The Golden State Warriors' season came to an end as they lost 110-121 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals.

The core of the team, Stephen Curry, also rarely spoke out after the game, saying that he felt regretful and sad about not being able to play, and at the same time, he became more deeply aware of the limited life of basketball. Curry had a hamstring strain in the first game and missed four consecutive games since then, and could only watch the team being eliminated on the bench.

Recently, Curry was interviewed and said: "We just want a chance. Judging from our situation at the time, it is actually something to be proud of to be able to make the playoffs and win the first round. But I am really sad that I couldn't go on the court to help in person. We will dress up again and fight again next year."

Curry, 37 years old and having played in the league for 16 years, is facing continuous injuries and knows that his generation of players has little time left. Curry said: "People say I am a veteran, but I don't mind. On the other hand, it reminds me that basketball life is limited.

"I have to cherish every moment now. You never know if you will have the chance to play in such a crucial game again. Whether on or off the court, I have learned to enjoy the present and be grateful for this stage of life."

The Golden State Warriors dynasty, with Curry at its core, may have entered its twilight years, but their faith has never wavered. Will next season be a rekindled hope, or a farewell? Perhaps it is this uncertainty that makes people even more excited about Curry and the Golden State Warriors' next return.
