Strange playoffs? Losing the game, all the players are happy! The main players leave early, and the substitutes are not satisfied with the qualities

The playoffs continued. In the Warriors' G5 game, they lost to the Rockets with a big score. Even though they were 30 points behind, Kerr was still calm, and Green on the field was even more smiling. On the other hand, Uduka was solemn on the court and did not dare to relax at all. The game was only halfway through the third quarter, and the Warriors were already 30 points behind the Rockets. Kerr waved his hand and gave up the game directly, and all the main players were out.

, Uduka, who thought he had a stable win, also chose to withdraw his main player, but no one expected that the Warriors' substitute player was like a chicken-blooded shot, and once nearly scored the score difference to 13 points. It was not until the Rockets re-placed the main player that they successfully accepted the game.

For the Warriors, there is actually no plan to win this game. It can be seen from the offenses of Curry and Butler. Perhaps some people think it is because the Rockets' defense is too good. In fact, it is not the case. After the whole game, the Warriors took the most shots in the whole game were Moody and Knox. Curry and Butler were invisible throughout the game. It is hard to imagine that this is actually a playoff-level game. When the Rockets fantasized about continuing to win the G6, they didn't realize that they happened to hit the Warriors' thoughts.

Look at other teams, everyone is fighting for the playoff level competition. Instead, the Warriors chose to give up tactically at this time. In fact, the reason is easy to understand. The Warriors want to bring victory back to their home court. Tickets and surrounding income are astronomical. Even Butler, who is worth 60 million, is the income of a game.

At this time, maybe everyone will understand why the Warriors choose to give up the game in G5. First of all, they are confident in their own strength, and more importantly, they want to return to their home court and make a big profit. Some people will definitely think that the Warriors are a little careless and don’t lose money in the end, but please don’t forget that when the G3, when Butler was unable to play due to injury, the Rockets still did not seize the opportunity to win. Now that all the players are healthy, it is even more difficult for the Rockets to win the G6.

What's more, the Warriors made everyone's curiosity in one game, from 30 points behind to chasing to 13 points, is the Warriors' substitute really that strong? You should know that the Rockets are a talented young player. In fact, in my opinion, the most important reason is confidence.

When he led the Rockets 3-1, the series could have ended early. The Warriors' self-confidence has been unprecedentedly improved. Young players such as Boger and Moody have grown to a certain extent in the baptism of the series. After watching the performance of Redick and Coach Lu, he suddenly found that Cole was really very experienced. At the beginning, he thought Cole could only use wireless to switch defenses. Now, Cole is worthy of being the championship coach.

Of course, the playoffs have not ended, and the Warriors cannot let go of their vigilance. This game can be strategically given up. Next, return to the home court is a life-and-death battle. The Rockets will definitely show a more dangerous defensive and offensive attitude. Whether the Warriors can hold on to the pressure, let us wait and see.

Why suddenly, I have a bad premonition. Seeing such a "arrogant" Warriors, I always feel that the G6 Warriors are in danger. What do you think? Welcome to the end of G6 to witness the ending.
