The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and tomorrow the Warriors and Grizzlies will usher in the G4 of the series, with the Warriors taking a 2-1 lead in the first three games. Tomorrow's G4 is a very critical game, if the Warriors can win, then they will get the match point, if the game is dragged by the Grizzlies into the battle of Tianwangshan, then the home advantage held by the Grizzlies is not conducive to the Warriors, so the next G4 is a game that the Warriors must go all out to win.
But just as the Warriors' entire team was trying to advance to the Western Conference Finals, bad news came. According to reporter Woj, the Kings have reached an agreement with Warriors assistant coach Mike Brown on a 4-year contract, and Brown will also be the first person to leave the Warriors at the end of the season. In fact, Mike Brown's departure is reasonable but unexpected, because Brown was already a mature NBA team manager before becoming a coach for the Warriors, and in 2007 Brown led the Cavaliers to the Eastern Conference Championship, and was elected best coach in 2009.
In 2016, Mike Brown joined Kerr's coaching team under the strong recommendation of his master Popovich, and in the first two years of joining the team, Brown helped the Warriors win two consecutive championships. Brown's main responsibility in the Warriors is to grasp the team's defense, we all know that the Warriors' "death five small" is not only offensive horror, defense is also worthy of the name. This season, the Warriors were able to return to the playoffs and take the lead in the second round, and Brown's defensive arrangement was equally creditable. So Mike Brown is very important for the Warriors and Kerr.
It is believed that after 8 years of precipitation, Brown's coaching ability will be on the next level, coupled with his experience in winning the Championship with the Warriors, it will definitely bring changes to the Kings. You must know that the Kings have not made the playoffs in 16 years, and in the past ten years, the Kings' coaches have changed one after another, and none of them can pull the Kings out of the quagmire.
This time, the Kings pinned their hopes on Mike Brown, and if Brown could lead the Kings back to the playoffs, he would also have a chance to compete for another trophy of Coach of the Year, while also proving that he wasn't just James. It's just that Brown's departure has made it a bit difficult for Warriors coach Kerr, after all, he has worked with Brown for many years, and the Warriors have a hard time finding a suitable head coach like Brown!
