The Kings defeated the Bulls with a score of 124-119, which for the Kings was just another routine victory in their recent streak. They have recently undergone a transformation and have won seven consecutive games, with a record of 20 wins and 19 losses, temporarily ranking ninth in the Western Conference, only half a game behind the eighth-placed Timberwolves. Moreover, with the Cavaliers losing to the Pacers on the same day, the Kings' seven-game winning streak has become the longest active streak in the league! Basketball Warrior noticed that among the seven victories, there were significant wins such as a 114-97 victory over the Eastern Conference's second-ranked Celtics by 17 points, a 138-133 win over the Western Conference's third-ranked Grizzlies, and a 110-100 victory over the Western Conference's fifth-ranked Mavericks. The Kings even defeated the Warriors by 30 points with a score of 129-99, which was quite unexpected. Why has the Kings experienced a transformation recently when they were once in a precarious position? The most direct factor is the change in the team's head coach. On December 27, 2024, the Kings officially announced the dismissal of Mike Brown, and assistant coach Doug Christie was appointed as the interim head coach. Mike Brown's coaching record for the Kings this season did not meet expectations, with a record of only 13 wins and 18 losses at the time of his dismissal, ranking 12th in the Western Conference, gradually falling behind the competitive Western Conference teams. In addition, according to media reports, during Mike Brown's tenure, there may have been rumors of…

The first coach to be fired in the 2024-25 season has been announced, and it's not who you might expect. It's not Rivers, Redick, or Kerr, but rather Mike Brown of the Kings! It seems that Brown is always on the verge of being fired. The team announced Brown's dismissal just before boarding a flight to Los Angeles for an away game, with assistant coach Doug Christie temporarily taking over the head coaching position. Prior to this, Brown had just completed a training session and conducted a 15-minute interview, only to find out he wouldn't be needed to fly to Los Angeles after all. Everything happened so suddenly! During his interview, Brown said, "When you're in trouble, you'll know who will help you." Just five minutes after saying this, news of his dismissal came through. So, the answer is: no one helps you. This summer, the Kings renewed Brown's contract for three years at $30 million (the contract expires in the 2026-27 season), so even though they've let him go, they still have to pay him. At the time of the renewal, it was said that Brown had broken the Kings' 20-year curse. Before Brown, the Kings hadn't renewed a coach's contract in 20 years; every coach either served one term or was dismissed before their contract expired. However, this curse seems to have only been half-averted, as Brown's dismissal still came about. Recalling the 2022-23 season, when Brown left his assistant coaching position with the Warriors to join the Kings, he was still considered a sweetheart. That year, Brown…

Team Discord! Officially Terminated! The First to Leave Is Indeed Him Beijing time, December 28th, according to ESPN's famous reporter Shams, the Kings and head coach Mike Brown have officially terminated their contract, parting ways. Assistant coach Doug Christie will serve as the interim head coach for the Kings. It is worth noting that during this offseason, the Kings just renewed their contract with Mike Brown for another three years at $30 million, which was set to expire in 2027.‌ In the 2022-23 season, Mike Brown led the Kings back to the playoffs after a 16-year absence, and he himself was awarded the Coach of the Year. It has only been a year and a half since then. However, due to the poor performance of the Kings this season and issues within the locker room, they have suffered five consecutive losses and are currently ranked 12th in the West with a record of 13 wins and 18 losses.‌ Yesterday, in the home game against the Pistons, with 10.8 seconds left, the Kings were leading by 3 points. If they could defend against the opponent's last attack, the Kings would win the game. The Pistons inbounded from the frontcourt sideline, and after a series of passes, Jaden Ivey received the ball at the baseline. He made an incredible 3+1 shot, causing Fox to miss his final shot, and Ivey completed the buzzer-beater.‌ No one expected this 3+1 buzzer-beater to become the catalyst for Mike Brown's dismissal. After the game, Mike Brown did not directly blame Fox, but spoke relatively tactfully: "At…
