Relying on Howard's rebounding skills in the penalty area, the Magic's shooters on the periphery were treated more calmly.

The most important thing is that the Magic point guard Mr. Nixon, who was dealt with by Li Zhen every time he had fought, finally accepted his fate. Even if Li Zhen shook him down in the second quarter, he did not feel particularly excited, and he was not in a hurry to find the scene.

He had already given up his fantasy after realizing the situation. He no longer hoped to be side by side with Li Zhen, and even felt that being beaten by Li Zhen was a matter of course, just like Kobe Bryant could beat their shooting guard Redick every night.

When Nixon stopped burning the PU and even handed over the possession of the ball to Turkish Tekoglu, their attacks became extremely smooth.

This greatly improves the offensive efficiency. In addition, the three-point shooting ability of this group of people is really too strong.

He scored 26 three-pointers in a single game.

The Knicks lost their first home game of the season helplessly.

112:121.

"When your opponent throws 26 threes at nearly fifty percent of the shooting percentage, it's hard for you to win."

Isaiah Thomas spread his palms apart after the game and told reporters: "I don't think the mentality of the players has been affected by the departure of the coaching team. I also completely disagree with Zach Randolph's misperforming performance tonight. You can't blame a center who scored 25 points and 12 rebounds in a single game, just like you can't deny that a guard who averages 12.6 assists per game is not the first point guard."

He then talked about issues that everyone was very concerned about.

"The new assistant coaches will be in place in one week. This time we will give many talented and aspiring young people in NCAA. NBA needs fresh blood, and young coaches need promotion platforms. Just like our team's chief assistant coach, Jamie Lin, he is a good example. I believe that young assistant coaches will quickly improve their ability to control tactics by cooperating with the best point guards in the world. In the near future, they will become the pillars of NBA."

"I firmly believe that no one has become a top coach overnight. I, and the Knicks Club, are willing to open their arms to the young people."

"That's why I'm going to let Jamilly perform tactics at some specific times."

Isaiah Thomas stood in front of the camera and said with a serious face. "As a veteran in this industry, I have no ambitions for fame and fortune. The so-called "don't compete for the first place, but the competition is endless!"

These passionate words made the audience applause.

Many people look at Thomas with admiration. They think that his behavior is in the supremacy of commercial interests is simply a clear stream: giving young people a chance, what a noble behavior.

Although NBA is a top platform, without the continuous support from behind, relying on a few top coaches will not last long and promote the league's continuous progress.

For a moment, people also forgot... Isaiah Thomas handed the tactical board directly to Jamilin in the fourth quarter, asking him to draw tactics and let him direct command.

Of course, those basketball experts who are eager to try are not afraid to take advantage of this matter. Because Isaiah Thomas is a great thing to support young people.

Doesn’t anyone criticizing him in this matter mean he is an enemy of all young people?

When James Dolan saw the interview video of Isaiah on TV at home, he couldn't help but feel awe: I am really worthy of being the man I value. What a noble sentiment and what a noble ideal. It is completely different from those head coaches who are flirting with, are very happy with merit, and compete for profit from players.

With a thought, he felt more and more that his decision to fire D'Antoni was extremely correct.

Only such a broad-minded man can be worthy of our great Knicks Club.

We will definitely become a century-old legend.

James Dolan is becoming more and more confident about the team's prospects.

But in fact, after Isaiah Thomas came to the press conference, his forehead was covered with sweat.

This pretending to be so suffocating that he sweats all over, which is a test of his psychological quality.

Even he admired himself a little, and at the same time he thanked the team boss James Dolan... If he hadn't had so many admirational eyes, how could he be so relaxed and comfortable?

Isaiah Thomas's speech caused a big rebound within the league, which somewhat concealed the negative news of the Knicks' defeat at home. Because more people think that Isaiah Thomas' remarks of "trust newcomers" are against the trend. Especially those vested interests, they began to mock Isaiah Thomas for pretending to behave and betting on the Knicks' future. Some even commented anonymously that Thomas was deliberately revenge on D'Anthony.

However, these disputes are regarded as easy as a smile as an assassin.

What he is most afraid of in his life is public opinion attacks. After all, it has only been more than half a year that his reputation has been slightly better.

Now, the problem he urgently needs to face is... The Detroit Pistons are coming in full swing.

The Knicks' loss to the Orlando Magic made the Detroiters even more rampant. They even brought arrogant ruthless words when they set foot in New York: "The Knicks won a game last season's playoffs. They have been proud until now. Now it's time to expose their false prosperity."

Hamilton made a big fuss in the face of the media.

In fact, they were already taking the blame for the internal chaos of the Knicks even earlier.

This inspired the anger of Knicks fans, who could not tolerate such little-man behavior.

As a result, there have been many reports in the New York media that criticized the Pistons and called on the Knicks players to fight back.

But in fact, for Knicks players, playing the Pistons has never been a matter of mobilization.

They didn't need extra motivation, and on the morning of the second day of the loss to the Magic, all players arrived at the training hall before 8:30.

Including Eddie Curry, the lazy one on weekdays.

"I have to do something," Eddie Curry said in the locker room. "I didn't show up in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, and it's been a long time since those stupid guys were proud."

In fact, he himself knew that with his current physical condition, the possibility of playing was very low.

But even so, he has to contribute to the team.

This is what Marbury often mentions about cohesion.

Although the newcomer Eddie Griffin and Zach Randolph have not experienced the playoffs last season, they have been hearing about the Pistons' fight with the Knicks. In the past few days, the Pistons have even made even more mockery and pointed their finger at Li Zhen.

This is something they cannot tolerate.

Eddie Griffin, the former degenerate genius, established the only basketball philosophy three months ago: whoever messes with Blues on the court will kill anyone.

