Do you think Mike Brown is good? As soon as he became a coach in the Kings team, the fake King became a real warrior. After winning the grizzly bear today, they have already won 7 consecutive victories, breaking into the western top four with 10 wins and 6 losses, and actually tied for the second place with the sun and the Nuggets.

Is there anything wonderful about coach Brown? Of course there is, but it is not fresh to say it. Brown’s method is to build confidence, make up his mind, clarify the core, and beat out the spirit of the team. It is very difficult for the Kings to become a champion-level defensive team like warriors, but the Warriors can be transplanted first. Therefore, the current King has already ranked first in the league offensive list, with an average score of nearly 121 points per game, which is the only team with more than 120 points. Even if one hundred rounds are converted to remove the rhythm factor, it is still ranked first with 119.

This is a great result, because the attack score ranking of the Kings last season was less than 110 points, 10 points less than now, and only ranked 24th in NBA.

Coach Brown came here for the first time, and only brought 16 games, so he branded the King with such a distinctive style. They concluded that their advantages have these three characteristics:

Counterattack by speed

Shooting accuracy

Bench depth

Because Fox’s speed is extremely fast, Brown built the style of the Kings on his characteristics, emphasizing the conversion of attack and defense. A large number of conversions brought a lot of assists, the King’s assists were tied for the third place with Spurs for 28.3 times. Sabonis assists 8 times in this match against the grizzly bear alone.

You will definitely say, didn’t the coach of the King, little Walton, also come out of the Warriors? Didn’t Jin Terry, who succeeded little Walton, come out of the Warriors, why did they lead the team to win only 30 games?

In fact, the current king is defensive, but the rhythm is very fast, with many rounds and many points lost in defense. At present, the rhythm of the Kings ranks eighth. It’s just the level of defense of warriors. The King doesn’t have it yet. After all, the inner center of the Kings is Sabonis. His ability to protect baskets is relatively general, so the Kings lost as many points as restricted area near the basket, ranking second in the league.

But even at this fast pace, the king lost 116.9 points in defense, ranking 25th, and last season was the second-to-last, which was a little progress. It can also be seen from the game of playing the grizzly bear that the two teams had been playing a tug-of-war all the time. After 9 minutes in the third quarter, the king continuously robbed his opponent and made offensive fouls, the grizzly bear made five mistakes in total, thus hitting several waves of high-speed counterattacks and gaining a double-digit leading edge for the first time in the last 2 minutes. Fox, Monk and Terence Davis of the Kings were all very agile. Three of the four steals in the third quarter were when they broke Morant’s ball, another time was Davian Mitchell who broke Adams.

In the final analysis, the King’s turning over at the beginning of the season mainly depended on attack. You may ask again, isn’t Brown in charge of defense in the Warriors? Why did the king attack instead?

In fact, NBA coaches are all generalists, just famous by personal ID, such as Zen Master’s triangle attack, d’Antony’s 7-second attack, Adelman’s Princeton, etc. You let him lead the team, what kind of food do you have, what kind of ball does the boss want to play, and what style does he cultivate for you.

Before Brown came to the king, he was famous for his defense. When the Lakers looked for him, the Cavaliers all took a fancy to his specialty. In the Warriors, Brown has a defense, but he is also in charge of the overall, so he will not bring an attack, which is too small to see the NBA coach. When Brown was in the Cavaliers, he said that his attack concept was relatively simple, which was nothing more than multi-empty cut and multi-ball cover. In fact, it was simple and difficult to achieve the height of warriors.

The Kings chose Brown, which also depends on his defense, because the loss of points in defense last season was the second last. However, in the past summer, the selection and replacement of the general manager started from improving the attack, because the third hit rate of 34.4 percent last season was also ranked 25th. Hilde and Halliburton, who were able to shoot, left, so there were Hult and Monk.

The most important thing is that Fox’s three-pointer shot was opened.

In the game against the grizzly bear, fox scored 5 out of 8 points, which was his second single hit of 5 points this season. Fox used to be good at speed, and the three points were not accurate. In the first five seasons, the average was 32 percent, and last season even less than 30 percent. However, the new season’s Fox has been reborn. He has already reached 31 out of 76, and the hit rate has risen to more than 40% for the first time.

He dared to vote in the competition, and this confidence was given by Mike Brown. He encouraged them to shoot and seize all the opportunities of empty space and offensive and defensive conversion. Fox scored 5 in the first 7 shots, and the fifth three points entered at the beginning of the fourth quarter, bringing the King’s advantage to 13 points; At 6 minutes 8 seconds, Sabonis was attacked under the basket, according to the legend of the ball, Monk transferred to Barnes outside the line again, and he cut his hand. Barnes threw his third Third Point and the 14th in the team. The King’s advantage led to 14 points and stopped playing the grizzly bear. It was the key three points invested away from home that the king could save enough money for the last escape.

Fox is the epitome of the King’s active three points this season. Last season, the Kings made an average of 33.2 shots in three points, ranking 21st in the league. The first 16 games of this season have increased to 38.3, ranking sixth. The reason why they invested more was that they were not afraid of shooting. Their hit rate rose to 38 percent, ranking in the top five. For the grizzly bear, the Kings had just entered the fourth quarter with 40 three-point shots. This was their seventh single three-point shot this season, reaching 40 +, and the last 45 15.

Mike Brown seems to have a real skill of Healing Hands. Fox, who has always played a heavy role and played a light role, is now fully trained in the technology of China Investment Corporation. You see, his hit rates of 2 points and 3 points have reached a professional high, except for the distance from 5 m to three point line, the basket, 1 m to 3 m, and 3 m to 5 m all set personal records.

He always looked like a nice man, but Mike Brown was full of passion at the edge of the court. You can see this video. His voice was hoarse and the whole scene never stopped.

Sometimes he wished to play in person. He only hoped that the players would play faster, faster, move and move firmly, and be more determined. The following scene appeared in The King’s victory Knight. The Kings had a chance to fight back cap under the basket. Brown pushed Monk to the bottom corner and asked him to shoot quickly. Monk received the coach’s “assist” this time “, directly hit and stopped the opponent.

Why did Brown come up and develop the King’s attack first? This is the skill of being a coach and the way to survive.

The Kings have not entered the playoffs for 16 seasons, which is the longest failure record in NBA. If you don’t win, the audience won’t buy it, so the box office of the Kings last season was already the second lowest in the league. It is impossible for you to arouse the interest of fans and expect young players to learn playoff defense overnight. You can only let them run and vote to make the audience feel good.

In this process, Brown then instilled in them the idea of winning the ball, understood that winning the ball ultimately depended on defense, and finally got used to winning the ball. Let a team accustomed to losing have a market again, not to take them to win the championship immediately, but to make them play well.

Brown grew up in the Army environment since he was young. Discipline and selflessness were the ideas passed down to him by his father. When he was young, he went to the restaurant to practice shooting, and his father picked up the ball for him. Brown thought, why was he so patient that he didn’t vote for me but picked it up for me. He was still happy and didn’t bother at all?

Therefore, he now wants to teach these to the young people of the Kings. He challenged Fox to stimulate him to invest in defense. After imperceptibly, young people will eventually develop good defensive habits, just like warriors.

Therefore, Brown, who is also the coach of warriors, is really a little different.
