Chapter 38 The Coach's Misunderstanding

Li Liangren arrived at the Washington Capital Airport at night.

When I got off the plane and turned on my phone, I received several messages.

One was sent by Kalipari, informing Li Liang of the address of the hotel.

One was sent by Wei Dazhi, reminding Li Liang to take a few photos in the White House and send them to him, and he wanted to post news online.

Another one was sent by Zhu Shu. She said Ryan West contacted her in the afternoon and told her that the trial was scheduled on May 24th.

She will arrive in Los Angeles before this to learn how to handle player affairs.

It seems that Zhu Shu and Wei Dazhi both entered the role very quickly, and Li Liang's heart is much more stable.

What will happen next depends on his trial training performance on the 24th, and he must do his best.

According to the address sent by Kalipari, Li Liang took a taxi to the hotel he stayed at.

The hotel is not far from the White House, and other teammates have arrived. They are going to visit the White House tomorrow morning to meet with the president.

After Li Liang arrived, the Kentucky Wildcats were all here, and this will be the last group activity of the Wildcats.

In the hotel lobby, the whole team took a photo to memorize.

At present, 6 players from the team have announced that they will participate in the 2012 NBA Draft, and a lottery draw will be held in 10 days.

Kalipari is still very confident about his disciples. Needless to say, Davis and Maikegee, the remaining few people have hope of entering the first round.

As for Li Liang... senior graduates like Li Liang, regardless of whether you announce it or not, they will automatically be on the NBA shortlist.

You are just a person who has never played basketball. When you get old, you can fill out the form on the NBA website and you can enter the shortlist.

But no one will choose you.

In Kalipari's view, Li Liang is a guy who automatically enters the shortlist, but no one will choose.

He heard Max say yesterday that Li Liang, a kid, had only participated in the training camp for one morning and then quit.

Maybe he realized the gap between himself and his real NBA competitors.

It would be nice to give up early. Today, seeing this kid's expression, he kept frowning and was worried.

After taking the photo, Kalipari pulled Li Liang to the hotel bar. He wanted to invite Li Liang to have a drink and comfort him.

Li Liang felt a little strange, why did Calipari invite him to have a drink?

Did he forget that he had been drinking too much at a country club and ran to the stage to dance with a steel pipe in his arms?

Li Liang followed Kalipari to the bar. Kalipari ordered two beer, and the two of them drank a glass first.

After drinking, Lao Ka's face turned slightly red.

It has been more than a month since the championship, but the afterglow of the NCAA champion has not yet dissipated.

As long as the new season does not begin, all kinds of honors, speeches and activities will come one after another.

He is now at the peak of his life and wants to lean over and comfort the hardest but worst student he has taught.

He wanted to tell Li Liang that life is greater than basketball, and he has a lot to do besides basketball.

But he hasn't figured out how to speak yet.

Li Liang was holding the [Ball Blind Detector] and was having a lot of fun taking photos at his coach there. This review is quite long.

[Ball blind index is 15.321%. A basketball master with absolutely rich tactical knowledge and player potential exploration ability. If he is called ball blind, then everyone in this world is ball blind. However, just as gold has impurities, no matter how good the basketball master is, he will expose the essence of ball blind. His treatment of players' psychology, especially complex psychology, sometimes looks similar to blind people. A person who cannot control people's hearts cannot understand the core essence of basketball because it is a team sport.]

Li Liang felt that this ball blind detector was really interesting. Although it was only for entertainment, it was really hard to get rid of the sword.

Calipari coached in the NBA back then, but did not teach any good results because he could not control those professional players.

When he arrives at university, the students and children will have more control, and soon he will be able to perform his best and produce good players one after another.

Seeing Li Liang smiling, Kalipari wondered if the boy was thinking about it, so he said, "Hey, how about it? Have some wine and get together with his teammates. Are you feeling better?"

Li Liang said: "Ah? Oh, yes, I feel much more relaxed."

Along the way, Li Liang was thinking about how to complete the task of [Catching Artest's Shock].

After thinking for a long time, he had a little idea and was going to try it tonight.

Now that Old Ka is pulling him to drink, he is embarrassed to bring it back to sleep.

It seems that Lao Ka wants to talk to him. Could it be that he is still worried about the video?

