On August 25, the news of Li Liang's joining the Kings was announced again through Wei Dazhi's Twitter account.

Wei Dazhi was very conscious this time, and didn't call Li Liang every day to harass him and ask him about his new employer's intentions.

Because he knew that after Li Liang confirmed his next home, he would definitely notify him.

As one of the most famous media people in Los Angeles, after receiving the news that Li Liang joined the Kings, he immediately planned and arranged several TV programs to report on it.

It also organizes ESPN reporters and writers to write special topics and conduct long-form reports.

He is no longer the little reporter who used to write small news and repost the gossip news of the league, but a well-known media person and sports TV program producer on the same level as WOJ, or even a head higher.

Because this time Li Liang made it clear that he would not only stay in the king for another year.

He signed a new contract of 100 million for four years with the Kings! The fourth year is a player option.

This is the first 100 million yuan contract that Li Liang signed after entering the league. Although he joined as a free agent, because the salary cap has increased by more than 20 million this summer, and the king's salary space is already abundant, so Li Liang was easily given a maximum salary of 100 million yuan.

For Li Liang, he was able to get a 100 million contract because the labor agreement only allowed him to get 100 million.

With Li Liang's level, 200 million in four years is about the same. With the extra money, Ranadive chose to supplement Li Liang as an assistant coach.

The three assistants, Mike Brown, D'Antoni and Tyronn Lue.

After announcing the news that Li Liang had signed with the Kings, the second news immediately ignited public opinion.

The Kings hired Li Liang as the head coach of the Kings!

And announced the list of teaching assistants.

For a while, the entire alliance was talking about it.

Li Liang is unwilling to be just a player, he even wants to be a coach?

Two consecutive super big melons first completely suppressed the headlines that James had occupied for a few days.

At this moment, in the whole of the United States, unless the *** is shot to death by someone, it is very difficult for an event that can overwhelm these two news items in a short period of time.

Before Li Liang led the Chinese team to the Olympic finals, his enthusiasm has reached a high level.

Fortunately, the U.S. team withstood the pressure and won the championship, otherwise U.S. basketball would really lose face.

As for Li Liang's joining the king this time, although it was a big news, but once a year, everyone gradually got used to it.

But when Li Liang became the king's coach, it was really the first time a big girl got on the bridal sedan chair.

The league hasn't had a part-time coach for a long time.

Although some players have the same tactical understanding as the coach, the workload of the coach makes it difficult for the players to concurrently serve.

Unless, you have a good assistant coach to help!

From the assistant coach candidates announced by the king immediately, it can be seen that each of the three is a candidate who can act independently.

The configuration of the assistant team seems to be prepared to satisfy Bruce Lee's coach Meng'er.

It can only be said that in order to get Li Liang, the king tried his best to meet all kinds of requirements.

No way, this team has been in decline for too long.

The last time they made the playoffs was 10 years ago in 2006.

Divac retired that year, and Chris Webber was traded to the 76ers.

The core of the team became Artest. Two years later, Mike Bibby went to the Hawks, Brad Miller returned to the Bulls, Artest was also traded to the Rockets, and the gorgeous king never came back .

This is a team with a pretty scant history.

That old era of the 1950s won a championship that is not even remembered.

At that time, the NBA was just a regional league, and it didn't have the status it has in the basketball world at all.

In the 1960s, there was a genius like Oscar Robertson, but because of the inexplicable east-west division rules, he was divided into the east, so he will always live in the shadow of the Celtics.

In the 70s, 80s, and 90s, when the NBA gradually moved towards glory, the Kings were always a secondary player.

Yes, they are not even considered as supporting roles to set off the protagonist, they are just secondary roles.

In the 21st century, after a brief brilliance, almost stealing the show and becoming the protagonist, he returned to the role of a dragon.

Now, with the investment of an Indian tycoon, luck has finally come.

The news that Li Liang moved in and was going to be a coach suddenly broke through the sports circle and got out of the circle.

Major programs across the United States are using this topic as a starting point to discuss how many accidents this miracle in the sports world will create.

As a result, a big discussion on why Bruce Lee can be so successful was launched in the United States.

ESPN has produced a special program called How the King Became a King, which uses documentaries, talk shows, debates and other forms to discuss and explore this issue.

Behind this was Wei Dazhi who was the producer at the time.

This is an important part of the Li Liang God-making Movement.

How are gods born?

The performance on the field is one aspect, and the other depends on how the media advocates tout it.

In this regard, American sports media people have always been masters of making gods.

Besides, Li Liang can boast too much. He made a documentary and felt that the three episodes of 180 minutes were not enough. In the end, he added half an hour to each episode, bringing the total to 270 minutes.

Fans who love gossip and bragging have new material to brag about.

...

No matter what the commotion outside, Li Liang's side was always calm.

This is why he has always been able to maintain a high level and a good attitude all year round.

I am the eye of the storm, but I will not be involved in the storm.

After announcing that he signed with the Kings and became the head coach of the Kings, he has more things to do.

If it is a player, he can wait until October to participate in the team training camp and start preparing for the new season.

But since he is a coach, he has to participate in the management of the team.

Li Liang is a novice in these things, and he has to learn many things from scratch.

Being a coach is not like in a game or a task, just stand on the sidelines, explain tactics to the players, and just change players.

One minute on stage, ten years off stage.

This sentence is true for players, and it is the same for coaches.

Without sufficient preparation and rigorous training before the game, it is basically a dream to wait for a magic touch in the command when it comes to the game.

The Kings are a young team. Li Liang has high prestige as a player, but it is still unknown whether he can convince the crowd as a coach.

For Li Liang himself, how to allocate energy will also be a big problem.

In the past, he could be late for training, or even skip it, and do tasks at home by himself.

After becoming a coach, it will definitely not work.

Of course, there are benefits, the most significant benefit is the economic benefit.

He now has two contracts, one player contract and one coach contract.

Anyway, the Indian boss has money and can afford it.

Moreover, Li Liang has not played a game for the king, and has already started to make money for the boss.

On the second day after he announced that he was joining the king, the stock price of Ranasar's company soared!

The gains brought about by the rise in stock prices alone are more than enough to even out the salary paid to Li Liang for four years.

This is a profitable business, who knows who does it.

On August 31, the last day of August, Li Liang officially signed a player and head coach contract with the team at the Kings headquarters.

A four-year, 100 million contract.

Once the contract was signed, Li Liang could finally say to his father and sister, I can also sign a contract worth 100 million yuan!

There is also a one-year head coach contract, the only one for league players.

After Li Liang signed the contract, the subtitles suddenly flashed in front of his eyes:
