Jeremy Lin coached by top coaches

Chapter 654 It's not what it used to be!

This notice was quite beyond Atkinson's expectations.Originally, he didn't want to pay attention to Mikhail's invitation. Recently, the Magic team also intends to discuss with him about contract renewal and salary.

What makes Kenny feel that the negotiation is basically impossible is that Mikhail only offered a management position, but he said that the salary may not be low.Maybe?The salary for coming to the Magic is not high, so Kenny decided to try it out.

After the Magic and the Nets played the game that day, it was still very lively outside at night.After the team practiced for an hour at the Barclays Center, the players were out of Atkinson's control.

"Well, what time are you?" Kenny said to the man on the phone while taking a leisurely walk outside.

Now Brooklyn's coaches are still not that good.Atkinson just used some substitution skills and some timing during the game to easily defeat the opponent!
Another factor why the victory is so easy is that the current Nets players are not in the mood to play.Borg was fired, and the newly replaced coaches and players already had the mentality of clocking in at work and went to the game time to move their arms and legs.

It's not that they were like this before, but that after losing so many games, teams like the Suns, Pistons, Magic, and Mavericks have basically lost their confidence in a relatively low position.

林书豪现在场均可以得到7.2分3.7篮板4.9助攻！时间从上个赛季的28.6分钟降到了现在的19.2分钟了。球队中的埃及迪尤斯感觉自己也快要报废了，在博格这个赛季带队的一周左右自己的上场时间快趋近于0了。

From being valued by the Nets at the beginning to now being able to sit on the bench for a lot of time in each game has hit him hard!At this time, his figure began to lose shape. Although he was no longer so thin, it seemed that this trend was towards obesity.On the court, his ability to defend and rebound has also declined sharply.

"What? Operations? It doesn't seem like the salary is a lot. I've done this before." Atkinson said to him when Mikhail said what to do.

"The team's players may be a good point. The Nets don't seem to have improved much in recent years, so I want to try this aspect." Mikhail said to him with a smile.Now Kenny no longer works for the Nets, but he still respects the billionaire around him.

"I have read your profile. You are a very good person in some places. But you have also seen that the Nets have been saying something about their operations over the years. The reality is here. And there are certain complications in it. Sex. I will be an operations staff, or give me the position of director of operations, but I still have to be affected to a certain extent”

Atkinson spoke directly to the man next to him who seemed to be much younger than him.He probably won't be able to talk tonight.Now he is faced with the question of whether to stay or stay in the Magic.If possible, it is still possible to be an assistant coach in the Magic or two other teams.Just a little less salary.If it is the other two, it is only a matter of time before they return to the position of coach.

"I also talked with Chen Yinan, a young man. I want to sell the Nets team."

"Oh?" Atkinson looked up to see the man across from him and nodded to him.

"But I still saw some hope last season. So I want to try again. At first I was looking for someone else to see if I could find a better operation. But I didn't find it for a while. And If this season is the same as before, I'm going to sell the team."

"It doesn't seem to be easy to find in the short term," Kenny said to him while eating.

"That's right, but I heard that you used to do this in my industry. And you have a good reputation, you can find excellent people, and you can also train new ones. So I think I should just find you. Chen Yinan used to be your subordinate Such a coach now feels that you should still have a lot of ability when you look at the results you played in New York. I don’t think Budenholzer just said those words in a polite way?”

"Coach Budenholzer is really a good coach. When I was his assistant coach, I watched a lot of decisions he made in the game."

"Well, I think I've told you some of my recent thoughts about the Nets. So, do you agree to return to the Nets after the Magic's contract ends to find some great players?"

Kenny looked at the man in front of him and didn't speak for a while.He felt a charm about this man.However, he still paused carefully for a few seconds and took a sip of water.

"So what kind of position did you give me? Your idea is very impressive, but if the salary is similar to mine now, I still want to develop in the direction of coaching."

"What do you think of the President of Operations of the Brooklyn Nets management team? Well, the initial salary is now 1000 million US dollars a year, which means the minimum is 1000 million. I will look at it later." Mikhail looked at it at this time. Looking at Kenny's expression, I feel that there is something going on~
"Did you do it on purpose?" Atkinson could clearly hear his own voice trembling~
"Haha! What do you think it is?" Mikhail asked with a relaxed smile.

"I thought it was just a director or other positions within 100 million or less. Oh no. Mikhail, let me ask if you are serious?" Kenny immediately withdrew some smiles and waited for him Answer, and at the same time, prepare for the other party to make fun of him.

