21 years old, 11 of 11 shots, 100% shooting! Warriors, it's long overdue!
The Warriors' two games were postponed last week due to the unexpected death of assistant coach Milojevic, and they returned to the court after eight days, and the team won 134-112 over the Hawks in one game that ended today.
In terms of statistics, Curry had 25 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, Klay 24 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Wiggins 12 points and 5 boards, Green 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and Podzemski 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Murray had 23 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and Bogdanovic had 17 points and 3 assists.
In this game, Warriors player Jonathan Kuminga played 28 minutes, 11 of 11 shots, 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 25 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
As a result, he became the youngest player in NBA history to score 25+ on 100% shooting (21 years and 111 days).
The 11-of-11 shooting also tied the Warriors legend Chris Mullin's record for the longest solo hit in a single game in team history!
Really, the Warriors should have straightened Kuminga a long time ago.
In the last 4 games, he has averaged 28 minutes per game, averaging 24 points and 7 rebounds per game, shooting 66% from the field and 58% from three-point range.
This season, the situation of the Warriors is not good, and head coach Kerr's employment has been questioned for a while.
A big contradiction is, should we play "meritorious basketball" or give newcomers more opportunities?
There were a lot of games, obviously the young players did well, but they didn't get a chance at the last moment, or the playing time for the whole game was very limited...
The reason Kerr gave was that the team had won championships before...
Kuminga and Moody, two young players, have expressed frustration in this employment model.
The fans also complained about them, since they have the ability, why can't they play more?
Especially the 21-year-old Kuminga, 21 years old, he has explosive physical fitness and has the potential to become a star striker.
On this Warriors team, which is clearly under-athletic, he can bring a lot of energy!
I hope that after today's game, Cole can pay more attention to the cultivation of this good seedling!
