For D'Antoni, renouncing the principle that "the ball handler has higher priority on the court than others" was difficult. But compared to being jobless, this matter seemed not so difficult after all.
September 15th arrived, with the New York Knicks' closed training camp officially beginning.
D'Antoni handed Su Wan a self-challenging answer sheet.
Per Su Wan's request, he had added a lot of wing isolation tactics to the game plan. However, in the end, he still expressed his viewpoint, "Too much ball-handling offense will slow down the team's offensive rhythm!"
A slower offensive rhythm meant fewer offensive rounds.
With players shooting less frequently, the abundant firepower of the New York Knicks would not be fully displayed.
In D'Antoni's view, the New York Knicks' roster was fully equipped for the Magic Ball Strategy.
