Amar'e Stoudemire indirectly criticized Mike D'Antoni while praising current head coach Mike Woodson.

Stoudemire稱讚總教練伍德森，同時也間接批評了丹東尼。

"I think having a defensive coach for the first time in my career is going to help,'' Stoudemire said after practice in Greenburgh on Wednesday. "I've never been taught defense in my whole career. So to now have a coach who actually teaches defense and teaches strategies and knows positioning and posture and how to guard different plays, it's going to be helpful.''

“我覺得，這是在我的職業生涯中第一次有防守型的教練來幫我”
Stoudemire在週三訓練結束後說道。

“在我整個職業生涯從來沒有人教過我防守。所以現在有教練教我防守和戰術、瞭解自己的定位及如何防守不同的球員，這將會幫助我很多。”

Stoudemire vowed to improve his defense in his new bench capacity.
"I'm taking it as a challenge,'' he said. "I'm going to accept the challenge.
And I'm going to try to improve as a player."

Stoudemire誓言要加強他的防守功力。
“我把它視為一個挑戰，''
我接受這樣的挑戰。並且嘗試成為一個更為精進的球員。”
