Cole talks about how to deal with G4: Butler hopes to play for 48 minutes and will not make major adjustments in tactical aspects

May 12th News Earlier, Warriors head coach Steve Cole expressed his views on the team's performance in this round of the series against the Timberwolves and their subsequent tactical arrangements.

First of all, Cole said that the team needs to arrange their rest time reasonably while allowing core player Jimmy Butler to play as much as possible.

Cole said: "We need to find a balance between Butler staying on the court as much as possible and giving him the necessary rest. He played for 43 minutes in the third game, fidgeting on the bench every second, and he wanted to play for 48 minutes!" But with Stephen Curry absent, Cole admitted: "I have to weigh the risks of Butler's every minute of the game, try to protect him and avoid excessive fatigue."

For the performance of young player Tres Jackson Davis (TJD), Cole praised: "I like TJD's body very much." Resistance and athleticism, he performed well on the defensive end when he partnered with Drummond Green. ”

mentioned Butler and Jonathan Cumingga scored 63 points in the third game of the series yesterday, and Cole analyzed: "It is expected that the Timberwolves will make adjustments in the next game, so it will be difficult to see them score so many points together, but I believe other players will stand up."

In addition, Cole is full of confidence in the team and believes that as long as the execution is in place at key nodes, the Warriors are expected to turn the situation around in the fourth game and rekindle the hope of the series.

Looking forward to how to equalize the series in Game 4, Kerr said: "We don't need major changes. The defense and Butler and Kumingga have been well cooperated with each other, but I didn't grasp it in the last few rounds. I like our style of play, and the overall pattern is right." He added: "We need to find more opportunities on the offensive end, especially at critical moments."

Speaking of the referee's law enforcement in the third game, Kerr expressed satisfaction: "That's the best law enforcement I've seen recently. The referee set the tone early, and the game was clean and retained physical confrontation."
