[Reporter Nian Miaoyun/Comprehensive Report] Stephen Curry, the first brother of the Warriors, was injured yesterday in the game against the Rockets. The injury status was revealed today. It is a torn right abdominal oblique muscle and will be evaluated after two weeks of rest. Regarding this result, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr believes that it is actually better than expected. It was originally expected that the situation would be worse, but the team currently has a better ability than last year to cope with Curry's absence.
"I think this is pretty much what we expected. It could have been worse, so it's good to know that at this stage it looks like he's going to be fine, and we're all waiting to see how things develop in the next week or two." Kerr expressed his views in an interview with a local program in the Bay Area after learning of Curry's injury.
Curry missed a lot of time last season due to "runner's knee". Cole believes that the team is better equipped to cope with Curry's absence this year than last year. "When Steve fell down last year, Jimmy Butler (Jimmy Butler) was already out, and we didn't have anyone who could take over the offense. We really have to score as a team. We have to create advantages through tactics, and we have to play good defense. Our room for error is very small."
Kerr named Yaxel Lendeborg after joining, which at least expanded the fault tolerance space. When the team is missing Curry, there is still a chance to compete. The host asked if the team has any other offensive scoring points? Kerr said: "It's not really about one individual, it's more about the system and the way we play. I feel like we have to create advantages through tactical execution, and when we do that, you're going to see different players step up."
However, Kerr also relaxed that in the absence of Curry, the roles of Lundberg and Brandin Podziemski will be more important. "I think the idea now is that we have to have Podziemski or Lundberg on the court at any time, so we will change the rotation to reflect that, but we are not sure yet what that will look like."