"Kenny, I'm serious. With a salary of 1000 million + dollars a year, if the Nets are still the same in the end, then you can return to the coaching position. Have you figured it out?~"

"Just now I was thinking, if there is not much power to run the team, then there is still no need. This, well, if you are not kidding me, I am still willing to try."

Because similar work has been done in this area before.So Atkinson is more or less confident.Moreover, the minimum salary of 1000 million US dollars a year requires him to earn such a large amount of money for several years or even more than ten years, so he thinks it is still possible~ Although on the surface Kenny is still eating peacefully with Mikhail, but in his heart he has already Happiness is blooming~
Chen stood on the sidelines in a daze, and now he was running out of time in the Knicks.But after thinking about it for a certain period of time, it feels better not to go back to Brooklyn.If you have time, tell Mikhail.

The most important thing now is to play today's game well.After a while the players were already on the field.The Raptors' starters are Jonas, Ibaka, Bruno, Lowry, and DeRozan.On the Knicks side are Kanter, Porzingis, Lance, Hardaway Jr. and Jack.

"Ibaka at the 4 on the other side takes advantage of your height when you are with Porzingis. Lance can shoot more in the game, and the Raptors' forward line is weak again. When DeRozan and Lowry attack Lance, they need to defend Lance in a timely manner. Also, we must pay attention to the rhythm of the game and not be led away by the opponent. Sometimes they attack very fast! Remember, always follow our rules Just hit the tempo."

Jonas immediately got the basketball and passed the ball to Lowry. After receiving the pass from Lowry, Ibaka immediately dunked and scored!The current Raptors are not very capable at the center, but the scoring at the guard is still good!

Kanter went to the sidelines and served into Jack's hands. The latter passed halftime slowly. Porzingis immediately took the basketball and made a 2-pointer with a backward jumper!Today's Raptors still have some concerns about their interior defense.

If Jacobs is allowed to play, then the team's rebounding is estimated to be weaker.But if he is not allowed to play, Ibaka will not have an advantage in height.

DeRozan held the ball across half court, and under the defense of Lance and Hardaway Jr., he immediately broke through the direction and scored a jumper! 4:2!Lance was passed by the opponent so easily with just a little effortless defense!

The explosive power of the Raptors players on the court is still good.Lance takes the ball and Kanter immediately gets his through pass and dunks it! 4:4!Both sides are currently trying to play!
Both teams want to find each other's weaknesses.And the Raptors will not relax as much as they did last season with the current Knicks.This season, after the end of the winning streak, they just lost to the number one Celtics in the East as the second place in the East!

After Lowry took the basketball, he suddenly started to speed up and was seen by Hardaway Jr., and immediately went to help defend!After receiving Lowry being sandwiched between Jack and Hardaway II, he immediately passed the ball to DeRozan.Ibaka took the basketball and immediately jumped up to dunk and dismissed, but Porzingis slapped the ball straight away!
After Lowry got the basketball again, there were no long-distance 2 points!Kanter immediately gets the rebound and passes it to Jack.Hardaway Jr. immediately went to the frontcourt and hit a three-pointer with a jumper! 7:4!They haven't forgotten the quick counterattack after the transition from offense to defense!
In fact, the current Knicks team is not very good in terms of coordination compared with many teams in the league.But they paid too much attention to some details to cover up the shortcomings in this area.The team is still very strong on the surface!

After Jonas took over the basketball, Kanter succeeded in singles! 7:6!Jack quickly went to the frontcourt, and Porzingis immediately took a step back after getting the basketball and shot a three-pointer in front of Ibaka and went into the net!

Casey called for a timeout immediately when he saw it.

"Jacob pays attention to defense on the front line. Porzingis must keep up with the opponent at this point. The offense can improve the rhythm, and the guards should do more in this regard."

At the beginning of the game, Ibaka was severely restricted by Porzingis!

"The task Noah taught you is to rebound and defend with the center and power forward around you! For this team, you can try to make more breakthroughs." For Porzingis in such a state, Chen feels that he should be let off. Take a break.

The player Ibaka just didn't find the feeling for a while.His personal defense is still good.But Porzingis's performance today can also be a point for the Knicks to break through the Toronto Raptors!

Then Porzingis cannot be consumed prematurely before that.Noah in the team is also a strong player, so Chen put him up in advance.It is estimated that the opponent has probably put Ibaka down now.

The Raptors mean to go down with Porzingis or put the mascot up after a while.As expected after the game came back, Casey frowned slightly and watched Noah walk slowly onto the field.

