Chapter 758: Who the hell is the coach
It's not been a day or two since Mike Brown put gold on his face, and even he believed it later.
But this time Brown didn't tell a complete lie, Brown has been in touch with Li Liang in the summer, and basically the two will talk on the phone once a week.
Brown will remind Li Liang to focus on improving his interior skills and enhancing the three-dimensionality of his offense.
"It allows you to play with less effort in regular competition, and at the same time has long-term benefits for your career development."
Brown said this to Li Liang, he is also true to Li Liang, and he has seriously considered all aspects.
He believes that Li Liang's scoring explosiveness is rare in the world, especially in the playoffs and finals, with magical three-point shots and super touch.
Therefore, Li Liang can further improve and stabilize his overall endurance, so that his overall condition can be steadily improved, especially in the future, he can cope with the long regular season and possible injuries.
Of course, Brown didn't know that it was impossible for Li Liang to be injured, and his explosiveness mainly relied on props.
However, Brown's opinion is very beneficial, and Brown believes that Li Liang can be a unique player in NBA history, with the best combination of inside and outside, and he has this heart to guide Li Liang.
So at that time, Li Liang chose the "Malone template", which also referred to Brown's opinion.
Li Liang agrees with Brown's rhetoric, which is indeed Coach Brown's guidance, which is profound and connotative.
This puts Thunder coach Donovan under a lot of pressure, and the hairline may be a little higher this season.
You can also learn from Mike Brown, the whole bald head can make you stronger.
The Thunder's training camp is in full swing, and with the arrival of Li Liang, the team has received unprecedented attention.
Several heavyweight media outlets have stationed their best teams of reporters in the city and have staffed excellent columnists, and they have been following the situation of the new triumvirate since the training camp.
Judging from the external situation, of course, it is harmonious, and Li Liang is interviewed and trained every day as usual.
He was also invited by the local media in the city to participate in some community events, appear on TV shows, and even the mayor invited Li Liang to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new city hall in Oklahoma City and warmly welcomed Li Liang's arrival.
As the clock ticked on, into October, and as the pre-season approached, something was discovered.
For example, Kevin Durant appears less and less often in the media, newspapers, and websites that day.
For example, reporters found that Westbrook often gave interviews with Li Liang, while Durant became much more of a loner.
For example, so far, the media has not taken a next framed photo of Li Liang and Durant.
Either together on the field or with Westbrook, the two of them don't seem to have much in common.
Li Liang doesn't matter, anyway, Lao Tzu is better than you, what do you like, can I still coax you?
And Durant's personality is obviously different from James, although James has been hammered by Li Liang for three consecutive years, which is quite unhappy, but the relationship between the two is quite good in private, and sometimes they will text and call to discuss basketball issues.
Coach Gan seriously instructed James, saying that his three-point shooting was too poor, "You can't shoot three-pointers, I advise you to practice more ultra-long three-pointers, so that there will be a reason not to score." ”
Really TM is a brilliant suggestion.
Durant is different, he was originally the most watched person in the city, and he was the basketball hero of the city.
You know, there is only one major league professional team in the entire state of Oklahoma, and before the SuperSonics moved to the Thunder, enthusiastic Oklahoma fans could only support the college basketball team.
Durant and Westbrook have grown with the team since its inception, and his symbolism here is remarkable.
Or, he thinks of himself as extraordinary, and the result is ......
Turn on your phone, look at Twitter, INS, and those sports reporters who used to follow, all showing Bruce Lee's news.
They take pride in their interview with Bruce Lee, and they go out of their way to dig into the star's various qualities, gossip, and follow his every move.
No way, who made him a winner, a real winner.
Even if everyone knew that this thing would probably only stay in Russia for a year or two, it would be better to treat him as a treasure.
In fact, this is Durant's brain is not clear, it is precisely because everyone knows that he only stays for a year, so he is a treasure and hurry up to gather wool.
