Stephen Curry Hobbled. But the show continues.
Ask Draymond Green, who completely relied on Golden State Warriors' chances of playoff, despite leaving the serial opener of Tuesday due to a tense left hamstring on Tuesday.
Warriors one Despite the Losing Cry 99-88 wins In the second quarter.
“Robin turned into Batman, Gree Green explained. “Alfred turned into Robin and they just filled it. It was very nice to see.”
If the warriors want to lead the 2-0 series on Thursday night, they will probably have to confuse their roles once again.
The original Batman, of course, the curry. Warriors received 24 points per game in the first round of Houston Rockets and drew attention from the defenders who helped to release most of his teammates at the attacker.
Curry made a great start at the game 1 in Minnesota. In the first 13 minutes, he got 13 points and Warriors made an early leadership to suppress a Timberwolves crowd that willing to see a win.
However, Curry caught his left leg after making a floating jump shot. The bench pointed out that something right looked wrong, and quickly left the game and never returned.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that he planned Game 2 without senior sniper. Curry is expected to switch to MRI on Wednesday to learn more about the violence of the injury.
“We don't know yet, Ker Kerr said. “But it's hard to imagine that you'll play with a Hamstring on Thursday.”
So, what happens when Batman is out?
Robin gets the call.
In this case, this means Jimmy Butler. He finished 20 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in 41 minutes, while the game flirted with a triple couple in 1.
Butler loves spotlight. He played Curry's Batman this season, but he played Robin, but everyone knows that he was an alpha in his heart. Try to seize control in Game 2.
Will it work? This is a more difficult question to answer.
Minnesota is a great defense team, although it shows some faults in Game 1. Timberwolves will be desperate to save a game at home before the series shifts to the west, and coach Chris Finch will almost definitely definitely prepare a game plan to try to make Butler as much disappointed as possible.
If Robin Batman is, as Green explained, Alfred will have to fill the role of Robin. In this case, this will be asked to step into Buddy Hield and fill the gap left by Curry.
Hield has shown that he can handle extra responsibilities. In the Game 7-3-point range in Houston, including 9 to 11 to 9, 33 points in 15 shots and remained warm with 24 points on Tuesday night and threw five out of the distance from the distance.
It makes sense to think that Hield would be cool soon, perhaps the 2nd game was a good shooter, but he got an average of 11.1 points in the normal season and would think it would fall to average at some point.
Green left himself out of the definition of Batman, but clearly in any show, the bad guy. 18 points, eight rebounds and six assists had a powerful series of openings.
Perhaps Green, which is equally important, played with an edge, but took care not to pass the edge. They will have to take this approach again on Thursday, especially if the action is intensified and Timberwolves tries to overcome him in his own game by entering under his skin.
It's too early to know if Curry will go back to the show, and if so, how soon.
Nevertheless, do not count fighters.
