When the final whistle sounded, the camera swept across the Warriors bench - Curry lowered his head and stood up and walked straight into the player's passage. This scene instantly ignited the social platform, and "Curry's back" rushed to the top three in the hot searches. Behind the Warriors' 97-102 loss to the Timberwolves is the chain reaction of the superstar's absence, and it is also a tragic epic of the grassroots lineup's bloody battle to the end. The Warriors put the burden of offense on Butler's shoulders. The tough guy fought for 42 minutes in the game, scoring 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists with a 60% shooting percentage, and even scored 8 points in a row in the third quarter to force the Timberwolves to stop. But at the fatal moment, when Edwards and Randle took turns to the inside, the dilemma of being unable to support it was revealed.
The Warriors' three-point shooting percentage in this game was only 21.4%, setting the second lowest record in the team's playoffs history. Kerr admitted after the game: "Without Curry's restraint, our shooter group seemed to dance in shackles." Data shows that when Curry was on the court, the Warriors' open shots on the outside were as high as 37%, and this game dropped to 19%.
21-year-old young player Kumingga became the biggest surprise. He scored 10 strong insiders in 35 minutes, contributing 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks, with a plus-negative value + 9 championships. Especially in the fourth quarter, he successfully defeated Gobert in a row, showing his talent that was no less than No. 1 pick Edwards. The Athletic commented: "The Warriors found the key to the post-Curry era. "
In the last 5 minutes of the game, Greene blocked Edwards and received his sixth foul, and this penalty caused huge controversy. Slow motion shows that the two have only slight contact, and the failure of the Warriors coaching staff challenge directly led to a collapse in the defensive system. The Timberwolves took the opportunity to launch a 12-4 attack wave, and Gobert's key 2+1 completely killed the suspense. Although the Warriors and generals tried their best, they were unable to fill the tactical black hole left by an annual salary of $17 million. Commentator Su Qun sighed: "This is the irreplaceable nature of superstars. "
When Curry left alone spread throughout the Internet, the Warriors locker room heard a passionate declaration: "We will bring the series back to Minnesota!" According to the team reporter, Curry's MRI inspection results were optimistic, and the probability of playing in G4 increased to 75%. This defeat may be a turning point - the warriors in desperate situation are waiting for their king to return.
