Chapter 773: Ordinary heart

"I'm happy with Li Liang!"
In the morning, Li Liang woke up from his sleep and couldn't help but scolded.
It was player Waiters who was sleeping in a room with Li Liang. He got up earlier than Li Liang and heard Li Liang scolding and asked, "What's wrong, Bruce, having a nightmare?"
Li Liang got up from the bed and said, "No, it's more terrible than a nightmare."
"Oh, is it? What did you dream of?"
"I dream about Kobe."
"Oh, that's terrible." Waiters shrugged, a strange expression on his face.
The two had been teammates in the Pacers for a short period of time. Later, Waiters was traded to the Thunder.
Personally speaking, Waiters is a very carefree player, a little bit fearless.
So he slept in a room with Li Liang without any pressure.
And as a former younger brother, Waiters occasionally helped Li Liang carry the bag, so although he was careless, he was actually quite insightful.
After a little washing and going to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, Li Liang's whole person was a little bit attentive.
Last night, I coached the Los Angeles Lakers during the mission. Li Liangcai felt for the first time that it was really not that easy to be the head coach.
The biggest difference between being a player and being a coach is that, in the final analysis, the player is playing on the field, can control the ball, and is the ultimate winner in determining the direction of the game.
When you are a coach, no matter what skills you used to have on the court, there are thousands of gullies in your chest, you can only stand on the sidelines and stare.
Clearly seeing the opportunity, some people just don't pass it on.
Even if it was passed, some people would not be able to vote, so Li Liang stomped on the sidelines.
Last night, Li Liang saw the performance of the Lakers outside Kobe, Jones, and Van Exel and others. He scolded 10,000 times in his heart, "Change to the old man, the old man has already adjusted the ball!"
Especially for Kobe, he made 0 of 6 3-pointers from the outside!
Four of them were non-stick, and at that time, Li Liang was about to explode.
As a teammate, Kobe Tie Li Liang didn't feel much, because he could get it back.
I can't shoot it, or I'm going to grab the offensive rebound.
But you can’t do it as a coach. You can’t do anything, you can only cover your face.
This is too painful for Li Liang. There is no difference between the 18-year-old veteran and the 38-year-old.
If you can't vote, you have to vote.
Unfortunately, this game did not give him a chance to score.
As the head coach, Li Liang made a lot of defensive arrangements.
But he found it useless, because the players arrived on the field, played for a while and began to play according to their habits.
I think so, training on weekdays, more than 80 games in the regular season, and in the playoffs, you want them to play defensive targeting and defensive strategies that they have never played before. It is really difficult for the strongman.
Besides, in the center of the triangle of the Utah Jazz in 1997, Li Liang's throat shouted dumb and his ears were deaf.
In the end, the Lakers players were lost in the mountain tsunami in the center of the triangle.
Li Liang finally understood that before he felt that he could be a coach, that was just an illusion.
In the presence of the head coach, he can use his personal abilities and basketball wisdom to supplement.
Once there is no head coach, he cannot play on his own and there is no way to organize a team.
Being a coach is not that simple.
Therefore, when he met Mike Brown in the hotel restaurant, Brown's image in Li Liang's eyes suddenly increased.
This fat man who smiled all day turned out to be the coach of the NBA championship. Even if the Lakers had not won a championship before, his achievements in the Cavaliers were very, very dazzling.
"Mike, Mike!" Li Liang brought his breakfast close to Brown and took the initiative to talk to him.
"Oh Bruce, did you sleep well last night?" Brown asked.
"No, I dreamed...oh, I dreamed of being the head coach."
Brown frowned and said, "I didn't let you practice this."
Li Liang waved his hand and said, "I haven't practiced, I'm dreaming!" Shit, does Mike Brown know I've trained in a dream?
Brown said: "Daily thoughts and night dreams, maybe you have been sitting on the bench for a long time, so you will dream of being a coach."
Brown's explanation was perfect, but Li Liang was not kidding him.
"Mike, I ask you, how did you start as a coach?" Li Liang has an advantage, and he is not ashamed to ask!
If the system can solve it, he solves it in the system, including in the system, he also asks shamelessly. When he is practicing, if he doesn’t know what to do, he just asks and learns.
Now he feels that some things can't be learned in the system, so he has to ask Mike Brown.
Brown said: "I went to the Nuggets as a video editor in 1993. At my own expense, it was an internship. I watched video games every day and studied basketball games. Then I worked for four years. In 1997, I was hired as an assistant coach in Washington. , I started from scratch. Later I went to the Spurs, went to Indiana, worked as an assistant coach for 7 years, and finally applied for a successful head coach. What happened to Bruce? You are still early, and you have to be a coach after you retire. I think you may not be suitable as a coach."
Li Liang was a little puzzled, "Why?"
Brown said: "Your course is too strong, basically no one can meet your requirements, because your requirements are set according to your own standards. For example, two steps away from the three-point line, no one in front of you, you may I hope he can vote directly, you can do it. But if your players can’t do it, they can’t do it, you’ll be very angry, anxious, and will feel like,
This TM is a bunch of things, such simple things. It can’t be done.’ But that’s the case with coaches. Sometimes you have to think of players as idiots, sometimes they are gods. It’s hard for people like you to adapt and only treat them as idiots.

For the first time, Li Liang heard Brown say something that stabbed him in the heart.
The main reason is that last night Li Liang's experience was really like Brown said. He thinks the outsiders of the Lakers are idiots.
Especially that number 8!
Seeing that Li Liang did not speak, Brown added: "The coach was a hard job. I spent four years in Denver. I edited the video and my eyes were almost blind. For four years, you look at you. Four years has won everything you can win. I’m still watching the video."
To be honest, Brown’s experience is very inspirational. I don’t need money to do internships at my own expense. Then I gain a firm foothold in the relatively exclusive circle of the NBA. I definitely rely on my perseverance to add a little talent. Tao: "That Mike, if I want to be a head coach, do I have to let myself be an ordinary player."
Brown did not know why Li Liang said such strange words, he said: "In theory, but you are not an ordinary player, you have to be the best in history."
In fact, Li Liang knew that he used to be an ordinary player, wrong, not ordinary, he was an unqualified player by NBA standards.
In Kentucky for four years, he should have a full understanding of the psychology of ordinary players.
But these three or four years of NBA experience, he has made continuous progress in the system, winning one after another, winning one after another, has become a history-making, maverick superstar, has long put that kind of "ordinary heart" "I have forgotten everything.
Li Liang thought for a while and decided that the performance on the court could not get worse, but that ordinary heart, he had to fight to get it back.
Not only to complete the task of coaching, he felt that it would be good for his career and his ability to improve.
