Cole: Horford s advantage is that he can match anyone, which is very helpful for dream pursuit

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

Reporter:   Just watch Horford and Zhu Meng do shooting training together for a few minutes, they will push each other, compete with each other, have a lot of fun, and interact back and forth. Do you like this chemical reaction (coordination)?

Cole:  Yes, great. I mean, Al's advantage is that he can match anyone because of his space ability. He can fit into almost any combination, and that helps Draymond as he can open up space and provide projections, while the connection between the two on the defensive end will be important.

Reporter:  Steve, you now obviously have two 5 positions that can open up space, Al and Post. So how will TJD fit into it after experiencing the ups and downs of last season?

Cole:  Well, I think this is actually a very good thing for Trace, because he is able to supplement the other two people well. He has completely different technical characteristics. Last year, or actually the last two years, Ian and Loon are often swapping and you know, one person is in the rotation and the other isn't there. I think Trace can be paired with Quinn or Al because he has the ability to protect the frame and roll down, while the other two people prefer pick and pop. So such on-field space balance is very reasonable.
