On the phone, Zhao Hang directly expressed his rejection of Anthony's intention to come to New York.
This was a little out of Donnie's expectations.
"Zhao, Anthony is also an All-Star and one of the top ten superstars in the league. We can form the Big Three.”
"No, no, Cameron is not suitable for us. We are particular about speed and running. Cameron's arrival will only slow us down and destroy the team's chemical reaction. What we are weak in now is the lack of an orthodox center forward and a substitute who can fire and score points.”Zhao Hang continued.
Zhao Hang had already talked to D'Antoni in the training center a few days ago.
D'Antoni also did not like Anthony's style of play.
Anthony's arrival would cause D'Antoni's current system to collapse.
The result would be him leaving!
Therefore, on this issue, Zhao Hang was also on the same side as him.
Zhao Hang and D'Antoni had many similar ideas.
For example, the Knicks needed to add centers and substitutes, not other positions.
Stoudemire was a power forward, not a traditional center.
Reaching the center forward position was also a temporary measure.
" I now think that the team's trade targets this season can be Tyson Chan, Louis Williams, and Jamal Crawford. If you insist on bringing in superstars, I'd prefer it to be a playmaker like Chris Paul. I don't have a conflict with him, not a pure scorer like Anthony.”
Zhao Hang expressed his thoughts. In the future, Harden and Paul's models could be used as a reference, but the detailed operation was the cooperation of their management.
Zhao Hang's public rejection of Anthony was just the beginning.
As a transmigrator, it was impossible for Zhao Hang not to interfere with the team's signings.
In the future, he would have to interfere in the team's draft.
Zhao Hang would have the same power as James.
Zhao Hang hoped that the team could succeed in its own way.
"Okay, Zhao, I'll discuss it with the management first. Chris Paul might not be able to get it.”
Donnywash needed to hold a management meeting and then report to the boss quickly.
He told them that Zhao Hang did not welcome Anthony's arrival.
In Zhao Hang's eyes, Anthony was not even as important as Chris Paul.
“OK! In short, the firepower of the center forward and substitutes is a must. If the team wants to improve, they must strengthen these two points.”Then, Zhao Hang hung up the phone.
Zhao Hang thought of Anthony's experience with the Knicks.
He felt that stopping Anthony from coming to New York was the right decision.
Anthony's career in the Knicks basically did not have many honors. What was left was chicken feathers on the ground.
In his previous life, in the 2011-2012 season, the Knicks had their eyes on the champion center, Tyson Chantler, and started a trade.
The New York Knicks sent veteran center Ronny Turiaf, some cash, and a 2013 second-round draft pick to the Washington Wizards.
At the same time, they traded second-year guard Andy Laudons to the Mavericks.
The 2012 second-round draft pick from the NBA was sent to the Wizards, and the draft picks of Ahmad Nevis and Printlins were sent to the New York Knicks. The Wizards sent their future second-round draft pick to the Mavericks.
Thus, the Knicks formed a new Big Three: Anthony, Stasi, and Chantler.
This lineup looked gorgeous, but it was actually filled with danger.
Anthony and Stoudemire had compatibility issues, and the team lacked a good point guard to allocate the ball.
In addition, Stoudemire's injury performance had declined.
The team lost straight from the start, and Coach D'Antoni was about to be dismissed.
After Anthony and Stoudemire were injured, Lin Shuhao rose up and set off a whirlwind. He extended the life of Coach D'Antoni and the team had a reliable point guard.
The pick-and-roll fast-break play of Jeremy Lin, Stoudemire, Chanteler, JR, and others had improved the team.
The team began a winning streak.
However, after Anthony returned, he was incompatible with Lin. The two of them were incompatible in the distribution of the ball. Lin liked the small ball play, while Anthony liked the positional play.
The team's four great players, Hao, Gua, Si, Qian, and Incompatible, immediately lost their record. The Knicks management could not sit still anymore. They let D'Antoni go and replaced him with Woodson.
