The Jedi Elegy in the afterglow of the dynasty? The cruel fable of the Warriors dilemma 1-3 to tear apart the generations

When the Timberwolves burst out a 17-0 shock wave in the third quarter, the six championship flags on the central dome of the Chase are trembling violently in the air-conditioning wind. In the 11th playoff game Curry missed, the Warriors crushed the dignity of the defending champion into dust in the last season of the Oracle Arena with a 22-point gap collapse in a single quarter. The 1-3 dazzling score hung on the score screen, which looks like a bloody warning of the countdown to the "Kuzhu Tang" era - this fleet that created the small ball dynasty may not be able to wait for the captain to return to the voyage and sink in the ice field in Minnesota.

Technical data shows that when the Warriors made 0 of 11 three-pointers in the third quarter, Zhu Meng Green's angrily kicked into the seat penetrated the silence of the home court. Cole's rotation experiment revealed a fatal crack in Edwards' violent dunk: Podjemsky-Hilde-Cummingga's new trident combination, and its defensive efficiency dropped sharply to the second-last in the playoffs. Veteran Looney is fighting for the frontcourt rebound, forming a cruel mirror with Wiggins' open arc - this team that has been stitched together for three generations is being torn to pieces by the age fault. The unopened No. 30 jersey package in the locker room passage becomes the bitterest metaphor. The medical team's assessment report on Curry's G6 comeback was pale as paper before the mathematical probability of 1-3. Among the 280 teams in NBA history, only 13 have completed the reversal, and none of them lack the leading stars. When Timberwolves fans sang "Where is Steph" in the away stands, the Warriors management may be recalculating the luxury tax bill - the 210 million formation was exchanged for, which may be the early stage of the dynasty's curtain call.

Kuminga's career night turned into a thorny rose against the background of failure. This forward star, who is highly anticipated, broke through the blocked data five times at critical moments, exposing the immaturity of the new generation that has not yet been tempered. In contrast, Edwards killed the three-pointer in the final quarter - the 21-year-old Wolf King galloped in the Warriors' penalty area, just like the replica of Curry's first appearance in Golden State twelve years ago. The center of the target at this moment is like a wormhole in time and space, witnessing the fateful cycle of the transfer of royal power.

Cole's 4 minutes and 38 seconds into the final game despair concreted the coach's seat. The Nine-Crown coach fiddled with a tactical board that was no longer miraculous and variable, and the slogan "Strength In Numbers" played on the electronic screen behind him seemed particularly ironic. When the Timberwolves raised the "4-1" gesture to provoke, the Warriors' dynasty's final dignity may depend on whether they can regain a decent farewell in the Minnesota snow and snow in two days.

This defeat not only kicked off the end of the series, but also the tip of the iceberg of the iteration of basketball philosophy. The small ball system that once subverted the league was suffocated in the muscle forest of the Timberwolves' double tower + forward group; the proud pass-through system was dismantled into scattered parts by the young wolves using infinite replacement of defense. Under the shadow of the champion flag cast in the center dome of Chase, the giant wheel of the new era has shattered the ruins of the old world.
