Chapter Nine hundred and Thirteenth God
On August 25, the news that Li Liang joined the King was once again announced through Wei Dazhi's Twitter account.
Wei Dazhi was very conscious this time and did not call Li Liang every day to ask about his new boss' intentions.
Because he knew that Li Liang would notify him after he confirmed his next home.
As one of the most famous media people in Los Angeles, after receiving the news that Li Liang joined the King, he immediately planned and arranged several TV programs to report on this topic.
We also organize espn reporters, writers, write special topics and conduct long reports.
He is no longer the young reporter who used to write small news and forward league gossip news, but a well-known media person and sports TV program producer who is on par with OJ and even higher than his head.
Because this time Li Liang made it clear that he would not only stay in the king for one more year.
He signed a new four-year contract of 100 million yuan with the Kings! The fourth year is the player option.
This is the first contract Li Liang signed after entering the league. Although he joined as a free agent, his salary cap increased by more than 20 million this summer, and the Kings had sufficient salary space, so he easily gave Li Liang a maximum salary of 10 million yuan.
For Li Liang, he was able to get a contract of 100 million because the labor-management agreement only allowed him to get a contract of 100 million.
With Li Liang's level, 200 million is about the same in four years. The extra money, Ranadave chose to supplement Li Liang's assistant coach.
The three assistants, Mike Brown, D'Antoni and Tyron Lue.
After announcing the news that Li Liang signed the king, the second news immediately sparked public opinion.
The Kings hired Li Liang as the head coach of the Kings!
And the list of the teaching assistant team has been announced.
For a moment, the entire league talked a lot.
Li Liang is unwilling to be just one player, he even wants to do it for the coach?
Two super big melons in a row, the first thing that James had occupied for a few days was completely suppressed.
At this moment, unless someone is shot to death in the United States, it is difficult to have an incident that can overcome these two news popularity in a short period of time.
Li Liang led the Chinese team to the Olympic finals before, which has already made him popular to a high level.
Fortunately, the US team withstood the pressure and won the championship, otherwise American basketball would have lost all its face.
Although Li Liang's joining the King this time is a big news, everyone gradually gets used to it once a year.
But Li Liang became the king's coach and it was really a big girl who got into the sedan chair.
The league hasn't produced a part-time coaching player for a long time.
Although some players have the ability to understand tactically as long as they are not inferior to their coaches, the coach's workload makes it difficult for players to serve on the part-time job.
Unless, you have a good assistant coach to help!
It can be seen from the candidates for assistant coaches announced by the King that each of the three people is a candidate who can stand on their own.
This assistant group configuration is obviously prepared to satisfy Bruce Lee's coach Meng'er.
I can only say that in order to get Li Liang, the king tried his best to meet all his requirements.
There is no way, this team has been declining for too long.
The last time they entered the playoffs dates back to 2006 10 years ago.
That year Divac retired and Chris Webber was traded to 76ers.
The core of the team became Artest. Two years later, Mike Bibby went to the Hawks, Brad Miller returned to the Bulls, Artay was traded to the Rockets, and the gorgeous King never came back.
This is a team with a very lack of history.
In that old era in the 1950s, he won a championship that was not remembered at all.
At that time, the NBA was just a regional league and had no current status in the basketball world.
In the 1960s, there was a genius like Oscar Robertson, but because of the inexplicable rules of the east and west part, he was divided into the east, so he lived forever in the shadow of the Celtics.
After 70, 80, 90, and NBA gradually heading towards glory, the king was always a supporting role.
Yes, they are not even a supporting role that sets off the protagonist, they are just supporting roles.
In the 21st century, after a brief glory almost robbed the show and became the protagonist, he returned to the position of supporting role.
Now, with the investment of Indian tycoons, luck has finally come.
The news that Li Liang moved in and was going to be a coach suddenly broke through the sports circle and became out of the circle.
Major programs across the United States are using this topic as the entry point to discuss this miracle in the sports world, and how many surprises will be created.
The United States has thus launched a big discussion on "Why is Bruce Lee so successful".
Espn created a special program called "How the King Becomes a King", using documentaries, talk shows, debates and other forms to discuss and explore this issue.
Behind this was Wei Dazhi who was the producer at that time.
This is an important part of the "Li Liang's God-making Movement".
How were gods born?
On the one hand, the performance of the arena depends on how the media promoters praise it.
In this regard, American sports media people have always been masters of god creation.
Besides, Li Liang can make too many things. He made a documentary and felt that the amount of 180 minutes in three episodes was not enough. In the end, each episode was added for half an hour, and the total amount was added to 270 minutes.
Fans who love gossip and bragging have new materials to brag.
...
No matter what the trouble is outside, Li Liang is always much calmer.
This is also the reason why he has always maintained a high level and a good attitude all year round.
I am the eye of a storm, but I will not be involved in the storm.
After announcing the signing of the King and becoming the King's head coach, he became more busy.
If he is a player, he can wait until October to attend the team training camp and start preparing for the new season.
But since he has become a coach, he has to participate in the team's management work.
Li Liang is a novice in these things and needs to learn a lot of things from scratch.
Being a coach is not like in a game or in a mission, just stopping on the sidelines, telling the players about tactics and changing people.
One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage.
This sentence is the same for players and coaches.
Without sufficient preparation before the game and strict training, I would cram the game and rely on the command of the divine strokes, which is basically a dream.
The Kings are a young team. Li Liang has a high prestige as a player, but it is still unknown whether he can convince the public as a coach.
For Li Liang himself, how to distribute his energy will also be a big problem.
In the past, he could train to be late, or even not go, and do tasks at home.
It will definitely not work after becoming a coach.
Of course there are also benefits, and the most significant benefit is economic benefits.
He is now getting two contracts, one player contract and one coach contract.
Anyway, the Indian boss has money, so he can afford it.
Moreover, Li Liang has not played a game for the Kings and has already started to make money for the boss.
The day after he announced his joining the King, the stock price of the company under Ranasel rose sharply!
The benefits brought by rising stock prices are more than enough to smooth out the salary paid to Li Liang for four years.
Whoever does this money-making business knows.
On August 31, the last day of August, Li Liang officially signed a player and head coach contract with the team at the Kings headquarters.
A four-year contract of 100 million yuan.
With this contract signed, Li Liang can finally say to his father and sister, "I can also sign a large contract of 100 million yuan!"
There is also a one-year head coach contract, the only one for league players.
After Li Liang signed the contract, the subtitles suddenly flashed in front of him:
Chapter completed!
