Buy time for Curry! The Warriors must hold on until the tiebreak, and the X factor is the key

On May 8, according to the latest report from a famous NBA reporter Shams, Curry was confirmed to have a first-degree strain on his left hamstring after examination, and the Warriors official said he will undergo a follow-up examination in a week. This will mean that Curry is missing at least three games in G2, G3 and G4.

Nowadays, the price of the Warriors breaking through the first round of the playoffs is that Curry lost "one leg".

The left hamstring is strained and is missing for at least one week, and there is no clear time for comeback. The Yongmi and others have to make the worst plans. Last year's Antetokounmpo also suffered this injury at the end of the regular season, but eventually did not make a comeback in the first round of the playoffs, resulting in the Bucks being eliminated.

However, Curry's injury does not mean that the Warriors surrender. The away victory that

yesterday was when Curry only played for 13 minutes, which boosted the Warriors' confidence in winning.

For health reasons, assuming Curry can't play in the first 6 games, if the Warriors want to pass the game, they may need to become the Rockets in 2009 and drag the game to Game 7.

In the second round of Western Conference playoffs that year, the Rockets met the Lakers (that season, Kobe led the Lakers to win the championship). After Yao Ming was reimbursed for injury, the Rockets' Artest led Rooks, Randle, Weaver and others, and the whole nation was soldier, dragging the Lakers to tiebreak.

Of course, the playoffs are not the regular season, and there is no luck at all. The test is that the quality of the stars is ultimately the Rockets were unfortunately eliminated.

The Warriors have improved their defensive efficiency by another level after experiencing the baptism of seven hand-to-hand combat in the first round. On this offensive end, when Curry is absent, players of different roles need to stand up in each game to make up for the lack of offensive firepower.

Podjemsky, Hield, may be the x-factors in subsequent matches.

And 36-year-old Butler will definitely encounter more targeted double-teams. He controls the rhythm more, creates better opportunities, and allows other players to score.

In addition, there is another more important thing, Warriors head coach Cole has a lot of tricks, let's see how he wins by surprise~
