Cole: It s ridiculous to let us change the offensive system. Don t you play around Curry?

Golden State Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 1-4 in the second round of the playoffs, ending their season journey. Stephen Curry's injury retreat in the second quarter of G1 changed the trend of the series. Although the Warriors won the first game, they could not win in the next four games without Curry. Witnessing the "Wukuyong" was at a loss on the offensive end, someone put forward the cliché argument: Cole only knows how to play through and cut, and cannot play other offensive routines.

In response, Cole responded at the season summary press conference. When asked if the team could change its offensive system, Cole looked puzzled.

"I think the way to maximize Curry's offensive value is to let him play pick-and-roll with the ball, and let him use the off-ball screen to move all over the field. I think the strength of this model has been proven in the past 10 years. He is our Sun, we are like the solar system, he is the Sun." Kerr smiled and said, "You can't copy a Curry out in a short time. So everything about whether we should change the offensive system is very ridiculous in my opinion. What does this statement mean? Let's stop let Curry use the offensive screen? Let's stop let Curry use the offensive screen? Let's stop let Curry start the pick-and-roll? To be honest, I don't even know how to respond to that view. And everything we do has proven how powerful it is."

As Kerr said, the system established by the Warriors around Curry has achieved great success in the past 10 years. They reached the finals six times and won the championship four times. In this year's playoffs, the Warriors failed to go further, but in the first round, Butler's absence from G3 defeated the Rockets. If Curry had not retreated in injury in the second round, the outcome of the Warriors and Wolves would still be unknown. These also prove from the indirectly that as long as Curry is there, the Warriors' competitiveness in this system is sufficient.

"As it said, Curry is one of the best players ever, and I think what he can do now is about the same as he is at the peak. We will continue to do what we are doing or it will only hurt our team," Cole said.

This summer, the Warriors are facing the task of repairing the lineup, but they have clarified the direction to continue to build the team around Curry, Green and Butler, and as long as Cole is still there, their offensive system will not change.
