Curry cried! Confirmed with withdrawal from the competition! The coaches of both sides criticized each other!

The Warriors officially announced: Curry suffered a left hamstring strain and is expected to be out for at least one week. This also means that Curry can't play in the series between the Warriors and the Timberwolves from G2 to G4.

Although they just won G1 and started well, it would be difficult to solve the Timberwolves' continuous counterattack without Curry's Warriors. It is impossible for them to be as sluggish as G1 in every game.

According to Cole, when he returned to the locker room the day Curry was injured, Curry was already crying, his eyes filled with tears. As a good teacher and friend, Cole understands how strong Curry's competitive mentality is, and how collapsed he is when he suffers injuries at the most critical point of the team.

He didn't say anything, and he hugged and comforted Curry.

Wipe away the tears and let's face reality.

This is the first time Curry suffered a hamstring strain in his career. Although Curry had also taken a break in the regular season, but Butler led the team to overcome difficulties, the playoffs are different from the regular season. The playoffs are too much fault tolerance, and the mutual clamping force between superstars, especially the stars, is the guarantee of fault tolerance.

The good news is that according to records, when Curry was absent, the Warriors had a total of 9 wins and 3 losses in the playoffs; the bad news is that the Warriors have not played in the playoffs in the absence of Curry for seven years.

The Warriors at this stage have difficulty in playing the smooth passes and cuts that were once so smooth, and they are more restricted by their height disadvantages and their scoring in the penalty area is weaker than the Timberwolves, so they rely on Butler and Curry to create an offensive window.

The lack of Curry not only makes it less of an offensive strength, but also makes the Timberwolves' defensive focus spread, making it easier to make targeted defensive arrangements. Of course, this does not mean that the Warriors G2, G3, and G4 will suffer a series of defeats. After all,... Isn’t this Butler’s old profession with the remnant formation to fight the main force of the Timberwolves?

The Celtics were twice beaten by 20 points in the lead. They reminded us again that this is the playoffs, and the situation has changed suddenly, and no one can say that paper strength is not the only way to decide the outcome, not to mention that the gap between the Timberwolves and the Warriors is very small, almost the same level.

At present, the two sides have started a public opinion war.

In an interview with the media, Timberwolves coach Finch complained about the Warriors' actions against Gobert and the referee's missed blow, and said that he had collected the video and sent it to the league for review.

Cole said: You should pull it down! Also post videos! You bear hugs the warehouse and didn’t even blew, I’m going to pass the video to the alliance!

Based on the worst case scenario, even if the Warriors lost three consecutive games and were dragged to 1:3 in adversity, G5 is likely to return, and may be able to change their fate against the will of heaven and save the trend of the entire playoffs.

The Thunder next door has shown their strong strength and qualifying is just around the corner. Who can meet the number one in the Western Conference in the Western Conference?