Now that the Pistons are invading the door, he can't stand it for half a minute. After entering the training hall, he even started to practice three-point shooting that he hadn't practiced for many years... Eddie Griffin used to feel very soft. He was not only a blocking genius, nor was he just a defensive expert on the wing, but also a pitcher who can expand his range beyond the three-point line. This is also the reason why everyone set his template for Kevin Garnett back then, and the Rockets were willing to spend three first rounds to fight him and Yao Guo to form an inside combination.

Unfortunately, he was addicted to alcohol in those years. Although the prodigal son turned around now, the lost things are not so easy to retrieve.

For Randolph, although his feelings for Li Zhen are not as dedicated and intense as Griffin. However, as the only leader he recognized and willing to be led by him in the league today, can the Pistons make the Pistons' mischiefs show off their verbals?

"We must fuck them to death."

Zach Randolph was aggressive and slapped his chest out loud: "I know Rashid Wallace, he is a seemingly tough soft boy. And Antonio Davis, his knees are rusted now. As for the head coach Sanders, a guy who picks up people, I really don't know where he got the confidence to mock our offensive system. Jamie is ten thousand times better than him!!"

Randolph also expressed strong emotions in the locker room.

The last game, the little Warcraft Howard broke his frontcourt rebounding technique, and by the way, Stan Van Gundy stepped on his "No. 1 Center in the East", which made him very angry. In addition, D'Antoni's resignation and the Pistons' offense against him taking the lead... They all piled up, and he is now like a crazy smoking crater, and it is in urgent need of an eruption!

In fact, Li Zhen did not focus his attention on the Detroit Pistons, and he still acted according to his plan. However, except for the daily sweat training, he increased the number of times he discussed tactical details with Jamilly during this period. Sometimes he even performed simulations directly on the court.

Although Isaiah Thomas forcibly pretending to be strong at the press conference, raising his noble character and concealing his coaching level too low, what he said is actually the truth. As the best point guard, Li Zhen communicates with him and lets him perform the trading, which can indeed make young coaches' control of tactics grow rapidly.

Jamie Lin always feels very lucky recently. He has a super player like Li Zhen to endorse his tactics, and a good boss like Isaiah Thomas who is "understood and willing to delegate power"... Thomas never commands blindly, and he does his logistics very well. For young people who want to do something, such a leader is much better than a leader who is commanding blindly.

For the upcoming opponent, the Detroit Pistons.

Jamilin also formulated a number of tactical systems overnight, including but not limited to Princeton, triangular offense, double tower misalignment and running and bombing.

He is now learning from the strengths of many families.

As a new coach, he has no psychological burden and has not reached the level of starting a sect, so he is willing to try various tactics as long as it is beneficial to the team.

Fortunately, he met Li Zhen. Li Zhen could make his ideas appear 100% or even 200%.

This made his good friend Stevens of Butler University very envious. This coach of this age is similar to Jamie Lin is nominated by the university board of directors. He will have a great opportunity to become the new head coach of Butler University. But he still envies Jamie Lin, who can be in the NBA and have a good player like Li Zhen, and a good head coach like Isaiya Thomas.

Jamie Lin seized the opportunity to send him an invitation, saying that he could come here to realize his ambitions.

In fact, after Isaiah Thomas received Jamie Lin's recommendation, he had called Indiana for three consecutive nights to have a long talk with Stevens.

The demeanor and sincerity he showed moved Stevens very much.

He is making the final choice.

...

When Hamilton, wearing a mask, appeared at the Madison Garden Arena, he made a very provocative action against the audience who booed the audience... He pressed his left hand against his right hand and made a fist. This move that imitated Ultraman Taylor is a more serious provocation in the West than a middle finger.

Therefore, the booing and cursing in Madison Garden are even stronger.

Create a strong devilish home atmosphere.

"I like to look at these guys in a furious way, because soon they will find that their proud Bruce Lee and the Knicks players are so vulnerable." Hamilton's laughter was very presumptuous.

The teammates standing beside him also had this expression.

Although the creator of the Pistons system, Larry Brown, has long left, inside defensive core Ben Wallace has also gone to Chicago to pursue a big contract. However, the Pistons players are still holding the airs of the number one giant in the East.

Especially, the remaining four tigers.

However, when players on both sides move to the midfield and prepare to jump the ball to start the game.

They only realized that this year's Knicks are completely different.

Because Zachrandoff was breathing fragrance as soon as he got up, he glared at Rashid Wallace: Go ahead and you? I'm going to tear off your bones tonight.

Eddie Griffin was like a cheetah in the African jungle, looking around the Pistons one by one with his cold shuttle eyes. His expression was clearly saying: Tonight, either I will be beaten to death by everyone here, or I will be beaten to death by everyone here.

This made the Pistons player's subconscious mind tremble.

They suddenly remembered the scene at North Shore Garden last week, and the guys also started like this... No, the Knicks were even more bandit-like than Boston.

Could it be that the times have really changed? The pattern of the east is no longer within our control.

Hamilton looked up and saw Lee Zhen’s handsome face more handsome than last season. He still had a smile that could catch all women.

"I don't remember whether I ever said I wanted to sweep you."

"I don't like to say such harsh words that are too emotional, it makes people seem to have no IQ."

"From this game, I will step you under my feet again and again."

"because…"

"You deserve it."

Li Zhen told Hamilton in gentle words.

He is still resentful of what happened to the playoffs last season, and he still remembers his face after the Pistons won.

Including in recent days, these guys' repeated jumps have made him feel disgusted.

For such people, the best way is to trample on them.

Then announce to them: Your era is over, just like garbage, throw it into the sewer with the dust of history!
Chapter completed!
