Chapter 269: Days in Princeton (7)
“… You don't think Princeton will win the championship, I don't think I will, or I never thought we'd make it to the last game and beat Duke to win the final trophy! ”
"But the fact that we did, maybe you'd say it's a miracle, yes, it's a miracle, we're the underdogs in the NCAA, but now we're champions!"
“… I'm honored to be able to coach the Princeton Tigers for a period of time like this, and there's no better experience than this. ”
April 3, 1982 is a day destined to be remembered by history, or at least a day that will be recorded in the history of Princeton University, Princeton University finally eliminated Duke University led by Coach K with a total score of 89-85, and finally won this year's championship, creating a miracle in Princeton's history.
As the biggest creator of this miracle, Junxin naturally couldn't escape the swarming media reporters, who were blocked at the door of the stadium and couldn't get out.
"How did you do that?" The reporters naturally had a stubborn mentality towards Junxin, who created this miracle, and asked the same question over and over again, without feeling bored at all.
"I've already said that the combination of my right tactics, my strong execution, and the combination of strong players who can execute these tactics is the biggest reason why we were able to beat Duke."
In fact, Junxin feels that he is a very lucky person, and in his opinion, winning this game is also very lucky. If it weren't for Junxin's experience of directly playing against Coach K of Duke University, so as to discover the shortcomings of Coach K in some aspects, and then obtain some hidden data of Duke University players through high-intensity mathematical simulations, and finally formulate special tactics to consume the physical energy of Duke University players, I am afraid that they would lose Princeton University in the end.
In fact, the tactics formulated by Junxin are also very adventurous, he split the No. 5 tactic, applied some of the ideas to the defense, and won the maximum physical consumption through the full-court pressing defensive method, thus narrowly reducing the strength of the Duke University players to the minimum, and Princeton began to use the Princeton tactics on the offensive end, reducing a lot of physical consumption, and waited until the physical fitness of the players in Duke University declined, and then used the No. 5 tactic, and overtook Duke University in one fell swoop. Won the competition in the end.
"Jun, you seem to know their physical consumption well, but I'm afraid this tactic is only you can use in the world, and other coaches are probably not so interested in your tactical method that requires extreme calculation and thinking!" Coach Pique said to Junxin with a smile, and at this time, they finally got rid of the media and boarded the nearest plane to New York.
Junxin shook his head and said: "The biggest risk of this tactic is the accurate analysis of the opponent, in fact, if we hadn't played against Duke University in the regular season, we wouldn't have won this game." ”
"But anyway, the end result is good!" Coach Pique doesn't care about the twists and turns in between.
"That's right, we're champions, that's enough." Junxin also nodded and did not refute.
"I don't know what kind of ceremony the school has prepared to receive us!" Coach Pique said wistfully. For the welcoming ceremony prepared by Princeton, except for Junxin, no one on the plane could not help but care about such a glorious moment. They are not, like Junxin, who are warmly welcomed when they return to Princeton at some point in the future because of their academic excellence. Their group of basketball players may only have such a chance to show their faces in front of the whole school teachers and students once in their lives.
"Jun, are you really not playing anymore?" Coach Pique asked, staring at Junxin.
"It's enough to have such an experience, there's no need to go again. Besides, my main work is always on scientific research, and if I don't do scientific research, it will be the biggest loss for me! Regarding the idea of joining a basketball team to coach a basketball team, Junxin really never had this idea, and naturally rejected Coach Pique's question.
"Well, without you, I'm afraid Coach K won't have a way to take revenge!" Coach Pique said with a smile.
At this time, Junxin suddenly thought of the old Coach K, who was the head coach of Duke University, after the game, gritted his teeth, and it was also a sudden burst of relief, at this time, the old K coach has not reached the level of the world's top coach, and his emotions are still quite serious, which is very different from the K coach that Jun believes in his confidence.
"That will be a long time later!" Junxin's eyes changed for a while, and he shook his head and said. In Junxin's view, I am afraid that the two will not have the opportunity to communicate in business in the future, he will not coach a basketball team again, and in the same way, it is impossible for Coach K to engage in academics, and the relationship between the two can only end here.
"Okay, I still think it's better to guess what the school will do to welcome us!" After Jun Xin cleaned up his mood, he changed the topic with a smile.
"I think the principal will greet us with a lot of reporters!"
"I think it's going to be a big welcome ceremony and then give us enough bonuses!"
"I think ......"
"What do you think?"
"I'm afraid we won't finish this year!" A hint of strangeness flashed in Junxin's eyes, and he probably knew what the school's welcoming ceremony looked like.
"Fitzlandorf Gate?"
"I'm afraid so!" Junxin nodded.
"Haha, don't be afraid that you won't be able to finish your studies, I think Principal William may be able to let you graduate smoothly for the sake of this trophy!" Coach Pique was also a bit of a belliger.
Before 1970, the door was only opened to important people or graduates, but after the graduating class in 1970 collectively asked the school committee to open the door permanently, a legend was born that anyone who walked through this gate during the four years of university life would not be able to complete their studies.
"Legends are legends after all, how can they be taken seriously?"
"What are you afraid of, if you can get this championship trophy, even if you can't finish your studies, it's not a big deal!"
"I'm already imagining the faces of those guys on the school committee when you graduate!"
"Hahaha..."
