Cole has been frustrated for three years and finally waited for 5 foreign tactics! 39-year-old Horford is much better than Dream Chasing Green!

Horford joined the Warriors, and Cole's grievances after three years were finally released. He finally waited for an inside player who could score 3 points. Even at the age of 39, he was much better than Zhu Meng Green.

Since the Warriors won the championship in 2022, as Ku Zhui Tang's age declined, the power of the five-small tactics that were popular in the small ball era has weakened, and the five-for-one lineup upgraded on this basis is the strongest offensive system in the league at present.

Chasing Green, at his peak, he had two defensive and organizational abilities in the league. Although the ability to shoot in the long term is a shortcoming, it is not obvious. After all, the team has two historical top three-point shooters Curry and Thompson.

Now, 35-year-old Green has become a dreamer, and he is a little helpless in playing the No. 5 position. His three-point shooting rate is not effective (32.5% in his career three-point shooting rate), and his opponent is more willing to let him go in the inside, which cannot disrupt the opponent's defensive formation at all. The arrival of Horford (the three-point shooting rate in the last three seasons is close to 40%) has two direct benefits.

The first is to let Green hit the No. 4 position he is familiar with.

The second is that the Warriors can play real five-for-one tactics.

On October 4, Warriors coach Cole specifically emphasized the tactical changes in the new season in an interview after training.

He said: "Horford's three-point shooting ability makes us more capable than ever to play this (five-outside) tactic."

When Horford catches the ball at the top of the arc, he can transfer away from the center and create more opportunities for empty cuts, this is what the Warriors are best at.

If the opponent does not come out, Horford's open three-pointer will punish the opponent.

In this way, the Warriors' offensive firepower next season may be the strongest season since winning the championship in 2022, please look forward to it!
