Chapter 586 Another bomb

On the morning of August 2, everything was settled.

The Pacers officially announced on the entire network that they will use Paul George to add Massimmi to trade for Li Liang and Waiters of the Cavaliers - the Pacers also have a future second-round draft pick.

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

I will release an autobiography after retiring from the service. This history can definitely be written out in a big way.

The entire public opinion and the fan circle were in an uproar.

Unexpectedly, the transaction actually took shape.

One dares to buy and the other dares to sell.

A v fell from the sky when the Knight said it would sell.

The Pacers's new future star was signed, so they could change it.

Of course, the luckiest one is the Cavaliers. They have gotten a Li Liang for nothing, and they won’t lose money if they replace George. On the contrary, George and James make this combination feel more reasonable.

Griffin and Gilbert were both dreaming that they wanted to wake up from laughing, and they really wanted to put Li Liang's photos in the office to provide them.

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

"You left Bruce Lee in the East or in the Pacers, then it would be useless for the Cavaliers to form any lineup."

This is what journalist Stephen Smith said about the Cavaliers trade.

The Western teams are still laughing. The Western teams are already fierce in competition, so it is great to send Li Liang to the East.

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

If Li Liang is not in the order, he can definitely get a high-quality player, such as Paul George.

Li Liang is also sorry for this. He called Ballmer after the transaction 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 honor he brought to the Clippers, and saying that he was considering whether to buy the Pacers.

The Pacers made a very risky deal because George signed a five-year contract, and Li Liang was likely to be only one year on one team.

Pacers are not the places that superstars like to go.

Larry Bird also made a desperate bet. From the 1990s, Reggie Miller, to O'Neal Jr., and now George West, Pacers have been in 20 years, with three ups and downs, just a little bit away from their peak.

He failed many times in the Eastern Conference Finals and lost in the finals once.

Bird thought to himself that he would win the championship in 2015. If he couldn't win, he could not keep Li Liang. At worst, he could rebuild again, or he might as well stop being the general manager.

He no longer has any obsession with basketball, and he has got everything he deserves.

And from a business perspective, the Pacers finally have a superstar coming, and the fans of Yincun can be said to be extremely excited. It can be imagined that the Pacers' home court will be full in the new season.

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

The vast open cornfield and simple rural life here make the people love sports, basketball, racing, and rugby. There are fanatical believers here.

Among them, Indianapolis, located in the heart of Indo-South, is a sports city built by the whole state. There are 5 highways across the United States and 4 interstate highways passing through. The population of 60 in the United States can be reached in Indianapolis in one day.

The city has a large number of sports venue facilities, developed hotels and catering service systems, which can be used by sports enthusiasts across the United States to come and watch or participate in various sports activities in person.

The news of Li Liang's successful transaction made the whole city excited.

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

Li Liang fulfilled the wishes of the fans. He arrived in Indiana on August 2, completed the physical examination, and attended a press conference with Bird.

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

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

Especially NCAA, Indiana has contributed important talents to the United States. Bob Knight was the head coach of Indiana University back then.

Of course, Bird is pride of Indiana basketball.

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

It’s a pity that they always lack a little at the top basketball level.

Li Liang can bring it to them.

After the meeting, Bird planned to take Li Liang to visit the team's headquarters and then take him to see the residence arranged by the team for him.

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

Bird said, "Oh, don't worry, I don't want to stimulate the fans' nerves twice in a day. I need some time to prepare."

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

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

"Or I'll scold you."

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

Bird was unmoved at all when facing Li Liang's "threat".

Li Liang didn't say much, and he would let you know what "swearing" is.

Don’t say that you, Larry Bird, aren’t afraid of Coach Bob Knight, who was playing basketball at Indiana University, and was scolded and couldn’t continue to beat him, and finally dropped out of school and slipped home?

With each thought, Bird took Li Liang to the residence arranged by the team, a luxurious apartment in downtown Indianapolis.

This is an industry of Herbert Simon, the owner of the walker. It has a very good geographical location, very convenient transportation and life in all aspects. It is located on the top floor, with up and down floors, and you can watch the stars at night from the rooftop.

Indianapolis began industrial transformation in the 1980s, and from industry to sports, the air in the city was very good.

This is not New York or Los Angeles, and it is not brightly lit. It can be said to be a good place to live.

Li Liang and Zhu Shu were both satisfied with the residence. Bird also said that he had hired a Chinese chef for Li Liang and could help Li Liang cook every day.

The apartment has special maids to clean and handle various housekeeping affairs, so there is no need to worry about life at all.

The Pacers are better than the Knights. The Knights are all focused on James' home, and in Indiana, Li Liang is the new center.

The NBA Alliance and Xiao Hua are also happy to see this.

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

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

It would be nice to let him stay in Dayin Village.

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

And they all began to look forward to the arrival of the new season.

However, the news about the Walkers did not end there.

Just one week after the deal was completed, Larry Bird held another press conference to announce a "news on personal position changes."

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

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