After finalizing these more important and important things to think about, Junxin handed over all the things to President Zhu, and then set off with the team to the University of Pennsylvania.

The University of Pennsylvania, one of the Ivy League of Eight, is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is one of the world's top private research universities and one of the fourteen founding member schools of the Association of American Universities, an academic alliance of top universities in North America.

Founded in 1740 by Benjamin Franklin, a prominent American politician, physicist, jurist, and philosopher, Penn is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States, ranking fourth behind Harvard University, the College of William and Mary, and Yale University. It is also the birthplace of the first emerging institutions of higher learning in the United States.

Penn has North America's first medical school, its first business school, its first media school, and its first student union organization. Education at Penn is very developed, and the first general-purpose electronic computer in human history, ENIAC, was born at Penn, which is known as the birthplace of computers. In addition, the invention of rubella vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine has saved countless lives.

In addition, Penn has one of the strongest alumni networks in the world, including dozens of top award winners in their fields and many National Fellows.

By the end of 2014, the University of Pennsylvania had 4,318 professors, more than 10,000 undergraduates, and more than 11,000 graduate students. There are four Nobel Laureates in Physics, six Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, eight Nobel Laureates in Medicine and seven Nobel Laureates in Economics.

Penn alumni are all over the world, the world's richest man, the famous investor Warren Buffett, the first president of DuPont, Eugene DuPont, the first female president of Harvard University, Drew Gilpin Foster, and the ninth president of the United States, William Henry Harrison, are all distinguished alumni of the University of Pennsylvania.

The University of Pennsylvania also has a close relationship with our country, and Professor Chengtong Yau, a famous mathematician and the first Chinese Fields Medal winner, also graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. Famous architects Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, Lin Lanying, a famous Chinese physicist and mother of semiconductors, and Wang Jiaji, a famous biologist in China and a pioneer of Chinese propriology, are also outstanding alumni of Penn.

The University of Pennsylvania also has a strong athletic scene, with the school's football team winning 12 Ivy League championships between 1982 and 2003. Between 1970 and 2006, the school's basketball team won the Ivy League championship 22 times. That's a lot better than Princeton University.

The only time the Ivy League reached the NCAA Final Four was at the University of Pennsylvania, where the team lost to Michigan State University in Salt Lake City in 1979 and finished fourth.

Today's Penn basketball team is still very strong, which basically represents the best level of the Ivy League eight league. And because he reached the NCAA final four in the first two years, Pennsylvania has also called many good seedlings over the years. The strength of the team has been further strengthened, and this is a difficult bone for Junxin.

"It's a tough bone, Jun, do you have any countermeasures?" Princeton isn't too far from Philadelphia, in fact it's just over a two-hour drive. And in order to adjust the state of the game, it is natural to pass a few days in advance. Fortunately, the NCAA schedule is relatively relaxed, so a few days in advance is enough. And at this moment on the road to Philadelphia, Junxin is making targeted discussions with Coach Pique.

"Don't worry, Coach!" Junxin doesn't seem to be a little bit of a loser like Coach Pique, "If it was the University of Pennsylvania team in '79, maybe it would be more stressful for me, but after all, the current University of Pennsylvania is not two years ago, so I really don't need to be so jealous." ”

"Do you have any ideas?" Coach Pique was a little relieved when he heard this.

Junxin thought for a while and said, "The team at the University of Pennsylvania is a typical interior two-tower team, so their main offensive direction must be on the inside. ”

"The inside operation of the twin tower teams is not very complicated, mainly because the coordination between them is more troublesome. I've read the analysis of the situation you gave me, and I don't think it's very easy to completely eliminate two interior players, but if it's just one of them, I don't think it's a problem. ”

"Oh? What are you going to do? Coach Pique asked, his eyes lit up.

"I took a look at Penn's statistics, in their team, as the team's tactical core of the power forward Jason, in the last 20 games, the number of shots per game is 22, the scoring and rebounding are 21.6+12, most of which are frontcourt rebounds, assists, steals and blocks are relatively average, 1.2+0, 8+1.1, which shows that he is a relatively balanced player. But recently, when I was studying the distribution of his shooting and offense, I found a very interesting phenomenon. Jason's offense mostly starts from the left, receives a pass from the outside, pulls away the defense from the left, passes the ball to the center, and then goes around the baseline to the right to receive the ball. ”

"This offensive pattern accounts for about 70 percent of Jason's scoring in their offense. I think that's their main tactic, or one of the twin towers' core tactics. Since we can't defend, then what we have to do is cut off the connection between the two of them, so I think how to cut off Jason's scoring tactics will be key in the next defense. ”

"Do we have players like that in our squad?" Coach Pique agreed with Junxin's judgment, but he was skeptical that such a player could be found.

"It's really hard to find!" Junxin nodded. The key to defending this tactic is to interrupt the connection between the two or the rhythm of the attack, which is not an easy task. It requires a high level of game reading and a grasp of the offensive rhythm, and although the players from Princeton have a high IQ, it does not mean that the players are stupid. So it's still difficult to find such a player.

However, Junxin has no way to find such a player, which does not mean that he has no way to achieve this goal. I saw him say: "Basketball is not a one-person thing, if people can't do it, isn't there still cooperation!" ”
