But as the game reached the second half, Stephen Curry made New Yorkers break out in a cold sweat.
He fell during a scuffle and twisted his ankle.
At that moment, the painful expression on his face made Knicks fans think he was about to suffer another injury, Barkley joked, "Stephen Curry's ankles are as tender as his face!"
Fortunately, the final outcome was without danger, as Stephen Curry tied his shoelaces and stomped his feet, and then he was fine.
However, Su Wan was already considering adjusting Stephen Curry's force exertion this summer.
He was very clear that in his third professional season, Stephen Curry would suffer a major ankle injury, so severe that the doctors issued him an "ankle death notice." Afterwards, by changing the way he exerted force, Stephen Curry experienced a baptism of fire.
Now, Su Wan viewed each ankle twist as a harbinger...
He couldn't just watch Stephen Curry miss the entire season.
