EXPERIENCE
Few legacies are as hotly contested as Mike D’Antoni’s. He isbest known for being the architect of the seven seconds or less Phoenix Suns ofthe mid 2000’s, a team that revolutionized the way the game is played in the NBA. Although the teamcontended for a title nearly every year that he coached, they never made it outof the Western Conference. Their loss to the Spurs in the Western ConferenceSemi-Finals in 2007 was especially heartbreaking. They lost home courtadvantage in Game 1 when Steve Nash was forced out of the game in the finalminutes due to a cut nose. They fought back to even the series, but were forcedto play without Amar'e Stoudemire and Boris Diaw in Game 5 due to a veryquestionable suspension.
After leaving Phoenix, D’Antoni went on to have failed stints with the Knicksand Lakers. In both instances, he inherited unreasonably high expectations androsters that were ill-suited to play his style of basketball. Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant are both infamous ball stoppers, a trait that is incompatible withD’Antoni’s fast, free flowing offense. In regards to the Lakers, the starstudded team was cursed with injuries to both Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, whoplayed the entire season at half strength due to a surgically repaired back.D'Antoni clashed with both Carmelo in New York and Kobe in L.A. and earned areputation of being somewhat confrontational with superstar players. D'Antoniwas paid handsomely for his time with the Knicks and Lakers and will likelyrequire a fairly sizable contract to lure him to Denver as well as some inputon the roster going forward.
经历
很少有人像麦克-德安东尼一样饱受争议的。他于2000年代中期在菲尼克斯太阳缔造的7秒或更少使其闻名于世,使NBA的比赛方式发生了革命性的变化。尽管他执教时球队几乎每年都是争冠热门,他们还是从未冲出西区。他们2007年在西区半决赛输给马刺特别令人心痛。当史蒂夫-纳什在比赛结束前因撞伤鼻子被迫退赛,他们第1场就丢掉主场优势。他们又拼回了,但在G5不得不失去小厮和迪奥因为非常有疑问的停赛
离开菲尼克斯后,德安东尼连续在尼克斯和湖人不得意。在这2次经历中,他担负毫无理由的过高期望,而阵容又不适合他的篮球风格。卡梅隆-安东尼和Kobe Bryant都是出名的球塞,其特点与德安东尼的快速、自由流畅的进攻完全不搭调。在湖人的时候,球星闪耀的球队却遭受诅咒,老衲和火花双双受伤,赛季过半才从手术恢复中返回。德安东尼在纽约与卡梅隆,在LA与Kobe都发生过冲突,于是落下与超级球星争斗的名声。德安东尼从尼克斯和湖人那儿都得到可观的报酬,可能会需要一份数额公平的合同来吸引他到丹佛,同时(球队)阵容也要做些补充