Since understanding Kalipari's good intentions, Li Liang decided that he would never leak that video and just treat it as a memory of youth and preserve it.

Kalipari said: "Li, you have to look forward to many things, and some things in the past will pass. Everyone has time to get drunk and will choose the wrong way. It is always good to be able to look back in time."

Li Liang nodded and said, "You are right, but the past must always leave a little memory. When I look back on the past, I can detect the traces left by time."

The two of them accidentally entered the literary mode while drinking wine. The preface was inconsistent, and no one knew what the other party was saying.

Kalipari is a sportsman after all, and he can't help but speak out loud.

He finished drinking the wine in the glass, patted Li Liang on the shoulder, and said, "If you need to work in basketball, you can find me. The Memphis University basketball team has been recruiting assistant video editors recently. I think you should have watched a lot of games..."

Kalipari's words almost made Li Liang squirt out a sip of wine.

OK, you old card, what does "I think you should have watched a lot of games" mean?

Didn’t I sit on the bench for four years? Did I sit on it because I wanted to watch the game? Isn’t it because you didn’t let me play and insist on watching the game?

You old man is so bad!

Li Liang swallowed the beer and said, "Coach, I think you must have had some misunderstandings about me. I don't need to be a video editor."

"Oh, I remember, your family is very rich. What can you sell... Is it right to sell tractors?"

Li Liang was angry, why did even Calipari know that my family sells tractors?

Li Liang understood that he had come over, and Calipari must have known that he had withdrawn from training camp because he gave up his NBA dream because he was stage frightened.

That's why I came to comfort myself and introduced myself to my job.

Li Liang explained: "Coach, I will not give up my NBA dream, and I am already on the road to realizing my dream. I will only tell you one person, you are not allowed to tell others... I have obtained the Lakers' trial qualification."

Kalipari looked at Li Liang, patted his shoulder again, and said, "Dream is not a dream, Bruce..."

Li Liang was about to explode, and he almost decided to post Calipari's striptease video to Facebook, and his reason made him hold back.

After explaining for a while, talking about the dialogue and conditions between him and Ryan West, Calipari believed that his water dispenser, the worst student he had ever brought, actually got the NBA team's trial opportunity?

You know, at this time, the first round lottery was not released, and many super newcomers did not receive the trial training notice.

What kind of talent does Li Liang have with a water dispenser? In half a day, the Lakers scouts attracted attention?

Kalipari began to doubt his vision. Could it be that three years of time, a piece of uncensored jade was ruined by himself in the corner?

This time it was Li Liang's turn to pat Kalipari on the shoulder and said, "There are always times when you have a look at it in life. How can you always have the right path? It doesn't matter if you take some detours, just correct them in time."

Calipari shook his head, the boy was still arrogant.

However, Li Liang has always had this personality, and is not too big or too small than familiar people.

After spending more than three years together, his relationship with Lao Ka has become very deep.

Although an absolute genius like Anthony Davis helped Calipari win the highest honor.

But they just went to NCAA to plaster a gold plate.

It is best if the plate is successful, but if the failure is not successful, people will not stay too much and jump into the NBA directly.

Only the water dispenser sitting next to the coach every day, always with him, and also serve him tea and water from time to time.

This time, Li Liang graduated this year, and Kalipari would not get used to it in the future.

Thinking of this, Caliparilo felt sad.

But if Li Liang can enter the NBA, it would be a miracle.

He poured a glass of wine and toasted Li Liang, wishing him a successful trial.

After drinking, Li Liang returned to the room. He was still sleeping with Terence Jones tonight.

Jones is a sophomore this year, but he no longer needs to attend classes after announcing his participation in the draft.

After Jones announced his participation in the draft with Davis and Lamb and other teammates, he signed agent Thaddeus Fauchell.

With an agent, he doesn't have to worry about anything now, so he just waits for the trial notice.

Although it is not a popular rookie, Jones's strength and Kentucky's bonus are very likely to be selected in the first round.

Several teams have already been optimistic about him, and he has frequently appeared on the list in various basketball magazines and websites.

So, now he doesn't have to worry about being rejected by women, and he is heading towards the climax of his life.

When seeing Li Liang, Jones expressed his cordial greetings and sincere condolences to Li Liang with a sense of superiority as a person about to enter the basketball hall.

Li Liang knew that Jones had no malice, so he didn't care about him.
