Harrington: d’Antony never trained defense when he took the Knicks
Live Bar, August 8th recently, former NBA player Ale-Harrington participated in the Bootleg Kev podcast, talking about coach d’Antony who played for the Knicks.
He said: “I just think if we tried to defend, we could have become a better team. We have never actually done anything for defense, nothing. I have never practiced rotation and transposition, and there is nothing. If we can’t defend, how do you expect us to win? One day, Larry Hughes and I went to him before training, and we said, ‘Coach, we know that defense is not a priority, but we are all willing to start training three or ten minutes in advance (additional defense). ‘”
“We fucking want to win, brother. He was very angry and said, ‘do you think this is because of defense? Do you think defense is a problem? “We said,” Yes, we can’t defend anyone. We didn’t know how to rotate and change positions. We didn’t communicate on the defensive side. Yes. ‘”
