Not surprisingly, in the offseason Poole is going to eat a big contract of at least 4 years and 80 million, cutting 20+ in 11 consecutive games, Curry averaged 28 points per game after curry was absent, and the three-point shooting rate exceeded 50%, And Poole has already played a phenomenal performance. Of course, Poole's play can not be said to have nothing to do with the head coach, at least without Cole's trust, Poole can not get the current results. In fact, for the use of Pooler, Kerr is very bold, at least in the Warriors, Poole has met Bole. Obviously, there was only one person who could shoot super three-point shots and play unscrupulously before the Warriors, and that was Curry!
Curry can play as much as he wants, and he can score points! But Kerr also gave Poole the privilege of scoring points when he started as a shooting guard, he was responsible for impact, he was responsible for shooting those far three-pointers. When playing the bench, it is still the same, taking the ball to the basket, and now playing the starting core main force, or playing at random, Kerr gave him a lot of trust. In fact, the advantages and disadvantages of the original Poole are obvious, the advantages are excellent speed and breakthrough ability, and the projection ability is also quite prominent, but the shortcomings are also fatal. On the one hand, the defense is sparse, and on the other hand, the playing is in love with the head.
What is Cole's request for Poole? Not practicing good defense can not get his approval, so now Poole is seriously defending every game, his playing opportunities, the number of shots are almost all in the defensive end, with the defense Cole slowly gave him a certain space and power. The same is true of Cumminga, at the beginning of the season, Cuminga almost won the title of "second smart", and he has all the shortcomings of Wiseman, even in the details, but how did Kerr adjust?
The first step is to practice defense, the defense is not passed is that there is no playing time, when the strength of the defense comes up, there will be a certain chance to play. Learned to defend is not counted, began to let Cuminga as a blue collar, do not let him hold the ball, do not let him attack low, when to practice the free throw and the bottom corner three points to have offensive discourse, and then play Cuminga's free throws and three points are practiced, Kerr so give the ball, Cuminga is simply a small "mushroom" in the Golden State. Whether you admit it or not, the Warriors' rookie player is a similar base salary player who was trained by Kerr, of course, the credit does not dare to say that it is all his, but at least in terms of employment, he activated these two people.
Cole's mode of training newcomers is a bit like Popovich, not rushing to achieve, practicing little by little, slowly adapting you to the rhythm of the game, and gradually becoming the core of the team. And it must be admitted that Kerr is indeed more bold in the use of personnel, sometimes there will be some unintelligible lineups, but only he dares to use it, the Warriors season has not dared to say that the rotation lineup has been determined, maybe even Kerr himself is still pondering, who should be brought to the playoffs? But from the current situation, Kerr has his own set of things, no matter how far the team can go, at least this season he has successfully trained!