Anyway, Durant feels that he has been left out, not respected, and emotional.
For nearly two weeks of practice, Durant remained silent most of the time and rarely spoke to reporters.
However, he trains longer every day, and he has to stay and practice until dark after the team's training.
With him was only Westbrook, as for ...... He started to be late from the third day of training camp.
Mike Brown said again, it's Bruce Lee's routine, don't worry, he's late, it's a sign he's training hard.
Donovan didn't know where this logic was, but Brown said that, and he had to listen to it, who made him coach Li Liang the most experienced?
And what Li Liang is doing, of course, he is doing a task.
Although he has completed the training of the "Malone Template", Li Liang still has a few tasks that he has set for himself that he has not completed.
One is related to tactics, in the system with Wooden, Sloan to learn UCLA's tactical system, this course is quite long, the content is quite rich.
In the class tasks, Coach Wooden guided him very carefully, which made Li Liang wonder if this system wanted him to be a coach?
It's not that this is not impossible, Li Liang thinks that if Mike Brown can be a coach, then he can do it too.
When the time comes, he will be the head coach, Mike Brown will be the assistant coach, and the remote control will be Mike Brown, won't this coach be very good?
Of course, Li Liang is just thinking about it, and he is not interested in this for the time being.
Another is related to the body, for the card position under the basket, the muscle training of the back and waist, Li Liang has entered a bottleneck stage.
With the help of the "Malone template", it was easy to pass the "Anthony Mason" level, and then he sent Otis Thorpe, the top blue-collar power forward who was paired with Olajuwon by the Rockets in 1994.
Although Mason has a big buttocks, he is the height of a small forward after all, and Li Liang can still withstand it if he wants to find a way.
And Thorpe is a real 2.8 meters, the height of a big forward, the weight of the body, and the basket position skills are very good.
When Li Liang played in the 1994 Western Conference Finals, he was very uncomfortable with Thorpe, and he used three-point shots to mobilize him.
Now that I am going head-to-head with him, the physical energy and energy consumed can be imagined.
However, in order to raise his basket position to the level of 80, Li Liang also worked hard.
He hopes to be in place before the start of the new season, so that he can be a good power forward.
Combined with his small forward's offensive ability and quite good organizational skills, he will definitely be able to inject great vitality into the Thunder.
At the same time, he can also take care of Durant in terms of playing style, so as not to squeeze his ball and tactical space too much.
In this regard, Li Liang is much more generous than Durant.
But it doesn't matter, Li Liang has already forgiven Durant, who makes you still a little handsome.
……
Time flies quickly, Durant's heart is not so small, and in late October, Li Liang and his teammates get along more and more harmoniously.
The atmosphere of the Thunder team is indeed very good, there are many young players, most of them are slowly drafted by the management, and there are relatively few moths.
There are no veteran players who are old oily, and there are not many players in the team who even have tattoos.
The main ones are tattoos, namely Adams and Vitesse.
Everyone slowly discovered that Li Liang is the kind of perfect teammate and perfect leader.
Although the scolding in the training was quite strong, and he was shamelessly late, his infectious energy and leadership were really strong.
The three rings on the hand, shot all over the league, really not covered.
Durant also slowly discovered that in tactical training, Li Liang did not occupy his position.
On the contrary, he perfectly filled the void left by Ibaka's departure, and greatly enriched the team's offensive and defensive routines.
And he treats people enthusiastically, without the slightest arrogance, at this time Durant is still posturing, it is too much to say.
Durant isn't bad, he's actually very simple.
And Donovan's tactical board feels a little unarranged, and I don't know what tactics to focus on in the new season.
At this time, Mike Brown, as a seasoned championship coach, told Donovan, "You can arrange whatever you want, and Bruce will always have a way to adapt and help you improve the system better." ”
It's so confident, Donovan is a little skeptical, Mike Brown, who is the coach between you and Bruce Lee?
