Chapter 451: : [Public opinion is like a tide]


The news that D'Antoni was fired shocked the entire basketball ring.
Although the contradiction between Zachrandorf and D'Antoni is well known, the basketball media has not speculated that this will be the result.
Even New York fans were a little scared.
D'Antoni.
A generation of running masters, the most popular coach in recent years. When he joined the Knicks this summer, he was said to be condescending, but now he was swept away.
Does Zakrandorf really have such a charm?
Suddenly, the media issued question marks.
Simultaneously expressing sarcasm and falling down.
"I guess no future top coach will be willing to go to the Knicks. Under Isaiah Thomas's control, it almost becomes a black hole for the coach. From Wilkins, to Larry Brown, to the current German Anthony ... None of them was respected in New York, and even became a laughing stock, with a prestige. "
Bill Simmons, a poison tongue commentator known for his basketball commentary, published a essay in epsn on the same day.
At the same time, there are many similar opinions. The dismissal of D'Antoni has added to the already notorious reputation of the Knicks.
Especially that afternoon, D'Antoni announced his departure and took away the assistant team.
The Knicks' conditions became turbulent.
"No team is better at killing than the New York Knicks. They can always smash a good hand and, after a few days and good days, ca n’t wait to destroy everything. The new dog blood drama has begun. , The disaster began. "
There is also increasing cynicism in the media.
As if the Knicks had fallen into in a blink of an eye.
Later that day, Isaiah Thomas stood up to stabilize the military, saying that he would temporarily act as the head coach to help the team stabilize the current situation.
But this did not reduce the suspicion and ridicule of the outside world, and even more diffuse. Because Isaiah Thomas is not a good and reliable coach in everyone's mind, he is even far from the standard of a qualified coach.
However, for the cynicism, Isaiah Thomas showed the strength of ‘Ren, southeast and northwest wind’.
"I know that many people are questioning our decision. We are very grateful for the hard work and hard work of coach D'Antoni. His professionalism and superb commanding art are admirable."
"Next, we will keep going and we will always win. We will take Mr. D'Antoni's promise to continue to move towards new achievements. I believe that under the leadership of Bruce Lee, the Knicks will be able to Achieve new and greater achievements. "
Isaiah Thomas's speaking style involuntarily moved closer to Stephen Marbury, there is no way ... This kind of propaganda style has been tried and tested, and it has lasted for a long time.
"Knicks fans, don't linger, don't worry. New opportunities have arrived, we have to open our hands and welcome our golden future!"
Thomas was calm and very bold.
It's no wonder that James Dolan will be angry, and he will not hesitate to quit D'Antoni who tries to usurp.
Poor D'Antoni still doesn't understand why the boss wants to dismiss himself. He even said there: they will regret this decision sooner or later, and Zakrandorf is not a person who can assume the responsibility.
However, this statement is also making Zakrandorf more loyal.
He is even more full of fighting spirit because of the cynicism of the media. Such piercing players are born to be rebellious and behave independently. Most of them have not felt any warmth.
Well now, the mass attack of the media has inspired Randolph's rebellious heart. The team's expulsion of D'Antoni activated his human warmth, and he almost burst into tears with a declaration of loyalty to the Knicks.
However, Li Zhen stopped him.
He still hoped that Randolph could be more restrained, and at this time he ran out loudly, and with the IQ and broken mouth of Randolph, he could not ignite his upper body, causing thunder.
Of course, the most important thing is that D'Antoni took away three of the assistant coaching teams. Now the Knicks' coaching team is left with Jamie Lin, as well as shooting assistant Alan Houston and physical trainer Bob.
The top priority is to hurry the fans and make a mention, because the Knicks' second home opponent is the Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons eliminated the Knicks last season, which made Li Zhen and the old players always grudge.
And in that series, the two sides were full of gunpowder, and Hamilton is still talking about it, saying that Li Zhen is a flower shelf, and it is not worthy of the name. After a short distance, he also commented on Li Zhen's scandal. Two days ago, he also praised Scarlett Johansson's Facebook, and also uttered in front of the media: My favorite female star is Scarlett Johansson, she not only has a beautiful face and body, but also has a The crystal-clear heart, she can always see through the shock behind those bright and beautiful.
Li Zhen laughed at it. He sometimes thought in a nasty way: If let Hamilton know that Scarlett Johansson sent me a maid photo last night, he must not cry to death.
Oh, where does this kind of person know about women?
However, although this kind of person does not understand women, he is very good at it.
