In the remaining three playoff games, the Knicks posted a record of two wins and one loss. The only defeat was an away game at Staples Arena against the luxurious Los Angeles Lakers. Except for Shaquille O'Neal, the Lakers
In addition to Kobe Bryant and Kobe Bryant, two more old guys were found to protect the OK combination. Gary Payton gave up other big contracts and came to the Lakers with a veteran salary to serve as point guard. At the power forward position, the management of the Lakers
The layer convinced Larry Johnson, who had just retired, that the Knicks veteran, who had won the NBA's first billion-dollar contract, came back wearing a Lakers uniform and prepared to get himself a championship ring.
One can imagine what would happen to a group of young Guardsmen when they encountered such a team. They would undoubtedly be annihilated. Although Black Dolan's tactics were still exquisite, when the opponent was too strong, Black Dolan reluctantly admitted that the tactics were ineffective.
The game became secondary.
In fact, after this game, Blake Dolan reflected on why he lost to the Lakers. The answer is very simple and complex. Simply put, Kevin Cato and Eddie Griffin in the paint can't stop Shaquille O'Neal and Larry.
Johnson, but there are some advantages, that is, Eddie Griffin has been practicing with Charles Oakley since this game, because Oakley told Eddie Griffin that no one can handle Larry Johnson except himself.
, neither can Charles Barkley.
On the outside, an honest kid like Kirk Hinrich almost wanted to leave the game and borrow the rifle from Oakley to kill Gary Payton, because the old guy's trash talk kept destroying him throughout the game.
Others who have the same idea as Kirk Hinrich include Mo Williams and Jose Calderon.
In terms of complexity, Blake Dolan still can't figure out Phil Jackson's triangle offense. This tactic that has long been famous in the league is almost comparable to the offense. The changes in each point can easily be hundreds or even thousands. Sher
Don Cooper made a special trip to analyze it for Blake Dolan after the game. The entire triangle offense is equivalent to the size of eleven Princeton matrices.
This is the fundamental reason for losing the game. Tactically, if you cannot grasp the opponent's tactical rhythm and do not have that kind of super player, losing the game is inevitable, especially when the opponent has a tactical advantage and at the same time
There are incredible players.
After the preseason, the team can get a week's rest. After that, the regular season will begin. The Knicks' first opponent is the Detroit Pistons.
After Sam Presti got the news that the Chicago Bulls were looking for a point guard, he immediately started contacting the Chicago Bulls.
…
Blake Dolan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window holding coffee, overlooking the street scene of New York. To be honest, for Blake Dolan, being the head coach of a club is a hard job, because his military school career and military service gave him the experience and
Others have a completely different desire for victory, that is, every defeat is unforgivable, so he has been thinking about the game against the Lakers these days.
"How about borrowing a sugar cube?" Sam Presti's voice sounded from the door.
Blake Dolan turned around, looked at Sam Presti and said:
"I really don't know why so many people like to overlook the streets of New York. I can't find any sense of beauty."
Sam Presti is also holding a coffee cup. Coffee is almost the drink that the New York Knicks management drinks most often, more frequently than water.
"That's because you haven't discovered beauty yet. Haven't you read the biographies of those predators? The higher you stand, the more beautiful the scenery you enjoy, especially in a city like New York." Sam Presti said...
"Maybe, I didn't find that kind of scenery anyway, I prefer the small town style I saw last time when I went to Westwood." Blake Dolan said: "The sugar cubes are gone, maybe you can go to Tina's to borrow some.
, but I guess you are looking for me for more than just sugar cubes."
"Sure, want to hear about the trade plan proposed by the Chicago Bulls? Eddy Curry for Kirk Hinrich." Sam Presti said with a smile.
"That old bastard John Paxson is crazy. Chris Kaman averaged a double-double in the preseason and became Chicago's new darling, right?" Blake Dolan walked from the floor-to-ceiling window to his seat.
He sat down and said.
"Of course, but I have to say, some Chicago media are touting Chris Kaman because they received payment from us, but the effect is not bad, Chicago fans now believe that Chris Kaman is their white Duncan." Sample
Lesty said.
Maybe this incident is the first of its kind in the NBA. One team quietly asked reporters to brag about another team's players releasing smoke. I don't know what kind of punishment the league will impose if they find out about this incident, but Sam
Presti believed they wouldn't notice.
"It's very simple, he said to trade Eddy Curry for Kirk Hinrich, then you proposed to trade Jose Calderon for Chris Kaman, we are not in a hurry, you know why? Because John Paxson just took office, he
He must do something, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the Chicago fans and club owners, but now there is no suitable point guard for him in the league. He can only find cheap and easy-to-use players first. Who is the cheapest, the rookie. This year's best
Where are the good point guard rookies? The Knicks, when you ask him to trade Jose Calderon for Chris Kaman, that guy will definitely think of Kirk Hinrich and Chris Kaman, but
I'll give up right away again." Black Dolan said, looking at Sam Presti.
"Why? Why the immediate decision to dump Chris Kaman for Kirk Hinrich?" Sam Presti asked.
"Because that guy just came on board and Chris Kaman has a certain number of Chicago fans with his summer league and preseason performance, if John Paxson wants to get an A+, he's definitely going to want to have both Kaman and Sheen.
Rich, in this way, his position as Chicago manager can be secure." Blake Dolan crossed his hands in front of him and said.
"What about Tyson Chandler? Will he take the initiative to mention Tyson Chandler?" Sam Presti's mirror flashed and he asked.
"Of course not. Everyone knows Tyson Chandler's potential. We know it, and he knows it too. Tyson Chandler's defensive power in the interior is not comparable to that of Chris Kaman, so I guess that old guy
It will give you a multi-player trade, such as Eddy Curry plus a few players for Kirk Hinrich plus a few players, this one is more suitable for his appetite." Blake Dolan said.
"If it's what you said, how can we get Tyson Chandler traded?" Sam Presti said.
"It's very simple. We talked with them first and talked in the direction that Chicago people wanted. At the same time, we asked the media to expose Tyson Chandler's back injury and let the media let everyone know that Chicago planned to trade the back injury.
Injured Chandler, used in exchange for Kirk Hinrich." Blake Dolan said.
"Do you know how fans will react to news like this?" Sam Presti looked down at the coffee in his hand and asked.
"Chicago fans may dance with excitement, Knicks fans may throw hot coffee in my face." Blake Dolan said with a smile:
