Summer passes quickly, August passes, September ends, and October enters, the new NBA season is already on schedule.
On the first day of October, the Pacers officially announced a large list of Pacers training camps for the 2014-2015 season.
The Pacers training camp will start on October 2nd, and a total of 19 players have entered the Pacers training camp roster.
Unlike the big battles of the Lakers and Clippers, the Pacers training camp opened quietly. The team did not arrange a large media meeting, but only gave a half-day training open day for the media to take pictures and interviews.
But reporters from this day can be said to be quite a lot.
In addition to local Indiana reporters, there are New York, Boston, and Chinese media.
The reason for the Pacers' attention is simple, because they have Li Liang.
At the same time, the news of Larry Bird's comeback as head coach also surprised many people in the league.
Bird said that he would only be a coach for three years. No matter what his grades were, he wouldn't do it anymore.
Unexpectedly, Byrd had gone wrong.
But thinking of the Pacers trading in Li Liang, desperate, then Bird's comeback seemed reasonable.
So the first day of the Pacers training camp was extremely lively compared to the past.
Li Liang took a fixed makeup photo in front of the studio of the training hall. He put on the Pacers' No. 28 jersey.
The Pacers' jerseys have been greatly adjusted compared to last season. The last time they adjusted the jersey style was in 2005, when their hero player Reggie Miller retired.
There are several reasons why NBA teams change their jersey styles. One is to purely want to change their tastes and give fans a sense of freshness. After all, if they don't change their skin for more than a decade or decades, classic players will feel tired.
For example, the Houston Rockets. After the 1996 season, the jerseys and team logos changed from classic tomato scrambled eggs, following the trend of the time to cartoon LOGO and dark blue striped shirt.
One is that the team has relatively large changes, such as the retirement of meritorious players, the core away, trading, etc., through the skinning method to indicate "we are different from the past", to draw the line between the past and the past.
For example, after the Cavaliers left the Heat in 2010, the Cavaliers immediately changed the jersey style in response to James' betrayal.
The reason why the Pacers changed the jersey style this time was "the third kind" and was under duress...
Li Liang didn't feel very satisfied after trying on the Pacers' jersey. He thought it was too monotonous. He hoped that the jersey could restore the retro classic stripe design in the past, but at the same time it had to be different from the previous stripe style.
Li Liang made the request, can the Pacers management not follow suit?
Ten years have passed since the last major change, and management also believes it is time to launch a brand new jersey.
So after Li Liang's "review", the Pacers launched a new jersey for the new season, using the simple design that is popular nowadays, and equipped with a classic striped pattern.
The color is still three classic colors of white, bright yellow and cyan.
In order to add Chinese elements, the designer even considered using a red jersey, but Li Liang rejected it.
"Who tells you that red is the Chinese element? Will the Chinese use red? Yellow can also be the Chinese element. The ancient Chinese emperor Ming and Qing emperors wore yellow... Of course, there were also red and black in the past. Don’t stick to the so-called China. Elements, just look good."
Guidance Li issued the highest instruction, the designer said that you are right, everything listens to you.
Therefore, Li Liang put on a newly designed jersey on the first day of the training camp and took a lot of makeup photos to speak for the Pacers.
Careful reporters will find that Li Liang's body is much stronger than last season.
The body becomes thicker, especially the shoulders become stronger, bulging, as if equipped with shoulder armor.
Although far less exaggerated than Dwight Howard, it is also much stronger than in the past.
The reporter stepped forward to ask Li Liang if he continued to strengthen his body in the summer.
Li Liang replied: "No, this is the effect of the new jersey. This is a design with narrow shoulders and waist. It will be more obvious. In fact, I have not changed. I have not improved at all."
The reporter is a bit ignorant, what does this mean? No improvement? I believe you are a ghost.
But think about it and think it is possible.
Because Li Liang did not appear in the public eye and did not appear in any training camp throughout August and September.
Many reporters have sought Wei Dazhi through relationships and asked about Li Liang's whereabouts. Wei Dazhi's answers generally include the following:
"sleeping at home."
"Go out to play."
"Play games with girlfriend."
"Go to harvest corn."
