The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 283 Princeton
A seemingly ordinary but expensive black Cadillac of the "King of Baths" slowly parked in front of a single-family villa, and a big black fat man with a gentle and happy appearance got out of the car.

The reason why he is said to be gentle is because he wears a pair of glasses, and the reason why he is said to be happy is because his smile never stops.

This sunny and cheerful boy in his 40s is the most popular head coach of the Kings today, Mike Brown.

With the outstanding performance of the Kings this season, Mike Brown once again won the honor of the best coach in the NBA. At the same time, he also became the third best head coach in the history of the Kings.

Of course, this is what he deserves.

Bringing a team that was the third-to-last in the Western Conference last season to the third-to-last in the Western Conference this season is enough for him to win this award.

The Kings also won the honor of the best head coach again after 1979 years since Cotton Fitzsimmons was elected in 35.

He took out a bottle of packaged red wine from the car, locked the car and knocked on the door of the villa.

After a while, the door opened, and what appeared inside was an old man with gray hair, wearing glasses, leaning on crutches, and hunched over.

"Long time no see, Coach Khalil!"

"Hey Mike, why are you here?"

The old man was surprised by Brown's arrival.

"I'll come and see you when I'm free!"

"Please come in!"

This is the time when the kings' series is in full swing. As the coach of the team, it is the busiest time. How could he be free to visit an old man like him?
However, the old man did not expose Coach Brown, nor asked him, but invited him in.

The old man's name was Pete Carrier. Ordinary people might be unfamiliar with him, but in the Ugly country's basketball circle, especially in the college basketball circle, his reputation and status were not low.

Because the famous Princeton system was developed by him.

From 1967 to 1996, Carrier served as the head coach of the Princeton University men's basketball team, leading the Princeton University men's basketball team to 13 Ivy League regular season championships.

After that, he served as an assistant coach of the Kings many times, including the gorgeous Kings in 02. He was an assistant coach until he officially retired in 2011.

If it weren't for the fact that he is 84 years old this year, he is really too old, and Coach Brown would have asked him to be a team assistant coach. The old man's experience and professional ability are really amazing.

"Your team played very well this season! Especially that Prince, really outstanding!"

On crutches, Khalil sat back on the sofa again.

Although Kalil is old, he is in good spirits, with clear thinking and orderly speech.

"You are so old, you still watch football? Are you afraid that your heart can't take it?"

Coach Brown put the red wine on the coffee table, and then sat beside Khalil.

"Hahaha, I've watched the ball all my life, and my heart has already suffered enough damage!"

The old man really loves football and has been engaged in basketball work all his life. If he is not allowed to watch the game after retirement, he might as well kill him!
"That's good, that's good! It seems that you haven't watched the King's game less recently?"

"Of course, I usually watch the game between Princeton and the Kings now! Speaking of which, has your King been in trouble recently?"

"Yes! It's a lot of trouble!"

"Tell me, isn't that why you came here?"

The old man has never seen such a big storm, so he naturally knows the meaning of Coach Brown's visit. Isn't it because he encountered difficulties and wanted to learn from it!

"Okay, now that you know everything, I'll say it directly! I want to ask you, what do you think if you use the current Kings team to play against the Princeton system?"

"Fighting the Princeton system? Now?"

"Of course not this round of the series, but a long-term team building idea!"

In fact, Coach Brown's coaching philosophy has been deeply influenced by the Princeton system.

Although he didn't let the team play the Princeton system this season, everyone worked together on the defensive end, and Lip played alone on the offensive end, a bit like James in the Cavaliers 1.0 period.

But he also knows that this is not what a team should look like, it's just limited by the strength of other players.

With the growth of the Kings' young players for a season, Coach Brown felt more and more that it might really be a good idea to let them play the Princeton system.

"That Prince is really suitable for the Princeton system. He has excellent shooting and passing awareness. If you take him as the axis, he is indeed better than Webber back then!"

Khalil had a good impression of Li Pu, and he envied Brown for coaching such a good player as Li Pu.

This is the MVP after all!
In terms of scoring ability, it is much better than Chris Webber back then!
"No, no, Pete, you misunderstood, I actually want Giannis to be the shaft!"

"Giannis? The rookie?"

"That's right! He was born as a point guard since he was a child, and his ability to hold and pass the ball is also very good. He is more suitable as a pivot. As for Prince, I want him to be a blaster!"

"This……"

Khalil frowned slightly at Brown's thought.

After all, Giannis is just a first-year rookie. To Khalil, he feels more like a player with the height of the [-]th position, but plays like a [-]rd position.

He is going to be an axis, among other things, just projecting this one, I am afraid that he will not be able to pass it!

If you can't form an offensive threat in the high position, how can you attract inside defenders and create air-cut opportunities for teammates?

"Pete, don't worry, I know Giannis' shooting is not good, not to mention, he is still young, whether he can practice it later, even if he can't, with his excellent ball-handling ability, as long as he can adapt to the confrontation in the NBA , you can form a certain offensive threat in the high position!"

Brown seems to have really thought about this issue for a long time, and he has already guessed Khalil's concerns.

"Since you have thought about it, then go ahead and do it. After all, you are the head coach. By the way, there is another prerequisite, that is, don't forget that you need Prince to give up the ball willingly?"

Khalil knows how difficult it is to make an MVP give up the ball!
"Don't worry about this, Pete. Even though Prince is young, he really doesn't care as much about the possession of the ball as you think!"

Seeing that Brown took everything into consideration, Khalil nodded in relief.

The head coach of the Kings, although he is young now, has outstanding abilities, which made him feel that in the not-too-distant future, this new Kings team will surpass their former 02 Kings team!

"So, you came today just to tell me this?"

"Yes! Otherwise?"

"I thought you would ask me how to adjust for tomorrow's game!"

"Hahaha, this matter is not a problem at all, we are already prepared!"

Speaking of this, Brown's smile is full of confidence!
