Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

The King's trip east has not been all that smooth.

After defeating the Wizards and taking a beating with the veteran, the King was besieged in Li Liang's spiritual hometown of Boston.

TD North Shore Garden, an atypical defensive battle between the Kings and the Celtics.

This is Stevens' fourth season in charge of the Celtics. The saplings planted by the young coach in Boston are slowly growing.

The Celtics have inherited their consistent tradition, extreme teamwork, tenacious game spirit, and tough defense.

This was the mainstream of the league in the 1980s and 1990s, but today, it seems a bit different.

But regardless of whether it is heterogeneous or not, the Celtics' combat effectiveness this season is very strong.

The two sides fought fiercely for two overtimes. Li Liang had a lore chance at the last moment, but was surrounded by the Celtics' three-man defense. He forced a shot from outside the three-point line and missed. The Kings 104:106, It is a pity to lose by 2 points.

In the two overtime battles, the scores of both sides were only in the early 100s, which is enough to show the strength of the two teams' defense.

At the same time, in the coach vs. coach duel, Li Liang was defeated.

After the game, Mike Brown rarely criticized Li Liang.

"You are a coach Bruce. Sometimes you have to think about the whole game with the coach's thinking. For the coach, from the first offense and the first defense in the first quarter, the contest between the two sides has actually begun. Yes, the final result is accumulated every minute of the previous 48 minutes. Every substitution, every timeout, every tactical arrangement, and even every call are meaningful. You are a coach, Bruce .”

Mike Brown said it again at the end.

But this time, Li Liang was also rare and did not reply, and nodded in agreement with Mike Brown's opinion.

He was right, a coach is a coach, and since Li Liang decided to be a coach, he had to adapt to being a coach.

Even if a lot of specific work is done by the three assistant coaches of the coaching staff, many decisions have to be made by Li Liang.

After a defeat in Boston, the Kings' record came to 13-6, which is still the best start for the Kings in the past ten years, but also the worst start for Li Liang in five seasons.

He has to learn to be a coach.

Li Liang began to put more energy into learning how to become a coach.

He has come into contact with too many great coaches. In the system, those coaches who have made great contributions in the history of basketball are all Li Liang's teachers.

But with so many teachers, who should he learn from?

Li Liang tried to learn from Wooden. In the first training session, he taught the coaches in his department.

Wooden built UCLA into an invincible team with meticulous care and meticulous care.

But the NCAA is the NCAA, and the NBA is the NBA. Li Liang still has to play.

After trying to ask questions about everything, Li Liang felt that learning from Wooden was not an option.

Li Liang also tried to learn from Bob Knight, the one who gave him the hair dryer.

Every day, he speaks fragrantly, scolds east and west, has a hot temper, and says what he says.

Li Liang felt that it would be perfect for him to match [Bob Knight's hair dryer].

But after many games, Li Liang felt very tired.

It's not that the mouth is tired, it's that the heart is tired.

When you swear with a purpose, it is not pleasant to swear.

When Li Liang was a player, he turned on the hair dryer to swear, just to swear.

He did it to vent his emotions, mostly to have fun, so he finished cursing when he finished cursing. He didn't care what he was scolding, right or not, as long as he was happy.

If you can make your teammates better by the way and listen to it, that would be great.

If you don't listen to it and don't correct it, there's nothing you can do. Li Liang just needs to play better.

But being a coach is different when you scold others. You scold with a purpose, hoping that the players can correct themselves and change their bad habits.

Once doing things with a purpose, even scolding people is not happy, but it can be painful.

Later, Li Liangyou didn't bother to scold. He felt that the coach's scolding should be done by middle school coaches, such as Behrman.

Correct the player in the process of forming various habits.

In a professional team, no coach is obliged to correct your bad habits.

If you don't play well and are not decisive, you can just sit on the bench, or worse, you will lose your job.

After thinking about it, he figured it out, why don't I learn from Mike Brown?

As the saying goes, the crowd searched for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in a dimly lit place.

Mike Brown followed Li Liang to the north and south, and each of the four championships has the credit of Mike Brown.

He has won the best coach twice, is the youngest best coach in NBA history, and was once one of the youngest head coaches.

What he accomplished with the Cavaliers was jaw-dropping quickly, and his accomplishments on the defensive end are obvious to all.

Such an excellent coach and Li Liang's closest comrade-in-arms, why not learn from him?

It can only be said that people are sometimes blinded by familiar things, and many things are far away and close at hand.

So, after accepting Mike Brown's criticism, on the way to the next stop, New York, Li Liang began to ask Brown for advice on how to become an excellent head coach.

After hearing this question, Brown was first moved, and Bruce Lee finally remembered to ask me this question!

Immediately, Mike Brown didn't know how to answer this question.

how to answer?

"Just give the ball to Bruce Lee."

MD, now Bruce Lee is the coach, let him give the ball to himself?

However, if you don't give the ball to Bruce, how can you coach you?

Brown fell into deep contemplation. He hadn't left Li Liang for a long time, and he was about to forget the past.

It seems that before that, coaching was another job compared to now.

He has to work hard to recall, recall his work and life in the Cavaliers before 2012.

But he recalled it for a while, and felt that it was not what the greatest coach should look like.

He has too many problems and flaws, in fact, after leading the Cavaliers to the Finals in 2007, he realized the problem.

"Too fast, we succeeded too fast, maybe we have to slow down."

Mike Brown clearly remembers what he said to his assistants after the finals.

Became the head coach in 2005, and led the Cavaliers in the 2007 Finals.

This result is really remarkable.

Just after meeting Bruce Lee, Brown's coaching career went in another direction.

It was a different life.

Sitting in the window of the plane, Mike Brown thought of the afternoon he and Bruce Lee arrived in Las Vegas for summer league.

"Govern by doing nothing." Brown said to Li Liang after thinking for a long time.

"What?"

"It's a saying in China, which is to rule by doing nothing. You don't have to do too much, just do some basic work. Manage the relationship with the players, manage by doing nothing, and everything will be fine. This is what you have to do , because you are different from other coaches." While speaking, Mike Brown pushed his glasses like an expert.

"What's the difference?" Li Liang asked.

"You can play on the court. The more you do off the court, the less you can do on the court. Doing nothing is not doing nothing, but looking at everything and the team from a higher place. "

Li Liang was silent, thinking, Mike, you won't bluff me, will you?
