No more, no miracles.
The Warriors went 1-4 to end the season.
The game looks like it was lost today, but the truth is:
The moment Curry fell, the team had already pronounced a death sentence, and the gun went off today.
That's all.
At the end of the second game, it was said: With Curry, the Warriors may not be able to win, but without Curry, this ball will definitely not be playable.
I can understand the expectation of some Warriors fans looking forward to playing the game to Curry's return, because as a fan, I spend every year in a mixture of anticipation and disappointment.
However, after all, you still have to learn to:Recognize the situation and give up illusions.
Without the team spirit, without the boss, what to fight the Timberwolves?
Losing four games in a row, this situation doesn't make any sense if you listen to the rhythm of some media people and scold Kerr.
As a manager, he tried what he could try and changed what he could. The use of Kuminga is a repudiation of the old system, a repudiation of the team's successful experience over the past 10 years, and he will not do it until the moment of necessity.
The moment of necessity is that Curry can't play, and he has changed too many things.
There is no point in scolding any player.
Today's game was very intuitive, and that was the gap between the Warriors' ability and talent and the Timberwolves.
The desperation of Warriors fans is probably as follows: In the first half, Huazi was able to shoot three-pointers, Conley was able to defuse the bomb at the last moment, and the Warriors players were not scored.
This is the capability gap.
The desperation of Warriors fans is probably as follows: In the first half, Randle "rushed into the bull" again and again, flying Hield and Bojie.
This is the gap in physical ability.
The desperation of Warriors fans is probably this: Butler, as a star who is not good at shooting, has a difficult offense against Maidan next to him and Gobert behind him.
The desperation of Warriors fans is probably that the team did not play a painful offense, and the end result was that the opponent was getting easier and less pressured to shoot.
That can be summed up in four words: skills are not as good as people.
Honestly admit it, generously congratulate the Timberwolves, admit that the opponent is stronger, and it is not difficult.
Personally, I don't like the expression "the Warriors lost, Curry didn't", a loss is a loss.
You have to admit that injuries are part of the game, and the Warriors' championship season has also benefited from the injuries of their opponents, right?
Can understand the frustration of Warriors fans.
It's been a rollercoaster season for the team.
From the soaring at the beginning of the season to the malaise of most of the season, to the vitality and mental attributes brought by Butler's arrival, and then to the play-offs to the first-round tie-break to eliminate the Rockets, until Curry was injured and was beaten back to his original shape...
In the last month or two, I've probably received no less than 100 similar questions: "How far can a warrior go?" "Can the Warriors win the championship? ”
Many friends may still not realize a problem:The age of the Warriors' core and the overall talent of the team are not up to the requirements of a championship.
Players like Post and Spencer play playoff rotation, don't you think it's a joke...
When there is a library and gravity, they may be a miracle soldier, but without the library, those people are pure leftovers.
It was also because of the team's lack of talent and ability that Curry was injured.
His injury is the accumulation of a season.
But in terms of big results, I think it's pretty good for the Warriors to win a series.
In terms of the value created, the team owner will also accept it.
As a fan, life still has to go on, and you still have to eat well at noon.
For the Timberwolves who killed two major traffic teams in a row.
They won the two-round series last year, so they shouldn't settle for that.
In the Western Finals, whether facing the Nuggets or the Thunder, they need to seize this opportunity to attack upward, and it is far from the time to open the champagne.
In these two rounds of the series, what made me sigh the most was not Huazi's growth.
It's Randall's metamorphosis.
Previously a pure brush, a war criminal, the calmness and stability he showed in these two rounds this year changed the whole trend.
Admittedly, I was wrong in my judgment before the playoffs began.
Julius - Impressive - Randall.
Finally, I have to say:No, no more traffic teams.
Let's summarize it in one sentence:
The sun had long since set, the lake had dried up, the ship had sunk, and the warriors had gone home.
