The plane landed at Sachmento Airport in more than half an hour.

Divac drove to the airport to pick up people.

This Serbian bearded center has an inexplicable relationship with California.

His career began with the Lakers and was brilliant to the Kings. He once replaced Kobe alone, and finally ended his career with the Lakers.

Last year, the king's meritorious veteran became the king's general manager and began to build a youth army from scratch.

Li Liang's arrival disrupted his established plan, but made him extremely excited.

The arrival of Bruce Lee is stronger than all the established plans.

After seeing Li Liang, Divac stepped forward and shook hands with him vigorously. This was the meeting ceremony for a socialist country.

Divac has already arranged everything.

Accommodation, dinner, and visiting the King's headquarters, etc.

He arranged it very thoughtfully, and the group first went to the Kings new headquarters at the InterContinental Kimpton Hotel.

This is part of the "Downtown Community" built by the city of Sacramento.

The planning center brings retail, residence, hotel and entertainment together.

The center of this community is the Kings' new arena "Golden One".

Around Golden One Arena, various living and entertainment facilities have been built nearby, everything is new and has just been put into use this summer.

This new atmosphere gives people a very good feeling.

Afterwards, the group went to the team's training center, which was still a brand new venue facility, a high-tech spa, and a professional health team.

Because Li Liang's visit was very sudden, the Kings' preparations were not particularly sufficient.

But Li Liang didn't care about this.

In Divac's office, Li Liang, Ranadave, Divac sat down and discussed seriously.

Ranadave told Divac Li Liang's conditions, "Bruce wants to be the Kings coach, our coach has not yet been confirmed?"

Ranadave is not tall and looks thin and small Indian. He is shorter than his daughter.

But his eyes were firm, his Indian accent was light, and his words were concise and in place, so he felt comfortable talking to him.

When Divac heard the boss's words, he was obviously stunned. Li Liang actually wanted to be a coach?

To be honest, Divac never thought of this requirement.

Yes, who could have thought of it?

Don’t be a good player, but you still want to be a coach?

Is this to support my family? Do you have to work part-time if you think you have too little money?

The hard work and pressure of the coach is unimaginable to ordinary people - of course, except for Li Liang's coach.

Divac really couldn't figure out why Li Liang made such a request.

"Answer me, do we have a coach?" Ranadave asked again, feeling a little impatient.

He agreed on the plane. For him, Li Liang, let alone being a coach, you just want to be the general manager, and he can quit Divac now.

A capitalist does not care about how the business is run or how the position is arranged. He only cares about whether the capital will increase value.

As long as Li Liang can come, it is inevitable that his performance will improve, and the team's market value will definitely increase and the market will be popular.

So for Ranadave, this condition is nothing.

Divac is different. He considers the issue more from a basketball perspective, and Li Liang's condition is unheard of.

In NBA history, there are not just some successful players and coaches, and Bill Russell is needless to say, as well as Lanny Wilkens and Dave Debschel (this is not considered successful).

However, after the 1980s, players and coaches disappeared in the league.

After all, coaches are becoming more and more professional, and not everyone can do it as a part-time job.

The players' energy is also limited, so they are assigned to coaching positions. What should I do when I train normally?

Not to mention that the players are not convinced by each other. You can be a teammate or a boss, but you have to do it for the coach?

Why don't you go to heaven?

But Li Liang is different. He can really go to heaven.

He has won four consecutive championships, two regular season MVPs and four finals MVPs. He retires now and is among the top ten in history.

What's more, he is only 26 years old now, and he is in his year of fighting and still has room for improvement.

It is always a treasure that is placed on any team.

What's wrong with being a coach?

Divac quickly figured out this truth.

Isn't it just a coach? It just so happens that the candidate for the new head coach of the Kings has not been confirmed yet.

Previously, the King invited the famous coach George Carl to take charge of the team.

As a result, the famous coach did not get along well with the king's young man.

Especially Cousins, the Kings' star, when the Kings wanted to invite Carl to coach, Cousins ​​and his team did not welcome Carl very much.

Because Carl's tactical style has always been to despise stars, pay attention to the team, and like to play fast attacks.

His relationship with the stars has always been not very good.

The Bucks and Ray Allen had a feud, and the Nuggets had a conflict with Anthony again.

But the king still believes that the young king needs an old-school coach to put it under pressure.

After all, Carl is famous and although he has never won the championship, it is quite easy to enter the playoffs. He is one of the few coaches in the league who have won thousands of wins.

But Carl, who has suffered from cancer, is no longer young and strong.

After coming to the king, he did not integrate the young team well. On the contrary, he had some conflicts with the irritable Cousins.

George Carl was fired after the Kings missed the playoffs again in the 2016 season.

After that, Divac began to look for the head coach for the new season.

Before Li Liang put forward the conditions, his eyes were fixed on former Grizzlies head coach Joe Geer.

Jogel's training in the Grizzlies in the past few years is obvious to all, but with the current lineup of the Grizzlies, their potential has been tapped out and has arrived at the ascending ceiling.

After failing in the first round of the playoffs this year, the Grizzlies announced that they had fired Jogel as head coach.

Divac quickly contacted Jogel, but Jogel did not immediately accept Divac's invitation.

This matter was temporarily delayed until August.

Recently, Jogel has been discussing the details of the contract with the king and is ready to accept it.

But I knew that Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.

Moreover, this Cheng Yaojin is not an ordinary Cheng Yaojin, but a real demon king.

Divac, Ranadave and Li Liang reached an agreement in the office.

Li Liang will serve as the new head coach of the Kings and will also sign a four-year maximum salary contract with the Kings.

This time, Li Liang was not planning to sign a short contract again and get a small salary.

At the same time, in order not to leave any excuses for the league, the king also had to offer Li Liang a coach contract.

However, the deadline is only one year, and Li Liang also wants to see if he can be the head coach.

After the oral agreement was soon reached, both Divac and Ranadave breathed a sigh of relief.

This big fish just fell into his net pocket.

Moreover, I have to stay here for at least three years.

Ranadave can't wait to announce the news to the outside world.

It's really fun and exciting to think that once this news comes out, the market value of the King and the company's stock price will rise.

And Divac was still thinking about basketball.

He asked Li Liang, "Who do the assistant coach needs to hire?"

Divac believes that although Li Liang is the head coach, he actually needs to do many jobs with assistant coaches.

Therefore, the position of assistant coach will be very critical.

Li Liang smiled and said, "I think you should know the candidate for this position."
Chapter completed!
