Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr had a goal for his team before the new year began: be a top-four seed in the Western Conference. Despite his veteran-laden group starting 14-15 and sitting at eighth entering Monday’s game against the Orlando Magic, Kerr remains hopeful that his original goal can still come to fruition. “We all know where we are.” Kerr said after Sunday’s film session. “Look, our goal coming into the season was to be a top-four seed, and I still think it’s well within our reach. But it can be daunting if you look and you go, ‘ Man, we’re five, six games back.’ But we know how fast things can flip if we can take care of our business and find some momentum because everybody else is gonna go through tough stretches too.” Kerr noted earlier this week that the coaching staff showed the Warriors clips of how they played last season after Butler was acquired to remind them of how the offense can work when they look for him more. Kerr said Sunday he felt the difference was in Butler’s mindset recently — being more aggressive in trying to find ways to score. “Just being himself,” Kerr said. “Being aggressive. He has such a great feel for the moment, for the game, I think the last two games he’s shown that. He’s understood he needed to be more assertive, more aggressive, and he’s been excellent.” 金州勇士教练Steve Kerr在新赛季开打前，为球队订下一个目标：拿到西区前四种子的排 名。尽管这支以老将为核心的队伍开季战绩仅14胜15败，并在周一对上奥兰多魔术队的比 赛前仅位居西区第八，Kerr仍对最初的目标充满信心，认为他原本订立的目标依然能够实 现。 「我们都很清楚自己目前的处境，我们开季的目标就是成为西区前四种子，我依然认为这 完全在可达成的范围内。但如果你只盯着战绩看觉得『天啊，我们现在落後五、六场胜差 』，那确实会感到有些挫败。但我们都明白，只要做好自己该做的事、找到比赛节奏，战 局随时可能逆转，毕竟联盟里其他球队也都会遭遇低潮时期。」 Kerr在稍早指出，教练组特地播放了上赛季引进Jimmy Butler後的比赛片段，提醒大家当 更积极与他配合时，球队的进攻体系就能流畅运转。Kerr在周日进一步表示，Butler近期 的改变关键在於心态。他变得更具侵略性，积极寻求得分机会。 「他就是在做自己，主动进攻、敢於出手。他对比赛节奏和关键时刻的把握能力极强，过 去两场比赛他完美展现了这一点。他很清楚自己需要更果决、更具攻击性，而他的表现也 确实极为出色。」Kerr说。 来源:https://reurl.cc/9bWM28 心得:勇士中止连败後 目前与西四的湖人仅有6场胜差 --
