Chapter 914: full of challenge

After signing the coaching contract, Li Liang became a real NBA head coach and the only player who is currently the only part-time coach in the league.
For system prompts, Li Liang automatically ignores them.
Achievement system, it is estimated to start from scratch, as a coach, every time you complete an achievement, give yourself a little reward.
As for what the reward is, Li Liang is not very concerned about it for the time being, he has many other more important things to worry about.
Unlike being a player in the past, being a coach needs to know more about the running of the team.
Especially need to communicate with general manager Divacdo.
Because the King’s signings this summer are still in progress.
In fact, before Li Liang’s new team was confirmed, the free market was basically in a stagnant state.
The salary cap has risen sharply this year, which can be said to be a feast for players and agents.
But if the biggest fish is not owned, the teams dare not open contracts randomly.
As soon as the free market opened in July, except for some news about the signing of the parent team's contract renewal, the completely free agent market did not move at all.
Almost everyone in the league is paying attention to the Olympics and watching Li Liang lead the Chinese team.
As soon as the Olympics ended, I was frantically inquiring about Li Liang.
Fortunately, Li Liang didn't let everyone wait too much, otherwise many players and agents would really get angry.
After Li Liang's ownership was settled, the free market became active in August, a full month later than in previous years.
The remaining 29 teams started waving checks to open contracts to the lucky ones whose contracts expired this year.
The Wasp is one of them.
After the Warriors had James, Batum tested the free market.
As a result, the Hornets got Batum with 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 that 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 an epitome. The remaining ones include Baezmore’s 70 million and Joakim Noah’s 75 million. These contracts were placed five years ago. Ten years ago, they were only matched by top players. own.
But now, it almost makes people think that the annual salary of 20 million is the price of cabbage, and the average star can be 30 million.
For the king, this is not good news.
Because after winning Li Liang, their salary space is about 10 million.
Putting it in the free market in the past, it is possible to properly win a strong quasi-full star player.
But with the crazy situation of the free market this year, some Mesozoic players with a little strength are difficult to come to the King.
Although you can win the championship with Li Liang, for most players, money is more important.
Tens of millions of contracts and championships, of course, choose the contract.
Therefore, the king wants to sign up, the biggest bargaining chip is Li Liang.
Relying on Li Liang's attraction, recruit veterans who want to win the championship.
This is also the traditional NBA routine.
Divac explained to Li Liang about the signings plan. Their number one signing target in August was the Nets guard Temple.
The king can take Temple with a contract of 8 million.
But this proposal was quickly rejected by Li Liang.
Impressed with Temple Li Liang, he lost the draft and gained a foothold in the NBA with his efforts.
Insufficient talents, you can be a rotating guard in a weak team, it is very difficult to play an important role in a championship-level team.
The only little space must be used to get a player who can bring enough firepower to the Kings backcourt.
Li Liang glanced around the list of free agents and took a fancy to Eric Gordon of the Pelicans.
In March of this year, Gordon was reimbursed for his injury.
For him in the contract year, it is indeed a fatal impact.
He has great strength, but injuries are a big deduction.
It's better than Curry, who also signed a child labor contract because of injuries, otherwise the Warriors won't have the money to get James this year.
Li Liang didn't worry about the injury. There were still a lot of "traumatic injury pills under the overpass". With this thing, the injury disappeared.
Divac took out his notebook and silently wrote down the candidates Li Liang requested.
"By the way, isn't Rondo going to stay?"
"We have contacted him, and the Bulls are currently offering him an offer. We may not be able to pay."
Rondo’s salary at the Kings last season was 9 million a year. Although Rondo is skilled, his personality is a bit prickly and his relationship with the coaching staff is always not good.
Moreover, his technical characteristics of inability to shoot the ball are not very compatible with the current basketball trend, 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, from the perspective of the head coach, thinks it is still needed.
Especially Rondo has good defensive ability and rich experience in competitions.
If the goal of the Kings’ team building is to enter the playoffs and play well in the regular season, Rondo is really not suitable.
But 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, and he was considered an anti-Jan star. With him, if he meets the Warriors in the playoffs, the Kings will have more cards available.
Li Liang has fought a battle of wealth in the past four years, and this year may be the poorest year.
Of course, no matter how poor the Chinese team is.
Divac thought that the team also had a middle class clause that was useless. If Rondo could accept it, he could use the middle class to open a 4-year long contract to him.
"Rondo's character and temper may be a problem." Divac reminded Li Liang.
"It doesn't matter, he is from Kentucky." Li Liang responded.
That's right, Rondo is also a Kentucky student 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 this year's draft, the forward Scarlet Rabizie from Haiti, is still produced by Kentucky.
With Li Liang, the king will soon become a division of Kentucky. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm
Divac's words also reminded Li Liang that he tried hard to think about whether there are any Kentucky classmates who can't play the ball now?
Or some veterans who have worked with me?
Li Liang mentioned some people again, discussed with Divac, and almost one day passed.
And today his training mission has not been completed yet.
The actual tasks, and the tasks in the system, were not completed.
Only then did Li Liang realize that this coach is really not good.
Even if someone assists you, as the final decision maker, you will actually consume a lot of energy.
Not to mention, after the selection is completed, a series of tasks such as team training, pre-match tactical arrangements, and the improvement of players' personal abilities must be arranged.
Waiting for Li Liang will be a challenging 2016-2017 season.
