1-1 is OK! Two good news after the Warriors, Cole reused two players to break the deadlock, Huazi gave another big gift

NBA playoffs are in full swing. Today, the NBA has only arranged one game, which is the Warriors' away challenge to the Timberwolves. Curry played 12 minutes in the first game and left the game due to injury, but in the end the Warriors still held their advantage and defeated the Timberwolves with a big score, demonstrating their own background. Curry will definitely not be able to play in this game because he has a hamstring strain and he will have to be on the verge of at least 3 games. Before the game, everyone thought the Warriors would lose this game, and the direction of the game was as expected. In the end, after a fierce competition in four quarters, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 93:117, and the two teams tied 1:1.

But this is no big deal. It is not the end of the world for the Warriors. After all, being able to win a away game is already considered to be an over-complete task. Next, when returning to home court, the Warriors must work hard and must keep a home court. When Curry returns, the team may be able to come back to life. This game made people feel relieved that the Warriors had two gains. At the same time, Coach Cole has a 14-man rotation lineup, which is the most rotation lineup in the playoffs in the past 30 years, and two of them have performed explosively. Coach Cole must adjust its tactical arrangements to give them more playing time so that the Warriors have the chance to continue the series.

In the first quarter of this game, the Warriors performed quite poorly on the offensive end. At the beginning, the Timberwolves scored a 13:0 offensive climax, and Butler scored 5 points in a row to stabilize the situation. But at the end of the single quarter, the Warriors still trailed by 14 points with 15:29. In the second quarter, both sides tried their best on both offense and defense. The Warriors lost 3 points in a single quarter 24:27. Edwards sprained his ankle in the foot of the Warriors' inside player Davis in an offensive round and was helped to leave the field. After the third quarter, Edwards played with injuries on the Timberwolves, which injected a lot of vitality into the team and won 3 points in a single quarter at 29:26. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors narrowed the score difference for a while, but the Timberwolves won another 4 points 32:28. Finally, the whole game ended and the Timberwolves won the game. In terms of basic data, the Warriors rebounded 42:39, assisted 23:33, steals 8:10, blocked 2:5, turnovers 17:12, free throws 16:13, three-pointers 9:16, fouls 16:22, shooting percentage 45% to 51%, free throw percentage 64% to 65%, and three-point shooting percentage 28% to 43%. In this game, the Warriors made only 9 of 32 three-pointers, while the Timberwolves changed the passive situation in the first two games. Today, they made 16 of 37 three-pointers, which was quite efficient, which was the key to their defeat of the Warriors.

In this game, Butler's performance was pretty average when Curry was absent, without big ups and downs. He played 33 minutes in the game, made 6 of 13 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 3 of 5 free throws, contributing 17 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. But overall, his performance is not enough to make the Warriors win. If the Warriors want to defeat the Timberwolves, Butler will have to score at least 30 points to have a chance.

Hilder recovered some of his touch in the second half when he performed poorly in the first half. He played for 28 minutes, made 5 of 14 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 1 free throw, contributing 15 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. He could not explode every game like in the Rockets tiebreak, but as long as he averaged 20 points per game, he could slightly make up for the lineup and scoring gaps when Curry was absent.

Podjemsky made 33 minutes today, made 4 of 9 shots, scoring 11 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, with a relatively balanced offense and defense, and his performance is worthy of his playing time. Veteran Green made 29 minutes today, making 3 of 10 shots, including 1 of 6 three-pointers, scoring only 9 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. It seems that without Curry's restraint, he also lost his vitality on the offensive end, and his three-point shooting was quite bad. Post, who started the game, only made 3 minutes today, with all the data being 0, with a plus-negative value of -13. Coach Cole did not give him another chance.

The Warriors have two post-game good news today. First of all, Kumingga got playing time and seized the opportunity well. He made 26 minutes of the game, made 8 of 11 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 1 of 4 free throws, contributing 18 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. In the game, he also staged a wonderful show for the Timberwolves inside player Gobert. It seems that Coach Cole should give him enough playing time, after all, Curry was injured, and the Warriors' offensive end urgently needs someone to stand up. Kumingga's physical fitness is the best in the Warriors, and only he can match the strength of the Timberwolves.

The second good news is that Jackson Davis played a highlight inside performance. He made 19 minutes of the game, scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, and also had 1 steal and 1 block. He did not lose the battle with the opponent's inside player Gobert. Gobert made 2 of 4 shots, contributing only 5 rebounds, and had 3 turnovers and 4 fouls. After the game coach Cole said in an interview that he was proud of the positive attitude and performance that Kuminga showed tonight. Cole also mentioned that the unexpected gain of Curry's injury was the outbreak of TJD. Coach Cole should reuse Kumingga and Davis in the later home games, two players with height advantages and athleticism, which is exactly what the Warriors need urgently.

Of course, although Edwards made 33 minutes today, making 6 of 13 shots, scoring 20 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, his ankle sprain was also a gift to the Warriors. It can be said that if Edwards played with an injury, his offensive state will definitely be affected by injuries, and his efficiency will be greatly reduced.. If Edwards, who is in full health, comes on the court, he is very likely to score 30 points per game. Now he is injured and it is unlikely to score explosive power. I hope the Warriors can seize the opportunity, use their advantages to win a game at home, and wait for Curry to come back.
