Zach Randolph did not hesitate to rub salt in the wounds of his old club.

He is now a notorious villain. Over the past week, he's been in the limelight. Not only did he throw Tom Brady into the pool, but he also talked about going face-to-face with Kevin Garnett, and at the same time... He also responded to Terrence, the Patriots' sharpener known for his physical condition: If you want to fight, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, whether it's in Boston or New York, as long as you have a location, I'll be there at any time.

He is known by many media as the Rodman of the new era, and the taciturn Eddie Griffin is known as the thug Oakley.

"I give the middle finger to the Portlanders who say Bruce Lee is just a playboy who doesn't know basketball or what it means to be handsome. They only know how to hide in dark corners, pick up pen and paper, and scribble reports to please local fans, and they never open their eyes to the world. They think that if they close their eyes and ears, the world will revolve around them. ”

"The problem with the Portland Trail Blazers is that they have the worst management and team doctors in the world, but they don't have any self-knowledge of themselves."

"I'm grateful to Dade for trading me, and I wouldn't be where I am today without them."

"Brandon Roy is a good player, but he's never going to be able to catch Bruce Lee."

"Greg Oden had better turn down Portland's medical team or he won't have a bright future."

"Of course I'm going to be going to be strong on Sunday night, it couldn't have been easier for me."

Zach was in the face of the Portland media gushing about the pain points of Portlanders, and he was not afraid to anger his old club at all.

He is now completely free of himself, and he has never worried about making too many enemies.

Isaiah Thomas is a firm supporter of this. But D'Antoni has a lot of complaints, he is a very traditional manager, and he wants all the players to keep a low profile, play well and not make some messy news.

In a sense, he even thinks he's seen Bruce Lee too many times on entertainment channels.

So, when Zach Randolph's statements in the media were seen by him on television, and he found that Portland was in turmoil.

He even made this decision while the players were having breakfast: "Otherwise... Zach should rest for this game, we shouldn't focus on the disputes off the pitch. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, almost the players at the table looked at D'Antoni strangely.

D'Antoni realized then that he might have said the wrong thing.

The main reason why he made this decision was that he wanted to hone and hone his run-and-gun lineup again, and as the head coach of the run-and-bomb, he was not very happy to take the clumsy running of the two big fat men of Zach and Eddie Curry. The secondary reason is that Zach is making too much noise.

"I'm worried about accidents on the pitch. Those angry fans can easily behave irrationally. ”

D'Antoni explained.

Li Zhen frowned, and for the first time, he felt that D'Antoni might not be a good fit to be the head coach of this team.

The Knicks are now a team of lions and wolves, but D'Antoni is lacking in spirit.

Stephen Marbury stood up directly, and he said very directly: "No matter what Zach says, what kind of controversy he causes." First and foremost, he's a Knicks player. What's more... When our opponents wantonly humiliate our leaders, if no one stands up, it proves that we are not a fighting team at all. ”

"I'm adamantly against freezing Zach's playing time at this time. This is an act of capitulation and I cannot accept it. ”

"From ancient times to the present, it is not advisable to seek unity through compromise. Respect is earned by playing. ”

Stephen Marbury always brings a solid theoretical basis to the team.

D'Antoni fidgeted for a moment, especially when Zach Randolph's burning gaze swept over.

He felt... It's very different here than Phoenix. He even dared to say with certainty that if Bruce Lee hadn't been sitting here, and he himself had just said that, Zach Randolph would never have sat there quietly, and he would have slapped the table and jumped up to argue with himself.

When D'Antoni was difficult to ride the tiger, Li Zhen finally spoke and eased his cheeks: "Zach will play as a substitute." ”

His compromise sentence resolved the impasse.

Now, he is the only one who can hold down these mountains inside the Knicks.

Although D'Antoni is the head coach, he has no control over Zach Randolph, Eddie Griffin, Eddie Curry, or even Crawford, Marbury, Jeffries and others.

The only one who listened to him was David Lee.

However, David Lee also followed Li Zhen's instructions.

Essentially, this team is more like Bruce's team than D'Antoni's.

D'Antoni had discussed a trade with Isaiah Thomas two days earlier, and he wanted to trade Zach Randolph and Eddie Curry, who were not suitable for the run. But Isaiah Thomas's answer to him was: we had to ask Bruce's permission. And we don't want to upset him by trading Randolph.

D'Antoni was a little devastated.

The new season had just begun, and he realized that he was constrained at every turn. Despite his close relationship with Bruce, Lee Jin always maintains enough respect for him, while also assisting him in managing the locker room where the demons are dancing.

But... This is still a far cry from what he expected to create another run-and-gun legend.

Am I not a good fit for the Knicks?

For the first time, D'Antoni felt such anxiety in his heart.

Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan, by contrast, has never had that anxiety. The 2-1 record at the start of the season made him feel very good, and he even thought that Greg Oden's season reimbursement would not affect the Trail Blazers' playoff market this year, because Roy and Aldridge have grown rapidly.

Therefore, he denounced Zach Randolph in front of the media, saying that he couldn't support the wall in the mud, and he always only knew how to destroy the atmosphere of the team, and there was no collective concept at all.

At the same time, he also mentioned the contrast between Brandon Roy and Lee Zhen again. He repeatedly emphasized: "Roy is shy by nature and does not like to be public. He is a very different player from Bruce Lee, who makes headlines every day. But anyone who knows a little bit about basketball knows that Roy's future is brighter than Bruce Lee's. Most of his type of point guards are starting as centers and then quickly falling. And Roy will always be strong, and he will most likely become a historic scoring guard after Kobe. His current nickname of Yellow Mamba is proof of this, have you ever heard of someone asking Bruce Lee to be the second magician? ”

Portland always likes to compare Lee to Roy.

But actually, at the same time that Nate McMillan said that, Lee was really heading out with Brandon Roy in Rose Garden.

Their relationship has always been good.
