The God of Basketball

Relying on Howard's rebounding skills in the penalty area, the Magic get more relaxed treatment for outside shooters.

The most important thing is that Mr. Nixon, the Magic point guard who had been dealt with by Li Zhen every time before, finally resigned to his fate. Even if Li Zhen knocked him down in the second quarter, he did not appear particularly excited, let alone Eager to get back on the field.

Having recognized the situation, he has long since given up his illusions. He no longer expects to stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Chen. He even feels that it is a matter of course to be beaten by Li Chen, as if Kobe Bryant can blow up their scoring every night. Guard Redick.

When Nixon stopped burning the CPU, and even handed over the possession of the ball to Turkoglu, their attack became extremely smooth.

This greatly improves offensive efficiency. In addition, the three-point shooting ability of this group of people is too strong.

Scored 26 three-pointers in a single game.

The Knicks had no choice but to lose their first home game of the season.

112:121.

"It's hard to win when your opponent is shooting 26 3-pointers on close to 50 percent."

Isiah Thomas spread out his palms after the game. He said to the reporters: "I don't think the mentality of the players has been affected by the departure of the coaching staff. I also don't agree with Zach Randolph's performance tonight. Abnormal, you can't criticize a center who scored 25 points and 12 rebounds in a single game, just like you can't deny that a guard who averaged 12.6 assists per game is not the number one point guard."

He then addressed issues of concern to all.

"The new assistant coaching team will be in place within a week. Our team formation will give many talented and ambitious young people in the NCAA the opportunity. The NBA needs fresh blood, and young coaches need a platform for promotion. It's like our team's chief assistant coach, Jamie Lin, he is a good example. I believe that young assistant coaches will quickly improve their ability to control tactics by working with the best point guards in the world. In the near future, they will become the pillars of the NBA."

"I firmly believe that no one becomes a top coach overnight. I, and the Knicks, are open to young people."

"That's why I let Jamilin execute tactics at certain times."

Isaiah Thomas stood in front of the camera and said with a straight face. "As a veteran of this industry, I have no ambitions for fame and fortune. The so-called running water does not compete for the first place, but the competition is for eloquence!"

These impassioned words caused applause from the scene.

Many people looked at Thomas with admiration. The NBA, which believes that his behavior is above all commercial interests, is a clean stream: what a noble act it is to give young people a chance.

Although the NBA is a top platform, if there is no continuous support from behind, just relying on a few top coaches will not be able to last long and promote the continuous progress of the league.

For a moment, people also forgot...Isiah Thomas handed the tactical board directly to Jamelin in the crucial fourth quarter, asking him to draw the tactics and let him direct the command.

Of course, those basketball experts who were eager to try did not dare to take advantage of this matter. Because, Isaiah Thomas, this is the righteousness of supporting young people.

Whoever criticizes him on this matter doesn't mean that he is an enemy of all young people?

When James Dolan saw the interview video of Isaiah on the TV at home, he couldn't help being in awe: He really deserves to be the man I value. What a noble sentiment, what a lofty ideal. It's really different from those head coaches who are so busy, so overjoyed, and compete with players for profit.

In one thought, he felt more and more that his decision to fire D'Antoni was extremely correct.

Only such a broad-minded man can be worthy of our great Knicks club.

We will surely become a century-old legend.

James Dolan is growing more confident about the team's prospects.

But in fact, after Isiah Thomas came down from the press conference, his forehead was covered with sweat.

He was sweating profusely in this pretense, it was too much a test of his mental quality.

He even admired himself a little bit, and at the same time he thanked the team owner James Dolan... If he didn't have so many adoring eyes, how could he be so swaying.

Isiah Thomas's speech caused a great backlash within the league, which to some extent covered up the negative news of the Knicks' home defeat. Because more people think that Isiah Thomas's remarks of "trusting newcomers" are perverse. Especially those with vested interests, they began to mock Isiah Thomas as a posturing and betting on the future of the Knicks, and some even commented anonymously that Thomas was deliberately retaliating against D'Antoni.

However, for the smiling assassin, all these disputes were taken lightly.

What he fears the most in his life is the attack of public opinion. After all, it has been more than half a year before his reputation has improved a little bit.

Now, the problem he needs to face is... The Detroit Pistons are coming.

The Knicks' loss to the Orlando Magic made the Detroit people even more rampant. They even brought arrogant words when they set foot in New York: "The Knicks won a game by chance in the playoffs last season. They have been proud so far. Now is the time Pierce their false prosperity."

Hamilton rants to the media.

In fact, earlier, they had already added to the internal chaos of the Knicks.

This aroused the anger of Knicks fans, who could not stand this kind of villain behavior.

Ever since, there have been many reports in the New York media criticizing the Pistons and calling on Knicks players to fight back.

But in fact, for the Knicks players, playing the Pistons has never been a mobilization thing.

They didn't need extra motivation, and on the morning of the loss to the Magic, all players arrived at the practice facility by 8:30.

Including Eddie Curry, who is the slaziest on weekdays.

"I have to do something." Eddy Curry said in the locker room: "I didn't appear in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, and I made those stupid guys proud for too long."

In fact, he himself knows that with his current physical condition, the possibility of playing is very low.

But even so, he has to contribute to the team.

This is the cohesion that Marbury often refers to.

Although the newcomers Eddie Griffin and Zach Randolph did not experience last season's playoffs. However, they have always heard about the verbal battle between the Pistons and the Knicks. In the past few days, the Pistons have intensified their taunts and pointed their finger at Li Zhen.

This is what they cannot tolerate.

The former fallen genius Eddie Griffin established the only basketball philosophy as early as three months ago: Whoever messes with Bruce on the court will kill him.

