Butler only took 3 shots! Cole: There are still 8 free throws left, but he still played aggressively
6686 Sports November 12th NBA regular season, the Warriors defeated the Thunder 102-126 in the visiting team today.
In this game, Warriors star Butler took only 3 shots in the game, made all 8 free throws, and scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 interceptions.
When Warriors coach Cole was interviewed after the game, the reporter asked: "Butler only took 3 shots tonight. How do you get him to better participate in the attack?"
Cole said: "He still has 8 free throws, and he still played aggressively. , I think it’s not that he doesn’t want to score, but that our offensive execution is too poor and the space is not good. These are areas that we must sort out and improve.”
The reporter asked: “What’s wrong with you on the offensive end?”
Cole said: "Actually, the offensive and defensive ends are connected. I have said before that the defensive level skyrocketed after we got Butler last season, but that is not because we changed the defensive system, nor because Butler became Mutombo, but because we maintained the ball and the game became coherent and logical. We rushed to grab rebounds, got second attack opportunities, and also limited the opponent's transition. In the first half today, we almost didn't rush for the frontcourt board, it seemed that there was only one. I have to find a way to let the team regain confidence and rhythm."
