On November 7, Beijing time, the Warriors have achieved a record of 7 wins and 1 loss at the beginning of the season, and their defensive efficiency has reached the league’s best. Warriors coach Cole and other players talked about the team’s defense in an interview.
In the past few years, the Warriors’ smooth offense makes it easy to overlook their hard and disciplined efforts on the defensive end. In the Warriors’ three championship seasons in 2015, 2017 and 2018, their defensive efficiency rankings in the playoffs were first, second, and first respectively. In the five consecutive NBA Finals series, they did not win the championship twice, ranking seventh and eleventh on the defensive end respectively.
Green revealed that the Warriors’ defensive assistant Mike Brown requires everyone to be responsible for the defense, and so far, this has worked for the team.
The Warriors won 114-92 against the Hornets last week. After the game, the Hornets coach also praised the Warriors’ defense. “What’s good for them is that they have succeeded in defense, and their history and experience have proved this. Curry understands how to defend, and Green understands it.” Hornets coach James Borrego said, “When the ball is played. When the two best players of the team lead the team on the defensive end, the whole team must understand and accept the importance of defense. They are a smart team. This may prompt young people to be faster and at a higher level than they expected. On defense, I think this is very important.”
“This is everything, this is him. Obviously, he has the ability to defend many different positions.” Curry said of Green’s defensive influence. “This is reflected in our efficiency every night, let the opponent ball It is difficult for the team to find a suitable mobile phone meeting. His presence and his IQ can always be shown vividly.”
Green set the tone of the team, but the players around him must also keep up with him. This is where the experience and attitude of the veteran really come into play. The return of Iguodala brought the Warriors a defensive IQ comparable to Green. Rooney has been a reliable defensive player for the Warriors for many years. Wiggins was ridiculed for his lack of effort on the defensive end in his early career. The main attacker who can defend the opponent’s flank at night.
In addition, Curry cannot be ignored. Warriors coach Cole has always thought that Curry is underestimated on defense.
“I think Curry’s defense is very good. People always say that he is not a good defensive player, but they don’t even watch the game. Curry is a very good defensive player.” Cole emphasized.Return to Sohu to see more
