Moody s growth code: Two ways of inheritance between Green and Curry

Two years after Moses Moody signed a three-year, $39 million contract extension, the Warriors' forward was still clearly frozen in the scenes that changed their careers when he was interviewed in the training hall. When asked about the influence of two core members of the team, Draymond Green and Stephen Curry, his answers went beyond the boundaries of the basketball court.

"Push open the door of Green's house and you might think you will see a tactical board." Moody's tone was smiling, "So he was showing me the screen printing work of Andy Warhol to me. " The four-time champion's special counseling for rookies in the summer of 2023 actually started with the appreciation of modern art. This detail just confirms the uniqueness of Green's teaching - he regards the growth of professional players as a three-dimensional project.

In the study of a villa in Los Angeles, Green spent three hours dismantling the salary cap operation mechanism to Moody. "The league's salary experts couldn't believe that he was more familiar with labor-management agreements than half of the agents." The Warriors' reporter later commented. When young players pay more attention to on-court data, Green insists that Moody understand the business logic behind each contract clause: "You have to know clearly how much you are worth, but you have to understand the responsibilities that these numbers represent. "

This all-round guidance extends to life details. On a road trip, Green blocked Moody's who was about to leave in the locker room: "The pants you are wearing are more expensive than my entire wardrobe." The seemingly casual joke is actually conveying the values of the veteran - there is a subtle hedge between flashy consumption and professional attitude. This kind of discipline between father and brother has gradually formed a clear view of money: "He made me realize that true professional qualities are hidden in the wear of sneakers, not in the luxury cars posted on social media. "

If Green plays the role of an outspoken enlightener, Curry interprets another leadership paradigm. In a mistake round on the training ground, the Warriors star will deliberately pause the drill and walk to Moody's side and start the conversation with "Let's try how to cut into this angle". This gentle error correction method can be called a clear stream in the professional sports world that emphasizes competition.

"When the best scorer in history personally demonstrates running without the ball, it is hard for you to not be infected by him." Moody recalled a scene from a training night. After completing 50 consecutive shots around the screen, Curry turned around and said to his young teammate who was watching on the sidelines: "Do you know why I keep the standard in every move? Because slackness will retaliate against you in the last two minutes of the game. " This kind of persistence that leads by example is more penetrating than any preaching.

Two different leadership styles form a wonderful resonance in the Warriors locker room. When Green argues with someone on the plane about the defensive rotation, Curry may be using his mobile phone to study the opponent's tactical video; when Zhu Meng is competing for his young teammates in front of the media, Meng Shen chooses to stay and practice alone after training. This complementary demonstration effect has allowed Moody to gradually understand the diversified growth paths of professional players.

Looking back at the node when the new contract takes effect, Moody's attributes the success of renewal to the internalization of this collective wisdom. Now he will take the initiative to check the local art exhibition before the away game, and is accustomed to spending half an hour after shooting training to observe the veteran's stretching process. "The most important thing they taught me is that professional basketball is never a single choice. " The growth story of the 26-year-old striker just confirms the most precious inheritance of Warriors culture - greatness has never been an island, but a spark passed down from generation to generation.
