Chapter 199: New Coach, Fresh Blood

James joined the Heat, and the Knicks knew that there was no play, and they also began this year's recruitment.

There are three new players in the summer, Cousins and Monroe have strengthened the interior, and Wright's joining guard is not so nervous, but there is still no one point guard.

After James' departure, the Cavaliers immediately offered Houston Rockets point guard Carey Lowry, 24 million for 4 years, with an annual salary of 6 million, which has exceeded the middle-class contract of 5.75 million.

If the Knicks want to get Lori, they must give a higher contract to create salary pressure on the Houston Rockets, so that the Houston Rockets are likely not to match, if the Rockets match this contract, then Lowry must only stay in the Rockets, but this degree must be grasped well, the Knicks have always been considered wronged, and it is difficult to ensure that Lowry's agent does not open his mouth, so it is better to wait for the next year to find a chance to get Paul.

James and others are now famous, and the biggest remaining cards such as Xiao Si are not very tempting to the Knicks now, and the Knicks' interior four are all potential stocks, so there is no need to give way to Xiao Si, and besides, the Knicks cut D'Antoni in order to revive the team's defensive tradition.

But the Knicks are still hesitating, after all, even if they don't get James this year, there will be a lot of big fish in the free market next year, and whether a Lloris is worth Washh is still being tested, after all, he only had 9 points and 4 assists last season, which is not as high as Duhon's 12 points and 7 assists.

In fact, Lori's efficiency is very high, he is only 24 years old now, there is still room for improvement, and his defensive attitude and defensive ability are in line with the style of the Knicks, and Duhon's data is the advantage of run-and-gun tactics on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has far more playing time than Lowry, in Houston, Lowry is the tillary of Little Black Bean Brooks.

Meanwhile, the Knicks have locked in a new head coach in the form of Tom Tyberdeau, assistant coach of the Boston Celtics.

Tyberdeau was Jeff Van Gundy's assistant, and he didn't have the old-fashioned personality of Van Gundy. Focusing on defense while not using tactics to restrain players, he is the most suitable candidate for the Knicks coach.

Tyberdeau has helped Rivers win two championships, and this summer he revealed that he wants to be the head coach of a team, and in addition to the Knicks, the Chicago Bulls are also pursuing Tyberdeau, although head coach Negro has done a very good job.

The Knicks decisively cut D'Antoni in order to get Tyberdeau on the throne. Full of sincerity, but Tyberdu has been thinking about it. The Knicks offered him a generous contract of 3 years and 20 million either.

Seeing that James went to the Heat to form a Big Three, Dolan decisively met with Tyberdeau, along with Donnie Walsh, and the three didn't know what kind of agreement Lu Dao reached.

The day after the meeting, on July 12, ESPN announced: Tyberdeau announced his entry into New York.

At noon on the 12th, the Knicks held a press conference. The announcement was made officially.

Thibodeau, 50, spent 18 seasons as an assistant coach on seven NBA teams, including 15 seasons when his team was ranked among the league's top 10 defensive teams, and was an assistant coach for the Rockets from 2003 to 2007 and a Celtics chief assistant coach since 2007.

Thibodeau impressed the Knicks' top management not only with his defensive coaching ability, but also because he was good at developing young players, and he always took Yao Ming to train when he was with the Rockets. In the early 90s, 14-year-old Kobe Bryant was also coached by Thibodeau, then assistant coach of the 76ers.

Tyberdeau's move to the Knicks was a big surprise. Two days ago, there was also news that Tyberdu was going to sign with the Bulls, but the annual salary of the two sides was compared, and it was obvious that the Knicks were more sincere, the Bulls gave 6.5 million for 3 years, and the Knicks were 20 million for 3 years.

As soon as the news of Tyberdeau's entry into the Knicks came, the Knicks immediately offered Carey Lowry a 4-year contract of 28 million, which is much higher than the middle-class contract. The budget-conscious Morey won't necessarily match this contract. …,

Sure enough, the next day, the Rockets didn't match Lowry's contract. The Knicks' point guard is finally gone.

Although Lori is only 1.83 meters tall, he is extremely strong. With an official weight of 205 pounds, he has strong explosiveness and above-standard ball control. Individual breakthroughs are due to strong bodies, so they can often score in the three-second zone, but mid-to-long range shooting is a weakness, and his shooting ability has improved since coming to the Houston Rockets.

The ability to organize and attack is also above the level, but it is easily disturbed by emotions, is not stable enough, and sometimes makes more mistakes.

