Earlier this week, Knicks coach Jeff Hornasek had told reporters that his team would switch back to triangle attack mode for the rest of the season, but today he made his own comments, saying that team coach Phil Jackson only wants the team to use this ancient offensive system when necessary.
"What he said wasn't that he wanted us to play like this for 48 minutes," Hornasek told Espn Knicks reporter Ian Bergley. "He understands that some of the rounds can be played like this, and most of the rounds are not fixed tactics. Many times it is improvisation, reading defense, on-the-spot selection, there will be a lot of random blocking tactics. But about 30%-40% of the time is a dead ball, or the game is very slow, at this time you must design tactics to play. ”
