Cole: Butler will determine our pace. With him we don t have to speed up to 100 miles per hour

Warriors coach Cole accepted an interview with the media. Xiaoba compiled some of the interview content as follows:

Reporter:   What rhythm do you hope the team will play this year? Is it because there are more veterans in the lineup that will affect your playing speed?

Cole:  Yes, I think frankly, Butler will determine our pace. You know, when the training camp started last year, I told you and told the team that we were going to be the fastest team in the league, and we did play that way, pushing the goal very quickly. But with Jimmy, we wouldn't be such a team. We'll keep a good pace, but Jimmy will take control of the game. And the benefits of this control far exceed the speed of 100 miles per hour in each round. Because in many rounds Jimmy ends up getting the ball, playing singles, fouls, or creating opportunities for others. He is a very organized player. This doesn't mean he can't run, but his control over the game can connect our offense and defense. So it's fast when we need to be fast, but more often we organize it through Jimmy, which may mean playing more calmly.
