Why is Cole so keen to let Stephen Curry play without the ball?

In fact, Cole let Curry play more without the ball because of a kind of protection. In the game, players with the ball are the easiest to mark and aim at, while players without the ball are not so easy to aim at. In fact, Cole has no restrictions on Curry. He is a free carrier. Whether he holds the ball depends on the game.

Compared with kicking without the ball, kicking with the ball is too simple and doesn't need to be taught at all, but every defender will have a kick with the ball. In fact, all the players in the guard position know that as long as the guard starts dribbling, you have to go to the wings or the bottom corner to open space for him. If there is another teammate who feels better to cover the ball for him, the defender can naturally play very comfortably. Either attack yourself, give it to the insider who obeys the order, or distribute the ball to the shooter teammates on the flank. There are only three choices. We can see that in the first few seasons of Warriors, when Curry started to play as he pleases, this team's offensive rhythm was very good and it would be more blooming. When the number of times without the ball has increased greatly this season, the shortcomings of the Warriors have gradually been exposed, and they often hesitate and stagnate on the offensive end. This situation is not uncommon.

Cole let Curry play without the ball, because he didn't need to be taught to hold the ball, and because playing without the ball as a home star can maximize the potential of role players. When a star bypasses layers of cover, it is not only the star who gets the opportunity, but also the role player who helps him cover. On the other hand, as a cover, the covered character player can have more opportunities, and the star himself will have more opportunities. If there is a third place, it is because players can develop a good habit of mobilizing defense without the ball and avoid their own tactical system of pick-and-roll

In the past, when Curry held the ball and made a choice, because of his projection against the sky and super breakthrough ability, the other side would focus on Curry and even stare at Curry. But I think if Curry starts playing without the ball, it will only make it easier for the opponent to aim. Just send one player and do nothing else. As long as Curry is entangled, Curry won't want to catch the ball. Through the game, we also saw too many pictures of Curry struggling with the opposing players and unable to catch the ball. It's really good for the opposing team that its defensive strategy becomes simple and its own offensive tactics are easily guessed? I still agree, according to the situation on the field, and then react.
