From Rose to "Five Donkeys": The Knicks are glad that they have not followed the footsteps of the past, and Thibodeau s departure is a turning point?

As the Knicks stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals, the anger of New York fans reached its peak, and the team management then fired head coach Thibodeau, so the Knicks had no more five donkey tactics.

Tibodeau's use of players is indeed solid enough. Rumor has once said that it is necessary to reduce playing time. As a result, Thibodeau not only did not reduce him, but instead increased his time. From then on, no one within the team dared to speak out. Fortunately, when Thibodeau used the main force in this way, the Five Donkeys were basically not seriously injured, at least he had reserved hope for the Knicks!

We can look at the stars who were ruined by Thibodeau and you will know that the Knicks' five donkeys are relatively lucky:

1. Fengcheng Rose - Rose

Back then, Rose was the No. 1 pick, with gorgeous style, strong physical fitness, and a unique style of playing. He not only had explosive scores, dazzling dribbling skills, and was once the youngest MVP. But so what? He still has to pull the ground under Thibodeau's hands, and his playing time remains high. Finally, in the first round of the 2012 playoffs, Thibodeau still allowed Ross to stay on the court while the team was already leading the score, resulting in Ross's cruciate ligament torn on the left knee and reimbursed the season.

Since then, Ross has been injured and no longer has his former charm. After going around several teams, he occasionally performed brilliantly! The roses withered. This may be Chicago's eternal pain!

2. Jimmy Butler

When Thibodeau coached the Timberwolves, Butler also worked like a cow and horse under Thibodeau. Bridges is Butler of the past. Butler, who has always been known as a tough guy, couldn't stand this use and eventually got injured in the meniscus. Minnesota fans have also begun to criticize Thibodeau's use of players. Fortunately, Butler's injury is not as devastating as Ross, and he can maintain good shape afterwards.

3.Jokin Noah

Noah was a good partner in the inside of the Bulls at that time. The two often played pick-and-roll tactics and once became the inside of the Bulls' most relied on by their double-double averages.

But with the same problem, Noah felt like he was not a substitute. The normal game was just a pause to drink water, and the rest of the time seemed to be on the court. The long-term physical overdrawn finally made Noah unable to withstand it. His ankles, knees, and shoulders gradually burst, and he was injured and gradually faded out of people's eyes!

So, New York fans should be glad that at least after the Eastern Conference Finals, the main players can still play normally! This comparison shows that the body of the Five Donkeys in New York is really good enough! And they don’t have to worry about excessive fatigue next season, which is also good news!
