Chasing Dreams: We rarely call tactics. We only need to put the ball in the hands of the best players at critical moments.

In the NBA regular season, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Nuggets 137-131 in overtime. Xiaoba compiled some interviews with Warriors players after the game.

Reporter: Stephen said that in the final stage and overtime, you almost didn’t call tactics and relied entirely on on-the-spot coordination and feeling. Is this common on your team? Or is this rare in the NBA?

Dream Chasing: In the NBA, this kind of situation is actually not uncommon, especially for us, we rarely really "call tactics" - in my career, although coach Steve (Kerr) occasionally arranges some tactics under specific circumstances, more often than not we just play directly. This is essentially a matter of experience.

We don’t need to deliberately call tactics at all, because we are very familiar with each other and can directly cooperate through on-field observations and reactions. Once we find an ideal mismatch opportunity, we open up the space and let our teammates execute it; as long as one of the five people on the field is open, the ball will be passed to him and he will complete the next attack.

When it comes to the most critical moment of the game, we must let the stars dominate the game. We give the ball to Stephen and Jimmy, and they create opportunities again and again; the other side does the same, they give the ball to Jokic and Murray. But the difference is we managed to defend a couple of big possessions in those critical moments.

So, at that time, no one will arrange complicated tactics anymore. You just need to put the ball in the hands of the best players, and they will lead the team to win the game.
