Curry is sure to be missing at least three games! He is injured and frustrated and shed tears. The Warriors have tried 11 days of recovery for him?

On May 8, the Warriors officially announced that after an MRI test, Curry was diagnosed with a first-degree hamstring strain and will undergo a re-evaluation of the injury in a week. This means Curry missed at least three consecutive games and would have to return in Game 5 in Minneapolis at the earliest.

"He was really frustrated," Cole said after seeing Curry with an ice pack on his legs during the break. According to Warriors Marcus Thompson, the experienced coach was speechless when Cole saw the superstar who had coached for 11 seasons in extreme disappointment. Seeing the tears rolling in Curry's eyes, Cole understood in his heart that the player's heartache after he learned about the strain of his left hamstring. At this moment, his words seemed so pale and powerless that he could not comfort Curry, and Cole himself did not know what to say. So, in the visiting team locker room, Cole didn't try to find the right words, but just hugged his own point guard tightly. After the game, Cole said: "I was all I could do at that time, and I really felt sorry for him. He gave everything to the team and devoted all his efforts to the game."

Curry's absence will put more pressure on Butler, Zhu Meng and the readjustment of the rotation. Medical experts said that this injury cannot persist in the competition with injuries, and sufficient time must be given to recover, otherwise the injury will continue to worsen. Although Curry can come back in Game 5 as early as the first time, it will be safer if he can play again in Game 6.

Because there is only one day off between each of the first five games of the series, and before Game 6, the Warriors will have three days off, which will provide Curry with 11 days of healing and recovery time. The Warriors need to win at least one more game in this series and drag the game into Game 6 so that they can use those three days of rest to get Curry back better. The Warriors spent two years returning to the playoffs stage and returning to the competition. In order to reorganize the lineup, they carefully plan to not only tap the potential of the existing lineup, but also take into account the future development of the team; in the trough period, they wait patiently; during this period, they have experienced too many changes, losses, and setbacks, and have countless thoughts of wanting to give up and pin their hopes on the younger generation.

But Curry has always been on the road to winning the championship. He made countless efforts to maintain a high-level competitive state; with strong willpower, he silently assumed more responsibilities; with firm belief, he always believed that the team could return to the top.

Now, they are moving towards their goals and have achieved phased results.

The Warriors gained the upper hand in the Western Conference semi-finals G1, and all this was achieved with Curry playing for only 13 minutes. If Curry is present throughout the game, the Timberwolves may have a harder time, and the Warriors' hope of advancing to the Western Conference Finals will increase greatly.

However, everything changed after Curry's emergency stop, landing and jumping -

At that time, he tried to interfere with Conley's pass, and with 9 minutes and 6 seconds left in the second quarter, he reached out to his left hamstring, and he was still defending. He limped as the dribble was propelling. At that moment, we don’t know what he would think and say to himself. But the unprecedented pain and physical limitations must have been lingering.

Curry still insists on implementing the team's tactics. After passing the ball to Zhu Meng in the low post, he frequently rubbed the back of his legs, and then used Hilder's cover to hit a throw in the right elbow area.

With 8 minutes and 48 seconds left before the end of the half, Curry signaled to the bench to replace himself. He played another round of offense, attracted the opponent's double team, and assisted Zhu Meng to shoot the second three-pointer. Then the Timberwolves called a timeout, and Curry took this opportunity to leave the field.

On the court, the players of the two teams dispersed during the timeout. Curry told Zhu Meng that he was fine, and then walked straight to the locker room without even going to the team doctor for examination. He trotted through the passage, hoping that it was just a minor injury and that he could continue to compete.

But reality is so cruel, it is a dilemma that his will cannot overcome.

"It's tough," Butler said, "He's one of the greatest players of all time and he's eager to play. I think he understands, and we all know that as long as he plays at a high level on the court, the game will be a lot easier for us. But I think we're ready to continue playing without him and strive for victory. While we don't want him to be out of here, we're ready to deal with it and may have to." Marcus Thompson revealed that amid the noise of celebrating victory in the locker room after the game, Curry sat quietly, wearing blue headphones, listening, and smiling. Finally, he stood up, and after a brief conversation with Little Payton, he slowly walked out of the locker room. His footsteps were a little staggering, and the Warriors' hope for winning the championship was now tightly connected to his injured left hamstring.

Now, whether he can make a comeback soon depends on the performance of his teammates and the fighting spirit they have developed over the past three months. Teammates must win him time to recover through victory, striving to prevent this season, full of twists and turns, full of countless sacrifices, from ending in this way.
