The New York Knicks have been desperate this season, and of course they have made people desperate many times since the beginning of the 21st century.

Originally, many fans thought that the legendary coach Phil. Jackson becoming the team's general manager can bring the poor Knicks back to life, and who knows that they will still be waiting for failure, chaos and hollowness.

Frequent injuries to the main lineup, unclear team tactics, and a depressed and lazy atmosphere in the dressing room...... All of this has allowed the Knicks to constantly expose their depravity and weakness to the outside world. It is not uncommon to see this team, after being pulled away by the opposition, from the starters to the bench, as if they have no heart on the field, allowing the opponent to wreak havoc in their half. Even if the manager yells and reprimands with all his might, it will not have any effect, and the players on the field are like walking corpses, without any desire to win**.

Cameron. Anthony, a super small forward who has been selected as an All-Star eight times, is now the only star on the New York Knicks who can attract attention. But in Addison's view, the All-Star small forward and the leader of the Knicks is the culprit who has put the team in a state of depression.

Admittedly, Anthony has a lot of offensive ability and outrageous offensive skills, and his individual ability is definitely superstar-level. But other than that, Cameron. Anthony hardly has a single indicator of a team leader, and even a lot of his habits are guiding the team downhill.

First and foremost is Anthony's defensive attitude on the court, which Anthony has hardly shown on the court since entering the NBA. Nuggets George. Carl blamed Anthony for his defensive attitude many times, but it didn't work. Until Chauncey. Billups came to the Nuggets and brought excellent defensive habits and defensive awareness to the team, which allowed the team to build a basic defensive system. That season, the Nuggets made it to the Western Conference Finals.

In his first season with the Knicks, Billups moved with Anthony, and he still helped build Anthony's defensive awareness on the team. Then Billups was cut by the Knicks, and the Knicks' defensive efficiency fell to the bottom that season, but then Jeremy Lin's sudden rise brought unprecedented offensive and defensive enthusiasm to the team, and a wave of consecutive wins rushed into the playoffs. However, during the period when the team was improving by leaps and bounds, Anthony was absent due to injury.

In the 2012-13 season, Jeremy Lin left Houston, and the 39-year-old Jason Lee. Kidd comes to the Knicks. The master of the court reinstilled team spirit and the importance of defense in his own way, and the Knicks came close to reaching the Eastern Conference Finals that season.

But after that, without Billups, Jeremy Lin, Kidd and other players who can make a huge positive impact on the team, everyone knows what the Knicks have quickly degenerated......

Superficially, Cameron. Anthony's lazy defensive attitude and awareness affected the whole team, causing his team to collapse all defenses at once if there was no one else to instill defensive awareness. But digging into the roots, the question isn't just about the defense, it's about whether Anthony can bring motivation to the team.

Single-odd 03 Golden Generation to parallel comparison, LeBron. James, Dwyane. Wade and even Chris. Bosh, when they were each team leaders, was trying to make a positive impact on the team. But Cameron. Anthony wasn't, not even George. Karl himself said that Anthony doesn't bring much positivity to the team, but he can cause chaos and negativity in the locker room.

Today's New York Knicks are a team that has rotted to the bone, and this rot cannot be solved by making a few trades. And the source of this decay is, in Addison's opinion, Cameron. Anthony.

Anthony and Jeremy Lin are two opposite players, Jeremy Lin has the personality and temperament to be a leader, but he lacks the individual ability and skills that some leader-level players should have; Cameron. There is nothing wrong with Anthony's individual ability, but he doesn't have the heart to be a leader, which can have a negative effect on the atmosphere in the team's dressing room.

A lot of people say Phil. Jackson has done nothing since he became the general manager of the Knicks, in fact, this old and spicy manager has long seen that the black hole of the Knicks can no longer be made up for through trades. Anthony is away from the team, and the Knicks will never have a chance to improve.

That's why 'Zen Master' has been trying to trade Cameron for a few seasons in office. Anthony, but he still couldn't win against Anthony, who has deep roots in New York and has the veto power in the deal......

Dwyane before the game. Wade and Anthony warmly embraced each other, and the two '03 standouts have a deep friendship and often go on vacations together in the offseason.

No matter how much Addison had a personal opinion of Anthony, he would not show it on such an occasion. He simply didn't get involved in the past at all, instead supervising Whiteside's warm-up practice at the Heat's half. The young center stood at the free-throw line and threw a ball at the basket, and Addison asked him not to jump up when he shot.

That's right, Whiteside is practicing free throws. Since he was heavily affected by the opponent's foul tactics in the last game, the Heat's uniform team has focused on training Whiteside's free throws, and the assistant coach Zhu Wan is in charge of his training. Howard.

Strange to say, even when Whiteside was tired of this boring free throw training during team training, he occasionally lazied because he was bored with this kind of boring free throw training, and when he was urged by Addison to warm up for free throws before the game, he didn't have any resistance, and he was always there to practice with a serious expression.

Addison had his own calculations, and he didn't want Whiteside to become DeAndrew. Jordan is the type who will always be haunted by foul play. Whiteside has so much potential that he shouldn't be developed as a defensive centre-forward at all. This young interior has both low-post offensive ability and high-level half-volley ability, but now his skills are unstable, and they are still in a state that has not been vigorously explored.

Addison hopes that through training and his constant feeding on the field, Whiteside will gradually develop his full talent. And if you want to be a well-rounded center, you can't be shackled by free throws, and Whiteside will need to at least increase his free throw shooting percentage to around 70% this season.

While the Chinese point guard was thinking, Whiteside slowly relaxed the frequency of his practice, looked around with a smile, and by the way, James . Ennis quipped. Addison came back to his senses and saw that the guy was lazy again, and he clapped his hands vigorously to get Whiteside's attention, then pouted at the basket.

The Heat center's face turned bitter, but he didn't dare to refute anything, so he had to rededicate himself to practice.

"I have only one request for this match, to win it!" After the team returned to the locker room after the warm-up, Spoelstra said in a firm tone, "If you can't even win this rotten team, I promise to propose to the management to trade you all!" ”

Instead of being embarrassed by the head coach's words, the Heat players burst into laughter. Arrogance is naturally not a good thing, but against an opponent like the Knicks, Miamins have absolute confidence.

The starting point of this game for the Knicks is center Jason. Smith, power forward Cole. Aldridge, small forward Cameron. Anthony, shooting guard Tim Jr. Hardaway and point guard Jose. Calderon.

On the Heat's side, Ruhr. Deng has returned from illness and returned to the starting lineup. Whiteside, Bosh, Deng, Wade and Addison, this lethal regular lineup has made Knicks head coach Derrick Brown. Fisher was nervous, he really didn't have much confidence in this match.

Whiteside easily jumped over Jason. Smith, there is not a single bit of suspense. After receiving the basketball, Addison did not take the half court steadily as usual, but just crossed the halfcourt line and immediately picked up the speed!

Jose was about to catch up. Calderón was taken aback, the Spaniard was not fast enough when he was young, and his explosiveness weakened to a certain extent after the age of thirty. Addison didn't change direction, and just accelerated past Calderon and into the three-point line.

The Knicks' defense at this moment is equivalent to nothing, Cameron. Anthony stood on the flank, and Hardaway Jr. couldn't react. Neither of the two inside lines had landed in the box, and Addison had already made it into the paint zone by the time they were ready to chase the defense.

The Chinese point guard rushed two steps to the free throw line, his muscular legs stretched out and burst out with strong force, and the falcon jumped into the air!

A powerful tomahawk-style one-handed clasp! At this point, the game time has just run out of less than 5 seconds!
