Arte strives to be the head coach of the Knicks. He became famous due to the NBA Auburn Palace incident and still misses Kobe

This season, the Knicks performed well, defeating the Detroit Pistons, sixth in the East 4:2 in the first round, and defeating the defending Celtics 4:2 in the second round. After 25 years, the Knicks reached the Eastern Conference Finals again.

Unfortunately, the Eastern Conference Final lost 2:4 to the fourth Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference. After being eliminated, the Knicks made an amazing decision. The team fired head coach Hebdock without warning.

The dismissal of Hibberdu is not unreasonable. The Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals stabilized the situation with their second team performance, while Hibberdu is more persistent in starting players, and the lineup is too old-fashioned. The starting five tigers averaged more than 33 minutes per game, and only two substitute players averaged more than 13 minutes per game!

NBA famous reporter Shams also revealed that the Knicks hope to find a coach who can realize the potential of a substitute player.

Just when the Knicks were still in the twilight, former Lakers legend Ci Shiping volunteered.

Ci Shiping is believed to be familiar to everyone, that is, Artest of the Rockets era.

Atai is most famous for the "Auben Mountain Palace Incident". In 2004, the notorious Auburn Mountain Palace Battle broke out. At that time, some fans satirized Artest and said, "You can knock down one now."

As a result, after Artai and the fans in the stands were fragrant, some fans threw a beer can at Artai. Artai rushed forward and beat the audience, which angered the NBA management and banned Artai for 86 games.

Because Artest is a player who is good at fouls and fouls, Arte has targeted Kobe a lot during the Fire Lake War.

But after joining the Lakers, Atai grew up a lot, became mature and steady, and he also specially changed his name to "Charity, World Peace".

The reason why Ci Shiping changed so much is inseparable from two people, one is Zen master Phil Jackson and the other is Kobe.

Until more than five years after Kobe's death, Ci Shiping's social avatar was still Kobe, which shows his respect for Kobe.

After Thibodeau was fired, TMZ Sports interviewed Ci Shiping, who confidently stated that the Knicks could stop looking for a coach and that no one was more suitable to coach the New York Knicks than him.

Ci Shiping also said that he really wanted to get the opportunity to coach the Knicks, and took the initiative to contact the Knicks' management and was preparing for it.

After retiring, Ci Shiping does have a lot of coaching experience. He has coached the South Bay Lakers in the Development League, and has coached the Palisades High School girls’ basketball team for several years. He is currently a member of the coaching staff of the California State University Los Angeles women’s basketball team.

It all happened after he played with some of the NBA's best coaches (Phil Jackson, Rick Carlisle and Rick Adelman, among others) for 15 years and led the Lakers to the championship in 2010.
