Having two substantive managers on a team would have been ridiculous to the extreme.

But... The Knicks are such a ridiculous team.

Originally, the entire uniform team, including owners James Dolan and Donny Walsh, had no pursuit of this season, and the goal was always set in 2010, waiting for the Kings to arrive. So, when Isaiah Thomas clamored to join the coaching staff, they agreed with a 'game of play' mentality.

Now, however, the team is on the threshold of the playoffs.

If it continues like this, the team will definitely suffer the consequences.

Dugg has realized that the team's internal competitiveness has changed from benign to vicious. Because... Isaiah Thomas's team has far surpassed D'Antoni's team, and these 'thorns' have become desperate because of their conflict with D'Antoni, and this seriousness is the basis for the team's six-game winning streak.

But at the same time... It has also become the reason why they are now arrogant and domineering.

With the support of Isaiah Thomas, they did not take D'Antoni more and more seriously, and at the same time, they did not take the players of D'Antoni's team into account.

This kind of behavior is seriously disrupting the atmosphere inside the team.

"Sir, we're talking about how to win." Quentin Richardson answered D'Antoni bluntly.

His tone was neither salty nor light, and it was clear that D'Antoni had not taken it seriously.

D'Antoni was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

At this time, Isaiah Thomas, who accepted it when he saw it, played a round, he pretended to scold Quentin Richardson, and then went over to make a smile to D'Antoni.

But everyone can see that he has been proud of his recent spring breeze.

"I don't like Isaiah Thomas." Stephen Marbury turned his head and told Dogg beside him.

Dugg didn't speak.

But he doesn't like the current atmosphere in the team, and he believes that the split forces of the team need to be effectively integrated to move forward.

He's seen this from the hard-fought win over the Atlanta Hawks, and the Knicks have reached a bottleneck.

He was worried about the rest of his trip to Texas.

……

Popovich praised Snoopy before the game, comparing Snoopy to Tim Duncan: "They're all cornerstone players, they're all players who decide the bottom line of the team. When it comes to the best rookie debate, my answer is clear. As much as I think Snoopy's "Baby" is poisoning the physical and mental health of teenagers, I have to face up to his achievements on the basketball court...... Without him, the Knicks would have been even worse off than they were last season, and now they're on a six-game winning streak and making great strides toward the playoffs! ”

However, after the praise, he showed no mercy.

He was very effective in isolating the game, and he directly emptied Dug's mid-to-long range while stubbornly strangling the Knicks' other scoring points. Although Dugg played a few good minutes with Stephen Marbury, it wasn't enough to spread to the court.

Especially when... When the Spurs also used a 'fake starter, true rotation' style of play against the Knicks, the Knicks couldn't come up with many moves.

Therefore, before the end of the third quarter came, the game was completely out of suspense.

For the entire fourth quarter, Dugg sat on the bench for eight minutes.

This is not the outcome he wanted.

The next day in Dallas, the Mavericks almost exactly copied the Spurs' tactical play, and sadly... And they worked again.

Once again, the Knicks were beaten to the point of collapse by their opponents in the third quarter.

Whether it's a starter or a rotation, they can't do anything about it.

ESPN directly disclosed the Knicks' internal problems that day, and they interviewed an insider. When the matter of two coaches, two tactics and two lineups was exposed, public opinion boiled for a while, and countless media participated in it. And those basketball experts also seem to have found the long sword that punctured the bubble of the Knicks' previous six-game winning streak, and they fell into the well one by one.

Moreover, many people did not forget to publicly announce that the Knicks will face a 19-game losing streak next.

"I'm not going to let things get worse."

Dugg made this point clear in an interview with the media in Dallas.

But in the next day's report, no media thought that Snoopy could solve this problem, after all, he was just a rookie, and although he was the tactical core, he had enough voice and appeal to make the divided Knicks heal.

"The Knicks hit the wall again after a dreamy six-game winning streak, and their internal problems were greatly highlighted. When a team is split into two teams led by two head coaches, and the playing time is clearly divided. Such a team is unlikely to succeed, let alone make the playoffs! ”

"Once again, the Knicks made another epic joke as they became the first team in the league's history to execute a dual-coach, dual-tactical and dual-lineup. I really feel sorry for the six teams that lost to the Knicks before, if they knew that the Knicks were like this, probably they wouldn't be helpless, right? ”

"Isaiah Thomas is the Knicks best at messing up the Knicks, and he gives New York hope for revival, but he's about to create a strife that shatters it. That's what the Knicks have been through in the last seven years! ”

“……”

Dugg put the newspaper aside, he wasn't going to read any further.

Stephen Marbury sat across from him and told Dug, "Now, what you should be doing is building your own team." There's no better time than now, as long as you can seize this chaos, play your own level, and build your own lineage. Next season, you can also assign a head coach to work for you, as LeBron James did. ”

"There's one more thing you can rest assured of. I will never fight you for power. I'm willing to be your core team. ”

Stephen Marbury's posture at this time was quite like Zhao Pu before the Chen Qiao incident, and he was waiting to add to Duge's yellow robe.

"Dacomilišić is also very supportive, and I have already spoken to him."

Marbury continued: "Also, Gallinari, David Lee, Jeffries, their stats are boosted because of you. I'm sure they'll do your bidding. ”

Dugg glanced at Marbury in surprise, Marbury was so active that he didn't expect it, and a Chinese proverb popped out of his head...... Does this mean that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry?

"After playing the Houston Rockets and returning to New York, I suggest you throw a private party. Team leaders need some rituals to win hearts and minds. ”

Marbury continued to offer advice.

Dugg frowned, he actually approved of Marbury's proposal, and now was indeed a good opportunity. But he's worried about another thing: his projection ability.

With the determination of the absolute core position, the defensive intensity he faced became more and more intense, although his breakthrough ability improved. But the damage on the offensive end has always been limited, and as the Spurs take the lead in isolation, other teams are bound to follow suit, which will make it even more difficult for themselves who don't have the ability to shoot.

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

Dug's cell phone rang, and he picked it up to see that it was Selena Gomez's phone.
