On the morning of August 2, the dust settled.

The Pacers officially announced on the whole network that they will trade Paul George and Marcinrice to get the Cavaliers' Li Liang and Witesse - the Pacers also have a future second-round pick.

The summer soap opera, directed by Li Liang, came to an end, creating a dramatic transfer experience that is unique in NBA history.

After retiring from autobiography, this history can definitely be taken out and written about in a big book.

The entire world of public opinion and fans was in an uproar.

I didn't expect the deal to take shape.

It's really a dare to buy, a dare to sell.

The Cavaliers dropped an MVP from the sky, and if they said they were sold, they would be sold.

The future star that the Pacers just signed is changing.

Of course, the luckiest thing is the Cavaliers, who got a Li Liang for nothing, and it is not a loss to change George, on the contrary, George and James, this combination feels more reasonable.

Griffin and Gilbert had to wake up laughing in their dreams, and they really wanted to put Li Liang's picture in the office and put it up.

However, some media people pointed out that it was definitely a mistake for the Cavaliers to trade Li Liang to the Eastern team.

"If you keep Bruce Lee in the East or with the Pacers, then it doesn't matter what kind of lineup your Cavaliers make."

Here's what reporter Stephen Smith had to say about the Cavaliers trade.

And the teams in the west are still snickering, the west is already fiercely competitive, and it is really good to send Li Liang to the east.

The only thing that can't laugh is the Clippers.

If Li Liang seeks a trade, he can definitely trade for quality players, such as Paul George.

Li Liang was also very sorry for this, and called Ballmer after the deal was completed, thanking him for his tolerance and support, and apologizing for his willfulness.

Ballmer was generous, understanding Li Liang, thanking him for the historic accolades he brought to the Clippers, and said he was considering whether to buy the Pacers.

The Pacers made a very risky trade because George signed a five-year contract, while Leung is likely to only be with one team for one year.

Walkers weren't a favorite place for superstars in the first place.

Larry Bird is also desperate, starting from the 90s, Reggie Miller, to O'Neal Jr., and now George West, the Pacers have been up and down for 20 years, just a little bit away from the peak.

Lost the Eastern Conference Finals many times and lost once in the Finals.

Bird thought to himself, 15 years is to rush to the championship, if he can't rush, he can't keep Li Liang, it's a big deal to rebuild, or he simply won't be the general manager.

For basketball, he has no obsession, and he gets everything he deserves.

And from a business point of view, the Pacers finally have a superstar coming, and the fans of Inmura can be said to be excited, and it is conceivable that the Pacers' home stadium will be full in the new season.

Although the Pacers have never won an NBA championship, Indiana is an out-and-out basketball state and sports state in the United States.

The large open cornfields and simple rural life here make the people very fond of sports, basketball, motor racing, rugby, and there are fanatical believers here.

Among them, Indianapolis, located in the core of India, is a sports city built by the whole state, where there are 5 national highways, 4 interstate highways pass through, and 60% of the population of the United States can drive to Indianapolis in one day.

The city has a large number of sports facilities, a well-developed hotel and catering service system, which can be used by sports fans from all over the United States to watch or participate in various sports activities in person.

The news of Li Liang's successful deal made the whole city boil.

After learning that the Pacers got Li Liang, a large number of fans went to the home court, holding a portrait of Li Liang, hoping to see Li Liang at the Conseco Arena.

Li Liang fulfilled the fans' wishes, arriving in Indiana on August 2, completing a medical and attending a press conference with Bird.

Then in the square, Li Liang greeted all the Pacers fans and declared, "I will bring the championship back to the basketball state." ”

Indiana occupies an extremely important place in the history of American basketball.

Especially in the NCAA, Indiana contributed important talent to the nation, and Bob Knight was the head coach of Indiana University back then.

Needless to say, Bird, of course, is the pride of Indiana basketball.

Every year, Indiana's high school basketball league is the most intense and popular league in the United States, and the training of youth basketball here is very effective.

It's just a pity that at the top basketball level, they have always lacked something.

Li Liang can bring them.

After the meeting, Bird was going to take Li Liang to visit the team's headquarters, and then take him to see the accommodation that the team had arranged for him.

Li Liang asked, "Hey Larry, you haven't announced important news at the press conference yet." ”

Bird said: "Oh, no hurry, I don't want to get the fans nervous twice in a day, I need a while to prepare. ”

Li Liang said: "Okay, I hope you will do what you say, otherwise ......"

"Or what? Otherwise, do you still have to apply for a trade? ”

"Or I'll scold you."

"Oh my God, I'm so scared, someone is going to scold me."

Bird was unmoved in the face of Li Liang's "threat".

Li Liang didn't say much, and he would let you know what "scolding" was when the time came.

Don't say you, Larry Bird, aren't afraid of Coach Bob Knight, who played at Indiana University in the first place, was scolded and couldn't play, and finally dropped out and slipped home?

With each mind in mind, Bird took Li Liang to the residence arranged for him by the team, a luxury apartment in downtown Indianapolis.

This is a property of Walker owner Herb Simon, the location is very good, the transportation, life is very convenient, and it is located on the top floor, there are upper and lower jumps, you can watch the stars at night from the rooftop of the top floor.

Indianapolis has undergone an industrial transformation since the 80s, from an industrial city to a sports city, and the air in the city is very good.

It's not New York, Los Angeles, it's not brightly lit, it's a good place to live.

Li Liang and Zhu Shu were very satisfied with the accommodation, and Bird also said that Li Liang had hired a Chinese chef who could help Li Liang cook every day.

The apartment is cleaned by a special maid who takes care of all kinds of housekeeping, so you don't have to worry about life at all.

The Pacers are better than the Cavaliers in this regard, and the Cavaliers' minds are on James going home, and in Indiana, Li Liang is the new center.

This is what the NBA league and Xiao Hua are also happy to see.

The East has been weak for a long time, and James is alone, and he really needs someone to fight against James.

Although Xiao Hua doesn't like Li Liang, this guy is really strong.

It's good to let him stay in Dayin Village.

In short, in the end, everyone was happy, and all parties were satisfied.

And they are all looking forward to the new season.

However, the news about the Pacers didn't end there.

Just a week after the deal was closed, Larry Bird held another press conference to announce a "change in personal role." “

Then at the press conference, not only Bird participated, but also the team's head coach Vogel and former Clippers assistant coach Mike Brown.

"After careful consideration, I decided to return as the head coach of the Pacers next season, with Vogel and Mike Brown as assistant coaches for the team."

At the press conference, Bird said in his emotionless voice, and threw another bomb at the circle of public opinion.
