D'Antoni now understands why the elder Dunleavy was so indictmentary.

It's just that D'Antoni is not McDonleavy after all.

His desire to control is not as strong as that of Dunleavy Sr., and he will not do anything that really hurts the team's interests because of power. It was as if this time, he was just acquiescing, not encouraging, and not instigating like Dunleavy did.

And in fact, if D'Antoni had done those things that Dunleavy did. Tonight's chic will not be so easy to control the situation, after all, D'Antoni has a very detached status in the minds of the running players. He raised his arms and shouted, even if he couldn't overwhelm Xiao Xiao, at least he could form a situation in the locker room.

It's just that that's not what D'Antoni wants.

Fundamentally, he's a manager who wants to win more than power.

He can see that the Knicks' power is thriving now, and even though he hates Stephen Marbury very much, he still thinks that Marbury has improved a lot since the arrival of the Knicks, and the help to the team is obvious to all. Milicic and Eddie Curry were even more than he expected, as he had previously skepticed Xiao Po's remarks about making the playoffs, and now he began to believe them.

"Mr. Coach, are you willing to be robbed of your rights by that rookie? He is too blind, he is too arrogant, today he expelled me like this, and tomorrow he can drive you away. Nate Robinson shouted to D'Antoni, who was still in the locker room, and the empty locker room echoed in his loud speech.

Although Nate Robinson seems to be a big boss, his language skills are still good. Previously, he was able to organize the three sins in a very short time. Now he can use the right method of agitation to make D'Antoni feel empathetic and sad.

But. Neither of the two people he met was a good stubble. None of them are easy to provoke.

D'Antoni just smiled slightly and said very calmly: "Nate, do you know why the team's top brass are so doting and chic? ”

"It's not because he has potential, but also because he has commercial value." Nate Robinson replied as a matter of course.

"It's not just that." D'Antoni shook his head.

"What else can there be? Just because he's handsome? Or is it because he has many gossip objects in Hollywood? Or is it because his Chinese food is well done? Nate Robinson's sour words were full of sarcasm, and it was clear that he didn't really despise chic.

"None of this matters, it's all the details. What really makes the team's top management care so much is because of his competitive spirit. It's because he really wants to take the Knicks to the next level. D'Antoni said calmly: "Since the arrival of the scorch, the whole team has started to take on a different look. We're starting to win, we're starting to compete with the big teams, we're even looking forward to the playoffs. This was unimaginable before. ”

"So what?" Nate Robinson replied with a look of discouragement.

"The purpose of your coming out tonight is because your numbers have been compromised, because your playing time has been compressed. It's all your personal interest, and no matter how loud your voice is, you can't be justified. But Xiao Xiao can, because he wants to make the strength of the whole team to a higher level, so he can freeze you without scruples and with confidence. D'Antoni said calmly: "Of course the top management has to support him. Because he's responsible for the whole team. ”

"But...... But......" Nate Robinson was a little hesitant, "but he was too domineering." Relying on the trust of the higher-ups, he actually ruled the locker room like a tyrant. ”

"No way, it's his team." D'Antoni shrugged his shoulders, unable to help Nate Robinson's accusations.

Because he has accepted the status quo, that is, the most authoritative person on the Knicks team is Xiao, not him as the head coach.

After sorting out the order of positions, his mood was much better.

"You're a good bench player, come on!!" D'Antoni patted Nate Robinson on the shoulder and turned to walk out.

With D'Antoni gone, Nate Robinson was left alone in the empty locker room, and he was left alone.

He lowered his head and looked down, he thought for a long time, and then slammed the table, as if he understood something: "FU-CK!" I was completely fooled today!!! ”

Nate Robinson then realized that he was not only being treated as a monkey of Liwei. Moreover, it is still the vanguard of those running and bombing players who instigated them to go out and send them to death.

At this time, he figured out why when he was frozen in the middle of Xiao Sa, no one behind him stood up to speak for him, because he was originally pushed out by them to test the water temperature, but they didn't expect that the water temperature was so hot, Xiao Sa's words would beat Nate Robinson to death, and there was such strong support from the top management. In this case, their stupid hearts were extinguished in an instant, and as for Nate Robinson, who cares about him, he was originally a substitute for the first battle!

