When the Warriors lost in G4, the entire Oracle Arena fell into silence. Everyone is looking forward to Stephen Curry's comeback in G5 and saving the team from dire straits. But Curry's own words made the fans feel cold: "I don't expect to play in Game 5 of the series, and there will be no change before reevaluating the hamstring injury." Yes, even if Curry wants to become Superman, he can't do it. Coach

Coach Cole also helplessly defended Butler: "With Stephen, our space is greatly limited, which makes Butler's offensive space insufficient. I can only arrange more pitchers by his side, but the effect of this game is not good. Without Curry, we are two teams. We hope to win by defense, but we failed in the end." These words are undoubtedly the true portrayal of the Warriors' absence after Curry was absent. The "death penalty sentence" of the data media

data media basketball-reference updated the Warriors' promotion probability, and the results showed that the Warriors had 10.2% of the promotion probability, while the Timberwolves had as high as 89.8%. ESPN's prediction is even more ruthless. They believe that the probability of G5 winning in the Minneapolis Warriors is only 34.6%, and the probability of the Timberwolves 65.4% is directly taken away from the game 4-1. The prediction of PM of

Digital Media PM made Warriors fans feel desperate. They believe that the probability of the Timberwolves 4-1 is as high as 83%, the probability of 4-2 is 7%, and the probability of 4-3 is 5.5%. In other words, the probability of the Timberwolves advancing has reached 95.5%, while the probability of the Warriors counterattack is only 4.5%. The data from the official website of

NBA also gives a historic reference: 293 groups in NBA history lead 3-1, 280 groups advance to the next round, and only 13 teams have completed a counterattack, with a probability of only 4.5%. In other words, the four major American media have all predicted that the Warriors will be eliminated, and it is considered profitable to win one more game.

Warriors media helpless emotion

Warriors media HoopHerald wrote after the game: "The Warriors lost three games in a row without Curry, which just shows that Curry is the top five in NBA history. He alone is equivalent to changing the trend of the series." These words are not only a high praise for Curry, but also a helpless emotion for the current situation of the Warriors. There is no need to say much about the importance of Curry to the Warriors. His existence is not only a super scorer, but also the core of the team's tactical system. Without Curry, the Warriors' offensive space was severely compressed, and the performance of players such as Butler was also limited. Now, Curry is absent due to injury, and the Warriors seem to have lost their soul.

G5: Warriors' back-to-back battle

Although the situation is bleak, the Warriors did not give up. The G5 will be played in Minneapolis, which will be the Warriors' back-to-back battle. Although Curry cannot play, other Warriors players must stand up and win a glimmer of hope for the team.

Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Wiggins and other players all need to perform at an extremely high level in G5. They need to be more decisive on the offensive end and more desperate on the defensive end. Only in this way can the Warriors create miracles away.

Conclusion

The fans of the Warriors must be heartbroken at this moment. But remember that the Warriors are one of the toughest teams in NBA history, who have worked wonders in countless adversities. Although Curry is unable to play, other Warriors players still have the ability to change the trend of the game.

G5 will be the Warriors' back-to-earth battle and will also be their chance to prove themselves. Regardless of the outcome, Warriors fans will support them as always. Because the spirit of the Warriors will never be defeated.
