Chapter 367 Help
Speaking of coaches, Li Liang misses Mike Brown very much.
However, since Li Liang decided to join the Clippers, the two have never contacted each other.
Li Liang felt that his choice was worthy of anyone, and the only person who felt a little guilty was Mike Brown.
Others, whether it is Kobe, Howard, any Lakers player, or Lakers boss, fans, Li Liang, have a clear conscience.
I gave the Lakers championship and what you want, and I don't have any burden to leave.
But Mike Brown is a little different. Li Liang knows that Brown is very good to him.
Although Brown looked down on Li Liang at first, he was blown away by Li Liang's hair dryer and gradually realized Li Liang's value, and finally regarded Li Liang as his thigh.
Li Liang was able to be so successful in his first season, in addition to improving his strength in the system, he was definitely inseparable from the trust and support of Mike Brown.
Basically, how Li Liang wanted to fight, Brondo supported his idea.
If you change to a coach with a tougher temper, even if you have a hair dryer, Li Liang may not be so sensible.
In addition to the field, Li Liang and Brown have a good relationship.
Brown's son is a fan of Li Liang and often comes to Stamps to watch Li Liang's games.
In private, Brown sometimes invites Li Liang to have dinner at home, and he is having fun.
After the finals, Brown expressed his respect for any decision he made, whether it was staying in the Lakers or leaving the Lakers.
Brown himself undoubtedly wants to stay with the Lakers.
Best coach, champion coach, tactical master who wins no moves, and psychologist who combines the six-star Lakers. Who will stay if he doesn't leave?
But without Li Liang, can Brown still be so skillful?
Thinking of this, Li Liang often feels a little sorry for Coach Brown.
Brown's extreme trust and tolerance for him is the sunshine and rain of his growth.
Li Liang actually knows the situation of the Lakers. Next season, Kobe's Achilles tendon will rupture next season. He doesn't know when he will return. The team's lineup will be aging further, and his salary space will be completely locked with Howard's big contract.
With the combat effectiveness of the current Lakers lineup, it is really not optimistic about what it can be played in the new season.
In the eyes of fans, the Lakers are naturally strong. Even if one Li Liang is missing, it will be a five-star.
But Li Liang plays with the Lakers himself, and he is clear about his inner state.
In addition, the veterans won the championship last season, the mentality of the veterans will change.
So, Mike Brown's life will definitely not be easy in the new season.
After thinking about it, after finishing training camp in Kentucky, he decided to have a meal with Mike Brown.
The place for dinner was arranged at Li Liang's home.
Li Liang is currently the focus of public opinion. He is prone to being watched when he goes out for dinner, which is more troublesome.
So Li Liang invited Brown to have a meal at home.
Mike Brown agreed readily and took his wife and son to Li Liang's house.
Zhu Shu prepared a sumptuous supper in the posture of a hostess.
Li Liang is really good at choosing the agent, and he has done all the work of the chef.
I haven't seen Mike Brown for a while, and Li Liang thinks Brown...why does it seem like it's getting dark again?
"Mike, why are you getting dark again?"
"Oh, I'm on vacation at the front end and I'm sunbathing!"
Brown was already dark enough, and it was so dark that it was sad to be sunbathed.
Li Liang thought, who said black people cannot tan? There is no darkest, only darker.
The two of them exchanged greetings and their relationship was as harmonious as before.
At the dinner table, Brown praised Zhu Shu's cooking skills.
To be honest, Americans are not used to the real Chinese taste.
In order to take care of the Brown family's eating habits, Zhu Shu made Chinese food, but the taste was more Western and suitable for Americans.
Li Liangyou thought that if he retired in the future, he would take Zhu Shu to open a restaurant.
Isn’t it beautiful to open the door if you want to open the door if you want to open the door if you want to close the door if you watch TV and do exercise?
While having dinner, Li Liang and Brown inevitably talked about basketball.
Brown's reaction to Li Liang's trip to the Clippers was as always supported.
"I support you, Bruce, I support you from the beginning, but I know that I am a very opinionated person and you will definitely make your own decisions. The Clippers are a team that can only make you more valuable, and it is very suitable for you. I think you made a good decision."
After a while, Li Liang did not expect that Brown still supported him so much.
After making this decision, there were all kinds of statements in the public opinion circle and people around him.
Although many people expressed respect for Li Liang's decision and thanked him for his contribution to the Lakers, Li Liang knew that most people hoped that he could stay in the Lakers and believed that staying in the Lakers was a better choice.
Only Mike Brown said clearly that the Clippers are the better choice.
Indeed, putting aside feelings and history, just from the team lineup, the Clippers actually need Li Liang more, and Li Liang can also play a greater value in the Clippers.
When Li Liang chose the Clippers, he also had this consideration in addition to the book of Angel City.
If the Clippers' lineup is too poor, or there are too many players overlapping at the same position, Li Liang might as well stay with the Lakers to continue leveling.
It was precisely because of the shortage of the Clippers' forward line that Li Liang chose them in a comprehensive way.
Unexpectedly, Mike Brown knew him.
Li Liang couldn't help but say: "Mike, why don't you come to the Clippers as the head coach?"
Brown smiled and said, "The Clippers already have Coach Rivers, he was appointed by Paul."
Li Liang said: "What's so great about Paul's designation? I'll designate you!"
"I'm the Lakers head coach."
"Don't worry, I think you won't be able to lose more games at your level."
Mike Brown is full of black lines. Is there anyone who curses me like this?
Li Liang thought this was a good idea and said, "Mike, if you are fired, come to the Clippers and be an assistant coach."
Brown nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll lend you a good word."
Brown thought, after all, I was the best coach and champion coach, was it so easy to be fired?
After eating this meal, Li Liang's conviction was finally solved.
And he also prayed that the Lakers would lose after the start of the new season and kept losing.
At that time, Brown will definitely take the blame. Brown will come to the Clippers after class and let him come to the Clippers, and there will be one more little brother... No, wouldn’t it be nice to have another coach who is familiar with him?
Thinking of this, after seeing Mike Brown away, Li Liang felt in a good mood.
He even helped Zhu Shu clean up the dishes, wash dishes, wipe the table, etc.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Zhu Shu said, "Li Liang, well, there is something I want to tell you."
"Yeah, you said."
"A lot of people have contacted me recently and invited you to participate in commercial activities."
"Oh, I know, I've told you that I refuse, I don't like it."
After Li Liang became famous, various business invitations were continuously launched.
Advertising, interviews, large events, talk shows, commercial performances.
Li Liang is not very interested in these things, he is not short of money anyway.
When he returned to his hometown, his father Gan Guoqing told him that his family's tractor business was well underway in the United States and his assets increased by more than 30%.
This increase made Li Liang feel that it was meaningless to make money by himself.
Besides, Li Liang doesn’t like those activities and brands.
At least you have to endorse Mercedes-Benz like Lao Ke?
It is only possible to be a big brand with a renowned international brand, but he is not interested in small brands.
Zhu Shu said: "Well, this time it was Kevin Planck who asked me. He said that I want to arrange for you to participate in a training camp and be a lobbyist."
"Lobbyist? What lobbyist?"
"Underma's brand lobbyist, they want to sign Stephen Curry and want you to do a favor."
It turned out that Curry and Nike's contract expired, and the next contract was being discussed in the summer.
Under Armour, who tasted the sweetness from Li Liang, has set his sights on Curry's potential stock again.
However, to compete with Nike, they need the top players to help themselves.
"Hey, you said it earlier, okay, let's arrange it, I'll go and educate that fool."
Li Liang agreed readily.