In terms of defense, because of the explosiveness, speed, and strength are above the average level of point guards in the league, whether it is the pressure of the ball carrier or blocking the passing line, Lowry has done a better job, and the scoring guard who can defend the opponent in some games does not suffer, in addition, the rebounding ability is a first-class level among the league guards, and rushing to grab the frontcourt rebound is a major personal feature.

If you want to give Lowry a template, Andre Miller is a more suitable object, both are physically strong, good at defense, not good at shooting, excellent defense, first-class overall view, of course, the organizational ability Miller is much higher.

It may be that LeBron James has been out of luck, the Knicks have been moving constantly, and after getting the head coach and the main point guard, the players are also targeting a lot of experienced veteran players, after all, it is unreasonable for a team to rely on young players alone, and sometimes unexpected results can be achieved with veteran players.

On July 14, the Knicks announced that Ben Wallace had joined the team.

Experts on the Knicks' official website wrote an article to welcome Ben Wallace to Apple City, saying that even if they can't get Wallace, who dominates the defense like before, they can at least get the respectable and exemplary Ben from before.

"I'm so excited to be here,"

Ben Wallace said in an interview with the media,

"It's the best turning point of my career and it's a very exciting feeling to be here."

"As long as I'm on the pitch for a minute, I'm going to do everything I can and no one can stop me."

The Knicks are amazingly efficient, and they are defensive players on consecutive shots, Big Ben was originally returning to the Detroit Pistons, and the falling leaves are very tempting to Big Ben, and the Knicks still managed to impress the former best defensive player after the end.

Although there are already four potential new stars on the inside, it doesn't mean that the Knicks don't have a place for Big Ben, the Knicks inside line and Big Ben are not bloated, Big Ben's contract is a two-year veteran base salary, and Tyberdu also expects Big Ben to be able to play an exemplary role for Cousins, a problem cat.

The Knicks' recruitment continues, the outside Knicks have no shortage of players, a 3-year contract of 13 million to get this handsome guy, and once again robbed the Bulls' "sweetheart", the Bulls offered a contract higher than the Knicks, but New York's city status is more advantageous, and Korver chose to join the Knicks.

"We couldn't be more excited to welcome Kyle to the Bulls, he's a great addition to our team and he's going to give us another big firepower on the offensive end."

So says Donnie Walsh.

Standing at 6'7" and weighing 212 pounds, Korver is a seven-year NBA veteran who has played for the Jazz for the past two seasons.

Korver officially landed in the NBA in 2003 as a second-round pick in the '03 class (overall 51st pick), and he played for the 76ers for more than four seasons before being traded to the Jazz.

Korver is an excellent shooter, averaging 9.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in his career, shooting 43.1% from the field, but shooting 41.0% from three-point range and 87.9% from the free-throw line, ranking first in the league in 2006-07 with 91.4% free throw percentage.

However, he became less and less relied upon during his time with the Jazz, averaging just 18.3 minutes per game in 2009-10, the lowest number of minutes outside of his rookie season, averaging 7.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, although Korver's 53.5 percent three-point shooting percentage was a career-high and he also topped the league's three-point percentage rankings this season. …,

Although the Knicks' big fish has slipped away this year, they have not been dizzy and blindly recruited, and despite Thornton, an ace shooter, a functional role player like Korver is also needed by every team.

On July 16, the NBA official website reported.

Knicks general manager Donny Worth announced today that the team has signed free agent Shaun Livingston, and according to the rules, the details of the contract were not disclosed.

'Sean already has a wealth of experience and we know exactly what he can bring to the team on and off the pitch and we are confident he will be a great addition to the team,'

Walsh said,

'His size and playmaking skills will give us more flexibility at the back.

Livingston, 27, was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the fourth pick in the first round of the 2004 draft.

In 2009-10, Livingston played in 26 games (18 starts) for the Wizards, averaging 9.2 points, 4.5 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game.

Shaun Livingston was a talented guard back then, the successor of Magic Johnson, but unfortunately he was ruined by injuries and forced to retire, and he was reborn in the Wizards last season, and now he can't be a Magician, but he is a respectable player, Livingston's broken leg can be said to be more terrifying than Mourning's kidney change.

Livingston's performance in the Wizards is remarkable, and he is definitely qualified to play Lori's role as a supplement for Lead, and the addition of the two makes the Knicks point guard no longer weak and bullied, without James, the Knicks are methodically recruiting, perhaps, this is the real happiness!
