The Knicks signed coach Thibodeau to a three-year contract extension through the 2027-28 season.

In the previous contract, Thibodeau's annual salary was about $7 million, and with the signing of the NBA's new broadcast contract, the new contract salary of the iron coach reached the level of tens of millions of dollars.

The Knicks are going to do big things this offseason.

The trade got Bridges, carried the teammate basketball to the end, extended the contract of defensive gate OG-Anunoby, and then extended the contract of big brother Brunson in an unbelievable contract.

Then, they retained the highly controversial head coach.

In the past season, when Thibodeau was mentioned, it seemed that both the media and the fans were criticizing him.

His approach to employing people has earned him the label of a "plantation farmer" in China's fandom.

But today, I'm not going to ridicule or criticize. In the current Internet environment, there are too many people who follow the crowd, and the consequence of frantically following the trend is that you can't see the good side of others.

Therefore, this push talks about Thibodeau that everyone may not know or understand.

When others scold Thibodeau, do you realize this: The Knicks have been able to get to this point in large part because of this extreme rotation style with full staff?

Isn't it just "modern slavery plantation basketball"...

The rotation method has great limitations, killing a thousand enemies may cost oneself one thousand two, and you may lie down in the end.

However, the NBA is a game of talent, and considering the background of players like the Knicks and their natural ability, I think they have played to the extreme to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Fans are prone to scolding Thibodeau, but from Brunson to Hart, they are praising the manager... From the perspective of the team's investors, they must also recognize his coaching, otherwise they would not have sent a contract extension.

I think Thibodeau can't do it, but have you ever thought about what a bad team the Knicks were before he came...

I think Thibodeau is a waste player, but have you ever thought that if you hadn't met him, Rose might not have an MVP...

So why does Rose break out every time he is under him?No coach trusts Ross more than Thibodeau and is willing to do more for him.

There is no denying that Thibodeau is to blame for the team's injuries, but it would be fair if the manager was to blame for everything.

So, if you ask me what I think about it, I think it's like the players want to.

Of the 30 teams in the NBA league, the number 360 person who entered the roster is not an open secret that many of the more than 300 players are unwilling to play under Thibodeau.

The reason is very simple, with the same monthly salary of 3000, one job is to blow the air conditioner and eat watermelon, and the other is to move bricks outside on a hot day, and the vast majority of people will choose the former.

Playing under Thibodeau is too tiring, and the stars and princes are not happy.

However, he doesn't need 360 people to play for him, just have about 10 "fish that slip through the net".

The alliance is so big, there are always people who are willing to be "cattle horses" and become warriors under Thibodeau.

For example, Brunson, Hart, DiVincenzo, Anunoby, including Hatten, who has already made a lot of money.

These players all have one characteristic: they are not princes, many of them have come out of the bottom of the NBA, and they are all eager to win the world.

Thibodeau is very suitable for these players.

I've always felt that there is something about this manager that he deserves recognition and respect.

Many fans may not know,Thibodeau, 66, unmarried,Single and did not start a family of his own.

Therefore, many players with good relationships will ridicule Thibodeau like this:He is married to basketball.

Thibodeau did an outrageous thing: when there was only a month and a half left before the wedding, he broke up with his fiancée.

His personal explanation is:“If I were to become a basketball coach, there would be no room for women in my life anymore. ”

Ross once said that it doesn't matter what time you call him, basketball is all he has in life.

If you have dinner with him, he'll probably draw you tactics on a napkin...

When he was an assistant coach with the Rockets, he came to China in the offseason to train with Yao Ming...

Jeff Van Gundy once said,From the day he met Thibodeau, 99.9% of the conversations between the two were related to basketball, and the remaining 0.1%, Thibodeau and Xiao Fan talked about the latter's daughter's recent situation.

He treats basketball almost to the point of madness. This paranoia has too many similarities with Kobe.

Some loved him, and some hated him.

So, what I want to express today is that it's always simple to complain about a person, but I also hope to see the shining point of Thibodeau.

As a coach, he really deserves Resbhai in some ways.
