Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

For D'Antoni, the pressure is not insignificant!

Being the head coach of the New York Knicks is not an easy task.

Although it is said that as the head coach of the Knicks last season, he "led" the team to win the championship, which made him successfully among the ranks of champion coaches, which can be described as fame and fortune.

However, among the picky New York fans, some don't buy it at all. They think that D'Antoni won the championship by relying on the performance of the "Big Three" of the Knicks.

Before the start of this season, some Knicks fans asked for a coaching change?!

"To be honest, D'Antoni's style is not suitable for the Knicks at all, and this is not the Suns. His running and shooting are completely useless, and he can only run and shoot!"

"That's right, look at how the Knicks played in the playoffs last season, almost all of them played star ball, and some of the simplest cooperation, there is no tactical at all, what role does D'Antoni have? ?”

"If you want me to say that the Knicks have strengthened this season, it's best to change the coach, and replace it with a better defensive coach, that's fine too!"

Although there are not many such voices, they are more or less transmitted to D'Antoni, which still makes him a little worried.

In addition, the Knicks management has indeed taken action in this regard. During the offseason, although they did not directly deny D'Antoni's coaching position, they recruited the legendary point guard Jason Kidd, who retired at 533, from the Mavericks. Arranged in the post-teaching assistant team.

This kind of operation seems to indicate that one day in the future, when Kidd has accumulated enough experience to be better able to be the head coach, then he will lose his job.

Yes, this gave D'Antoni a sense of crisis!

He must do better to prevent this day from coming.

However, the tricky situation was far beyond his expectations.

Originally, there were only a few voices who questioned him. After all, the Knicks won the championship and he became the champion coach.

And this season, the Knicks, who have further achieved great reinforcements, have excellent offense and defense, and their chances of defending the title have greatly increased.

As long as the team is in a normal winning state, and kills the main competitor, the Heat, in the playoffs, and successfully defends the title, then his coaching position will continue to be stable, and his reputation will also increase accordingly.

But unfortunately, the Knicks even reimbursed three main players in a short period of time, and the structure of the team was severely damaged!

Although Bai Feng, who led the single-core team, played very strongly personally, the Knicks' record plummeted and fell rapidly after being targeted by other teams in the league (bccj).

In this way, there are more and more voices questioning the head coach D'Antoni.

"Why is the Knicks so poor recently? It feels like the whole team is not smooth."

"To put it bluntly, it's still the head coach D'Antoni who can't do it. Without star players, he won't win!"

"That's right, although the Knicks are missing three main players, they still have a strong combination of inside and outside lines like Bai Feng+Chandler [As for losing so much all at once?"

"If you can't get back on track, change the coach!"

To make matters worse, the recent road trip to the Western Conference had suffered a losing streak before, and the morale of the entire team began to decline and slump.

The fans in New York complained, and all the contradictions were directed at the head coach!

Obviously, this is an unwritten rule of the NBA. When a team has a poor record and no major problems can be found from the players, the head coach will face the risk of "taking the blame".

Of course D'Antoni knows this.

So in the last game of this Western Conference road trip, against the Lakers, we must win no matter what!

In the first half, the Knicks played well. Bai Feng used the offensive performance against the sky and led the team to a nearly 10-point lead.

It seems that everything seems to be developing on the right track.

But less than 2 minutes after the opening of the second half, Kobe instantly chased the point difference to 1 point.

How D'Antoni could sit still, he immediately requested a timeout, hoping to interrupt Kobe's fiery touch and make some targets.

At first, the strategy he thought of was naturally to double-team Kobe.

But soon, assistant coach Kidd reminded him: "Coach Mike, if we want to win, let Kobe score and cut off his connection with his teammates. All teams will do this when they play against them..."

Yes, Kidd is stating a fact.

And he has great experience playing the Lakers.

He was the main point guard for the Mavericks team that swept the Lakers in the playoffs last season.

D'Antoni naturally knew this truth, but he was still a little uncertain, so he glanced at Bai Feng and asked for his opinion: "Bai Feng, what do you think?"

Bai Feng shrugged his brows and said: "No need to double-team, as many points as Kobe can score, I can too!"

As soon as this word comes out, everyone is one!

It's special.

The special thing is that in their impression, Bai Feng seems to have never been so domineering.

From being unknown in the league at the beginning, to winning the FMVP last season, and leading the team alone this season, he has repeatedly performed against the sky.

Bai Feng's feeling to his teammates and coaching staff has always been "steady"

On the court, he did his best to do his own offensive and defensive tasks.

Off the court, he doesn't speak much.

It seems to be a master who has nothing to do with the world, calm, wise, and extraordinary!

But recently, when Bai Feng became the sole core of this Knicks team, things have slowly changed.

He started to speak up, started to encourage his teammates, started to lead by example, and started to look like a leader on the court!

In the first half tonight, Bai Feng was even more god-like, standing up and scoring 51 points!

The offensive skills have been greatly expanded, and the most important thing is that Bai Feng has emotions!

He used to be expressionless and meticulous most of the time on the court. After scoring some wonderful goals tonight, he will shout, laugh, and direct the steps of his teammates to retreat!

And now, Bai Feng, who is full of confidence, has spoken such confident words.

"Without double-teaming, as many points as Kobe can score, so can I!"

After hearing this sentence, everyone just felt extremely at ease.

They all looked at Bai Feng and nodded to him.

Soon, the timeout is over and the game is back.

Bai Feng immediately proved that his confidence was not groundless.

In the first round back on the court, Bai Feng used his body to lean on Sessions to reach the near basket area through subtle rhythm changes and skillful dribble singles.

He used fake moves to feint and scored 2 points.
