The roller coaster is one of the most creative inventions in human history, and its appearance has created many modifications, the most often used of which is that the result of such and such a roller coaster is like a roller coaster. That's a very graphic adjective, especially now on our defending champion, the New York Knicks.

"New York Loses Again"

Where's Our Nix? 》

"Who is the culprit of the Knicks' loss"

……

James Dolan looked angrily at the newspapers on his desk, perhaps angry at the team's current record, perhaps angry at the cynicism of these media, or angry at the young man in front of him.

No, the person in front of him can no longer be called a young man at this time, although he is still smiling after the age of confusion, but obviously, this cannot hide the vicissitudes of his body.

Isaiah "The Smiling Assassin" Thomas is sitting in front of James Dolan with a smile on his face, just as he did on the court years ago.

"My dear Dolan, it doesn't seem like you're in a good mood right now, just like the weather in New York." Isaiah Thomas teased James Dolan with a playful and unbridled teasing.

"Hmph, Thomas, I let you in my office for the sake of the Red Gang's face, if you don't have anything important, please go out first!" James Dolan is in an extremely bad mood.

I can't imagine that the championship team that was invincible suddenly entered a strange rhythm, the Knicks are currently 17-17, only ranked fourth in the East, especially in recent times, the Knicks have not won in a row, but often have three consecutive defeats, four consecutive defeats, and then as if to comfort him, suddenly burst out to win a game.

Thomas didn't want his hard-won opportunity to slip away like this, he hurriedly calmed James Dolan's anger and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I didn't mean anything else, I also brought you a gift." Thomas pulled out a box from the box behind him and handed it to Dolan.

James Dolan opened it, looked at it, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You know, I haven't touched it in years. ”

Thomas smiled and said, "Of course, I know, it's just a small gift to ask for the right to give me ten minutes to speak." ”

James Dolan was silent, put the box away, looked at Thomas, his eyes narrowed, and said, "So, do you have a way to get my team out of the current situation?" ”

Thomas laughed when he heard this, and said: "In fact, in this league, as long as there are two brushes, everyone knows what the Knicks should do now, in fact, you also know, but he has never crossed your bottom line, hasn't he?" ”

Change the boss! The first term that comes to James Dolan's mind is this, it's not that he hasn't thought about it, it's just that Van Gundy, as the head coach who coached the Knicks to win the championship last season, Dolan still has a certain patience with him at some times, not to mention that the team's current record is still passable, and it is not lower than Dolan's mental position, and the Knicks win one game from time to time, and also beat another championship favorite San Antonio Spurs, Dolan feels that the team has not yet reached the point of changing the coach.

Looking at Dolan's uncertain face, Thomas couldn't guess Dolan's thoughts at this time, and he said, "Then, just listen to my thoughts!" In fact, Van Gundy did not do anything wrong, he is a good coach, but he is not suitable for the current Knicks. Since the Knicks selected Ewing and Pitino coached, the Knicks have always been known to the outside world as a steely defensive team, and in the Pat Riley period, it reached its peak, even the old Nelson failed to change this style, and defense has become a term that has been engraved in the Knicks' bones, and now Van Gundy is also a master figure in adjusting defense. But the problem is that the Knicks don't lack this, and New York fans don't like to see it. ”

As he listened, Dolan's eyes suddenly widened and he seemed to know something that Thomas was going to say, but it really piqued his interest.

Thomas continued with great interest: "Look at the current configuration of the Knicks, a super center with an average of 30+10+5 per game, although it has recently been used as 26+10+3 and an average of 3 turnovers per game, but you can't deny that the strength of Mo Xi is still unstoppable, and then you have a 20+10 champion show, of course, in this period of continuous losses, his performance is not very good, 8+8 Elton Brand is no different from ordinary blue-collar workers, followed by Sprewell, I think you are also aware of his decline, although it seems that he is voluntary, but watching a guy who averages 18+ per game become a shooter who averages 8 points per game, I think this feeling must not be good, even Houston's scoring is declining, he is now only averaging 12 points per game, Arenas is good, averaging 15+5 per game, but it seems that he is also the reason for the uneven distribution of Knicks' shots. ”

Dolan doesn't know much about the ball, but he still understands something, what Thomas said, he combined with their recent performance on the court, and found that it was really like this, this time, Dolan's interest was really raised.

The more Thomas said, the brighter his eyes became, and he said: "In fact, I think that the current Knicks should be the most suitable for fast-paced basketball, the entire starting lineup, even if it is the highest Moxi, his speed is not something that ordinary forwards can keep up with, maybe Brand is a little slower, but his soft touch can make the Knicks have more space, and the Knicks' backcourt is undoubted, in terms of the speed of advancement, even the Kings are a little inferior, the Knicks are fast, but why do you have to play slow basketball?" Just because that's tradition? Come on, Dolan! The best way to prove that you are better than others is to beat someone who is considered strong, even if he is your ex. And, think about it, why did New York bring in Pat Riley back then? Don't you just want New York to play 'sho time'? Now the opportunity is right in front of you, Dolan. ”

Thomas's tone was full of temptation, as if he were a devil luring mortals away from heaven and toward sin.

Dolan began to hesitate, he asked: "I am really interested in what you said, but I hope you can have something more practical, you know, although you are a championship player, your coaching ability is not reassuring. ”

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dolan relent, and he knew that by this point, he had succeeded.

Thomas said, "No, no, no, you're wrong, I'm just here to apply for a manager." As he spoke, Thomas took out two brown paper bags from his bag and continued, "These are some of my thoughts on the Knicks' next and some guy's thoughts on the Knicks' tactics with a coach. ”

Dolan accepted the two brown paper bags with a blank face, but he didn't look through them immediately, but waved his hand and began to send off the guests, he said, "Okay, Mr. Isaiah, your time is up, I will take a closer look at what you left behind." ”

With a malicious smile on his face, Thomas got up and left.

Dolan couldn't refuse, but a businessman is a businessman after all, and he always has to play some tricks, but Thomas is not a good man and a woman, and next, he has to do another thing.
