On May 5, a highly anticipated tiebreak battle will begin at the Rockets' home court, against both sides of the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets. This game is like a hanging trophy, attracting the attention of countless fans. Who can finally win it and successfully advance to the Western Conference semi-finals with the Timberwolves, becoming the focus of attention of the whole audience.

NBA official took the lead in releasing a set of key data, adding more historical weight to this war. This game is the 153rd tiebreak game in NBA history. Just yesterday, the 152nd tiebreak game just ended. The Nuggets ended with a big victory over the Clippers and advanced to the Western Conference semi-finals. The Warriors have experienced 11 tiebreak battles in history, while the Rockets have even more, reaching 12. Both teams successfully topped the top in the last tiebreak, the Warriors defeated the Kings in the first round of tiebreak in 2023, while the Rockets defeated the Thunder in the first round of tiebreak in 2020. These past achievements are like bright stars, illuminating their path to the seventh tie.

This competition is of great significance and carries the mission of creating history. If the Rockets can defeat the Warriors in this game, they will become the 14th team in the history of the league to reverse the winning team when they are behind 1-3 in total score. This feat is like the Warriors going upstream, breaking the convention and writing a legend; if the Warriors can defeat the Rockets, they will become the 7th seed of the No. 7 who eliminates the No. 2 seed in the current playoffs (from the 1983-84 season), like a new star, shining unique light in the fiercely competitive starry sky.

Looking back on the past three games, the Rockets' VanVleet's condition is hot. He is like a burning torch, averaged 26.7 points per game, made 18 of 27 three-pointers, and a three-point shooting percentage of up to 66.7%, which made the opponent intimidated. Only two players in NBA history have scored at least 50 points in the tiebreak, with Tatum and Curry being two of them. Their brilliant achievements are like towering mountains, inspiring latecomers to continue to climb.

Rockets players are full of expectations for this tiebreak battle. After Shin Kyung finished the sixth game, he was as excited as a soldier about to go on the battle. He said bluntly that he felt that he would be able to continue the seventh game immediately. In this round of the series, he couldn't sleep well, but the magical thing was that he didn't feel tired at all, but instead thought that this excitement helped him a lot. He also spoke confidently, although the total score is currently tied 3-3, in his heart, the Warriors have never really beat the Rockets in this round of the series. "We defeated ourselves, missed the free throw, and failed to grasp the simple scoring opportunity. When we are fully focused, we can play at a high level. Our team is talented and there is no reason to lose this game." Shin Kyung's words were like the horn of a battle, inspiring his teammates to move forward bravely.

Rockets' dream chase means that the tiebreaker will be head-on, showing the Warriors' fearless fighting spirit; Dillon reminds his teammates to calm down and control his emotions. "In all these games before the tiebreak, we were calm and able to control our emotions. We were to help each other and do what our teammates should do. We need to cherish every ball. We don't need malicious fouls, technical fouls, or interrupt the game. We need to play well. We need to stay calm. We need to unite." Dillon's words were like a warm spring breeze, soothing the restless hearts of his teammates.

The game has not started yet, and the Rockets' scene is covered with red cheering T-shirts given to fans. Looking around, the home court will inevitably become a red ocean, and the warm atmosphere is like burning flames, injecting endless power into the team.

game started and the players on both sides quickly entered the state. Rockets players ran like flying on the court, actively fighting for every rebound, defending like a solid wall, not giving the Warriors a chance to score easily. Shin Jing is like a beast in the inside. Every strong attack makes his opponent frightened, and his flexible steps make the defenders elusive. Van Vleet was like an accurate sniper rifle on the outside, constantly looking for opportunities to take action. His three-pointer passed through the sky again and again, falling into the basket like a meteor, igniting the enthusiasm of the fans on the scene. The Warriors are not to be outdone. They organize their offenses in an orderly manner with their rich game experience. Curry seemed to have a magical magic wand in his hand. His three-pointer was like a precisely guided missile, which could always hit the target at critical moments and give his opponent a fatal blow. Green is like an iron-blooded guard on the defensive end, and his rebounding and defense give the Rockets a headache. The two sides are back and forth, and the scores are rising alternately, and the gains and losses of each point touch the heartstrings of the fans. The game entered a white-hot stage, and the Rockets' Shin Kyung continued his strong performance. His strong offense and support in the inside made the Rockets' offense vivid. VanVleet continued his fiery touch, and his three-pointer fell like a raindrop, making the Warriors' defense lose sight of one thing. Under Curry's leadership, the Warriors continued to launch counterattacks. Curry's breakthrough and passing on the court were like a lively dancer, shuttled between the Rockets' defense, looking for the best scoring opportunity.

At the critical moment, the Rockets players showed strong psychological qualities. They tried their best on the defensive end and did not give the Warriors a chance to score easily; on the offensive end, they took decisive action and sent the ball into the basket again and again. Shin Kyung's key score at the last moment of the game was like a stabilizing needle, stabilizing the situation of the Rockets.
