Warriors second-year guard Podzemski is in a slump in the NBA playoffs, and the coach is backing his boys

Warriors second-year guard Podzemski is at a low ebb in the NBA playoffs, averaging only 7.5 points in four games against the Timberwolves series, but even then he is still in the starting lineup, which has raised questions from foreign media. Coach Cole strongly supported his boys in an interview on the 14th, "Although his shooting performance is not good, he can still connect the lineup, and these are all factors that help the team win." ”

Podzemski averaged 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game in the regular season this season, but scored 26 points in only one big explosion in the Rockets series, contributing an average of 11 points, and in the series against the Timberwolves, he averaged only 7.5 points per game and shot only 22.5%, which is quite sluggish.

Foreign media questioned that in fact, the Warriors have other available soldiers, such as Peyton Jr., and they can even gamble and give Santos or Kuminga a chance. In this regard, Cole offered his opinion, he believes that apart from scoring, there are other things that can help the team, "He can read the game, he can handle the ball, he can pass the ball, and he can grab rebounds. ”

Kohl said that Podzemski's defensive insight is so always in the right position, as long as he is in the game, the game can be organized, which is very meaningful for his teammates, "It doesn't mean he's perfect, but a lot of the things he does make sense for the game, and frankly, not every player can do it." ”
