NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 198 D’Antoni’s evaluation

Of course!

Mike D’Antoni is not Paul Pierce!

He will not make a Pierce-style gaffe towards the camera.

As the head coach of a team and a mature middle-aged man, he is more calm.

And the best way to pretend to be a master is to keep silent.

For most of the questions, D’Antoni chose to pass them over, but when talking about the team’s rookies, he opened up.

“Regarding the Knicks’ inside pair, Tayshawn and Wang, I want to talk about these two players here.”

“In the absence of Kurt, who started the whole season, both Prince and Wang Song can be said to be working together for the first time, especially in the series with the Celtics, the two showed real tacit understanding.”

“Although this new inside pair of the league does not have full game experience, only the Celtics can be used as a reference, but I think… before Kurt returns, this will be the complete form of the Knicks’ inside line.”

“In order to trade Prince from the Pistons, the team paid a lot, but the first round ‘s performance, Prince, who plays the third and fourth positions, is very outstanding. His qualifications do not affect his status as an excellent striker. Although my coaching experience is not very rich, in my career as a player and coach, it is very rare for a second-year player to perform like this in the playoffs. ”

D’Antoni used a long speech to praise Prince. Just when the media were surprised that the focus of the Knicks coach’s discussion seemed a little wrong, he changed the subject and described Wang Song in a very short sentence:

“The strongest rookie in history, no need to say more!”

There are no attributives or modifiers, just naked praise and the highest evaluation.

For a time, D’Antoni’s previous long speech was eclipsed, and all the media on the scene stopped recording.

Subconsciously read this sentence back.

D’Antoni spent a whole season to build a calm image in front of the media, and even when talking about himself, he was very humble.

But when talking about the Asian boy, the Italian man with a 3:7 split hair and white hair on his temples did not hide his love for him.

Before D’Antoni officially took office, the New York media had a comprehensive understanding of the new coach.

The best coach in the Italian league prefers to study outside offense and believes that the opening of outside offense will determine the direction of the game.

But now seeing his evaluation of Wang Song, the media can’t help but be curious. What kind of charm does the Asian boy have in the Knicks besides the dominant data?

Even D’Antoni’s coaching beliefs have been completely changed!

The interview was destined to be not smooth sailing. After the violent remarks were made, the foreign media began to put pressure on D’Antoni.

“Coach Mike, your remarks are a bit too extreme. I think if Wilson Chamberlain were still here, he would not agree with you.”

A female reporter with a black hair and red skin retorted, with a curve at the corner of her mouth.

D’Antoni glanced at the nameplate on the chest of the questioning reporter.

Miami Daily!

D’Antoni was relieved immediately.

It turned out to be a potential opponent in the semi-finals, no wonder the response was so sharp, but he was not polite and smiled lightly: “My Miami media friend, since you brought up Chamberlain for comparison, I think it is also a kind of affirmation of Wang.”

The hidden needle-like response made the female reporter of Miami stunned.

Why didn’t I realize before that this Italian coach not only has good tactical arrangements, but also has a sharp tongue!

“There is no doubt that Chamberlain is a cross-era Hall of Fame player, but as far as I know, in addition to the explosive data in the regular season, his rookie season did not lead the team to create a regular season best record of 74 wins, and did not win the championship in the playoffs?”

“If the Knicks win this season… That should be enough to prove my statement!”

This rhetorical question made the female reporter of Miami feel a little embarrassed.

Compared with the regular season team performance, there is no doubt that Wang Song is better in his rookie season.

But D’Antoni’s promise of a championship caused a stir at the scene.

His shocking ambitions made the media start to imagine.

The Italian coach who returned to the NBA actually expected to win the championship in his first season, and he also exposed this wish directly to the media.

In front of the body.

This is definitely an epic news!

The media are tired of the unchanging official response, which can’t get them attention, let alone make the newspapers sell well.

But D’Antoni, who was interviewed today, definitely gave enough gimmicks.

Whether it is himself or his expectations for the players, there are explosive news everywhere.

Perhaps he realized that he said too much, after a few words, he ended his interview and pointed the microphone at Wang Song next to him.

Tonight is another record night for Wang Song!

After Olajuwon, Wang Song became the second person in the league’s history to achieve a triple-double in the playoffs.

However, after being so straightforwardly praised by D’Antoni, Wang Song has become a little awkward in front of the camera.

If it weren’t for the record night + promotion, he would definitely turn down this press conference.

But now D’Antoni has just boasted, which is equivalent to setting him up. No matter what he says now, he will be attacked by the media.

Wang Song dares to guarantee it!

These gossip media will definitely analyze his words word by word after the press conference, so he took this approach to express his inner thoughts.

“I believe everyone has heard that Coach D’Antoni has expressed a lot of content. Next, I, the Knicks… will confirm all of this.”

“In order to protect the boss’s old face, and at the same time, for the title of the strongest rookie in history!”

Wang Song is as quiet as ever, but the amount of information is huge.

D’Antoni’s eyes flickered.

Obviously, he was also a little surprised by the Asian boy’s answer.

I didn’t expect that this guy would actually help him to respond after he boasted more.

The media at the scene were completely boiling. When they wanted to dig deeper into some players’ ideas, D’Antoni cut off their thoughts by saying that the G5 battle was fatigued and the players needed to rest.

Fatigue?

A victory that was easier than the regular season. The Asian boy who could score 40+30 was at most a warm-up. The media didn’t believe it.

But there is no way, the Knicks are the boss in Madison Square Garden.

D’Antoni has the ability to make his own decisions.

After being asked to leave, the media did not stay and hurriedly sent the materials back to the headquarters for processing.
