A piece of news from New York somewhat lightens today's reporters. That's what the theme revolves around the Knicks. However, in today's news report, Jackson basically labeled him as a "less successful manager" in the article.

As a coach, he is still fresh in people's memories of the Bulls dynasty and the Lakers dynasty! And now he can't replicate the Knicks as well.

Judging by his pursuit over the years, he should still want to open up a new career in management, and the Zen master also has his own goals, but now it seems that he can either become a coach or continue to find a management position.

Every position may have its own rules and tricks in it. And there should be more complex factors here. Maybe you have the ability, but the people around you may not be doing what you want.

Just as Jordan wanted to be a professional baseball player back then, but when he started doing so, he realized that maybe he loved basketball more than basketball. Years of training and fighting on the court have deepened my knowledge, understanding and thinking about basketball. And baseball may have to start from scratch.

Yes, the Zen master left the New York Knicks. Since he came to this team, he hasn't made it to the playoffs. When he got the news that day, Jackson was very calm, and left the place not long after.

According to the memories of the staff at the time, he still lost his temper when he saw the fat former Knicks operations president walk into the office! An ordinary Zen master is a person who is sometimes easily excited in his work and communication.

It wasn't clear if he was like that before, but his attitude has become more and more impatient over the years with the Knicks. The most obvious is when Anthony walks into his office, and there is no movement at first. Until I heard an argument inside, and immediately Anthony opened the door and walked out!

Chen's Knicks are still on a winning streak. Jackson also understands what is going on with the decision made by the management in unison. He didn't even say hello to Chen, who only learned about it on the news, when Jackson had already left New York.

Now Jackson's idea is to find a place to spend the holidays first. Then think about future arrangements. This is the end of the Knicks' Jackson era. The management didn't call Chen or anything. It has always been that way. Chen felt quite quiet.

The current Nets played another game while the Knicks were resting. Still not winning, the Brooklyn management at this time already felt that something was wrong. They may have made a big mistake!

Some time ago, the owner of the Nets asked about the team's adjustments. At the time, Nets management also said that given the start of the preseason and regular season, there should be no problem with the Nets' state. There should be no problem for Brooklyn to make the playoffs this season.

But now even an average fan can see it. If the Nets play like this, it is estimated that the regular season will be announced before the end of the season, and they will directly enter garbage time. Having qualified for the playoffs ahead of schedule has put the management on pins and needles.

Because I already felt angry from the last communication with the boss. It's just that the other party hasn't had a seizure yet. What is the reason for such a big change in a team that is on the rise? Shouldn't the team's victory be put at the forefront?

Is Coach Chen so distrustful? Well, now he's leading the New York Knicks to the NBA! The current winning streak hasn't been interrupted yet! This team is now another team after Celtic who has been winning all the time!

At the top of the Eastern Conference is the Celtics, and the second place is the Toronto Raptors! Third place is the New York Knicks! This kind of performance is definitely a batch of dark horses! The Magic, who won the Nets last time, will play the Knicks in their next game.

They would play a game against the Knicks the following night after a day of training at Madison Square Garden.

Chen's mood was a little excited. Because he's going to meet Atkinson and Coach Welch soon. In recent games, the Cavaliers moved up one place in eighth place in the East. The Magic also won a few games and finished in ninth place in the East!

Under the adjustments of these two former Nets coaches, the current Magic team has become much more sophisticated in terms of play. The biggest thing that has changed is that the players are not so rough with the ball. Being able to make fewer mistakes and be good in some details can really make a qualitative difference for a team.

Although they don't have a superstar here yet, the players don't have a lot of co-ordination. But at least they can lose less, lose fewer points, and in some cases they can let go and fight hard with each other!

There are times when things are going well for the coaching industry. For example, if you meet a team like the Cavaliers, the Warriors, and the Rockets, you may not be able to get into the position of head coach with your qualifications.

But when you get to this position, you will feel what it is that the players are capable of, and your tactical arrangement will sometimes be almost perfectly executed! A good player who always executes your tactics and takes care of his surroundings and his team on the pitch to make as few mistakes as possible and give the opponent as few chances as possible!

Then this kind of competition really feels a lot easier. And if you lead a team that is in a bad swing, you can't get such a team back to being a league powerhouse right away. You will find that the reason why the team is bad is not formed overnight.

And it's even harder to do without superstars or multiple star players on the team. Chen is more fortunate that when he was the coach, there were still some players who were more powerful.

For example, Griffin last season and Porzingis this season. After a few victories, the morale of the players is very high! Although Li said at this time that he was injured and did not want to contact Chen.

But he's still watching his team play. Now he feels very difficult. Because the team is starting to get better at the moment. And it also hit the third place in the East!

I may have been reimbursed for the season because of a spur of the moment.

The current Magic team is still doing a good job in terms of the team's offense. In addition, the arrival of Welch this season has made the team's defense have also improved to a certain extent! The team's Vucevic can currently get 17.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists!

He is still the main point of attack for the team! It took Atkinson a whole season to manage the current Magic team a little bit. The players on the team are generally quite different from the rest of the NBA in terms of offense! For many years, the offense ranked among the bottom few in the league.

And now they have added a lot of tactics to their play. This also strengthens their offensive efficiency on the field. Although there are still some places that are not doing well. But let the media see hope in this team.

The addition of Welch this season has improved the Magic defensively!

"Long time no see, boss!" It didn't take long for Chen to see Atkinson and Welch on his home turf. The two of them and Chen immediately walked in each other's directions.