The Pistons ’Sanders head coach jumped out for the first time and slammed the Knicks’ dismissal of D'Antoni. He said:
This is not in line with the spirit of the contract, and it is predictable that no famous coach will join the Knicks in the future. , New York is equivalent to imposing a long-lasting curse on themselves, and they will be depressed. "
"I know the Knicks have always been very dissatisfied with the results of last season's playoffs. But then, no matter what, we are the winners and we will always be the winners."
Hamilton also boasted on the TV: "To be honest, I have lost the fun of the next game against the Knicks, and wo n’t be honourable. They do n’t even have a coaching team. And they will definitely find all kinds of things by then. Reason. You know, finding reason has always been New York ’s specialty. "
These voices soon spread to New York.
Arouse the Knicks fans' strong disgust, they all think that the Pistons are falling. They all expected the Knicks to give these a head-on in the next game, but they felt too difficult in their hearts.
After all, D'Antoni took the teaching assistant team.
Moreover, it takes at least four weeks for Stephen Marbury to return ... Old players' wounds always heal more slowly than younger ones.
Ugh!
In the end, indignation can only be turned into helpless sighs. The so-called house leaks happen even in the rain at night, which is probably the case.
...
Isaiah Thomas did not live up to the media's evaluation of his coaching strength. After he had spoken eloquently in front of the media, he returned to the team's war room and was at a loss.
He has no clue about the Knicks' current tactics, and he can't come up with an effective tactical system.
What he had in mind was the kind of melee defense that Chuck Daly had in the 1990s.
So, the task had to be handed over to Jamie Lin.
"Jamie, I always admire you. You are a motivated young man, so I want to give you a chance."
Isaiah Thomas patted Jamie Lin on the shoulder: "Before the new coaching team is formed, I hope you will perform in these games."
"After all, I am already a vice president who has stepped into management. I no longer need these things to prove myself, but you, Jamie. You have to pass the test to achieve a mindset like me that can be a real top coach. . "
"Come on!"
Isaiah fought against Jamie Lin.
Jamie Lin nodded quickly.
Then he devoted himself to very active work.
Li Zhen also assisted him in letting the players work together, hoping to explore in training.
It is worth mentioning that despite the chaos in the outside world, the Knicks have been united within the team. The personnel changes did not bring about a trace of confusion, let alone lose the confidence of the players in the future.
After all, everyone knows that Bruce Lee is the backbone of the team, not D'Antoni.
Even more, many players believe that Jamie Lin is more critical than D'Antoni.
The few games that D'Antoni let go, let Jamie Lin gain a lot of trust and respect on the team.
This is why he is young and has yellow skin and can make various instructions on the training ground.
...
Orlando Magic is the first opponent the Knicks met after D'Antoni left.
Although many people criticize the Magic for giving Rashad Lewis a super premium contract this summer, they have to admit that although Lewis has a high salary and low energy, his arrival has really changed the magic.
The Orlando Magic has formed a four-shot lineup around Howard.
Their record this season has been stable in the East third, second only to the Knicks and Celtics.
At the very beginning of the game, the magic center Howard showed super aggressiveness, and he was worried about Zakrandorf's self-proclaimed first center in the east.
This young Superman is actively marketing the position of the first center in the league. Who knows Randolph should cut the hustle in the east in advance, where can he bear it?
Even if he is known as a happy beast, no matter how happy he is, he can't watch others pretending to be like wind.
Snapped!
He came up and gave Randolph a sturdy cover for his habitual brushboard.
After entering the fourth season of his career, World of Warcraft, the upper limbs have been extremely strong, physical fitness and defensive experience have reached their peak, this season he has been occupying the position of rebounding king and blocking king.
Randolph wanted to brush the board in front of him, basically to send a cap.
The Magic are not only good at Howard, their shooters have also fired from the first minute.
Turkoglu's first goal was an emergency stop jumper at the top of the three-point line, and a straight hit.
This seems to indicate a bad sign.
Li Zhen quickly stabilized the situation with a long-range layup.
But looking back, Howard blasted the offensive rebound again ... After Rashad Lewis missed a shot, he shot the basketball to Nelson. Under Li Zhen's defense, Nelson even smashed the ball to the rebound. Howard still pressed Randolph to poke basketball to Tekoglu, and Tekoglu finally hit a shot.
When Eddie Griffin was led to the periphery by Lewis, Randolph and Howard were left inside. Randolph's rebound was not an opponent at all.
This is the subtlety of Stan Van Gundy's semicircle tactics.
