Chapter 1077
"It was a tough decision to leave the Knicks, and I don't want to blame anyone, because I had a good time with the Knicks. Now it's just that I'm really not suitable for this team, and my ability doesn't allow me to control this team anymore. ”
'Leaving is a good result for me and for the team, we parted peacefully. There's nothing unpleasant going on here, and I can only send my best wishes to the Knicks and hope that they can go far in the new season and fulfill our desire to defend the title. ”
When the media interviewed Lamar about this matter, Lamar's evaluation of Jeff Van Gundy was much more meaningful, and Lamar just said: "He's a good guy!"
On the team's question, Lamar's answer remained firm: "Those guys who want to bargain on us, you can put down their thoughts. We're still the same bandits we were from last season, we're still the strongest team in the league, and we're still going to beat them to the point where there's no scum left!"
After Jeff Van Gundy's departure, the biggest concern was who would take over as head coach of the Knicks.
Of course, no matter who sits in this position, the most important thing is to get Lamar's recognition.
The most popular candidate among them is the NCAA coach who has a very cordial relationship with Lamar.
Coach K can be said to be the Bole of Lamarn. When Lamar was in trouble with the Knicks, it was Coach K who showed up in time to help Lamar. And during his time with the national team, Lamar also had a very pleasant experience working with Coach K, who is an assistant coach.
Although Coach K's ability has not been shown in the NBA, Coach K's brilliant NCAA resume is definitely intimidating for those contenders.
Of course, in addition to Coach K, the Knicks have many candidates, and there are many excellent candidates. For example, Cheeks, who just got out of the Philadelphia 76ers, and former Houston Rockets head coach Tomjanovic who has been at home for a long time due to physical reasons.
Just when people started guessing, the time for the Knicks' second game had arrived.
On November 4, 2004, the Knicks started again and they will travel to the Miami Heat on the road.
On the day of the game, the Knicks suddenly announced their new head coach.
Coach K surprisingly became the new head coach of the Knicks, and people were amazed at this result and felt taken for granted.
The amazing reason is that although Coach K is one of the best coaches in the NCAA, he has never coached any team in the NBA in his career.
And at this time, Coach K had not yet served as the head coach of the U.S. national team, and neither his prestige nor fame could be compared with later generations.
The most important thing is that the current Knicks are like a swamp, and there is really no need for Coach K to risk a comeback and ruin his future.
I take it for granted because there really isn't anyone who is suitable for the Knicks' head coach other than Coach K, who is really not worthy of the position of Knicks head coach. After all, the head coach the Knicks are looking for now is not a nanny coach like Van Gundy, and he must be able to hold Lamar down.
While people were amazed, Coach K ascended to the throne of the Knicks head coach and became the second head coach after Van Gundy, the founder of the Knicks dynasty.
"I'm very excited to be in the NBA and take on a new challenge! The Knicks are a great team and they have a lot of super players. Lamar is an amazing player and it was a pleasure to work with him. I'm sure we'll have a great time. ”
"The Knicks are in trouble? No, I don't think so. Even if they were bulls in the early days, they would lose. Losing is perfectly normal for every team and it's not a big deal. I'm sure the Knicks will get back on the right track. ”
Coach K joined the Knicks, and Lamar was already in Miami when he found out. Lamar welcomed Coach K with joy: "He's a great coach and everyone respects him for what he's done in the NCAA. I'm looking forward to him bringing something a little different to the Knicks and looking forward to working together!"
Everything was like a blitzkrieg, with Jeff Van Gundy out of class and Coach K on top. All of this was done in just two days, and to people's surprise, the Knicks had completed the change of dynasty.
The home of the Miami Heat, inside the away locker room.
Lamar and his teammates finally met their new head coach, Coach K, ahead of the game.
Seeing that the players were all looking at him curiously, Coach K simply stood up and walked to the center of the locker room, turned around with open arms, and then began to introduce himself: "Don't worry! I'm the real Shakshewski, not a spy sent by Miami!"
