On February 1, Beijing time, I wish you a happy new year, the NBA regular season also has a wonderful showdown, the Warriors will challenge the Rockets on the road. Although the fire war is not as exciting as before, it is still very concerned, after all, the Warriors are back in the forefront of the league. This time against the Rockets, the starting lineup announced before the game, Kerr also chose to change the lineup.
Against the Rockets, the Warriors started as Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Moody and Rooney.
The change in the starting lineup was also forced to be helpless, and Porter, who had previously replaced Green, was absent from the injury this time, in addition to his absence, Green, Wiseman, Iguodala and Bjelica also missed the game due to injury. This also has some impact on the Warriors' lineup, and other players need to stand up more to help the Splash Brothers. Previously, Kerr used rookie Cumminga, but this time he gave the No. 14 show Moody the chance, but also wanted to bring some miracles.
Moody's was last year's No. 14 pick, and after joining the Warriors, he didn't get many chances. He has played 27 games for the Warriors this season, averaging 7 minutes per game, contributing 2.2 points and 1.1 rebounds, shooting just 33.9 percent from the field. But he played very well in the development league last game, bombing a comprehensive statistic of 27 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, and the team also wants to see how effective he returns to the NBA. In response, head coach Kerr also said: "Because of his projection and overall defensive ability. Moody's has played well in the development league and I like to reward players who work hard. ”
This is not the first time in Moody's career that he has been given a chance to start, and it depends on whether he can seize the opportunity this time, like Cuminga, to enter the rotation.
In addition, Thompson also provided the announcement of the rotation plan, the Warriors came back-to-back to challenge the Spurs, he will not play, will be rested.
