Many people have questions about Cole's use of compression, which allows Thompson to always throw and dribble on the court. In this article, we will talk about this problem.
After Thompson's comeback, the Warriors began to decline, and then caught up with Curry's injury, and the record fell badly, so everyone thought that the Warriors might travel in the playoffs. That's an impersonal summary, as the Warriors have been to the top of the West this season and have a good chance of returning to the top.
However, there are also calm people who can see that the Warriors' ability values in various positions have not improved much, and they are even worse than the championship season.
The lack of ability and experience is likely to bring about a false prosperity, and the current decline in performance can also partly explain this problem. We saw the Grizzlies still 20-2 after losing their head card, which is really strong! Compared with the Grizzlies, the Warriors are a bit insufficient.
Linked to the Warriors' previous success, it is the development of Curry and Thompson as the structure of the pass cutting system, the peak level of this system, that is, the first in history, there is no doubt. Therefore, a coach who has developed the first system in history is difficult to find other improvement plans when the ability of the system declines.
So we see that even if the Warriors need to develop young players, they have not trained Wiseman's personal favorite offensive tendencies. Poole is now heavily weighted, more because Cole has to do it, and Poole is becoming more and more similar to Curry. After waiting for Wiseman to return, we will see that Kerr still maintains the Warriors system, stacking more shots on the outside and then vacanting some of Wiseman's functions.
That's Cole's limitation.
In this layer of limitations, he insisted on trying to cultivate his playing feeling after Thompson's comeback, which was nothing more than maintaining the glory of the warrior system.
In fact, the Warriors, in addition to the Big Three, have a lot of personnel changes, and it is unlikely that they will win the championship in the same mode, and these role players are too young to take on those complex tasks that need to be calmed down at certain moments.
Payton is my favorite young player, only he is most like Iguodala. You can't find a man like Livingston on the current Warriors.
The Warriors' genes are waves, and Curry's characteristics are also waves, so their shots do not pay too much attention to rationality. Thompson is also known for being decisive and brave enough, but the Pinnacle Warriors have a lot of quiet details that people like Iguodala and Livingston play.
There's nothing wrong with Kerr not rushing to reform, and the Warriors may have a chance at ZTE, which spurs have done. However, the Spurs have cultivated a top star-level figure in any time period to transition.
Is it Cumminga, or Poole, or Wiseman?
If you fully cultivate Wiseman, it will affect the habitual playing style of the Warriors system, but I think Wiseman's ceiling is the highest, then he will be the most troubled young man in the Warriors.
Personally, I think that the combination of Cumminga and Wiseman's interior line has a long-term nature and is also very valuable for cultivation, and the Warriors should try to complete it. Once successful, they can naturally transition the responsibility of external attacks to the inside line, so that the resources are used properly. Of course, this is not a simple road, it may take time, but also requires top-level design.
Then Poole, probably more like a full substitute for Curry, their style is infinitely closer. During Curry's injury suspension, He simply used Poole as Curry. Naturally, it is still necessary to increase Poole's ball possession, increase the number of times he cooperates with Green, and temporarily let Thompson return to the original Thompson.
Thompson at his peak, the most important thing is also shooting ability, now there is no need to increase his flexibility to hold the ball to exercise his sense of hand, I don't think there is any need. Increasing his shots and limiting his position may be a better way.
