcomers were recruited by Calipari.

Julius Randle in second, Andrew Harrison in fifth, Aaron Harrison in sixth, and Darkari Johnson and James Young in joint ninth.

One of the main reasons for last season's poor results was the team's poor forward line.

When Li Liang came to train in the summer, the team couldn't make up a few decent forwards.

So this time, Calipari recruited a lot of young and talented forward players at once, and now the basketball world has entered the era of the front line is king.

In addition to James and Durant, the benchmark of this era is the new FMVP Li Liang.

On the last day of the camp, Calipari organized a rivalry in the school gymnasium.

The veteran players form a group, and the new students form a group, so that the new students can feel the confrontation and ability at the level of NBA stars.

The result, of course, was that the freshman group was beaten so that their mothers didn't know each other.

Davis and Cousins have two towers on the inside, Wall and McGee on the outside have one offense and one defense, and Li Liang is placed at the small forward position.

This lineup allows the NBA to compete for the championship.

Li Liang played against Julius Randle on the field and defended this brave and strong young man.

Li Liang also gave him a ball blind identification, the ball quotient is not too high, but it is okay and has potential.

After the match, Randall was convinced of Li Liang, and he deserved to be FMVP.

Li Liang did not show much of his offensive ability with the ball, on the contrary, he still used his brain to educate Randle on how to influence the situation in various ways, instead of rushing in when he got the ball.

Randle took the initiative to ask Li Liang for an autograph, Li Liang agreed, and asked, "Which team do you want to play in the future?" ”

Randall said, "Clippers." ”

Li Liang smiled: "Don't come to the Clippers, go to the Lakers." ”

"Why?"

"The Lakers have a good coach."
