Curry retired from injury, can the Warriors still win? In fact, he has always been underestimated by us

First of all, I would like to congratulate the Warriors on winning the first game, but I also have to worry about the Warriors, because Curry's injury is always an uncertain factor. Even if he wins G1, he cannot expect the Timberwolves to be accurate in every game, and he cannot underestimate the Timberwolves' defense. He also cannot underestimate Edwards' ability. Curry was injured and left the game in the second quarter. Many people think that the Warriors will lose the game, but the ending was unexpected. Why can the Warriors win the game without the star? In fact, there is someone we have always underestimated.
Before today's topic starts, let's keep it a secret, that is, who is the hero of the Warriors' winning game? Is it Green, who made 4 of 5 three-pointers in the second quarter, Hilder, who got the highest score in the team, or Butler, who coordinated the overall situation, that first of all, does not deny the contributions these players have made to the game, but the author believes that the core of the Warriors' winning is actually Cole.
Many people have always had a wrong view, that is, the hero who wins must be the players on the court, and the head coach who loses must be the blame. Even the author thought so before. He always thought that Kerr only used infinite defense replacements and five small lineups. If it weren't for the help of Curry's team, it would be difficult for Kerr to achieve such achievements today. However, after this round of series, my view on Kerr has changed. To sum up, it is just one sentence. An excellent coach's blessing to the team is too important.
Why the Warriors were able to win G1 is actually very simple. The most basic thing is to rely on defense. I have always believed that the Warriors are a three-point team. In fact, it is not the case. The reason why the Warriors can really get to the present is their defense. Whether it is the Rockets at the beginning or the Timberwolves now, they are both strong defensive teams. Looking at the lineup of the Warriors, they are completely inconsistent with these two young teams, but this must be said that Cole is still good. He can use the only resources on the court to build a defensive framework. This ability is not acceptable.
To give a simple example, when everyone knows that the playoffs is a test of the quality of the stars, almost all teams will shorten the role of playing time. The most typical example is the Nuggets. They have always used 6-man rotation, but Kerr has to do the opposite and let all play in the game. After all, the opponent is older and more energetic. Kerr uses more rotations to make up for his physical fitness. With Kerr's courage, few head coaches in the league can compete with him.
When it comes to the Warriors and Timberwolves' game, why can the Warriors win? Why do I say that the key core is Cole? In fact, you can see the clues from the field. When is the time for the Warriors to widen the score difference? That is the early stage of the second quarter. At this time, Cole set up a joint defense lineup, which was why the Warriors completely opened the score difference and showed confidence. It is hard to imagine that Green can even make 4 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter. This confidence was given to them by Cole.
Why is Cole good? In fact, I think it is largely a force of trust. When Curry got off the court and faced with such a lineup, Cole actually used a 12-man rotation lineup. It is precisely because of Cole's trust that everyone can show enthusiasm when playing on the court, everyone is trying hard to show themselves, and everyone can also play their own role. This is what Cole is most powerful. Believe in everyone and make everyone like a hungry wolf, eager to express themselves.
In fact, the Warriors and the Lakers are not too strong inside, but facing the same opponent, now, the gap between the two is clear at a glance compared to Redick. Faced with the management's request, Malone was not obedient and the ended up being eliminated. Kerr faced this situation. The regular season gave Kumingga enough playing time, but completely gave up Kumingga in the key game. However, Kerr was able to use victory to block the management's mouth. This is Kerr's confidence and strength.
What do you think of Cole's coaching level? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
