Warriors Dynasty s Dusk Battle, Curry Meets Edwards, a Relay Race of an Era

This series is full of twists and turns, and the balance of victory and loss continues to shake. When the Warriors won their first away game, their prospects for promotion were bright; when Butler was absent indefinitely due to injury, the Rockets regained their favorite position to advance; when the Warriors led 3-1 in total, fans even began to look forward to their prospects for winning the championship; and when the game was dragged into the tiebreak battle and was at the Rockets' home court, almost no one believed that the Warriors could have the last laugh. In the end, the Warriors won this life-and-death battle. At this moment, they deserve to celebrate, but they should also pay tribute to their tenacious opponents. As the last veteran team this season, if the Warriors want to go further, they may need to overcome more difficulties.

Although the Warriors defeated the Rockets by more than 20 points, the actual strength gap between the two teams is much smaller than the scores show. If Hilde hadn't made frequent high-difficulty shots in this game and had his best performance in his career, the Warriors would have been unlikely to pass the level so easily. The biggest crux of the Warriors' current reliance on Curry is overly dependent. When Curry was double-teamed and chose to pass the ball, his teammates were often hesitant and missed the fleeting offensive opportunity. In this game, only Looney made some contributions to scoring on the bench. Kumingga and Moody made almost no achievements. The two did not score a single point, forcing Cole to extend the playing time of the main players. Curry and Butler both played for more than 44 minutes, far higher than the playing time of the opponent's core players. The Warriors have reached their ceiling. As a dark horse, if you want to continue winning, you can only rely on extraordinary performance. When Butler and Curry give out a well-behaved performance, the team needs at least one or two role players to explode before they can create miracles. In fact, the play-offs and tie-break battles that could have been avoided have cost this team, mainly veterans. The two extra games not only consumed valuable physical fitness, but also compressed their not-so-stop rest time. The second round will start only one day apart. Regardless of the final result, it can be predicted that the score difference between the game may be quite different. With the current state of the Warriors, it is difficult to engage in a protracted battle with the young Timberwolves, and the game may be decided at the beginning of the game.

Green is the Rockets' regular season scoring champion, but he averaged only thirteen points per game in the playoffs, ranking fourth in the team. If he was replaced by Edwards, can the series against the Warriors still last until Game 7? I think the Timberwolves' offense is obviously stronger than the Rockets, and their defense is no worse than the Rockets. The Warriors have to face stronger opponents.

The Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 107-90 away; the Timberwolves lost to the Warriors 106-114 away; the Timberwolves lost to the Warriors 103-113 at home; the Timberwolves lost to the Warriors 115-116 at home.

The Warriors and the Timberwolves played four times in the regular season, and the Warriors won three games. Both teams met in the first half of the season, when Wiggins did not leave Butler did not come. But this does not mean that the Warriors have the advantage, and the Timberwolves are also making efforts in the later stage of the schedule. They are becoming more and more brave and eliminate the Lakers with their crushing advantage.

Although the Timberwolves are also a young team, they have experienced the baptism of the playoffs and achieved good results. Their experience in the competition and regular season record are far better than those of the Rockets. In addition, Timberwolves players have better talent, strong physical fitness and impact. Therefore, for the Warriors, if they want to continue moving forward, they must play the role of the following and create miracles in adversity.

When Butler joined, the Warriors were upgraded to a dual-core lineup again. Unfortunately, both core players are no longer young. The fierce battle in the tiebreak battle made them physically and mentally exhausted. After the brief celebration, only deep fatigue was left. With all the teams released in the second round of the playoffs, looking around, except for the Warriors, Jokic, who is the Nuggets, has just entered the thirty-year-old threshold as an ace player. Obviously, the era of veterans has come to an end. Now, only Curry is still sticking to it on the league stage. This time the opponent is Edwards, who is most likely to hit Curry's three-point record in various three-pointers. This will be a relay match for the era team. I hope Curry will become the final winner, but the general trend will eventually lead to the young people.