Coach K's humorous speech suddenly made the atmosphere in the locker room a lot more relaxed. Lamar also has a new understanding of the familiar coach.
The coach is not only very good at tactics, but also very accomplished in language arts, and very good at mobilizing the morale of the players.
"All right, young people. It's not the time to study me, we have a game to play now. The first thing we have to do is kill them, or the people who are waiting to see our jokes will have another excuse to laugh at us. ”
"I don't want to be targeted by that teacher's farting donkey, and I don't think you want to give him that chance again!" Coach K didn't explain tonight's tactics as soon as he came up, but teased his own players.
Seeing that the expressions of the players were still a little solemn, Coach K had no choice but to continue to say in a relaxed tone: "Guys, relax a little." It's not a big deal, we did lose the last game, but that's the beauty of the NBA. If the outcome of each game is known before it even starts, then the NBA is meaningless. Now, all we have to do is give our all to win every game!"
"I remember that there was once a famous NBA coach who said a sentence, and later this sentence seems to have become the NBA's wise saying, do you remember?"
Lamar also stood up, looked at Coach K and said, "Never despise the heart of a champion?!"
Coach K is also very happy that Lamar can take the initiative to stand up, and the reason why he agreed to join the Knicks is because of Lamar here.
Coach K admires Lamar very much, and the coach has always believed that Lamar is the only player in the NBA who can be better than Jordan. In order to be able to coach Lamar, Coach K even recklessly invited Lamar to his own Duke to train during Lamar's suspension.
Now that the opportunity to coach Lamar again has presented itself, Coach K certainly doesn't want to miss it. And if you want to really sit in the position of Knicks head coach, getting Lamar's support and recognition is obviously the most important thing.
"That's right, never take a champion's heart lightly!" Coach K said suddenly, "Boys, remember that you are the defending champions! Sitting in this position you are destined to endure everyone's challenges, and all you have to do is do your best to solve every opponent, prove it to everyone, and let them know that you are worthy of the championship!"
"Today is the best opportunity, the Miami Heat are strong, they have one of the best attackers in the league, Eddie Jones, and Shaq O'Neal, a super center who changed the rules of the NBA. And, of course, Chris Bosh, who they lean on at the core. There is no doubt that they are all good players and very strong. ”
"All you have to do today is step on their corpses and make them feel in awe of us and know that the New York Knicks are not easy to bully. We admit the defeat in the last game, but we are more hungry to win the next game. ”
Coach K's words instantly filled every Knicks player with fighting spirit, and everyone couldn't wait to get on the court at the moment and prove their strength to people.
Then Coach K saw that the time had come and immediately began to lay out his tactics. As he explained, Lamar became more and more surprised, is this still the old K coach he is familiar with? Is this still the NCAA coach who has made teamwork the highest goal at Duke University?
Because in Coach K's tactics, the team is required to revolve around him almost all the time. What team basketball, what more flowers, no matter how much coach K's heart becomes unimportant. What he wants is to build a team that is completely centered around Lamar, a new tactic that always puts Lamar at the center.
When it was time for the players to come on, Lamar deliberately fell behind, and he could feel that Coach K still had something to say to him.
Sure enough, after the teammates went out, Coach K came over with a smile on his face and said to Lamar: "Lamar, I believe in your ability, and I believe that we can work together very well, don't let me down!"
Lamar smiled happily, and then said with great confidence: "Don't worry, coach, I won't let you down, and of course I will never let anyone down!"
Coach K nodded and gave Lamar a thumbs up. He's not like a lot of other managers who have a year of inviolability in their philosophy and don't like having privileged players on their squad. The most famous of these are Larry Brown and Zhuge Vic.
But Coach K is different, he is like an ancient Chinese sage, he adheres to a concept of inclusiveness, he knows how to be flexible, so he can use the power of privileged players very well, and finally transform this power into the victory of his team.
Players from both sides on the pitch have already stepped into the pitch and the attendance for the match is very high. This is still a very rare phenomenon in the last two seasons, and it is clear that these people want to see how their teams repair the incredible Knicks on their own doorstep. 2k reading web
