Cole s five small lineup is outdated? In 2016, Curry called for a big center for the first time

On May 16, Curry, the Warriors star, attended the season summary conference. He said: "We may need to be taller, sometimes we struggle to shoot, and there is no advantage in the interior."

Curry has played for 16 years and has named a big player in public for the first time. He probably realized that Cole's five-squad is outdated.

In the seven games in the first round against the Rockets, Shin Kyung and Adams' double inside line did make the Warriors suffer a lot. They lost more than 10 rebounds in each game alone.

Kor's five-square lineup, the 1.98-meter Zhuang Meng Green plays the center. We don't doubt his defensive ability, but Green, who has a gray beard, is really old and can't stand it anymore. Before Butler came, the Warriors had no advantage in the inside, and they were often reversed and turned around by their opponents in the fourth quarter when they were leading their opponents double digits. After Butler came, the inside line had obvious killing effect, and the Warriors' strength immediately improved to a higher level.

But who would have thought that the playoffs encouraged physical confrontation and many whistles were no longer blowing.

Butler's impact effect was greatly reduced, and the Warriors' inside shortcomings were magnified, which made the Timberwolves' Randle accurate in every hit.

Now that the Warriors season is over, they know their advantages, which is to further confirm that Curry, Butler and Green are the core teams to win the championship in the next two years.

And what they are most urgent to do is to seek a center with a height and size.

Lao Liu has two suggestions, one is to sign free agent Adams with a high salary, but to select Yang Hansen with the 41st pick in the second round in 2025.

Note: Adams has rebounds, strong defense, Yang Hansen has high football skills, and has good skills.
