I thought that the Warriors would collapse to the Nuggets, after all, the rotation of Curry, mouth mushrooms, Thompson three main forces, it seems that it should be the nuggets three quarters of the clock off the rhythm, but the Warriors or the Nuggets stalemate to the end, the final score is also the Nuggets 131-124 Warriors, the loss of the point difference is controlled within 10 points, to reason if it is the Warriors lineup, then the loss of this game is really acceptable. Instead of putting Cummingga in the starting position, Kerr put Moody as the starter, and then the Warriors' "new version" of the Splash Brothers came.
Poole scored 32 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists on 8-of-12 three-point range, Moody shot 10-of-23 and 5-of-12 three-pointers to cut 30 points and three rebounds, and the two combined scored 62 points. Regardless of the win or loss of the game, the firepower of these two people is at least continued, especially Moody, which is his first game of the season in more than 30 minutes, and it is also the first time he has been entrusted by the team, but just such an opportunity Moody seized it, and the crazy scoring showed his top 3D attributes. Of course, what Yuzu sister wants to be embarrassed about is not the game between Moody and Poole, but behind this game, the Warriors have to change!
It's clear where Poole and Moody's strengths lie. Poole just needs the ball, needs the ball in hand, needs a certain amount of opportunities to play well. And Poole is really not suitable for the role of organizing the guard, he is suitable for scoring, let him organize the team to pass the ball, but there will be a lot of mistakes, he has to take the ball like Clarkson, Lu Liu and run to the basket. Moody, on the other hand, is a different style. As can be seen from the recent games, Moody's template should be Thompson.
Moody is a great fit for Thompson's previous role, and while he doesn't have Thompson's top-not-of-the-line running ability, he's up to the empty three-point and fixed-point shots. The most important thing is that Moody's not only has a certain ability to hold the ball, but also the defense is not bad, especially the defensive enthusiasm can indeed be cultivated as a top 3D player once mobilized. The problem is, these two people are playing very well, in fact, this means that Thompson may have to give more time to the two, Poole's position is fine, he is Curry's substitute, and Moody's Point Warriors may have to pay attention to it.
If nothing else, Moody's now has at least a stable 15 minutes of playing time per game, or even longer, which means that Thompson can no longer play like in the past. Compared to Thompson, Moody is more youthful and energetic, and his defensive steps will move faster. The Warriors do not need to mention Thompson's playing time to 38 minutes at once, but need to slowly adapt to Thompson, in fact, at this stage, the Warriors can actually consider slowly cultivating Moody according to Thompson's template, giving him a certain amount of time and space. As long as Moody can play like Thompson before, the Warriors are still not short of fresh forces in the second position.
(Note: I played 29 minutes off the bench, scoring 4 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists on 2-of-6 shooting!) ）
