Chapter 152: Depressed Anthony

"See, Anthony is not his opponent at all, he is too slow!" The Chinese boy surnamed Lei shouted triumphantly.

"I see, man, maybe I should buy one of his jerseys!" The white teenager next to him also looked at Li Mojie who was dunking on the court with an excited face.

"You can't stop me!" Li Mojie did not show weakness after the dunk, and directly sprayed back, he didn't care who Anthony was, he didn't think much of this pseudo-giant when he was a fan in his previous life.

"This rookie!" How many years, how many years, how many years, a rookie who was so arrogant as soon as he debuted, it seems that he only appeared in the 03 session of the year, he and James were not even cold to Larry Brown in the national team at that time, and now there is another Li Mojie? Anthony's mustache moved as his face became more and more gloomy.

"Cameron, keep up with Marc Lee, don't let him run past you easily......" Knicks head coach Mike Woodson shouted at Carmelo Anthony as he stood on the sidelines anxiously after seeing the goal.

On March 15, 2012, it was reported that D'Antoni, the head coach of the New York Knicks, was about to leave. After Mike D'Antoni leaves, Mike Woodson, an assistant coach who previously coached the Atlanta Hawks, will become the Knicks' interim head coach. In the opinion of owner Dolan, there is still a lot of hope for the team this season. 'I believe in our players, I believe in our talent, I believe we have the talent and character to succeed and I believe we can do that.' Dolan said confidently. "At the same time, I hope that the team can come together to get through the current difficult time."

Woodson served as an assistant coach for the Bucks from 1996 to 1999, and then he went on to the Cavaliers (1999 to 2001), 76ers (2001 to 2003) and Pistons (2004 to 2005). In 2003-04, when Woodson was an assistant coach to the Pistons, the Pistons won the championship that season. Finally, Woodson established himself in Atlanta, where he coached the Hawks for six seasons (2005 to 2011).

Woodson has a long history with the Rockets, and after retiring from the game, Woodson began his coaching career, having played for the Cavaliers and Bucks as an assistant coach. While working as an assistant coach with the Pistons in 2003-04, Woodson learned how to coach an NBA team from then-coach Larry Brown, and in May 2004, the Hawks hired Woodson as the team's head coach, making him the 10th head coach since the Hawks moved to Atlanta in 1968.

In 2004, Brown was able to command the Pistons to defeat the Lakers to win the championship, and Woodson's contribution cannot be ignored. Woodson learned more about the team's defense under Brown, and during his time at the Hawks, Woodson used his experience in passing on the Pistons' successful defensive experience to his own players to lead the Hawks out of trouble and back into the East. In May 2010, after the Hawks were swept by the Magic, the team fired Woodson.

Woodson faced a similar situation in 2004 when he first took charge of the Hawks during his six-season coaching career, when the Hawks were also a talented young team. Under his leadership, the Hawks' record has improved for five consecutive years, from 13 wins at the beginning to 53 wins at the end, and they have made the playoffs three times, gradually evolving into a first-class team in the East. He led the Hawks to a 286-206 record, a 41.9 percent win rate, and an 11-18 record in the playoffs, a 37.9 percent win rate. In his final three seasons in charge of the Eagles, the Eagles had a record of 37 wins, 47 wins and 53 wins.

After Dedantoni's departure in the 2011-2012 season, Woodson coached the remaining 24 games, with a winning percentage of 75.0%, and in the 2013-2013 season, he won 54 of his 82 games with the Knicks, a winning percentage of 65.9%.

But this season, when Woodson was full of expectations and wanted to lead the Knicks out of the East, fate played a big joke on him, the Knicks, who were still second in the West last year, went straight to the lottery this year, although he kept claiming in front of the media that there was still a chance, but he didn't know the situation in the team? There are many factions in the team, and the team boss Anthony doesn't look like a leader at all, but he doesn't miss any of the bad things like going to nightclubs, missing training, and being late, how can this make the rest of the team not learn from the boss?

"Alas, I hope the Zen master can look at my record in the last two years, and let me take it for another year!" Woodson thought to himself.

Carmelo Anthony was unhappy with Mike Woodson for publicly pointing out his wrong behavior, and right, he didn't even look down on D'Antony, who was once the best coach in the past, let alone the unknown Woodson?

In fact, so far this season, it was the big thorn J.R. Smith who said justice to Woodson: "I think he can fix these problems," Smith said, "and he's in a tough situation right now." He puts the blame and the pressure on himself. I think we players should take some of the pressure off him. Because, the coach can't get on the court to play, he can't grab rebounds or shoot, that's our job. So when the team doesn't play well, we should stand up and admit the mistake. ”

At the same time, Smith also admitted that he was worried that Woodson would eventually lose his job due to the Knicks' poor performance.

"Yes, there is no doubt (I am worried about his work). I think in this situation, as a player you have to look at yourself and understand that the coach has done everything he can. ”

Coming to the frontcourt, Anthony continued to ask Raymond Filton for the ball. Anthony once again made a triple threat pose.

Li Mojie learned the lesson of the last defensive failure and took half a step forward.

Cameron. Anthony saw Li Mojie take a step forward, and immediately made a change of direction in front of his body, wanting to break through from Li Mojie's side.

"Cameron's first step!"

Everyone knows that Maddie and Wade's first steps are fast, but few people know that Anthony's first steps when he was young (mainly when he was with the Nuggets) were also amazingly fast, and Anthony, who had just debuted at that time, not only beat all the NCAA invincible opponents after the trial step, but few people in the league could guard against him.

This time Cameron. Anthony felt that Li Mojie would definitely not have time to block his breakthrough, and if Li Mojie insisted on blocking his breakthrough, he would definitely be sentenced to a blocking foul.

What he didn't expect was that Li Mojie blocked his breakthrough without fouling.

"So fast!"

In this case Cameron. Anthony immediately opted for a pull-up jumper. Seeing this scene, Li Mojie immediately stretched out his arm and jumped up.

"Dang!" Under the interference of Li Mojie, Carmelo Anthony's shot smashed into the basket.

"Is he too fast? No, his speed is not much different from LeBron's back then, yes, am I slowing down? Anthony glanced at the swaying flesh on his arm and recalled with chagrin.
