Officially confirmed, many years of contract renewal, Stevens detonated the alliance, and the Celtics could not sit still

In the NBA offseason, it has always been a critical stage for various teams to compete secretly and actively plan their plans. The New York Knicks' reinforcement movements are extremely crazy. They attacked everywhere, spared no effort to try to poach the head coaches of other teams. This radical and aggressive approach has caused quite a stir in the league. Many teams deeply felt the tremendous pressure from the New York Knicks, just like facing a ferocious beast, always worried that their coach would be "swallowed" by him. For those teams with excellent coaches, the management is even more restless. They had to re-examine their cooperative relationship with the coach carefully, and some teams even had no choice but to take the initiative to talk to the coach about the contract renewal. Although this move is a bit helpless, it is a necessary response against the backdrop of the New York Knicks' crazy poaching.

Just when everyone thought that the New York Knicks would restrain their poaching behavior due to the "airdrop" of new coach Mike Brown, the Boston Celtics suddenly made efforts. It has been confirmed by authoritative media from many parties that the Celtics had reached a consensus on renewal with coach Mazula and signed a multi-year contract extension. At present, the specific period of renewal and the details of the contract have not been announced to the public, but this news undoubtedly injected a shot of a heart-warming shot to the Celtics fans, giving them a reassurance. Although Mazula is only 37 years old, she has shown extraordinary talent in the field of coaching. As a member of the Celtics, he was undoubtedly lucky. If it weren't for the promotion of young coach Stevens, Mazula might have had a chance to take over the Celtics' coaching staff. Since taking over the Celtics for three seasons, he has led the team with Double Tanhua as the core, leading the team to successfully enter the playoffs for many years. You should know that the competition in the NBA is extremely fierce, and every season there will be many strong teams competing fiercely for the playoffs. Mazula was able to lead the Celtics into the playoffs every year, which was enough to demonstrate his outstanding coaching ability and reasonable and exquisite tactical arrangements.

And in the 2023-2024 season, Mazula's career ushered in a new highlight moment, and he led the team to create glory. He helped the team win the 18th NBA championship in team history, and this achievement is of great significance to the Celtics, which has a brilliant history. Mazula focuses on cultivating young players and is good at exploring their potential, making the team's lineup more reasonable and diverse. The game style he created is like a beacon, becoming a weather vane in the new era of basketball, providing new ideas and references for other teams. However, Mazula's coaching philosophy of focusing on court space and projection has been criticized by Celtics' history legend Bob Cousy. Especially after the home team failed in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, Bob Cousey became increasingly dissatisfied with the coaching staff arrangements.

In an interview with the Boston Globe, Celtics famous actor Bob Cousy mercilessly pointed out the shortcomings of the head coach's tactical arrangement, especially the use of three-pointer tactics. It is true that in the current trend of basketball development, it is understandable to emphasize space and projection, which is also a manifestation of adapting to the trend of the times. But if you rely too much on three-pointers, it is undoubtedly an unwise behavior. In Mazula's tactical system, he seems to be overly fond of using three-pointers as the primary offensive means, thus abandoning some practically tested and effective tactics. This approach, to Bob Cousey's opinion, is extremely stupid. Because basketball is a diversified competitive event, relying solely on a certain offensive method can easily be targeted and restricted by opponents, which will affect the overall performance of the team. I really don’t know if Mazula’s contract renewal will bring positive help to the team.
