At the beginning, Mir took the initiative to say that this game was his own responsibility, because he was not ready to play with the Lakers, and he did not expect the Lakers to fight at the beginning stage.

Jackson listened to the pitch without any rebuttal, and there was no way for the reporters to find another spot from either team.

……

In this first game, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was all in the calculations of the Lakers, but Mir and all his assistant coaches did not come up with a very good solution after studying for a long time.

Because all the Lakers' offense starts from their own unsolvable point, as long as they can solve this unsolvable point, they will naturally win, but if they can't solve this unsolvable point, the Knicks are not 100% sure of what to do.

Unless it's to take advantage of some factors that can't be controlled by the Knicks, it's just too difficult for that!

After the game, Mill stayed up all night with all the assistant coaches, and in the end they did not agree on all opinions, and there was a very big dispute between Thibodeau and Gentry, and even quarreled at the most emotional.

This is the most incompetent place for Mir now, if Mir is a senior basketball coach, he can completely rely on his own ability to unify the voice of the team, but in terms of Mir's ability and prestige now, although he cuts any Knicks player coach, no one will squeak, but it is not so easy to get the players to completely believe that he will play for him.

Malone, Hill, and Allen don't really think that Mir will be a qualified head coach from the bottom of their hearts, even if they really obey Mir's orders on the surface, they may not necessarily think anything in their hearts when they actually play the game, even if they follow Mir's complete orders to play, if this game is still lost.

At that time, Mir will bear an exponential increase, although no one will compete with him for the position of manager, but the position of head coach is not necessarily.

Thinking of this, Mir felt uncomfortable and took out a cigarette, thinking about how he should survive this small crisis safely.

……

When Bow Peak stood up, he was really startled, because Mir had already stayed outside for a long time, just to wait for Bow Peak to stand up.

Looking at the bow peak in his pajamas, rubbing his eyes and yawning, Mir's deep dark circles were even more terrifying.

"I'll go, you don't sleep in your own house this morning, what are you waiting for me here for?"

"I'm the Knicks leader and I'm sorry for you!" Mir's expression was not joking at all.

"Apologize? Oh...... But you're my manager, what do you need to apologize for? It's just inexplicable...... I think you feel like you can't control the pitch and need the help of our players? Or is there anything else you'd like to do? ”

"Am I still a good manager? I didn't feel much in the regular season, and I didn't feel much in the first three rounds, but in the finals I realized that my previous success was based on the beach! ”

"I don't have any opinion on this, but based on our performance this year, it's really a shame not to win the championship."

"Yes, if Hill and Aaron weren't in their prime, and you people were just newcomers, with one person as the absolute core, I wouldn't have encountered such an embarrassment, but now? I've tasted the bitter fruit! ”

"If the Knicks don't get where they are today, you're just going to be loved by a lot of people as a manager, and you just want other honors! As for the rest, you're really thinking a little too much, and if you don't have these players in your hands, we're not necessarily far from the championship! ”

"Cut, now it's time for you to tell me the truth...... Let's talk about it first, since I was the first to find you, not counting your identity as a player, is there anything you can say to me as a friend? ”

"As a friend, I can only support you from the heart!"

Hearing this, Mill pouted and looked at Gong Feng very cutely...... When Gong Feng saw such a mir, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh...... In fact, this is Mir's instinct, when he is in trouble, his strong intuitive ability can find a point to break the deadlock for him, and Mir now trusts his instincts very much.

"Okay, I'm convinced! Rest assured, you did that in the stadium you didn't make me hate you, and it wasn't necessarily the fault of you and me in the circumstances, so put this matter aside, so as the one who solved the trouble, could you tell me first, what you need to solve? ”

Mir, who immediately returned to his original state, looked around, looked at the items around him, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, Mir returned to his original state and said: "Thibodeau thinks we need to strengthen the intensity of defense, drag the rhythm of the game into an extremely slow rhythm, strengthen the interference with O'Neal, choose a single defensive measure for Kobe, and tightly defend the space within the three-point line." ”

"Gentry raised objections to this defensive method, no matter what, the Lakers have three-point shooters, Fisher, Wang Zhizhi have strong three-point ability, such a defense, the Knicks' own offense will also be interfered with, in Gentry's view, what the team needs is to strengthen the rotation offense, let the Lakers follow behind our ass to catch up, can't lose the initiative on the court to the Lakers, let the actual performance of the Lakers players dominate the current situation."

"You also know the current situation of the Knicks assistant coaches, both of them want to attack each other's positions, both want to show a strong side in front of me, and I don't want to resign as head coach yet!"

Mil rambled on and on and on, and everything the Knicks looked like was on the premise of winning, and losing one or two games in the regular season was not a big deal.

But in the playoffs, the Knicks, who have only lost one game in three rounds, have stood on the cusp of the real storm, even if Mill's prestige in the Knicks has not decreased much, but the voices of doubts about his coaching ability will continue to accumulate.

In a place like New York, either you can quickly become a god and become the envy of everyone, or you will immediately go to hell, and the Knicks will inevitably be affected by all aspects in an impetuous city like New York.

After saying a lot of the depression in his heart, Gong Feng began to wash himself after thinking for a while, and then poured a glass of water for Mir, without giving him coffee, and after seeing Mir completely calm down and return to normal judgment, Gong Feng wore formal clothes and said very formally.

"Mill, what kind of coach do you think you are? Even if in the future you know a lot of basketball tactics on the premise. ”

Without giving Mir time to answer, Gong Feng continued, "I think your best template so far is Fei'er? Jackson, who is our current opponent, where do you think you can be stronger than him in the future? ”

"First of all, you are the future successor of the Knicks, and Jackson is definitely not as good as you, because the future of the Lakers is also the one he can't control, not a strong combination like the OK combination, and it is impossible to pose a very big threat to the current Knicks, and Jackson's greatest ability is to play the full ability of his own players, and you have a lot of differences with him in this regard."

"Because the age, future and ability of your core players are very different from the OK combination, the players you choose are the kind of players who win the team, that is, players who are willing to make their own changes for the sake of winning, which is not something that O'Neal and Kobe Bryant will do."

"The second is the ability of your assistant coaches, this is your second point of extreme strength, in my opinion, according to your integration, this is how likely there will be a Knicks in the league!"

"These are all things that will make you stronger than Jackson in the future, but they can't be the same as the current situation."

"Then you need to come out now, with some of the boldness that you did when you were a manager, trading players!" (To be continued.) )