FU-CK！ These damn guys!!

The more Nate Robinson thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and his fists clenched.

However, there is no longer any point.

He has lost his place in the Knicks, and those who remain dare not make a mistake in front of Xiao Shi again. After all, the current situation is already very clear, and if you want to continue to mix in the Knicks, it will never work to offend Xiao Shao.

When the third quarter of the game began, Xiao Sang still continued the previous lineup.

And the Rockets did not change the lineup, so the Knicks still had the upper hand.

Adelman is a great coach, but his reflexes have always been an issue, and if he were given a day, he would certainly be able to study the Knicks' lineup thoroughly and make a targeted defense. But... When the game is in progress, it is impossible to give him a day's timeout and let him figure out what to do.

By the midway point of the third quarter, the Knicks had a 20-point lead.

This surprised the fans in the Toyota Center Arena, who did not expect their team to teach the Knicks, a weak Eastern Conference team, a lesson at home. They had come to the stadium to witness the team's 23-game winning streak, but ...... Things are looking very bad now.

The Knicks have completely mastered the initiative, and the two guys who are called parallel waste actually have a good fight with the Rockets' proud interior line?!

Rocket fans are so unhappy and uncomfortable.

Xiao was in a happy mood, and even hummed a song.

When he returned to the bench, he immediately replaced Milicic with Eddy Curry at the same time.

By this time, Eddie Curry was out of breath and his fitness was still a big issue. And Milicic didn't feel better.

He played very hard tonight and put out 12 points of effort. With such a positive attitude, physical fitness also declined very quickly.

Xiao Xiao was not a man who liked to the players hard, and he felt that these two men should rest, so he replaced them.

After all, the regular season is a long process. If you beat the two main forces in one game, what will happen next?

After replacing Eddy Curry and Milicic, he walked up to D'Antoni and said very politely: "Mr. Coach." Please set up tactics for us. Now that Milicic and Eddy Curry are exhausted, the game is in a very dangerous situation, and you are desperately needed to take the helm! ”

The dashing words pushed D'Antoni to a very high position at once.

Xiao is a smart man, and he is domineering in the dressing room. But now, he still gave D'Antoni enough face.

Xiao Shao's words made D'Antoni feel very comfortable, although he also knew that Xiao Sa's words were actually said on purpose. The situation is dangerous! It's 20 points ahead. As long as you play steadily, there is no problem at all in winning.

But now that Xiao has made such a respectful gesture, D'Antoni is no longer interesting, and he seems a little embarrassed.

So, D'Antoni smiled slightly, walked to the center of the players with the tactical board, and mobilized the troops: "The next five or six minutes will be crucial. We're now taking a decent lead, but it's not enough to give us peace of mind, there's still a long way to go, and once the Rockets get on the ground, a 20-point lead isn't enough to secure our lead. ”

"And now, our two inside players are very tired. The rest of us have to hold our ground. David Lee, Jeffries, you have to defend the inside line to the death, and you must not let the opponent do whatever he wants in the box. Wirt, your task is to constantly attack the opponent's penalty area and cause them to foul inside. Xiao, you also have to try to sprint into the forbidden area. It was Chris Dujon who had the ball in possession and you have to remember that we were constantly playing fast-paced attacks while also targeting their penalty area. ”

"We're not strong right now, all we can do is take out their inside!"

"That way, we can get what we want...... Victory!! ”

D'Antoni is very straightforward in his strategy, and his tactical focus is to quickly bombard the Rockets' penalty area.

It was very much in line with Chick's heart, so he didn't have anything to add.

At this time, D'Antoni's mood was also relatively cheerful. He doesn't feel like Xiao Xiao wants to be a tyrant, he still respects himself!

Xiao Xiao certainly didn't want to be a tyrant.

It's just that he doesn't mind using some tyrant-tactics.

For D'Antoni, the chic attitude is that you can save face, and you can be authoritative. But I have to give it to you. I don't give, you can't rob!

That's the bottom line.

If D'Antoni can comply, Xiao doesn't mind that he has been sitting in the head coach position of the Knicks.
