Durant s death ends, Moody s craze begins

Basketball     7:20pm, 17 November 2025

Moody scored 21 points with 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, directly defeating the game.

Written after the Warriors lost to the Thunder:

Post, Richard and Moody all deserve more time: Moody's leading defense (as long as he is not a speed type), active and long-range shooting; Post's long-range shooting and young body, and Richard's hard work can make the Warriors look less slow.

The next day, Cole started Moody and Richard, and the Warriors won three consecutive games.

There was a comedy scene at the beginning of today: Curry was flanked and fed to the basket, and Dream Chase missed four offensive rebounds in a row.

Jimmy couldn't stand it and got the front board. Curry: "Moody, come on!"

Moody shot from a long distance.

Jimmy must have understood, "The Pelicans don't care about Moody?"

The next ball, Richard's offensive rebound, Jimmy fed Moody, the second three-pointer.

Then Curry, Dream Chaser and Jimmy cooperated. The Pelicans were in chaos. Jimmy fed Moody and scored the third three-pointer.

Richard fed Moody with a long-range shot, his fourth three-pointer.

Payton blocked the shot and chased his dream to feed Moody, his fifth three-pointer.

Jimmy fell into position and fed Moody to cut out, his sixth three-pointer.

Jimmy chased and fed Moody for his seventh three-pointer.

The Pelicans chase Curry and lock the basket. Jimmy: Okay - all 4 assists in the first quarter went to Moody.

Moody could keep up with the rhythm and hit the open shot, so it was natural and smooth.

When they lost to the Thunder, the Warriors ranked 19th in the Rhythm League. Then Moody + Richard started.

Three consecutive wins since then. After today's game, the Warriors are ranked 14th in the Rhythm League: Moody represents "aggressiveness and long-range shooting" and "makes the Warriors look less slow." That's what it means.

But my favorite goal from Moody today was not his long shot, but Jimmy’s 10th assist today: Podger → Jimmy → Moody dunk: Podger patted the ball, Jimmy patted the ball, and Moody followed up.

This goal is a bit like the Nuggets' Bubu→Watson→Jokic→Gordon combo yesterday.

Get up quickly, pass the ball, the rhythm is smooth, and the ball can be scored.

Before Moody Richard started, the Warriors had a maximum of 29 assists in away games this season.

After changing formations, the Warriors assisted the Spurs 30 times, and today they assisted 34 times.

Flowing clouds and flowing water.

Today, Durant's second-highest 35 points of the season to send away the Magic is a typical example of "I came here just to do this."

Shen Jing is the team’s leader in rebounds, assists, and blocks. His rebounds, screens, and instigators dragged the game into overtime.

Durant packs the last one.

The Magic are eighth in the league defensively and have the strongest forward group defense in the NBA, but it's a pity: the model is wrong.

Before today, Durant shot 4-for-4 from Turner who played 208 centimeters long, and Harris, who played the perennial No. 4 position at 203 centimeters, made 4-for-6 from the field.

Coward, who played 198 centimeters, made 1 of 7 shots, PJ Washington, who played 201 centimeters, missed 4 shots, Carson, who played 193 centimeters, made 2 of 6 shots, and Barnes, who played 3 to 4, made 3 of 12 shots from 203 centimeters.

Durant's shooting rate against forwards this season is 49%+42%, playing both inside and outside; against guards, his shooting rate is 52%+31%, and he can only pursue going to the basket.

Four years ago in 2021, when the Nets played against the Bucks:

Durant made 5 of 15 shots against Tucker, 4 of 16 shots against Holiday, and 25 of 44 shots against Lopez and Giannis.

What the Magic threw to Durant today: 208-centimeter Carter Jr. and Wagner.

Durant: This size is good - 5-for-9 against Carter Jr. and 5-for-7 against Wagner.

Wagner is lighter after all, so Shen Jing also understands it. He took away Wagner at the last moment and asked Durant to rub the little Carter who once had a headache from Jokic: Carter can fight against Jokic with his strength. Durant: Try and see if you can keep up with my retreat?欻.

Then Durant continued to look for Carter Jr., bullying the Magic and no one could stop him from hitting the ball: Bane had short hands; Amen cut inside and dunked easily.

The Magic team is full of big spiders, but Durant is not afraid of this one: Pansi Cave bumped into the ancestor of the big spider.

On the other side, Sheppard has averaged 16 points in 25 minutes per game in the past six games, shooting 59% from three-point range and 53% from three-point range, plus averaging 2.3 steals per game.

Currently the top five in the league in steal rate: Carson, Keon Ellis, Phils, Smart, Shepard.

Today he made a mistake and after being chased by Durant, he immediately counterattacked.

But a more cunning goal: running a counterattack in front of Durant, looking at Magic's instructions, knowing that he was going to be taken care of, so he received the pass from Durant, shook Blake, and immediately fed Holiday in the corner.

More before?

The Trail Blazers made a long pass to find Durant.

During the counterattack, Durant faked a pass to get past Holiday and went straight for a layup.

Holiday: Your boy? !

Find Shen Jing to cover and follow Durant. Golf businessmen do not just attack with force, but size up the situation and make good use of the influence of the big guys.

Regardless of confrontation, Shepard really understands it.
