The Warriors defeated the Magic 101-93 on the road today and temporarily retained the 10th spot in the West. Wiggins scored a Warriors-high 23 points, Curry had 17 points and 10 assists, Klay had 15 points, and Moody got a reuse today, playing 24 minutes with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists. For the Magic, Banchero had 15 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, Wagner Jr. had 14 points and 5 rebounds, and Anthony came off the bench to get a game-high 26 points and 7 rebounds.
With 3 minutes and 55 seconds left in the game, the opponent called a timeout, and took advantage of the defensive round to get Curry on Payton Jr., which is no problem, but after this round, why did Curry play on Moody instead of Payton Jr.? You must know that today's ball was won by Wiggins and Moody, and Cole looked at a 6 or 7-point lead at the last critical moment, and felt that it didn't matter if the game was won, so did he have to play Moody to make this game have nothing to do with Moody?
Cole is so interesting, he DNP Moody for no reason before, and seeing that the play-off places are not guaranteed, then he remembered that Moody is here. Moody is also really "cheap", it is effective, and he can save this Cole every time. But what's the use? Cole doesn't appreciate it at all. When the results have stabilized and there is no pressure during this time, Moody will wait to sit on the bench.
The same is true for the use of Wiggins, who used to play for 24 or 5 minutes a game, not giving a minute more, and the playing time was very chopped. But today is different, today's Wiggins is the absolute core treatment, no one wants to take a minute from him, and the result is that Wiggins won the game.
Cole really doesn't give up if he doesn't know how to win, but he just wants to play the system he thinks is the strongest. His system has been successful, but you also have to see if the resources in your hands are suitable for playing the previous set of things! Curry, Klay, and Green's abilities are visibly declining, and the new generation of ball quotients can't reach that height, so how can these people play your set of things now?
