Cole: Zen master is too advanced. Triangle offense is to use team culture to build an offensive system.

Recently, Cole participated in the "Glue Guys Podcast" program and talked about his experience of playing for Phil Jackson.

Host: "You mentioned that concentration is the core trait of the Warriors, and I think it is indeed becoming more and more respected at the moment. But I can't help but feel that it goes back to Phil Jackson to a large extent, right? I remember he was one of the first people to advocate meditation and talk about breathing. He was so unique and so persistent in being himself in that era when such ideas were not popular. I wonder what you learned from him that still benefited from this today?"

Cole said: "He is very sincere and respectful to the Americans." The spiritual culture of the inhabitants has a heartfelt interest. He grew up in South Dakota, and his home is near an Indian reservation. The room we watch videos every day is decorated with Native American art and historical artifacts. He calls us his tribe. In the Bulls’ training hall, his office is upstairs and the court is downstairs. Every time we warm up on the court before training, he will walk to the balcony and beat his drums—the drum sounds, yes, that’s the signal we gather to watch the video. When you first get on the team, you will think , is this guy really here? But you will soon find that this is his lifestyle. "

" I remember when I first meditated with the Bulls, the newcomer would always open his eyes and mutter: What is this doing? Everyone else can calm down and the lights are dimmed, but the newcomer will think, are we really going to do this? But he is undoubtedly at the forefront of the times. The key is that he always does these things sincerely, from the heart, and the effect is significant. "

" He is too smart to make the team work Having a deep understanding. He is the only person I have ever met to build an offensive system based on team culture. The core of the triangular offense is that five players have to touch the ball in each round. He believes that this is the key to bringing the team together - the operation of the ball can connect everyone together, which is also the reason why he insists on this set of tactics. I have never heard of this concept before, nor have I connected offensive tactics with team connections. I always think that tactics are just tactics. But he is so advanced and wise, and he is such an amazing coach."
