Chapter 912 Gives too much
What are the rules of Li Liang’s NBA career in the past four years?
In general, there are three major rules:
First, the teams are different every year.
Second, you can win championships every year on different teams.
Third, there is the same coach on different teams every year - Mike Brown.
Since the Los Angeles Lakers, the two have formed an indissoluble bond.
Mike Brown's coach's fate has also been rewritten since then and he began to wander with Li Liang.
For this reason, Mike Brown began to be opposed by his family.
After leaving the Clippers, his child had to transfer schools with his father everywhere.
I went to Indiana and then to Oxford again. Every time I left a city, it means that I finally got used to the life and the social circle I finally began to integrate into. It is indeed a kind of harm to my children.
In the fifth year, after Li Liang was sure to leave Ok City again and go to a new place, Mike Brown's wife hoped that her husband would not migrate with him.
"You might as well marry Bruce Lee." The wife even said annoyed.
Mike Brown thought, but unfortunately there was no such opportunity.
During the offseason, Mike Brown participated in several training camps, training with the stars while learning new coaching knowledge.
For anyone working in basketball, learning is endless.
In this highly competitive league, new changes will appear every season.
If you stay in the glory and achievements of the past, you will soon become a stepping stone for others.
While charging himself, Brown also pays attention to the progress of the Olympics.
He was originally invited to join the coaching staff of the US national team, but after weighing it, Brown refused.
The coaching staff participating in the Olympics is too busy, so he still needs to spend more time with his family.
Li Liang's performance in the Olympic runner-up surprised Brown and felt it was normal.
This guy is really too strong.
After watching his Olympic Games, Brown confirmed that Li Liang was still improving.
It's really terrible.
Brown is not very concerned about which team Li Liang will go to in the future.
His contract with the Thunder is only one year. Since June, as soon as the finals ended, many teams have contacted Brown and hoped that he will go.
Some teams hope that Brown can bring new changes to the team.
Some people hope to use Brown as a bait to attract Li Liang.
Some of them require Brown's experience to deal with Li Liang.
Brown refused one by one, and the targets they rejected included powerful teams such as the Cavaliers, Lakers, and Warriors.
He was waiting for the man's call.
Even if his family opposed it, he could not resist that temptation - the development plan of the strongest player in history.
On August 22, news of James joining the Warriors came, which surprised Brown.
He did not expect that the arrogant little emperor had been tortured by the consecutive runner-up and embarked on the most difficult road.
The title of the thousand-year-old second is really too uncomfortable for people to suppress.
Kobe is right, the runner-up is the biggest loser.
Since James went to the Warriors, it would be impossible for Li Liang to go to Oakland.
Brown really hopes that Li Liang will go to the Bay Area where he lives and works in a very good way.
Unfortunately, Li Liang did not.
Brown is ready to go to something remote and remote.
As a result, on August 23, Brown received a call from Li Liang.
Few people know Li Liang’s mobile phone number, and only the best friends around him have his mobile phone number.
When Brown saw Li Liang calling, he knew in his heart that there must be a place to go!
He hurriedly answered the phone.
"Hi Mike, I've found a new job."
"Congratulations to Bruce, then I have a new job, too."
"Yes, new jobs, in California, Sacramento."
"Sacramento? God, you've walked the hardest road."
"Yes, it's very difficult. I hope we have a happy new season. We will come to Sacramento tomorrow. We need to discuss some things, and your contract. I have already passed the wrath with Divac and will give you a generous treatment."
The two have worked together for many years, and there is no need to say much polite words.
Brown's heart was filled with joy. He did not even discuss with his family, but directly informed them of the news.
After a quarrel, Brown told his wife that he would stay in Sacramento for at least three years this time and he would not have to worry about changing places all the time.
The wife then stopped and agreed to her husband go to work in Sacramento.
On August 24, Brown was excited to take a plane to Sacramento to report, and Li Liang and Divac drove to the airport to pick up Brown.
However, in the car, Brown heard a shocking news that he was invited to the King this time, not as the head coach, but as the assistant coach.
"What? Another assistant coach? I've been an assistant coach for three years."
After leaving the Lakers, Mike Brown has served as assistant coaches in the Clippers, Pacers and Thunder.
Although he won many championships, it still had some impact on him from being a champion coach to being an assistant coach.
At least, his son couldn't always see him during live TV. The TV station didn't give the assistant coach much.
Upon hearing this news, Mike Brown felt a little dissatisfied.
Because as far as he knows, the Kings have never hired a new head coach.
He thought it was finally time for him to make great achievements, but he didn't know that he was still an assistant coach.
He looked at Li Liang and said, "Bruce, you didn't tell me that he was an assistant coach before coming. Actually, I can be the head coach."
Li Liang said: "Yes, I know you have this ability Mike, but the King already has a head coach, and it is very compatible with you."
"Who? Lu? Why is he?" Tyron Lu also ended his career as an assistant coach at the Cavaliers after the finals.
Mike Brown thought the Kings had Lu as head coach, and he worked as an assistant coach in the Clippers with Mike Brown.
The Cavaliers will launch new reconstruction plans with Irving and George as the core.
Li Liang shook his head and said, "Liu is the team's assistant coach, and D'Antoni, just like you."
Mike Brown was surprised.
Tyron Lou and D'Antoni are both people who can be head coaches in the league.
Especially D'Antoni, once the best coach, worked as an assistant coach in Philadelphia for a while last season.
It is said that in June, the Houston Rockets invited him to serve as head coach.
But after some trade-offs, D'Antoni gave up, mainly because he believed that the Rockets had Dwight Howard, which did not match his playing style.
Unexpectedly, he actually accepted the invitation from the Kings assistant coach?
Unbelievable, who is the Kings' new head coach, making D'Antoni willing to be an assistant coach?
"Who is the head coach? Could it be... Phil?"
Mike Brown thought of Phil Jackson, and there have been rumors outside that Phil Jackson wanted to withdraw from the mud pit in New York and take the lead again.
It feels like Phil Jackson is so proud that he can let Lou and D'Antoni be his assistant coach so quickly.
Unexpectedly, Li Liang shook his head and said, "Phil is no longer able to do it. He is already from the previous era. The new head coach is a brand new, rising newcomer who will surely shine in the coaching industry! That person is, me, Bruce Lee!"
Mike Brown was shocked. Li Liang even had to do the coaching job?
But it’s normal to think about it. As a player, he may really be desireless.
Only by being a coach can he satisfy his desire to control.
"So...so you're coaching, how did you recruit Lou and D'Antoni? Do they know? They just agreed?"
Divac answered Mike Brown's question, "They agreed because...we gave too much."
"How much?" Brown asked.
Divac made a gesture to Mike Brown and told him how much his salary would be after coming to Sacramento.
Brown pushed his glasses and said, "I'm happy to be an assistant coach. I've done a great job in the past three years and won three championships. I think I'm qualified. It's not for money, I just want to work with Bruce Lee."
