In the NBA Finals, the total number of games is 2 to 2. The Warriors and the Celtics are not divided. The coaches of the two armies, Steve Kerr and Ime Udoka, have each tried their best to win, but the Warriors are still strange. The move has not yet been made, and at the last minute, it is likely to become a variable of victory, that is, the two first-year rookies of the Warriors, power forward Jonathan Kuminga and shooting guard Moses Moody.
Undoubtedly, even if the rookie is selected with a high pick in the draft, it may never be the key to the team’s victory. Since 2000, only 54 of the 220 top 10 players in the draft have been in the regular The game got at least 60 main drafts and an average of at least 30 minutes to play, not to mention that most of the other low-ranked rookies only appeared in rotation roles, and most of them missed the playoffs. However, this situation has indeed changed significantly this year. It is related to as many as 9 first-year freshmen in the playoffs recorded an average of more than 10 minutes of playing time in the playoffs, such as the Pelicans’ boots. Herb Jones and Athlon’s Scottie Barnes averaged more than 30 minutes each, while Warriors duo Guminga and Modi were among the nine.
Of course, if there is a scene where two first-year rookies, Gu Minga and Ziaire Williams, are both jumping balls, like the Warriors vs. Lone Ranger Game 3 in the West Coast final this year, it will certainly not be repeated in the finals. , I think Gu Mingjia scored 18 points in 18 minutes on the same day, and Shi Yali Williams also scored 7 points in 30 minutes, which is indeed quite the spotlight. In fact, Gu Minga, who was selected by the Warriors with the seventh overall pick last year, is already the highest-ranked first-year rookie to reach the finals since 2004, even though he only got 7 minutes of playing time in the first 4 rounds of this round of the finals. And 0 points, but considering that he also played in 11 games in the previous 3 rounds of playoffs in the West Bank, and got an average of 6.9 points, I believe that as long as Coach Karl needs to send him to battle, he will still be a very powerful soldier. .
As for Modi, who was selected by the Warriors as the 14th place last year, he currently scored 2 points in 9 minutes in the first 4 occasions of the finals, and he played in 8 games in the previous 3 rounds of the West Coast playoffs, scoring an average of 4.3 points. In the series once morest the Lone Ranger, he has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, tearing the opponent’s defense line with “Pick & Roll”. Similarly, as soon as the opportunity comes, Modi will also become a raiding weapon for the warriors to fight for hegemony.
