北京时间3月14日消息,在林书豪奇迹逐渐消失后,尼克斯最近10场输掉了8场。虽然包括尼克斯内部人士在内的很多人都将矛头指向了超级巨星卡梅隆-安东 尼,但据ESPN从知情人处获悉,绝大多数的指责都指向了主教练麦克-德安东尼。知情人表示,德安东尼已经失去了对尼克斯更衣室的控制权。
“尼克斯球员们喜欢麦克这个人,”一位知情人说。“他们都认为德安东尼是一个好人。但是球员们不再尊敬他。”德安东尼和尼克斯的四年合同已经进入最后一 年,所有的迹象表明赛季结束后他不会再回来。即便德安东尼能安全度过本赛季,尼克斯也会试图邀请传奇教练菲尔-杰克逊出山顶替他的位置。
尼克斯本赛季还有22场比赛,根据多位知情人透露的消息,尼克斯更衣室乱的和他们在球场上拙劣的表现一样糟糕。除了抱怨德安东尼外,球员们还对他们各自的上场时间表示不满,并对球队的进攻和防守安排感到迷惑。
知情人表示,虽然尼克斯管理层、教练组和球员都清楚是卡梅隆-安东尼破坏了德安东尼的进攻体系,但他们仍然对德安东尼表示不满。“这是我们问题的核心所在,”一位知情人说。“安东尼不服从安排搞乱了尼克斯的进攻。梅隆可能会服从安排,但他必须先信任球队的进攻体系。”
在 安东尼回归之初,林书豪继续扮演着组织者的角色,将球推进到前场打德安东尼的跑轰体系。当安东尼放弃这样的进攻体系时,林书豪不会将球传给他,这让安东尼 非常恼火。因此当林书豪试图在场上和安东尼沟通时,安东尼就转过身去不理不睬。为了缓和两人的关系,尼克斯球员们试图达成一个妥协,那就是继续打德安东尼 的跑轰,同时加入安东尼的低位单打。
“但是这样做会搞得一团糟,因为德安东尼的体系不是这样设计的,”一位知情人说。虽然安东尼有诸多不是,但尼克斯很多球员仍然相信,安东尼正在努力做出调整并渴望胜利。“尼克斯有一半球员试着按照主教练的安排去打比赛,但另一半人却另搞一套,”一位知情人说。安东尼知道在防守端该怎么做,但是他就是不能稳定的按照主帅的安排去比赛。
知情人透露说,一些球员起初相信德安东尼能迫使安东尼完成调整,但现在尼克斯球员更相信他们需要一个能镇得住球员、尤其是安东尼和斯塔德迈尔这样的明星球员的新教练。他们不相信德安东尼愿意这么做,或者有能力做到。“唯一行得通的办法就是我们要有一个能让安东尼适应,并教会安东尼、阿玛尔和林书豪怎样赢球的教练,”一位知情人说。(搜狐体育 Wella)
还有BD对当林的替补、场均17分钟很不爽,向德安东尼要求更多的出场时间。林喜欢德安东尼体系,BD更符合甜瓜、小斯的进攻
Sources: Knicks tuning out coach

After a remarkable Jeremy Lin-led run that made them the toast of the NBA, the Knicks have lost 8 of their last 10 games. There's plenty of blame to go around, but while some within the organization are questioning superstar Carmelo Anthony, most of the fingers are being pointed at head coach Mike D'Antoni, according to several sources close to the situation.
D'Antoni, hailed as an offensive genius during his successful tenure in Phoenix, has lost the Knicks' locker room, the sources say.
"The players like Mike as a person," one source said. "They think he's a good guy. But he doesn't have the respect of the team anymore."
D'Antoni is in the last year of a four-year deal and all indications are that he will not be brought back after this season; that is, if he survives the rest of this season. The Knicks are expected to make a run at Phil Jackson, who retired from the Lakers last year with 11 NBA titles.

But the Knicks, losers of six straight games, still have 24 games left to get through this year, and according to numerous sources close to the team, the reeling club is as dysfunctional in the locker room as it is on the court.
In addition to questioning D'Antoni, players are complaining about playing time, and confused about the offensive and defensive schemes.
It is lost on no one that the Knicks' free-fall coincides precisely with the return of Anthony. While Anthony was out with a groin injury, the Knicks won 6 of 7 games, including victories over the Los Angeles Lakers and defending champion Dallas Mavericks. With Lin leading D'Antoni's offense, the Knicks played fast and free, spacing the floor, hitting the open man, and even improving defensively.
But the day Anthony returned, the Knicks lost to the struggling New Jersey Nets, starting a sorry stretch that has washed away all the feel-good emotions of Lin's emergence and left them on the verge of missing the playoffs.
Management, the coaching staff and the players know Anthony is hurting the offense and in turn, the defensive morale, according to the sources. While D'Antoni's offense calls for Anthony to plant himself on the wing at the 3-point line, he often creeps in to his favorite spot in the floor -- the area between the elbow, the arc and the post. That kills the Knicks' ability to run the high pick-and-roll and ruins the spacing that is so critical to D'Antoni's offense.
"That's at the very core of our problem," one person close to the situation said. "That messes up the fluidity of the offense. Melo could do it, but he's got to trust the offense."
When Anthony first returned -- and it still appears to be the case -- Lin would bring the ball up court and try to run D'Antoni's system. When Anthony would abandon the offense, Lin would not pass him the ball, which irritated Anthony, sources said. So when Lin tried to talk to Anthony on the court, Anthony would turn his back to the point guard and tune him out. The two never had heated exchanges, though, and the players tried to come to a compromise, agreeing to run D'Antoni's system while also mixing in post-ups for Anthony.
"But it's just a mess because D'Antoni's system is not designed for that," one source said.
Despite his often poor body language, many of the players believe Anthony is trying to adjust and sincerely wants to win. He has told people close to him that he is being asked to do things he's never done, saying that throughout his career he has always had plenty of post-up opportunities and that he is uncomfortable standing on the wing spacing the floor.
"Half the team is trying to do what coach says and the other half is doing something different," one source said. "Then it spills over to the defensive end because players are (ticked) off about somebody taking a bad shot."
With Anthony sapping the energy from the offense, the players often lose their incentive to play defense. But even when he's trying to play defense, Amare Stoudemire struggles. Having spent almost his entire career in D'Antoni's non-defensive system, Stoudemire has trouble making defensive reads and rotations. Anthony knows what to do defensively, but simply refuses to do it consistently, the sources said.
Some players believe D'Antoni had the leverage to force Anthony to adjust to his system when he first returned from injury. The Knicks were rolling, showing they could win without Anthony, and their fan base was believing in D'Antoni's system. If D'Antoni had checked Anthony, perhaps even benching him, when he strayed from the offense, the players and fans would have been behind the coach and Anthony would have had no choice but to conform. But D'Antoni, ever the one to avoid confrontation with his players, would not do it, and now it's too late. That's when he lost the locker room for good.
Now, the players believe they need a coach who will hold players, especially the stars like Anthony and Stoudemire, accountable, the sources said. They do not believe D'Antoni is willing or able to do it.
On top of that, Baron Davis, who just returned from a back injury, is unhappy with his limited role as Lin's backup. Davis, averaging just 17 minutes a game, has already spoken to D'Antoni about giving him more playing time, according to the sources. While Lin wants to run D'Antoni's system, Davis is more in line with running the offense through Anthony and Stoudemire, the sources said.
"The only way this is going to work is if we have a coach that will hold Melo accountable and teach Melo, Amare and Jeremy how to play winning basketball," a source said. |
