In the Thunder and the Nuggets' tiebreaker, the home team easily won a big victory and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. Of course, the Nuggets are still honored even though they lose. The players are trying their best, especially Aaron Gordon, who is expected to play before the game and is even at risk of early reimbursement, actually forced his game with injuries. Obviously, he and the Nuggets have won respect.
So as the core of the Warriors, why did Stephen Curry play in the series with the Timberwolves? I'm afraid that in addition to the black fans waiting to watch the fun, even many Warriors and Stephen Curry fans are quite curious about this. Therefore, medical expert Pandaya explained three reasons in detail and said bluntly that there is a gap in personal situations. It is not that Stephen Curry deliberately avoids the war or does not want to take responsibility.
Many people think that Aaron Gordon has a second-degree hamstring strain and still chooses to play forcibly. Stephen Curry only has a first-degree strain, and the situation must be much lighter, so there is no problem with his appearance. This is actually nonsense. According to Pandaya's explanation, this rating is just a difference between microscopic and partial tear, not a first-degree hamstring strain, so the degree is not serious. Referring to conditions such as location, number of muscle groups near the injury and degree of inflammation, sometimes the player may have a first-degree strain, but the rest time is still very long, which may even lead to early reimbursement.
Second point: 29-year-old Aaron Gordon is actually still in his prime and is at the peak of a professional player. On the contrary, Stephen Curry is completely different. He is already 37 years old. So when he encounters such troublesome injuries, the degree of recovery and team protection must be different. If the Warriors arrive in the finals, I believe Stephen Curry will definitely fight, but the Warriors are only in the second round of the Western Conference at that time. From the absence of Stephen Curry, it can be seen that the Warriors have no choice but to fight for the Timberwolves. Both sides are not on the same level, and there is basically no hope of advancing for forced comeback, let alone competing for the championship.
In the end, Stephen Curry is a defender and needs to hold the ball a lot, which also restrains the opponent's heavy defense. Compared with those inside players who eat cake and are responsible for the ending, the pressure on the hamstrings will be greater. So it is understandable to praise Aaron Gordon, but it is not necessary to use it to hack Stephen Curry, especially from the results, it seems that it is not wise to force the deduction to make a comeback. In this year's playoffs, Aaron Gordon averaged 16.2 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, but in the case of a hamstring strain, he was in a very bad state. He simply scored 8 points in the tiebreak battle. Although he grabbed 11 rebounds, he had limited help to the Nuggets and made 4 mistakes. If he forced his comeback this time, he left hidden dangers to Aaron Gordon's body, which would be even more worth the loss.
