儘管史蒂夫·科爾擁有諸多執教優點,但管理自我可能是他最大的優勢。 他可能會和克里斯·保羅一起工作,克里斯·保羅是一位非常自豪的名人堂球員,在他 18 年的職業生涯中每場比賽都首發,但顯然更適合在勇士隊擔任替補。
夏季聯賽中,保羅被問到是否有可能在金州擔任替補角色,他沒有給出政治正確的“我會做球隊需要的任何事情”的答案,而是打趣道:“你是教練嗎?” 向提出問題的記者表示,他還沒有與科爾進行過任何此類討論。
你可能會認為 38 歲的男人不會再擔心首發地位了。 但自負是這些人達到他們現在的水平的一個重要原因。 我們看到卡梅隆·安東尼為失去首發卡而奮鬥,最終接受了職業生涯後期在開拓者隊的替補命運,開拓者隊有時從安東尼留下的東西中受益匪淺。
保羅還有很多東西可以奉獻。 他是喬丹·普爾時代勇士隊所缺少的量身定制的第二陣容協調者。 他能與斯蒂芬·庫里和克萊·湯普森並肩作戰嗎? 他當然可以。 他是一名天生的控球後衛,他們是有史以來最偉大的無球移動者和射手中的兩位。
但這是一個小陣容,很可能會讓凱文·魯尼坐在替補席上(安德魯·維金斯首發,你可以把它放在一邊),然後把德雷蒙德·格林放在中鋒。 這樣的陣容作為終結陣容更具吸引力,但在這種體型不足的情況下長時間打球是很困難的。
也許有一種方法可以實現這兩點,讓保羅先首發一段時間,然後在其他先發球員休息之前提前將他替換下場,此時保羅回來跑非庫裡的時間。 科爾會跳過這些障礙來安撫保羅的自負,還是他能夠以擁有他的替補角色的想法來賣掉保羅?
請記住,科爾在金州隊任職期間的標誌性舉措之一是將安德烈·伊戈達拉(Andre Iguodala)——一位職業生涯的起步者和未來的名人堂成員——調到了第六人的位置,這個角色催生了死亡陣容,並在很多方面定義了死亡陣容。金州勇士隊的“人多力量大”王朝。
在這一點上,保羅不再是伊戈達拉 2014 年那樣的雙向影響力球員,但他可以對仍然擁有冠軍級別高端人才的勇士隊第二陣容的堅固性產生類似的影響。 他願意為了更大的利益而放下自我嗎?

再說一次,他實際上從來沒有替補出場過。 正如 The Athletic 的安東尼·斯萊特 (Anthony Slater) 指出的那樣,“保羅在他參加的 1,363 場 NBA 比賽中全部首發,這是自 1970 年以來最長的職業生涯連續首發紀錄。” 對於我們這些局外人來說,可能很難理解,籃球的自豪感伴隨著首發而來,這種自豪感存在於各個層面,對於許多(如果不是大多數)球員來說,這種自豪感永遠不會消失。
但在最高級別的比賽中獲勝幾乎總是需要在名單上的某個地方做出犧牲。 保羅這次可能會成為勇士隊的那個人。 這可能需要克爾進行一些微妙的哄騙,但替補上場的保羅似乎顯然是這支球隊最合適的人選。
我們將在賽季初看到結果如何,屆時科爾也許會讓保羅首發,以平穩過渡,然後隨著時間的推移讓他慢慢坐上替補席。
