Warriors dynasty collapsed? A 1-4 defeat hidden new hope

The night in Minnesota witnessed the tragic end of the Golden State Warriors. Facing the Timberwolves' iron-walled defensive system, the Warriors who lacked core Curry finally failed 110-121 in the Western Conference semi-finals, and the score was frozen at a cold number of 1-4. In this life-and-death battle, Butler, who was highly anticipated, continued his sluggish state, hitting only 4 goals in 11 shots, and the 17+6+3 data single seemed pale and powerless in the decisive moment. The cruel truth was revealed at the beginning of the game. The Timberwolves' targeted defensive strategy completely freezes the Warriors' Arrowheads. Butler's dilemma of scoring only by free throws was exposed, exposing the team's fatal injury of insufficient depth on the offensive end. Substitute Wei Gu Mingga scored 9 points in the first quarter, just like a firefly in the dark - although it can briefly illuminate the future, it cannot reverse the trend of the battle. Behind this young forward's 26 points in the game is the shortcomings of the three-point line, and a single offensive method will ultimately be the key to breaking the game in high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs. The tactical adjustments of the Warriors coaching staff have little effect, and the Timberwolves continue to expand their advantages with the dual-core drive of Edwards and Towns. When the game entered the final quarter, the Warriors players could no longer find the flames that were reversed, and the continuous blacksmiths and mistakes fell one after another like dominoes. It is interesting that the Bay Area team reporter revealed that Kumingga is likely to leave the team this summer. The 22-year-old star's average performance of 20+ games in this round of the series may be providing the Warriors management with excellent trading chips.

Although the end of the semi-finals was a pity, the Warriors management saw the light of the dawn from the ruins. The surge in the value of Kumingga's trading, the growth dividends of young players, and the flexible operation of future draft picks have all laid the groundwork for the reconstruction of this dynasty team. In contrast, behind the Timberwolves' feat of returning to the Western Conference Finals after 20 years, the youth storm formed by Edwards and Reed is sweeping the league. They are about to face the winners of the Nuggets and Thunder and write a legendary chapter belonging to the new era.
