On February 2, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Warriors against the Spurs, this battle Cole on the main players for a rotation, Curry, Thompson have been a wall watch, which directly allows the Warriors' young players to get the opportunity to perform, two rookie Moody and Cumminga have entered the main list, the 14th show Moody is directly into the starting lineup, get the opportunity to serve as the core.
In the end, the two rookies did not live up to Kerr's trust, the two jointly cut 39 points to help the Warriors complete a 17-point reversal win, winning seven consecutive wins, including Cuminga with 19 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and Moody played a record-breaking game, hitting 6 three-pointers, becoming the second rookie in Warriors history to achieve such an achievement, second only to Curry's rookie year in the 09-10 season.
Notably, Moody even surpassed Thompson's rookie season-high four three-pointers in a single game to create a team record. Moody hit six three-pointers in the game and scored 20 points and seven rebounds, and 20 points was a new single-game scoring record for Moody's personal NBA career. These performances are enough to reflect Moody's excellence, and when the core players are absent, Moody's proves that he has the ability to justifiably consume these shots.
After the game, Kerr talked about why Moody was the starter, and Kerr made it clear that he was based on Moody's excellent performance in the development league to make him the starter, believing in Moody's ability and current status. And because the Warriors won and completed a 17-point comeback, Curry, who did not play the game but watched from the sidelines, laughed and celebrated excitedly with the two rookies, obviously satisfied with the team's win and the performance of his teammates.
Cumminga and Moody are the two rookies the Warriors have focused on cultivating this season, and in the past two seasons, due to Durant's departure and the impact of widespread injuries, the Warriors have had a poor record for two consecutive seasons, and the 19-20 season is even the bottom of the league. But despite his poor record, he accumulated enough chips to select Cumminga and Moody. Self-sufficiency, cultivating their own selected rookies to become talents, this is the Warriors' routine operation for nearly ten years, Curry, Thompson, Green are all cultivated by the Warriors themselves, and now Kuminga and Moody are no exception, the last time the Warriors cultivated their own players to become talented, to create 5 years and 3 crowns of achievements, Curry, Thompson and Green are still at their peak, can bring help to young players, especially the winning culture, coupled with Kerr's excellent coaching ability, I believe that the talented Kuminga and Moody will become talented sooner or later.
In the NBA league in the past 20 years, the team that has maintained the longest peak is the Spurs, and Popovich has built a system based on Duncan and maintained it for 20 years. Today's Warriors are the same, based on Curry, maintain a long period of strength, as long as the personnel is neat, the Warriors will have the competitiveness to win the championship, as long as the young players can improve a little, the Future of the Warriors is still bright, and there are a lot of possibilities of impacting the championship!
