Original title: Why don't the five little warriors work?
In this season's decisive moment, Kerr especially likes to replace Rooney, and the lineup of Curry, Thompson, Green, Wiggins and Poole seems to be the same as the original five, but the actual effect is not satisfactory, why this result? Let me first look at the original five small, the earliest was Iron Triangle + Barnes and a brother, later Iron Triangle + Durant brother, although the three points of the first brother and Barnes at that time were unstable, but the shooting rate of open three-point shooting was nearly four percent, plus height and weight, defensive rebounding and frame protection ability was not too bad, so the efficiency value was very high.
Later, Durant replaced Barnes, and his three-point and mid-range shooting breakthroughs improved, and he did not lose in the frame and rebounds, so the efficiency value was further improved. Therefore, it can be said that it is the strongest five small lineups in history. But now replacing Durant with Poole, the rebounding frame and interference shooting ability are weaker, while the three-point mid-range and breakthrough ability have not improved, so the efficiency value has dropped a lot.

Although it is true that the effect of Upper Poole is not good now, he is shorter and sometimes has no board. But the last few minutes are all about speeding up the offensive and defensive transitions, where everyone can shoot threes, open up space, and play an instant split or tie. Rooney is good to use, but sometimes not all lineups can play him. Poole's position is much better if it is a 2.01 Zuogu 3D effect.
Instead, replacing Poole (the Warriors' starting lineup) with Rooney is more balanced offensive and defensive, and has proven to be the league's best five. So why didn't Cole use it? It's likely that Cole wanted to bet on Poole's three-point and breakaway to bring unexpected benefits, but it turned out to be wishful thinking.
Also old, in the past, everyone pulled out and could defend, and seizing the opportunity to make a mistake to counterattack and push the fast attack was a wave of climax. Now Green is old, the defensive threat is not so great, Klay outside defense is not good, the foot movement speed is too slow, Curry's defense is not at the top, to put it bluntly, the outside line is named, the inside line is punished, plus the bench, there is no universe as deep as it was then, naturally not working, it depends on Poole, low temperature and Kuminga can solve the bench problem.
The two most important people have just returned from injury and have to find their state, and it can be said that they were also dragged down by these masters in the team, and there is no point in spraying coaches and players this season, and the root in the management's team building strategy is completely funny.