Anyway, there was such rhetoric back and forth, and finally some media requested the release of Rus-Lee-related news to increase traffic, only to say "Bruce-Lee is said to be driving a tractor and harvesting corn fields in Indiana. He bought it in Indiana. In many places, maybe there is a possibility to stay here for a long time?"
This kind of news is nonsense. When did you buy land?
It’s just that the farm drove back to the tractor and it’s just an addiction.
And he didn't dare to let his dad know that he had to ask him to endorse tractor advertisements and to push the tractor business to Big Corn State.
So think about it, Li Liang may really not make progress in the summer? Just keep the original level, that's not bad.
In the afternoon, the media opening hours ended, and the Pacers began the first training of the new season.
Bird wore a white coach T-shirt with a whistle around his neck, and his face felt very unhappy.
He was not happy at all, he didn't want to be a coach, he was troubled, he was tired, he was in trouble.
But Li Liang asked him to do it, he couldn't help it.
The entire Pacers are consistent from top to bottom, and they are working hard to meet the requirements put forward by Li Liang.
Li Liang has a lot of demands, but most of them have nothing to do with money or privileges, so the boss waved his hand and asked to meet as much as possible.
"Beep!"
Byrd blew the assembly whistle, the team assembled, and began the first day of training.
19 players, compared with last season, except for George, Mahinmi replaced Li Liang and Waiters, the others have not changed much.
The core lineup is retained, plus some short contracts, the basic combat power is still guaranteed.
Everyone stood in a row, staring straight at Bird.
Standing in the middle, Li Liang stood in the middle, standing next to him. Stephen Senfensen occasionally glanced at Li Liang, wondering what was going on in his head.
Everyone was waiting for Byrd's new season declaration. As a result, Byrd held back for a long time and said: "OK, let's start training. Let's listen to the arrangements made by Coach Vogel and Coach Brown."
After talking, Byrd ran to the bench and found a stool to sit down, meaning that I didn’t care anymore, I wanted to sit, I should have been sitting.
Li Liang is full of question marks, Larry, how do you coach? What use do you want? It might as well let me come.
In fact, Larry Bird was really useful sitting on the sidelines.
Even if he looks at the players without saying a word, he feels different to the players.
This is Larry. His story is familiar to any NBA player.
Even if he is just a mascot, he has a strong role.
In fact, when Bird used to be a coach, it was this "hands-off shopkeeper" style. He assigned the main work to his assistant coaches. He was in charge of controlling the overall situation and rallying people's hearts.
Even during the game, when a timeout is called, Bird will hand over the tactical board to the assistant coach, let the assistant coach draw the tactics, and he will rest aside.
In this way, he got the best coach, where do you reason?
The team's collective training began under Vogel's guidance.
Before the start of training camp, Vogel had just renewed his contract with the Pacers as an assistant coach.
Bird promised to give Vogel the position of head coach at any time when necessary.
As for Mike Brown, Li Liang's good partner, good follower, from Los Angeles to Cleveland, and from Cleveland to Indianapolis.
Such a situation where coaches follow players everywhere is unprecedented in NBA history.
But Mike Brown is very happy. His goal now is not to be a successful coach, but to cultivate a great player.
Throughout the summer, only Liang and Mike Brown trained with Li Liang.
Only Li Liang and Mike Brown know what progress and results Li Liang has achieved after two months of special training.
Mike Brown is convinced that Li Liang can shake the league again in the new season.
"Mike! I want to drink water, get me a glass of water."
"OK, OK, I will go right away."
The first thing to do is tactical training ~EbookFREE.me~ After half a break, Li Liang asked Brown to pour himself water.
Stephenson looked aside, feeling a little uncomfortable.
You are also a player, how can the assistant coach give you back water?
Stephenson's other advantages are not much, and this is not worse than anyone's.
He couldn't hold back the fighting spirit in his heart and took the initiative to walk to the sidelines. Li Liang approached and said, "Hey Bruce, we are a three-point match?"
Li Liang took the water from Mike Brown and took a sip without looking at Stephenson or speaking.
After drinking the water, he handed the water bottle to Mike Brown, then turned around and stood outside the sideline of the court, throwing a ball toward the basket.
"Uh!"
Entered.
Then Li Liang looked at Fenson, gave him a look, and walked away.
