From trailing by 20 points to winning by 18 points, Kerr's key substitution became a turning point, worthy of being a four-time champion coach!

Curry suffered injuries in the game against the Clippers, and Wiggins and Melton also suffered injuries of varying degrees, so the three of them were absent due to injuries in today's game against the Pelicans. Even with three key players out injured, the Warriors still outscored the Pelicans by 18 points in a 124-106 home win despite a stump of a team. This game fully demonstrated the strength of the Warriors' tactical system and Kerr's excellent coaching ability.

Even if the Warriors lack Curry, you will find that the Warriors' tactical system has not changed, and it is still the usual running tactics of the Warriors in the half, but today the system has changed from Curry to Hield. Hield's performance in the first half was poor, and he was also heavily guarded by the opposition. Hield's type of player is better suited to play good times, and when the Warriors need to rely on Hield's shooting ability to chase points when they fall behind in the opening game, Hield's hand is difficult to open. So Hield just made 1 of 8 shots in the first half.

But a pivotal substitution from Kerr brought the Warriors to a turning point, when he used Waters to start in the second half to replace Hield. Waters hit a three-pointer on his first offensive shot in the second half. Since then, the horn of the Warriors' counterattack has been blown. This substitution can be said to be very crucial. Not only did Waters help the Warriors on the offensive end, but Hield also had more confidence in his shooting after the Warriors established the lead in the second half. In the end, he scored 25 points on 8-of-10 shooting in the second half.

The key to this game was Kerr's timely adjustments, and he saw Waters as a player with a bigger heart. So starting Waters in the second half was definitely a great move. On the one hand, he allowed Waters to fully display his talent on the offensive end, and Waters scored 21 points today. On the other hand, it also made Hield start to play good times. Through these games, we have a general understanding of Hielde's personal characteristics, and he is more likely to get into personal form when playing in good times, but when he needs to save the team, he may be in a hurry. That's why some players are big hearts, while others are just good for good times.

Cole's on-the-spot adjustment was very timely, and he did not blindly trust Hield, but decisively replaced Waters. That's the determination of a great coach on the pitch, who dares to break the rules and put together different lineups on the pitch. I have to say that Kerr deserves to be a four-time coach, and he is indeed the top in terms of tactical system and on-court response, which is why the Warriors' system can endure.
