Knicks wanted to "steal home" Rockets coach but was rejected, the answer to the best coach in Houston is released

With the start of the finals, after Halliburton narrowly won the away win to win G1, the spotlight on the court naturally once again gave Halliburton the Pacers core who completed four finals and quasi-final kills this year's playoffs; but the praise for the team coach Carlisle off the court is also very high, and more and more people have begun to study and pay attention to Carlisle's coaching career and tactical system, how to bring a team with a not-luxurious lineup into the finals and have a good start.

In addition, the New York Knicks, who were eliminated by the Pacers, also announced that they had waived head coach Thibodeau, and many fans were feeling sorry for the coach. In the past, Thibodeau was always criticized for using only 8-man rotation, transitioning to the use of starters and stars, resulting in an increase in the risk of injury in the playoffs and a poor record. However, this year the Knicks made great progress and entered the Eastern Conference Finals. With a 0-2 trailing, the stubborn Thibodeau rarely changed the lineup and added rotation. In the three games from G3 to G5, the Knicks won 2 of them.

It is reported that the Knicks management targeted the Rockets' head coach Uduka after firing Thibodeau, but was rejected by the Houston management. In fact, Uduka and Thibodeau are both defensive coaches of the same kind. The Knicks have relatively mature stars and starting lineups, while the Rockets are more young potential new stars. Therefore, when the team is in a stalemate, they often lose their opponents because no one can score. If Uduka coaches the Knicks, their record may be higher.

However, Uduka does have a slight lack of offensive tactics. He can turn the young Rockets into a top defensive team in the league, but he is somewhat helpless in the offense of team basketball. Carlisle brought the Pacers to pass the game, and then looking back at the core Halliburton's scoring data is not excellent. The team averaged 7 players in double digits per game, and 5 players averaged more than 6 points per game, with 12 players rotating and having offensive scoring ability and opportunities.

Comparing the substitute talent of the Rockets and Pacers, the Rockets can even crush the opponent. They also scored 7 points per game and scored in double digits, but Whitmore, Shepard, Landal and Tate were DNP all year round. Carlisle's coaching philosophy is to weaken the stars and allow more players to participate in the offense. This is undoubtedly the coach who is most suitable for the current Rockets lineup. However, even if the Pacers cannot win the championship this year, I believe Carlisle is a non-sale product for the team, just like Halliburton, and it is difficult for the Rockets to change their coach.