DeRozan's long-distance 2 points did not come after Jacobs took the lead to get the basketball and then shot was directly interfered by Noah!When Kanter saw it, he jumped up and took the basketball and immediately passed it to Lance next to him.After Hardaway Jr. took the ball, Lowry immediately felt bad and accelerated to start over!
After Jack took the basketball, he saw DeRozan rushing over and passed the ball to Lance who had just come over.The latter immediately jumped up and hit a three-pointer! 13:6!The players of the Knicks are in a very high state today!They took their anger out on the Raptors for their loss to the Celtics last game.
Toronto is a little confused right now.This feels like another Knicks team!If you think about it carefully, there is nothing to say.Now they are still No.2 in the East!

After receiving the ball, DeRozan went to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Jacob.Bruno took Jacob's pass and immediately scored 2 points for a layup! 13:8!

Little Hardaway quickly went to the front court, facing DeRozan, directly using his own rhythm to easily pass the opponent and then scored 2 points in the jump shot! 15:8!

"Our team is now overwhelming the Raptors in terms of momentum. Let's see how they respond." Chen and Rogge beside him said.Lowry took a step back after going to the front court and almost returned to the court.

After looking at the current position of the Knicks for a while, he dribbled the ball a few times and then jumped directly into the net with a three-pointer! 15:11!When you can't move on the front line, you can only rely on the defender.

Both Lowry and DeRozan thought of this at this time.They need to close the gap immediately.After Hardaway's three-pointer missed, Lowry immediately passed the ball to DeRozan.The latter went to the frontcourt to pretend to shoot a three-pointer and then decisively passed the ball to Bruno on the other side.

With Lance's defense, Bruno hit a line and 2 points! 15:13!

Kanter gets the basketball and dunks in front of Jonas! 17:13!

29:27!In the first quarter of the game, the Raptors caught up with the score difference through an outside jumper!

"Noah just pay attention to grab more rebounds in the second quarter. Porzingis went up and opened the jumper! In this quarter, come and see, this tactic, and this should be done more! Score as much as possible Hardaway Jr. and Jack will use your offense to tear apart the opponent's defense! We will increase our lead in this quarter! Kanter's words"

After Chen saw the opponent's ability, he immediately changed another style of play!After the second quarter, the Raptors did not make any substitutions. The Knicks' Noah went to the center position, Kanter was off the field, and Porzingis played at the 4th position.

The coach of the Raptors whispered in his heart after seeing the Knicks like this.This new former Nets coach is really changeable in his style of play.After several seasons, Casey has also heard some rumors about this guy named Chen Yinan during his coaching process.

Jack moved slowly upfield and passed the ball directly to Hardaway Jr.The latter immediately hit the inside of the Raptors and let Jonas receive a foul! After making 2 of 2 free throws, Hardaway II immediately went over and prepared to defend. 29:29!

Lowry immediately went upfield and passed the ball to Bruno.The latter made a direct three-pointer! 32:29!

After receiving the pass from Jack, Porzingis pretended to shoot and shook off Jacob, then went in immediately and let Jonas receive a foul and successfully scored 2+1! 32:32!

Now the Knicks play has changed.Noah sits at the basket!Other players find opportunities to get to the basket and score in the quick transfer ball!The pressure on Jonas suddenly increased a lot!

Not only are the players on my side struggling on the defensive end, but I have to deal with the players coming in and compete with Noaka for the basketball!When Lowry's three-pointer failed, Noah immediately grabbed the basketball and passed it to Hardaway Jr.

The Knicks immediately felt the speed of the Raptors.Hardaway II missed a three-pointer after arriving in the frontcourt, and the Raptors players had already returned.Hardaway Jr. immediately got the basketball and quickly passed the ball to Jack.The latter ignored the Raptors' defense and directly allowed Jonas to receive another foul.
Casey hesitated for about 2 seconds and then signaled for a timeout.Now he has understood the intention of the other party.If Jonas plays again, the Raptors will lose one main player at the center position.

"Don't get distracted by the pass. Keep an eye on Noah at the rim, and Jacob and Bruno guard their own guys."

The returning Raptors replaced Jonas with Lucas, and there were no personnel changes on the New York side.Jack made 2 free throws and Bruno served to DeRozan.After Lowry got the basketball, he immediately made a jumper and made a three-pointer!Porzingis got the rebound right away!

After receiving the basketball, Lance quickly crossed the half court, saw DeRozan and Bruno coming from behind and passed the ball to Jack.The latter jumped up immediately!
