On May 7, the NBA playoffs continued. The Warriors will challenge the Timberwolves away today, which is the first match in the semi-finals of both sides. Warriors star Curry posted a message to celebrate his first round of prospects in the semifinals. He refused to use injuries as an excuse in an interview!

In the first round of the series, Curry averaged 24.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, broke the hats and scored 2.0 times, and his true shooting percentage was 63%, leading the Warriors to eliminate the Rockets with a total score of 4-3 to advance to the Western Conference semi-finals. Curry posted a message to celebrate his first round and look forward to the Western Conference semifinals: 4 down. Ready for what’s next! Stay #lockedin #dubnation (Four wins have been won. Get ready for the next challenge! Stay focused, Warriors Nation!)

Earlier today, Curry was interviewed after training, and he was repeatedly spoken about his still wrapped and swollen right thumb, saying, "It's a good situation." When asked if it hurts only when you get beaten? He said: "Yes, and it's almost impossible not to be beaten, but I'll be fine."

It should be noted that in the first round of the series, Rockets Dillon Brooks and others deliberately hit Curry's injured thumbs many times in the game, which once caused great controversy. However, Curry eventually led the Warriors to eliminate the Rockets and was not defeated by injuries.

Interestingly, even such a brave Curry is still questioned by Barkley. He is not optimistic about the prospects of Curry and the Warriors in the Western Conference semi-finals. He said: "You said he scored 50 points two years ago. Judging from the NBA time scale, it was like five years ago. Curry has started to decline in form. I don't think he still has the ability to score another 50 points. It's not January and February. This is the playoffs, and his condition is declining, and his hand is injured. That's what I think."

Do you think Curry can lead the Warriors to eliminate the Timberwolves?
