Steve Cole compared this team to previous ones. The
NBA era has changed. This is a fact that Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Cole knows well. As the first round of the playoffs progressed, Cole took the opportunity to compare the team with Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry to the team led by the Splash Brothers.
Kehl compared the game styles of the two teams.
"We play very differently," Cole said via ESPN. "We don't need to make so many unball runs right now, which is a luxury, because the defense in the playoffs is already very solid, and we've experienced many series, such as the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2016, the Rockets in 2017 and 2018, and the opponents used their switch to cut off a lot of our unball runs. But with Jimmy, you don't need unball runs."
"You just have to pass the ball to him and open up the space, and when you need to score, Everyone is tired and the game is in jeopardy, and for me, Jimmy is the best choice in the league. I'm talking about LeBron [James], Luca [Doncic], Giannis [Antetokounmpo], I don't care, whatever you say, Nikola [Jokic], they are all the best players in the world. "Jimmy is in that case, and we can pass the ball to him without running eight different off-ball covers for Stephen or Klay [Thompson], which gives us a completely different dimension. "The Warriors are fighting for the last championship, even if they're different. What makes the Warriors stand out in Game 3? The Golden State Warriors beat the Rockets in Game 3. Stop Jaylen Green from playing a key role. "We just let Jaylen attack a little and he got the space," Curry said through NBC Sports. "He has no reason to shoot 18 three-pointers. "We have to find a way to control his position on the court. Those three-pointers are used to create opportunities and can widen the gap... we let him play freely."
Draymond Green talked about the efforts to limit Green.
"We just played harder," Draymond said. "He was literally free to play in Houston the other day. So we just made sure to play more. Not just Jaylen, but everyone. Just made sure they feel more pressure on us on the defensive end." The Warriors' goal is to replicate this strategy in Game 4.
