Due to the unexpected death of the Warriors' assistant coach, the team delayed the game and disappeared for nine days throughout the NBA.
There has been no news of the Warriors for 9 days, which makes fans feel uncomfortable, like a shortcoming.
Today, the Warriors are back at home, and the big game is missing Trae Young's Hawks.
The Warriors rallied together to defeat the Hawks 134-112 to console the assistant DM's spirit in the sky.
Curry, Thompson and Kuminga are 20+!
Rest for 7 days, wait for work, and win over the eagle that lacks blowing poplars, there is nothing to be proud of!
is worthy of praise for 1 person, that is Kuminga, who came off the bench, played less than 29 minutes, made 11 of 11 shots, scored 25 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and the offense and defense were integrated!
After Kuminga's public accusation of coach Cole, he seems to have matured all of a sudden.
Happily, Kuminga did not follow Poole's old path and fight for the starting position, but chose to be himself.
It doesn't matter if you come off the bench, as long as you do your best and contribute the most value in the limited time, the most important thing is to help the team win.
In the last four games on his return to the bench, Kuminga scored 24, 28, 20 and 25 points, respectively.
When the score is no longer high and low, and tends to be stable output, then one foot of this player has stepped into the ranks of stars.
And Kuminga's upbringing is a bit like Clippers star Leonard.
Leonard, who played next to the Spurs (Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili) when he first entered the league.
As GDP ages and his ability deteriorates, Leonard seized the opportunity in the second year of the Finals to prevent James from doubting his life.
He averaged 20.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game in the playoffs, especially his heroic performance in the Finals, making him a sophomore and a Finals MVP.
Since then, GDP has retreated to the second line, assisting Leonard to become the team's leader.
Speaking of the Warriors Kuminga, although he is not as lucky as Kawhi Leonard, he has only proven himself to be the cornerstone of the team's future now in his third season in the league.
But for the 22-year-old, it's not too late at all.
Curry, Thompson and Green, who are now past their prime, have significantly degraded their abilities, and Kuminga's rise at this time is just right!
Not surprisingly, with 4 consecutive 20+ games, Kuminga has impressed the management.
In fact, there have been some facts that prove that Kuminga is not for sale.
The Raptors sent Siakam away on the premise that they wanted to get Kuminga, and the Warriors chose to refuse.
Murray of the Hawks even offered to send Capela and Murray, but Kuminga must be obtained, which was also politely rejected by the Warriors.
This has shown that Kuminga is the cornerstone of the team's inheritance of Curry's mantle.
And Kuminga, as a small forward who integrates offense and defense, will usher in an explosion in the second half of the season, and he will be the Warriors' Leonard.
