Today in the NBA regular season, the Warriors will challenge the Pacers away from home. Cole accepted an interview with the media before the game.

Reporter: "Under what circumstances can you accept low-post singles? For example, when dealing with mismatches, do you not use this tactic at all now?"

Cole: "No, it is not not used at all. I think when the half-court offense is stagnant and lacks flow, we can still use mismatches to 'devour' the opponent in the transition offense. At this time, be decisive Just hang inside.

"This question is really difficult to answer - but it is a good question. The key is that players need to read the game. If we decide to destroy the existing space arrangement and play in the low post, we must understand the rules of modern defense. The opponent does not need to double-team the ball carrier like in the past, but can form a partial defense with strong side defense. This style of play will lead to a lot of defensive rotations, and without a clean, quick advantage, the entire offensive tempo will be slowed down.

"Now the pace of the game is too fast. Once the ball is passed to the low post, the defense will immediately shrink. The league's scoring data per round also confirms this. The efficiency of low post singles is no longer what it used to be."