"That's right. Porzingis is a superplayer of the future, and your future is limitless! Atkinson was also a little agitated at this time.

Because of the contract signed with the Magic. He can't afford to stay in Orlando this season. But there are quite a few teams that want to hire him! So far, there are 4 teams in the league that have given him the position of manager! There are also 5 teams that have given the position of chief assistant coach!

One of the highest-paid contracts was $8.76 million a year! And the lowest is $1.62 million! From his resume, you can tell how great the potential of Atkinson's coach is!!

When he was in Houston, his ability to read people was not weak. At that time, it was still in the management. After that, he served as an assistant coach for the New York Knicks, and at the end of the day, he made New York the playoffs! It was also during those years that he learned about Jeremy Lin. After that, he went from an assistant coach to the Eagles to be the chief assistant coach of Coach Budenholzer!

Later, the Nets became the team's head coach and discovered Chen's abilities from the coaching staff over the course of several years.

Today's Nets and Magic have changed a lot! And Brooklyn has been promoted to a traditional powerhouse in the East. Although it is not known whether it will be maintained this season.

'The players played well. And then tell them not to attack blindly. Anyway, I met a good player~" Chen immediately said modestly.

"I heard that the Knicks signed you on a non-guaranteed contract, right?" Welch said to Chen at this time. The expression on Atkinson's face immediately diminished.

"My time in the NBA and my experience, it's good to be able to get a contract~"

"It should be a big mistake for the team to give you a non-guaranteed contract!" Welch said to Chen with some regret.

The three of them stood there and chatted for a while, and then watched the players warm up almost before leaving. Chen was very happy to see Atkinson. He had learned a lot from the middle-aged man.

And from the communication with Kenny, you can also know that this person is definitely not an ordinary coach. He not only embodies wisdom, efficiency and high accuracy in the style of play, but also has strict requirements for himself! It's a bit strange if such a person doesn't make a difference.

But now he probably has to consider developing in other teams. The Magic team has struggled to get up in recent years unless they trade great players.

Players from both sides have already stood up. Today's Magic starters are Vucevich, Biyombo, Fournier, Augustin, Shervin. On the Knicks' head are Kanter, Noah, Hardaway Jr., Ntilikina and Jack!

Atkinson immediately frowned when he saw such a Knicks lineup. Because in the previous games, Chen rarely used such a lineup.

Chen guessed that Atkinson would carefully study his style of play and get used to limiting the Knicks' offense as much as possible in this regard. And then figure out how to get ahead of the Knicks!

That's how the last game and the Nets were played! Originally, with the strength of the Nets and the Magic, it may not be easy to win. But the coach they faced was Atkinson.

The Magic players were very happy in that game. Because they ended a three-game losing streak!

Kante grabbed the ball first and passed to Ntilikina, and Hardaway Jr. took the basketball and immediately jumped to three points! Biyombo got the rebound, and Augustin took the basketball and passed it directly to Shelvin on the other side of the half. The latter immediately jumped 2 points hollow into the net!

Jack took the ball from Hardaway Jr. and slowly moved to the frontcourt. Kante received Jack's pass and immediately threw it in front of Vucevic! For Vucevic, a good player, it is still very motivating for Kante!

Augustin held the ball to the frontcourt, Fournier took the ball and missed the jumper! Noah got the rebound and passed the ball to the nearby Nelikina. Jack hit a three-point shot immediately after receiving the basketball in the frontcourt! 5：2！

Chen's main idea today was to find an opportunity to break through quickly in the Magic's offense, which was not particularly proficient, to maintain a certain lead with them and enter the second half. Because he knows that Atkinson still has a good control over some of the process and details of the game.

He worries that he might unknowingly take down the Knicks after the Magic can quickly counterattack. So be prepared in advance! The offensive point was on the outside, with Kante and Noah grabbing rebounds and defending inside. I have to say that the two of them are standing there, and the Magic really can't do how many points to score under the basket quickly.

Shervin passes the ball to Vucevic, who immediately doubles with his back to Kante and is directly interfered with by the opponent! Fournier immediately got the basketball and passed it to Augustine. With no one to defend for the time being, Augustin jumped straight back for a three-pointer! 5：5！

Nelikina and Augustine were blocked by each other in the contest! Hardaway Jr. took over the basketball and quickly went to the basket to get a layup after passing Fournier! 7：5！

Shervin's three-point shot was directly blocked by Kanter after Vucevic got the rebound! The cheers from the audience immediately rose! Noah got the ball and passed it to Jack, who went straight past half court and hit a jumper three-pointer! 10：5！

Atkinson has been quietly watching the game. He was doing it at the bench at the moment. There was some anxiety in his eyes. Augustin carried the ball to the frontcourt and hit a 2-point jumper from a step back under the defense of Ntilikina! 10：7！

The main force on the Knicks' side hasn't all come up yet. If the Magic had replaced some good players now, they might have fallen into passivity in the game. But if we don't change now, how long can the team last?

Hardaway Jr. held the ball across half court and hit a three-pointer in front of Fournier! 13：7！ Today, the Knicks are still very angry! The score was stretched to 6 points at once! Since the start of the game, Augustine of the Magic team has been doing well.

He feigned an attack and passed the ball to Shervin. The latter jumper basketball came out again after brushing two laps in the basket! After Kante got the basketball, the opposing player told the referee that it was an interference ball! However, it was not ignored by the referee.

Ntilikina took Jack's pass and went straight to the three-point jumper through the net! Atkinson is about to take a timeout.
