Being dragged into the robbery! Whether you admit it or not, the Warriors still have 3 bad news!

In a first round of Western Conference playoffs that ended not long ago, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors 115-107 away, dragging the series into a tiebreak. Both sides will take a day off and return to the Rockets to play in a life-and-death battle! Let's first briefly review the process of this game:

In this game, Kerr adjusted the starting lineup again, replaced Pojmsky with Payton Jr. to play the starting lineup. The Rockets seized the shortcomings of the Warriors' insufficient height, scored continuously in the inside, and scored 11-5 away. During the cover of Dream Chasing Green, he hit Jaylen Green and was called for a malicious foul, giving the Rockets a chance to throw two free throws and continue to widen the gap. After the timeout, Cole adjusted the lineup, and Curry and Butler scored consecutively to the Warriors overtook the score. Then the two sides tug-of-war around the 1-point difference, with a high shooting percentage. This situation continued until the second quarter, but the Warriors' offense suddenly fell silent. Rockets Van Vleet made a continuous three-pointer to double digits. Curry was called for a third foul and began to score 11 points in a row to help the team tie the score. However, after the suspension, the Rockets played a 7-0 wave to stabilize the situation. After the half-time, the Warriors were 5 points behind 48-53.

In the second half, Butler and VanVreet made three-pointers. The two sides were back and forth, and the Warriors were able to score, but they could never turn the situation around. During the rotational lineup, the Warriors' role players each hit three-pointers, while the Rockets always firmly controlled the situation on the field with their inside advantage. After the third quarter, the Warriors were still 2 points behind the Rockets. As soon as the last quarter started, Van Vreet scored 3+1. In contrast, the Warriors' own offense was completely silent, and the Rockets blossomed inside and outside, expanding their advantage to 17 points at once. Then the Rockets followed the previous defensive strategy and would rather three people attack Curry than let him score. Fortunately, they bet right today. None of the other Warriors players could stand up and score. They couldn't do it, including Butler, and in the end, the Warriors lost G6 107-115 at home! As the series is dragged into tiebreak, whether you admit it or not, the Warriors still have 3 bad news!

Bad News 1: Cole began to fall into the vicious circle of infinitely changing the starting lineup!

Let's first review what adjustments Cole made to the starting lineup after 6 games in the series. G1 and G2 Cole continued to use the most familiar starting lineup in the regular season (Curry, Butler, Zhu Meng, Bojemsky, Moody), the team achieved a 1 win and 1 loss away game. Back to home court, due to Butler's G2 injury, G3 Cole changed its starting lineup and put it on the starting lineup of Curry, Bojemsky, Zhu Meng, Kumingga, Post. This change of lineup activates Post's state well. The Warriors suppressed the Rockets and won the key G3 on both ends of the offense and defense. Kerr began his own art, won Post, replaced it with Hilder, and sent out the third starting lineup. If it weren't for Bojemsky's super-god performance in this game, the Warriors would have lost! When Cole came to G5, he continued to use the starting lineup of G4, but the starting five-man team clearly told the Rockets that I will let you win this game!

When he arrived at G6, he returned to home court, Kerr began to use his imagination again. He took it for granted that he could easily win the Rockets. He directly asked Payton Jr. to replace Pojmsky to come to the starting lineup, trying to use him to defend Van Vleet, who performed well in the previous game, but the Rockets players proved how bad Kerr's move was. After Payton Jr. came up, the Warriors lost all the inside. Curry suffered two fouls early, and the team had no room for offense, allowing the Rockets to attack Curry more boldly. When the Rockets made a three-pointer feel, they remembered the substitution and could no longer suppress it. In the end, the Rockets made 12 of 30 shots in the whole game, with a shooting percentage of 40%. The inside scored also allowed the Rockets to win 10 points 42-32! After leading 3-1 in the series, Cole took the lead in relaxing. Although there was a lineup that could win, he liked to change himself and eventually turned himself into a collapse!

Bad News 2: Curry and Butler's physical strength lights up!

Butler is 35 years old, and Curry is already 36 years old. Both of them are real veterans. Both of them play on the court with injuries. Curry's shooting thumbs swollen as big as a small table tennis ball. After Butler was injured in the G2, he can see that he is playing in a closed game. He can only dominate the game at a certain time and cannot maintain the continuity of the entire game! This can be seen even more in the fourth quarter of today's game. When the Rockets invested all their defensive forces to treat Curry, it was originally a good time for Butler to take over the game, but whether he was a single in the inside or a three-pointer from the outside, he was all a blacksmith, not to mention other Warriors players, except for the open space, and the series has already arrived at G7, especially in the first six games, the Rockets gave Curry at the historical level. It is crucial to how much physical fitness Curry and Butler can have to support it!

Bad News 3: The G6 referee still maintains the standards of the previous few games, encouraging confrontation, which is more beneficial to the Rockets!

Compared with the first two items, I think the third item is the news that the Warriors don’t want to see after the first six games. When this round of series has reached this level, the league’s six games are all called to encourage confrontation. This is a great benefit to the Rockets, and it is bad news for the Warriors! It was originally believed that the referee would be almost done to encourage confrontation in the first five games. The Lakers next door have been eliminated, and the league should retain a traffic team to enter the subsequent game. However, the G6 started playing and the Warriors returned to their home court without any penalty. On the contrary, Curry suffered three fouls in less than halftime. The Rockets players' defensive actions against Curry are still the same as in the previous games, pushing, pulling, hugging, and pulling, but the referee still turned a blind eye. If the G7 referee still has such a penalty standard, then the Warriors will really be backed 1-3 again.
