Stephen Curry has Just found Draymond Green made a three-pointer on the wing, which gave the Golden State Warriors a 30-20 lead Tuesday night in the second quarter of Game 1 and forced the Minnesota Timberwolves to call out the timeout.

On the way back to Huddle, Green turned around and found Curry on the other side of the court, and Laurie moved. Green didn't see Curry's hamstrings before driving for a moment and checked his long-time teammates.

"I'll be back." Curry told Green as the point guard walked carefully to the tunnel and into the locker room.

Curry never came back.

The franchise superstar was icing on the cake in the visitor locker room, and Green grabbed the subsequent rebound of possession and immediately pushed the ball to the floor. After a few seconds, he drilled 3 times from the top of the key.

Signed "Boooooom!" After the silence of the target center, he or his teammates often shouted after the green 3-pointer. Less than a minute later, Green buried his fourth 3-pointer, improving by 14 points on the Wolves with seven minutes left in the second quarter. Despite Curry's absence, the Warriors' lead increased to 23 points in the third inning, resulting in a 99-88 victory, giving Golden State an early advantage in the series.

The moment the Warriors could have been paralyzed without a superstar shooter, Green brought life to the team. Besides anchoring the defense forced Anthony Edwards to miss his first 10 shots and put Minnesota on a 88-point shot – Minnesota failed to score 90 for the second time this season, Green helped Jimmy Butler win with 18 points, 8 rebounds and six attackers.

Green has been recalibrated since losing his composure, and he felt "embarrassed" with the Houston Rockets Game 6, the main reason why Golden State won two consecutive championships. He will have to continue to keep up the high level of the game in Curry, at least in Game 4 with Level 1 Left Ham fatigue, starting on Thursday's Game 2 (8:30 PM ET at TNT).

That was five days ago, the next day, the Warriors faced elimination in Game 7 of Houston, with players from Golden State gathering at the Houston hotel in the suburbs of Houston for a meeting. Green told ESPN that the idea of ​​holding the most important meeting of the season was decided by Curry, Butler and himself. Green poured his feelings for his teammates, and over the past few years he has learned to do it with the help of therapy and counseling. He vowed to lead the Warriors with a more balanced attitude and promised to set the right tone in Game 7.

In the first game in Minneapolis.

"He's our leader," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "When he's like (in Game 7), he's an incredible player. The defense, just have the court on that side, and then be patient, impatient, and put in the right position on the offense. I think after Game 6, we're dispersed and we're dissatisfied."

Only 24 hours Green needed to be the closest before his sixth game of his career. In Game 6, he scored 8 points, seven assists, five rebounds, three blocks, but four turnovers and wrong character, making a blatant foul of 1 in three minutes of losing 115-107.

So, before locking the weapon with Steven Adams and Alperen Sengun in Game 7, Green tweaked some slow jam to soften the 1990s R&Bs, like Jodeci and H-Town, with some R&Bs like the current R&Bs like SZA and Brent Faiyaz.

He also has a deep heart with the people he trusts most in his inner circle: his wife Hazel Renee, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo, his best friend, former Spartan teammate Travis Walton, and even his Barber.

Green told ESPN that Izzo checked his former player with much-needed tough love.

"It took me two days (in Game 6) to be embarrassed about what the world has to pay for," Green said. "I thought of coming out and proved myself again that I am the one who is peaceful, but the same fire, the same toughness."

Green went to a spa and meditated, relying on his approach to calming with NBA executives after hours of treatment, consultation and check-in zoom, as he was suspended indefinitely because he put Rudy Gobert a season ago and threw Rudy Gobert into choke and shocked jusuf nurkic.

When Kerr finally joined Saturday's meeting, he initially tried to tell the team the keys to seven games, including how he needed Green to lead better.

Green said Kerr didn't say anything to his teammates a moment ago.

Green told ESPN with a smile: "Like we were a married couple, repeating the same thing."

