How difficult is it for the Warriors to lack Curry? The offensive end has performed exceptionally well, and the opponent s three data will rebound eventually

Although the Warriors won the first game of the series as before, the fans were a little depressed. After all, the core Stephen Curry was injured, and it will be a question mark whether the series can return in this round. Moreover, with Stephen Curry's age, this injury may have an impact on his future career or condition. Although other Warriors players expressed their willingness to accept the challenge, without Stephen Curry, the Warriors' overall strength, especially the offensive end, will inevitably decline in their grade.

So how difficult would it be if the Warriors lacked Stephen Curry in the next few games? First of all, the Warriors won the first game of the series, but they had performed exceptionally well on the offensive end. Jimmy Butler played for 41 minutes and scored another quasi-triple double data, which would inevitably consume a lot of physical fitness. In addition, Draymond Green and Buddy Hilde, these two excellent players, certainly exploded in their own universe, but it seems a bit unrealistic to expect them to be so fierce in every game.

, especially as the opponent Timberwolves, performed significantly abnormally in this game, especially for Stephen Curry's injury and retreating, the Warriors' tactical style seemed a little inadequate. The Warriors obviously shocked the opponent, but the Timberwolves' three data will eventually rebound, and the situation was completely different at that time. First of all, the Timberwolves have three inside towers, but this game is 10 fewer rebounds than the Warriors, which is definitely not worth it. Anthony Edwards grabbed 14 rebounds, but several insiders did nothing, except Rudy Gobert grabbed 11 rebounds, and his performance was considered unsatisfactory. Julius Randle and Naz Reed only grabbed 8 rebounds in total, which is definitely not their normal level.

The second data lies in the Timberwolves. The outside three-pointers were completely inaccurate. In this game, they only made 5 of 29 shots, and the basket was about to be smashed. The Timberwolves only had a three-point shooting percentage of 17.2%, so it would be strange if they could win. But you can't count on the Timberwolves. Every game is so strong. The reason why the gentleman swept the Lakers in the last round was because the Timberwolves played in a small ball lineup, which allowed Anthony Edwards to bring four shooters, and the offensive space was extremely wide. But in this game, except for Naz Reed, who made three three-pointers, the other Timberwolves players were collectively lost. This kind of scene is rare. Once the Timberwolves regained their feel when they played against the Lakers series, their combat effectiveness will still be very strong.

In the end, the Timberwolves made as many as 16 turnovers in this game, and the whole team did not feel offensive. Naz Reed and Dont Divinchenzo made 4 mistakes on the bench. The two starting players Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle were not much better, and the number of mistakes reached 3 times respectively. So the Warriors won the first victory, but they certainly can't be taken lightly. Apart from Stephen Curry's injury, which doesn't look so optimistic, it's also difficult for you to count on the Timberwolves, and their performance is so sluggish and abnormal in every game.