Now that the Pistons have invaded the door, he can't bear it for half a minute. After entering the training hall, he even began to practice three-point shooting that he hadn't practiced for many years... Eddie Griffin used to have a very soft touch. He is not only a shot-blocking genius, but also not only a wing defense Daren, he is also a shooter who can extend his shooting range beyond the three-point line. This is why everyone set his template as Kevin Garnett back then, and it is also the reason why the Rockets were willing to spend three first rotations. He tried his best to match the reason why he and Yao Huang formed an insider combination.

Sadly, he was addicted to alcohol in those years. Although the prodigal son has turned back now, the lost things are not so easy to get back.

For Randolph, although his feelings for Li Zhen are not as dedicated and intense as Griffin. However, as the only leading brother recognized by him in today's league and willing to be led by him, can he let the Pistons' bastards speak their tongues quickly?

"They must be killed."

Zach Randolph was aggressive, and he slapped his chest loudly: "I know Rasheed Wallace, he is a soft guy who looks tough. And Antonio Davis, he is now rusty in his knees .As for that head coach Saunders, a guy who picks up his teeth, I really don’t know where he has the confidence to mock our offensive system. Jamie is 10,000 times stronger than him!!”

Randolph also expressed strong emotions in the locker room.

In the last game, Howard, the little monster, broke his offensive rebounding technique, and by the way, Stan Van Gundy stepped on his "No. 1 center in the East" speech, which made him very annoyed. Coupled with the issue of D'Antoni's resignation, and the fact that the Pistons offended his leading brother... all piled up, he is now like a crazily smoking crater that urgently needs to erupt!

In fact, Li Chen did not set his sights on the Detroit Pistons, he still followed his plan. However, in addition to the daily sweating training, he has increased the number of discussions with Jamelin about tactical details during this period. Sometimes it is even simulated directly on the field.

Although Isiah Thomas forcefully pretended to be aggressive at the press conference, exaggerated his integrity, and concealed that his coaching level was too low, what he said was actually the truth. Li Zhen, as the leading point guard, can exchange tactics with him and let him execute the game, which can indeed make the young coach's control of tactics grow by leaps and bounds.

Jamilin has always felt very lucky recently. He has a super player like Li Zhen who endorses his tactics, and a good boss like Isiah Thomas who is 'understanding and willing to delegate power'...Thomas never orders blindly, And he does the logistical work very well. For young people who want to do something, this kind of leadership is much better than the leadership that is commanding.

For an upcoming opponent, the Detroit Pistons.

Jamilin also formulated multiple tactical systems overnight, including but not limited to Princeton, triangle offense, twin tower dislocation, and run and bomb.

He is now learning from the strengths of many families.

As a rookie coach, he does not have any psychological burden, nor has he reached the level of establishing a school, so he is willing to try various tactics, as long as it is beneficial to the team.

Fortunately, he met Li Zhen. Li Chen can make his ideas 100% or even 200% present.

This makes his good friend Stevens of Butler University very envious. This coach, who is about the same age as Jamie Lin, is accepting the nomination of him by the University Board of Trustees. He will have a great chance to become the new head of Butler University. head coach. But he is still very envious of Jamie Lin who is in the NBA and has a good player like Li Zhen and a good head coach like Isiah Thomas.

Jamelin sent him an invitation without losing the opportunity, saying that he could come here to realize his ambition.

In fact, after Isiah Thomas got Jamelin's recommendation, he called Indiana three nights in a row to talk with Stevens all night long.

Stevens was moved by the grace and sincerity he displayed.

He's making the final call.

...

When Hamilton, wearing a mask, appeared at the Madison Garden Arena, he made a very provocative gesture in front of the booing audience... He pressed his left hand with his right hand and made a fist. This imitation of Ultraman Taro is a more serious provocation in the West than the middle finger.

Therefore, the booing and cursing at Madison Garden became more intense.

Create a strong devil's home atmosphere.

"I like to watch these guys lose their temper, because soon, they will find that Bruce Lee and the Knicks players they are proud of are so vulnerable." Hamilton's laughter is very presumptuous.

The teammates standing beside him also had the same expressions.

Although Larry Brown, the creator of the Pistons system, has long since left, Ben Wallace, the core defensive core, also went to Chicago to pursue a big contract. But the Pistons players are still holding the airs of the No. 1 giant in the East.

Especially, the remaining four tigers.

However, when the players on both sides walked towards the midfield, ready to jump the ball to start the battle.

They discovered that this year's Knicks have been very different.

Because Zach Randolph breathed fragrantly as soon as he got up, he glared at Rasheed Wallace: Fuck you. I'm going to break your bones tonight.

Eddie Griffin is like a cheetah in the African jungle, looking around at the Pistons one by one with his cold eyes. That expression clearly said: Tonight, either I will be beaten to death by everyone here, or I will kill everyone here.

This made the Pistons players subconsciously tremble.

They suddenly remembered the scene at the North Shore Garden last week. Those guys also started like this... No, the Knicks are even more aggressive than Boston.

Have times really changed? The situation in the east is no longer within our control.

Hamilton raised his head, and he saw Li Zhen's more handsome face than last season, and he still had a smile that could seduce all women.

"I don't remember if I ever said I was going to sweep you away."

"I really don't like to say such emotionally extreme and cruel words, it will make people look very unintelligent."

"From this game on, I will step on you again and again."

"because…"

"You are worth it."

Li Zhen told Hamilton with gentle words.

He still broods about what happened in the playoffs last season, and he still remembers the face of the Pistons after the win.

Including the last few days, the repeated jumping of these guys disgusted him.

For such people, the best way is to trample them.

Then announce to them: Your era is over, throw it into the sewer like garbage with the dust of history!
