The inside story of the Knicks official announcement of the change of coach is revealed! The president presses the "restart button" to compete for the championship

Basketball

This drama in the NBA offseason, the most shocking plot is the Knicks firing coach Siberdu! He just led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years, but he was fired when he turned around. Anyone who saw this operation had to shout "good guy"! As soon as the news broke out, the fan group was in an uproar. The forum was full of discussions about "This matter is too outrageous". Everyone was waiting for the Knicks to give an explanation.

If you want to say that the statement of the Knicks president Leon Ross was issued quickly, the news of the firing was officially announced, and the letter from the other side followed. The first sentence in the letter made the team's "ambition" clear: "We, the Knicks, don't want anything, just focus on winning the championship for the fans!" How passionate this sounds, but after thinking about it, the relationship between Thibodeau was dismissed because he didn't bring the championship trophy back? Although the letter also said a lot of words thanking Xibedu, such as "doing all his strength every day" and "no professionalism can be said", and counting his results in leading the team to the playoffs and winning the series four times in the past five years, the lines all show the meaning of "the results are not enough".

Think carefully, the report card of Siberdu in the past five years with the Knicks is indeed quite good. The more you win in the regular season, you lose less, and you also won the honor of coach of the year, and led a team that has not entered the playoffs for many years into the Eastern Conference. In the 2020-2021 season, when he took over, the Knicks had a terrible record. As a result, after a season, they directly entered the playoffs and even dropped the favorites to win the championship. At that time, fans treated him as a "savior"! But in basketball, the results are the bottom line. The last time the Knicks won the championship was in 1973. Half a century has passed, and fans' eyes are green when they wait for the championship. Although Xibedu can lead the team into the playoffs, he has not even touched the threshold for the finals for five consecutive years. In the minds of the management, the gap is too big.

In fact, there may be a deeper reason here. In the current NBA, tactical styles have become fast, small ball tactics and running and bombing systems are all about flexibility and change, and strong offensive firepower. But Xibedu is still the old way, so he only recognizes those seven or eight people when he uses people. The main players play thirty or forty minutes in a game, as if they are commonplace. Let’s talk about Hart. Once, there were five consecutive games, playing for more than 45 minutes in each game. Iron Man couldn’t stand it! Moreover, he does have a good tactics and defense, but the offensive end is almost a bit interesting. Sometimes it is difficult for the team to play ball. There are many young and talented players in the Knicks lineup, but in his system, he has not fully tapped out his potential. When the management saw that this would not work. It was getting farther and farther away from the championship, so they simply slapped the table - change their handsome guys!

Look at other Eastern teams, the Bucks, Celtics, and Heat, are all updating their tactics and strengthening their lineups. If the Knicks still stick to the old tricks, let alone winning the championship, they can't even touch the side of the championship. The Pacers have emerged this season, and their offense is so smooth; the Celtics' double-Tanhua cooperation is getting more and more tacit, and the defense is not leaked. The Knicks were just eliminated by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. How can the management not be anxious? Although it was a bit ruthless at this time, I also wanted to give the team a "big change" and return to the championship ranks.

At the moment, the Knicks' top priority is to find a new coach. Fans have also begun to "reveal" and "speculation". Some say that former Warriors assistant coach Mark Jackson has a chance. He is good at coaching offense and may activate the Knicks' firepower; some people nominated Malone, who was fired by the Nuggets, and they brought Jokic to the championship and have rich experience. But no matter who comes, the pressure will be high! After all, Knicks fans have been looking forward to the championship for too long. If the new coach cannot bring the team out, he will probably not be able to sit firmly.

The Knicks's coach change was a wise move to "burn the boat", or a failure under impulse? What kind of changes will the new coach bring? In the NBA next season, the situation in the Eastern Conference will be chaotic enough. The Knicks' trouble will probably cause another "bloody storm"! Who do you think is the most suitable to be the new Knicks coach? Come to the comment section and chat, maybe your "god prediction" will come true!
