12:59pm, 16 May 2025【Basketball】

After this game, the controversy over the Warriors and the Timberwolves were ignited again. The Warriors were beaten to no arrogance at home, and the rhythm of the game was broken. Curry's absence due to injury became the biggest suspense of the game. As a result, it was proved that without Curry's Warriors, the offensive end was like a treadmill that suddenly had power outages. No matter how you step on the accelerator, the Timberwolves could not raise the speed. On the other hand, although the Timberwolves had a short power outage, the key players were full of explosive power. Edwards, Gobert and Conley took turns to exert force to directly open the game. Although Butler and Kumingga performed well on the Warriors, the overall firepower gap on both ends of the offense and defense can be seen from the naked eye. To put it bluntly, the Warriors lost this game without any unjust.

Everyone says that the Warriors "system basketball, but Curry can still play without Curry, but reality is so heartbreaking. After winning the first game, Curry was completely absent from the second game. The Warriors' offensive sorting ability is like being pulled away. Podjemsky and Hilde took turns to make a blacksmith, and the outside line was completely silent. Although Butler had several shots of killing the basket, his overall efficiency was also poor. Kumingga's condition in this game was a recovery, and he had the desire to attack from the substitute, but to be honest, neither he nor Hilde were the kind of stars who could support the scene by themselves. The fans of the Warriors' home court were more like witnessing a "bad-style defeat, the scene was once awkward, and the camera didn't dare to give the home team players more close-ups when the timeout was suspended.

Edwards' explosion was completely expected. This guy was excited when the playoffs arrived at the critical moment. Today, both inside and outside could open fire, driving the momentum of the team. Gobert and Conley cooperated quite well. On the other hand, the Warriors' inside line was pressed and beaten. Under this level of defensive intensity, TJD could not play the mobile advantage of the regular season at all, and was soon educated by "reality. Kerr could only rotate frequently, trying to use his physical strength and energy to fight the opponent's overall suppression. To put it bluntly, this kind of adjustment is helpless. The effect is limited, and the scene is even more chaotic.

Some netizens said that the Warriors' referee suffered a loss, and they were criticized by the coach, and the players' movements were deformed. These phenomena cannot be completely blamed on the referee. The playoffs are originally fighting tough battles, and the referee's scale is a little smaller. Everyone must adapt. The Warriors' own offense is silent and the outside line is the main reason. In contrast, although the Timberwolves also had a "broken fragment of 6 minutes in the second quarter, they immediately adjusted the rhythm in the second half, and continuously intercepted counterattacks, and directly overwhelmed the score. This kind of tenacity and adjustment ability are the key to winning.

The fans on the sidelines were also quite real. The atmosphere at the Warriors' home court was obviously sluggish. Everyone was waiting for Curry to come back to "put out the fire, but the reality is that Curry's physical condition this season is indeed worrying. The Warriors' lineup depth and adjustment space are limited. Relying on Kumingga, TJD, and Hilde to take turns to "intensify, it is difficult to withstand a team like the Timberwolves that bloom multiple points. Butler fought hard today, in exchange for the loss of the whole team, offense and distracted defense. Even if the referee gives some face, it is difficult to save the situation.

The Timberwolves won this game, and the process was bumpy and both sides complained about the penalty. The game was actually quite "ugly, but the result was so realistic. The playoffs were fought for details and adjustments. Edwards led the team in this wave, not only brought the scene alive, but also taught the Warriors a lesson. The Warriors' system and home aura were not effective in key positions, especially without Curry, Cole's team change and rotation strategies seemed a little weak. Netizens joked, "It's okay to lose, but it's not an exaggeration at all.

Of course, the series is not over yet. If the Warriors can adjust their mentality in G3 and Curry returns in time, they will still have a chance to turn the tables. But if they continue to "rely rely on the weather to make a living, they will probably really enter the "bad mode after playing until the end. The Timberwolves play steadily, the key players are in a state of the situation online, and the offense and defense are smooth. As long as they don't take it lightly, the promotion situation is still quite optimistic. Warriors fans may be mentally prepared. The golden age of a team has really reached a turning point. Next, whether to choose to rebuild or continue to "make up the pot, the management and fans should be aware of it.

The question is here, how far can the Warriors without Curry go? Can the Timberwolves be so dark? The suspense of the playoffs is still there. What do you think? How many points will you score in this game? Can Curry lead the team to counterattack? Welcome to like and reply, see in the comment section.
