Beat the Spurs by 1 point, Cole is ever-changing, his combos are effective, one person becomes a catalyst

The game arrangement between the Warriors and the Spurs is very interesting. The two sides have to play against each other continuously, which is equivalent to playing a small series. In the second game between the two sides, the Warriors still won. Although they only won by 1 point in this game, the Warriors have accumulated a number of wins. Consecutive wins against the Spurs also proved that they are also among the top players in the Western Conference. To beat the Spurs by 1 point, Cole is ever-changing, his combos are effective, and one person becomes a catalyst.

So how did the Warriors win this game? The first thing I want to talk about here is Cole. His adjustments and changes can be said to be quite in place, and his combos also worked. In this game, Cole continued the starting lineup that won the previous game, but this game was not a blind use of this lineup. Regarding the use of Richard, although the young man also scored 10 points, he was only given 15 minutes and 55 seconds. The purpose was to prevent the Spurs from dismantling the tactics.

In addition, in terms of employment, Cole captured the essence. Let's not talk about other time periods, just take the last moment of the final quarter as an example. After replacing Green, the team's situation is completely in his own hands. After Green comes on the court, he is very important whether it is a duo with Curry or connecting the whole team. So, don't look at Green's only 6 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. He is a key part of the team and there is no substitute.

As for the defensive strategy, Cole also has his own considerations. A set of silky small combos makes the Spurs more uncomfortable. Regarding Bunyama's defense, we still don't compete with him for height and speed, but use a harassing method. On the other hand, Cole also intends to cut off the connection between him and his teammates. In fact, during the period when the momentum of the game was reversed, Curry's personal driving of the offense was one aspect, and the effectiveness of the Warriors' defensive strategy was also key.

Of course, Cole also has top players like Curry. There is no denying that Bunyama has the potential to become a super giant, but this game is still a little green in front of Curry, who has been famous for a long time. You can look at Curry. He just wanted to lead the team to win, and he scored 49 points. It has to be said that Curry is still the league's top scorer as long as his physical fitness is properly allocated. In addition, if the Warriors want to go further this season, Curry is also an important component.

It is worth mentioning that this game once again verified one thing, that is, Payton Jr. is indeed the catalyst for the Warriors, especially against a team like the Spurs. Cole used Payton Jr. in the last game, and it is still the same in this game, and the effect is much better than Horford and Hield. Therefore, in the next games, Cole can still try to give Payton more opportunities, especially in some special games.
