On April 27, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued to unfold, and the past night was also the dynamics of 3 stars, of which Curry lifted the playing time limit and is expected to return to the starting lineup; the Heat encountered trouble, Butler was suddenly injured and will be absent; after the Nets were out, Simmons was also under pressure, and now it has become a negative teaching material.
The Warriors will usher in the G5 match with the Nuggets tomorrow, and Curry is still the focus of attention before the game, this time coach Kerr revealed, "Curry will no longer have a time limit on playing in G5." But on the question of whether to start, Kerr did not give a clear reply. Judging from the situation in the last game, coupled with Curry's lack of time limit, his return to the starting lineup is also a matter of course, after all, it is not a wise choice to let the core of the team always be substituted. In the last four games, Curry has played all over the bench, averaging 27.5 points, 3 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 28 minutes per game.
The Heat will face the Hawks today in the G5 game, where they are currently leading 3-1 but are in trouble before the game, with the team's core Butler suddenly absent from the game. It is reported that Butler found that his knee was painful after getting up, and there is no further examination at present, and it is not clear what caused the knee pain, hoping that there is no major obstacle.
Butler's performance in this playoff is very good, averaging 30.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.8 steals per game, and without his appearance this time, the Hawks may have a chance to continue the series.
The Nets were swept out 4-0 by the Celtics, becoming the team's first game of the season, while Simmons, whose team has never played, became the focus of the game after the game. Originally planned to let him play in G4, but he suddenly reported a recurrence of back pain before the game, and then missed the game again, this sudden situation also made the whole team very frustrated and disappointed. Afterwards, the team management, Simmons and his agent, Rich Paul, had a meeting in which Simmons revealed that he had a psychological disability and really wanted to play and play for the Nets, but he wasn't fully healthy.
Fortunately, the team is still very supportive of him and willing to provide all kinds of help, in fact, they have no other choice, after all, there is no value in trading. Simmons has now become a classic example of a psychological disorder, the subject of discussion in graduate-level sports psychology programs across the country. Simmons wants to resolve these embarrassments only to prove himself by returning to play next season.
