Even though Curry was obviously unable to play, the Warriors still provided a lot of playing time for Zhu Meng?

In a previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G5, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors 121-110. After this game, the Timberwolves locked the total score of this round of series to 4-1, reaching the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, while the Warriors were eliminated, ending the playoff journey this season.

In this game, the Warriors' starting power forward Draymond Green's performance is worthy of recognition. Green played 35 minutes and 46 seconds in the game, made 4 of 11 shots, 1 of 6 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. He also had 3 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -9. Green is still feelingless on the offensive end, his offensive efficiency is not ideal, his three-point shooting percentage is a mess, and he has not played his own characteristics at all on the offensive end. Green's performance on the defensive end also lacked sufficient contribution, and his personal defensive ability was also not displayed. Green's performance on both offense and defense was very disappointing. Green, who had obtained a lot of ball rights, was completely unable to meet expectations in his performance. His poor performance was also an important factor in the team's failure. With such a bad state, you can still get so much playing time, and such a tactical arrangement is indeed a bit incomprehensible.

In the NBA regular season this season, Green played a total of 68 games in 82 games, averaging 29.2 minutes per game, averaging 9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block, and 2.6 turnovers and 3.2 fouls, shooting percentage of 42.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 32.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 68.7%. In the playoffs, Green averaged 32.4 minutes in these 12 games, with averaging 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 3.7 fouls. He also had 38.9% shooting percentage, 26.7% from three-point shooting percentage and 69.2% from free throws.

Green's performance during this round of series was simply terrible. His scoring ability was very poor, his offensive efficiency was a mess, and his turnover number remained high. Most of the time, his negative impact on the team on the offensive end was also visible to the naked eye. In fact, everyone can feel that with Stephen Curry's absence, Green's value is very limited, and it can even be said to be full of negative effects. As a result, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was still full of confidence in his personnel arrangements, and he was still unwilling to change his established tactics. As a result, everyone saw that Green also relied on his own efforts to help the team lose this series.
