Chapter 245: Mir's Awakening

When you're running a team, a star, a team coach, a team manager, when you're really determined, it's actually very easy to deal with, but when you're dealing with a veteran who has worked for the Knicks for more than 30 years and has a meager salary for the players, you can't make rash decisions lightly.

Mir just set up a studio for the sake of the team's elite management and better management, and also for the arrangement of some old employees and loyal employees, I really didn't expect that the idea of the moment would really help me.

In fact, this alone makes Mir not apologize in public, but the smooth transactions after he got the team are important reasons for Mir to make up his mind and apologize to all the members of the coaching staff.

At the end of the day, Mir was a little too proud and inflated at the moment, forgetting the original purpose of the original trade when he traded players.

Jay was only here because Mir was a Blue Devils fan, and the team needed a bench scorer, a Jay who could be a star in the future, and Mill's idea at the time was to send away some players who were already in shape in exchange for a future star in the team.

In other words, Mir started with drafting, accumulation, self-cultivation, and if possible, attracting powerful stars to join, and then finally winning the championship.

The main reason for sending Arenas away was that what the team needed at that time was no longer a scoring machine, but a player who could bring players together, and what was needed was the player's organizational ability, and this is how Gong Feng, the new FMVP, came into Mir's eyes.

In the Union at the time. Organized. There are three points. There is also future potential, that is, Gong Feng can be traded, and the Wizards also need a scorer like Arenas, so the trade is available.

In Mir's view, Bow Peak's success just takes time, of course, with the struggling appearance of Bow Peak at that time, Mir will never think that Bow Summit will get any MVP again, or average 20 points per game. Most crucially, the trade for Gong Feng was due to another big deal on the team.

Because the team does need a player like Gong Feng who is good at organization and has great potential, but it is not that Mill does not want to pay Arenas a salary contract of nearly 10 million in the second year.

For Mir, the most important thing he doesn't want is that after paying such a salary, the team will continue to cultivate Arenas, so it is better to cultivate those scoring maniacs of the first round rookies in the class of '02!

The main point of trading to Bow Peak is actually because of the arrival of Allen and the return of Hill. Bow Peak has proven to be the most comfortable with this type of player.

The Knicks scored at the time, Small. Arenas, Yao Ming, Boozer or Miller, those are all players who are likely to average more than 20 points per game in the future, plus superstar Hill who has returned from injury, plus other role players, the Knicks will dominate the league?

Mir laughs when he thinks about it!

So how do you do it?

Of course, it is necessary to eliminate some unstable factors first, so conflicts with coaches, conflicts with players, complaints about this, complaints about that, complaining about why he is not the champion, but Xiao Si, who has no defensive ability, is the first object that Mir wants to clear.

And of course Mill wants what he wants, what is Marbury going to do, to snatch the ball with Hill? Allen, the league's top scorer with exemplary behavior and a lot of strength, is certainly the first target to be selected by Mir.

Speaking of Hill, to be honest, the first reason Mill came to Hill at that time was definitely not Hill's own strength, but to clear Houston's big contract beyond his ability as much as possible.

Houston's ability to average 23 points per game at that time was already secondary, Houston's contract was the biggest problem, and the Knicks had decided to get a good draft pick in a season, so they didn't care what their star looked like.

As for everything that has been paid for this trade, what kind of strong players like Kurt and Mark are very worthwhile in Mir's opinion, anyway, after two seasons, the Knicks got rid of all the garbage contracts, and the other point is to let their rookies grow faster.

As for trades like Camby, Mill is more about seeking a high draft pick, and the other point is to consider Camby's salary, injuries, and clearing the team's salary, as for getting the No. 7 pick, it is really an unexpected surprise.

Battier's trade is also because of this, no matter how good Marshall is, he is the No. 3 rookie in the draft that year, but his age is the focus of Mir's concern, unlike the Grizzlies who want to enter the playoffs, Mill still wants to win the championship, and Battier's modesty and strength, hard defense, and can continue to fight for his starters on the bench, which is what Mil values most.

As for trading Chauncy and the like, to be honest, what Mill wants is a high-ranking draft pick, and he didn't expect Chauncy to really play so well in the future, and that deal can't say who suffers and who takes advantage of it, and it's hard to say now, anyway, both sides benefit, and there is no need to emphasize who gets the benefits!

But Mir, who only followed some principles that many people didn't notice, suddenly found out in the playoffs last season that his team already had the prototype of a dynasty team, and the team's salary had been cleared, and the assistant coaches he found were so capable...... At this moment, Mir's true heart blossomed, and in the new season, he really wanted the ball to win the championship This model is arranged and implemented!

The players in the regular season were really good, and although D'Antoni's offensive and Thibodeau's defensive mode had some need to be adjusted, it was surprising that the players were trained in both modes with ease.

Gradually, the main players dominated at the beginning, and the bench continued to score in the back, which has become a model for the Knicks, causing Mill to focus more on how to make the Knicks themselves more profitable.

Mir even missed more than a dozen away games, allowing Thibodeau to replace him as the first assistant coach.

If other teams had turned the sky upside down and expressed dissatisfaction with Mir, but the Knicks' road trip was more about experimenting with tactics, and all the main players knew what they should do for the championship.

It wasn't until he came to the playoffs that Mill took all his mind back and listened to all the reports from all the assistant coaches, including the report about predicting the future of the team, which Mill saw and gave up.

Six of the league's top 30 players, all playing for the Knicks? How is this possible? After this game against the Pistons, Mir nodded affirmatively, indicating that the Knicks will indeed be like this in the future!

Now Mill has finally figured out that his team really has the best hope of getting the ring that Knicks players, fans, management, and Knicks everyone wants this year.

This time the apology is to show that I understand my situation!

Mir, who said sorry, didn't give everyone a time period to think about, but said directly: "Although I think it clearly now, I still need your help, since the team is ready now, will the next game against the Pistons still have to play like this?" ”

Thibodeau didn't say much when he heard this, today's Knicks did a very good job of defense, although in the late stage because of the increase in bench appearances, the Pistons caught up with some scores, but overall, the Knicks' defense is very good, and the Knicks are not responsible for the offensive part now.

After D'Antoni left, the Knicks were in charge of offensive tactics with Gentry, the former Pistons who had just come to the Knicks and Hill's head coach at the time.

"We have a lot of setups for the Knicks, but the Pistons are different, and if this game brings out the essential abilities of the players, why do they continue to suppress the instincts in their players' bodies? has come to the second round of the playoffs, these players must not want to continue to suppress themselves, what we have to do should be more to think about how to play their role together!