Woodson was a former Hawks coach who liked to play basketball indiscriminately. In fact, D'Antoni had already improved the team in the later stages. Woodson was quite lucky to get D'Antoni's benefits, and D'Antoni himself took the blame for the early part of the season.
Woodson still used Anthony to play solo and gave Lin the ball.
Woodson began to push Anthony to the front and Stoudemire to the center, to a certain extent, to accommodate the two.
The New York Knicks barely made it into the playoffs, but they were defeated by the Heat in one round: 1 eliminated.
2012-2013 Season.
This was Anthony's most glorious season in the Knicks era.
After Lin left, the Knicks were inspired. The team needed a good point guard and a team controller.
The team signed the former superstar, the old traditional point guard, Kidd, and then signed Felton as a reserve point guard. They also signed Rasheed Wallace, Curt Thomas, and others to form the four inside players with Stoudemire and Chanteler.
Woodson implemented a small ball play with one big player and four small players. Anthony played as the big forward and Stoudemire played as the center forward. The problem of the two's compatibility had been greatly improved.
Although Jason Kidd was old, he still had a general view of the situation and could maximize the attack effect of the Nick's Grand Formation. Compared to Paul, Nash, and other point guards, Kidd had an advantage. He did not occupy the ball, which was very suitable for Anthony, who needed the ball.
Zhao Hang couldn't do it without taking possession of the ball. If Anthony came to the Knicks, the battle for the ball and the infighting between the two could be very intense.
At that time, the defensive role of the four inside players, Chantler, Wallace, and Thomas, was very obvious.
Although Stoudemire had many injuries, this lineup also played his offensive role.
The team smoothly advanced to second place in the Eastern Conference, and Anthony became the scoring leader and third on the MVP list.
However, there was a flaw in this lineup, which was that Anthony and JR would play randomly when the team was not running smoothly. This was called the "An Lushan Rebellion" by JR.
Ji De was already at his last breath, and it was impossible for him to perform well all the time.
The team entered the playoffs with the second-best record in the Eastern Conference and faced the aging Green Army in the first round.
After winning three games in a row against the Green Army, the Green Army used an iron-blooded defensive lineup. The An Lushan Rebellion broke out, and the Knicks knelt down twice in a row. After eliminating the Green Army, they faced the Iron Blood Defensive Pacers. In the face of a stronger defense than the Green Army, the An Lushan Rebellion erupted again. The Knicks were eliminated.
As the team's controller, Kidd had been unable to cope with his opponent's tough defense from the third game against the Green Army to the elimination by the Pacers. He had scored zero points in 10 consecutive games and had less than two assists per game.
In the 2013-2014 season: The damn season had begun.
Kidd retired and went to coach the Nets. The Knicks supported Felton.
After Felton went to learn from his experience in Orlando, he became fatter and his performance deteriorated severely. His organizational ability was far inferior to that of the Knicks in the 11th season. And the team had to rely on this person to drive the team and allocate the ball?
As a result, the team once again entered a mode where Anthony, Stoudemire, and JR were incompatible.
Woodson was fired in the middle of the season. At this time, the " triangle offense " scam group led by Zen Master and Fisher was on the rise in the NBA. The stupid Knicks management actually appointed Zen Master as the general manager and Fisher as the team coach.
The fraud group brought in the Zen masters, Odom, Fragrance Brown, and others. They wanted to push the triangle offense in the Knicks, but Anthony's ability to coordinate and control was almost impossible to be the axis of the team.
Chantler, Felton, and the others were traded to the Mavericks, and their performance had recovered a little.
Nix was completely turned into mud.
In order to get more money and get closer to his wife, Anthony, who had no ambition, still renewed his contract with the Knicks.
This also caused New York to be unable to get rid of his reconstruction. Until Zhao Hang transmigrated, New York was still in a mess.
