The NBA playoffs continued, and today the Warriors continued to sit at home against the Grizzlies, eventually winning 101-98 against the Grizzlies. Cole can't play in this game, Brown is the interim head coach of this game, and Brown has confirmed that he will coach the Kings next season, so this game is also equivalent to a training game for him. In the end, he did not live up to everyone's expectations, and finally helped the team to reverse the game with difficulty.
The Warriors were able to win this game, and the person they need to thank, including Brown, is Stephen Curry. Curry scored 18 points in the final quarter, becoming an absolute contributor to the Warriors' ability to win, in fact, this game is also a test of Brown's coaching ability to a certain extent. Judging from this game, he still has a big gap compared to Kerr. Cumminga was discarded after playing just 5 minutes in his debut today, but Brown's employment is still debatable. After all, Damian Lee, who replaced Cuminga, did not perform too well in the game.
Although Iguodala did not appear in this series, he also played a very important role off the field, on the one hand, he could calm the mentality of the players, and he also had his own judgment on the situation on the field. With 45 seconds left in the final moments of today's match, the two sides were tied, and who noticed Iguodala's move at that time? Iguodala walked silently to the coaching bench. Then after Curry hit the free throw, he pointed to Porter and motioned for Potter to play, and Iguodala, dressed in civilian clothes, looked like a head coach for a moment. It already seems to have a bit of a head coach's shadow.
Iguodala let Porter play to complete a crucial defensive time. I have to say that this adjustment is very timely, which is also the adjustment that Cole has always had when he is coaching. It has to be said that Iguodala has accumulated a lot of experience under Cole's coaching, not only on the field, but also a lot of coaching experience. If the future brother retires as a head coach, fans should not be surprised, after all, he has such ability, he is a conductor on the field, and being a coach off the field is not a particularly difficult thing for him.
Iguodala's move today reminds us of Rondo before, who was also committed to becoming a manager after retiring. Iguodala and Rondo are similar in that they are both excellent conductors on the pitch. So off the pitch if they can be a head coach, there should be a smooth transition. I don't know what the fans think?
