Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

After signing the coaching contract, Li Liang became a real NBA head coach and is currently the only player in the league who is a part-time coach.

Li Liang automatically ignored the system's prompt.

As for the achievement system, I guess it started from scratch, and every time I complete an achievement as a coach, I will give myself a little reward.

As for what the reward is, Li Liang is not very concerned for the time being. He has many other more important things to worry about.

Unlike being a player in the past, being a coach requires knowing more about the operation of the team.

In particular, it is necessary to communicate more with the general manager Divac.

Because the King's signings this summer are still in progress.

In fact, before Li Liang's new team was determined, the free market was basically in a stagnant state.

This year's salary cap has risen sharply, which can be said to be a feast for players and agents.

But the biggest fish doesn't belong, so the teams dare not open contracts indiscriminately.

As soon as the free market opened in July, apart from the signing news of some home team renewals, there was no movement in the completely free agent market.

Almost everyone in the league is paying attention to the Olympics and watching Li Liang lead the Chinese team to compete.

As soon as the Olympics were over, they frantically inquired about Li Liang's news.

Fortunately, Li Liang didn't make everyone wait too long, otherwise many players and agents would get angry because they really waited.

After the dust settled on Li Liang's ownership, the free market suddenly became active in August, a full month later than in previous years.

The remaining 29 teams started waving checks and writing contracts to the lucky ones whose contracts expired this year.

Taken by the Hornet is one of them.

After the Warriors owned James, Batum tested the free market.

As a result, the Hornets got Batum a four-year 95 million contract.

This contract is only 5 million less than Li Liang.

But the gap between Li Liang and Batum is only 5 million?

Oh, Batum can say, I beat Li Liang in the Olympics.

After all, the Chinese team lost to the French team in the group stage.

Batum's contract is a microcosm, and the rest include Bazemore's 70 million and Joakim Noah's 75 million. These contract amounts were placed five years ago, and ten years ago, they were only matched by top stars. own.

But now, it almost makes people think that the annual salary of 20 million is the price of cabbage, and ordinary stars can get 30 million.

For the king, this is not good news.

Because after winning Li Liang, they still have about 10 million salary space.

In the free market in the past, it is safe to win a quasi-all-star player with considerable strength.

But with the crazy situation of this year's free market, it is difficult for some Mesozoic players with a little bit of strength to come to the Kings.

Although they can win the championship together with Li Liang, for most players, money is more important.

A contract of tens of millions and a championship, of course the contract is chosen.

Therefore, if the king wants to sign in, the biggest bargaining chip is Li Liang.

Relying on Li Liang's attractiveness, he recruited veterans who wanted to win the championship.

This is also the traditional routine of the NBA.

Divac explained the signing plan to Li Liang. Their number one signing target in August is Nets guard Temple.

The Kings can get Temple with an 8 million contract.

But this proposal was quickly rejected by Li Liang.

I have an impression of Temple Li Liang, who lost the draft and gained a foothold in the NBA through hard work.

Talent is not enough, it can be a rotation guard in a weak team, but it is very difficult to play an important role in a championship-level team.

The only space left must be used well to get a player who can bring enough firepower to the Kings backcourt.

Li Liang looked around the list of free agents and settled on Eric Gordon of the Pelicans.

In March of this year, Gordon was reimbursed due to injury.

For him in the contract year, it was indeed a fatal impact.

He has a lot of strength, but injuries are a big minus.

Stronger than Curry, he also signed a child labor contract due to injuries, otherwise the Warriors would not have the money to take James this year.

Li Liang was not worried about injuries. He still had a lot of "bruise pills under the overpass". With these pills, injuries disappeared without a trace.

Divac took out a small notebook and silently wrote down the candidates requested by Li Liang.

"By the way, isn't Rondo going to stay?"

"We have contacted him, and the Bulls are currently quoting him, and we may not be able to afford the money."

Rondo's salary in the Kings last season was 9 million a year. Although Rondo has great skills, his personality is a bit thorny, and his relationship with the coaching staff is always not good.

Moreover, his technical characteristics of poor shooting do not match the current basketball trend very well, causing him to wander in multiple teams.

This year it's the Bulls' turn to scratch the prize again.

For an experienced point guard like Rondo, Li Liang thinks it is still necessary from the perspective of the head coach.

In particular, Rondo has good defensive ability and rich experience in big competitions.

If the King's team building goal is only to enter the playoffs and play well in the regular season, then Rondo is really not suitable.

But if the Kings want to compete for the championship, especially when the Western Warriors suddenly swell, they must have experienced veterans.

Rondo was in the Celtics back then, and he was considered a famous player against James. If he was there, the Kings would have more cards to use when they met the Warriors in the playoffs.

Li Liang has fought the battle of prosperity for the past four years, and this year may be the poorest year.

Of course, no matter how poor you are, you can't beat the Chinese team.

Divac thought to himself that the team still has a middle class clause that is useless. If Rondo can accept it, he can use the middle class to give him a 4-year long contract.

"Rondo's character and temper may be a problem." Divac reminded Li Liang.

"It's okay, he's from Kentucky." Li Liang responded.

That's right, Rondo is also a student in Kentucky, and Li Liang's senior.

In addition to Rondo, Cousins ​​​​is also from Kentucky, as well as Cauley-Stein, and the forward selected by the Kings in the draft this year, the forward Scale Labissiere from Haiti, is still produced by Kentucky.

With the addition of Li Liang, the king will soon become the Kentucky branch.

Divac's words also reminded Li Liang, he tried hard to think, is there any Kentucky classmate who can't play now?

Or some veterans who have worked with themselves?

Li Liang mentioned some people, discussed with Divac, and almost a day passed.

And today his training task has not been completed yet.

Neither the actual task nor the task in the system has been completed.

Only then did Li Liang realize that this coach is really not easy to be.

Even if someone assists you, as the final decision maker, you actually have to consume a lot of energy.

Not to mention, after the selection of players, a series of tasks such as team training, pre-match tactical arrangements, and improvement of players' personal abilities must be arranged.

What awaits Li Liang will be a challenging 2016-2017 season.