This is a union that produced four championships. Kerr repeatedly said that Green was one of the greatest competitors he had ever had and “the best defender I’ve ever seen in my life.”

On the morning of Game 7, Kerr had a long discussion with Green's side during the shooting team. Kerr can be seen pointing to the court several times, and Green listened intently and agreed repeatedly.

Green called the conversation “one of the better conversations we’ve ever had.” Kerr told the story and reminded Green what he’s accomplished in his career. He noted that compared to Green's resume, "No one will remember" Game 7 final result, he should have fun while calming down while giving the rest of the Warriors follow.

During that meeting, Curry talked with the team about controlling what they could control, which was not shown in the box score.

What he sees from the 7th Green is exactly how the Emotional Warrior strikes the expected Another Physical and Grinding Series that will test his calmness.

“There is no better lesson than (game 7),” Curry said Sunday. "It's like doing basketball. He doesn't need to be a silent, don't talk and show a demonstration. We want that kind of (strong and fiery) Draymond, but keep the energy to us, our huddles. Even if he mixes with (Fred's) vanvleet, he doesn't react and doesn't talk to him.

“He kept it on the basketball side.”

Green knows everything His eyes would see in him how he handled Gobert physically and mentally. He had the biggest offensive highlight of the season when he dribbled from between his legs isolated on the top of the key, then Gobert had 28 seconds left in a one-handed dunk on December 8 in a 114-106 victory.

Green kept his calm against Gobert for most of the regular season, but he would be playing an automatic single game with two other public-important fouls or three other technical hits. Green repeats the famous explosion line by comedian Charlie Murphy on "Chappelle's Performance" to describe his preference for pushing the envelope.

"I kept walking that line," Green said after defeating Houston in Game 4. "That's me. The usual itinerary."

Green was released with the technology after Greene was in contact with Vanvleet's face in Game 7, and he was frustrated with the Warriors, but Butler, assistant coaches Terry Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse calmed him down. Curry's long handshake, green, seemed to make sure his emotional teammates would be fine.

On hostile territory, fans shouted "F --- You Draymond!" At the Toyota Center, Green retaliated with 16 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and two blocks, which was the basis for defending Houston, reducing Houston to 89 points. And he minimized the drama.

This is the green that Kerr needs.

Greene has been out of curry for the first time in the playoff game since the 2018 Western Conference semifinals and passed the ball in the playoff game when Curry suffered a knee injury against the New Orleans Pelicans in Game 1. In a playoff game without Curry, the Warriors were 9-3, but it was a young green and a deeper roster for former fighter Klay Thompson. Kevin Durant played in six of these games.

Kerr will rely on Green to play more with the ball, which Houston is trying to neutralize by putting Vanvleet on the green regularly. Green is just the eighth player in NBA history, with 1,000 rebounds and 1,000 assists in the playoffs, joining Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Byront, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Scotty Piper and Jason Kidd.

Without Curry, Green will likely play some point guard to lighten Butler's ball and get the team into the game. Kerr said the coaching staff spent time on Wednesday trying to figure out how to best operate without curry.

“My mistakes were four mistakes,” Green said on Tuesday night when he looked at the first stats. “Your error margin would have shrunk sharply without Stephen. We’ll see the coach’s store. I’m not going to come out and say, ‘Oh, I need to be Stephen.’ I can’t do that.

"But I might have to deal with it a little more. Just play my own role, remember the game plan the coach gave us, and if that's what I do more games, I'll do my best to do that."

After an exciting first game victory, Green is still trying to draw life to his team with leadership. Even though curry can be seen sticking out of the locker room, Green insists that the Warriors “will not panic.”

His oath to lead is needed more than ever.

"I have to keep my guys similar," Green said after Game 7. "Forget anyone else (like Gobert). But for my guys, I need to do that, so I'll be locked. It'll be nice. But finding that balance, finding that line, not going to go over it is important to me and the team, I gave them my promise.

"I will continue to give them my promise."
