The big score is 3-3! Why are the Rockets so strong? Curry was very frustrated after the game, and Uduka made the point clearly

Today's NBA playoffs, the Warriors lost to the Rockets 107-115. The process of this game was ups and downs. The Rockets only led by 4 points in the first quarter, but the score difference in the second quarter was still not widened. The Warriors had the upper hand in the third quarter. With Van Vreett playing 2+1 in the last quarter, the Rockets instantly led by 17 points. The Warriors had no choice but to use the tactic of cutting Adams, but the Rockets played steadily and did not give a chance, and the Warriors lost in the end. In terms of data, Curry scored 29 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 turnovers, Butler scored 27 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, and on the Rockets, VanVleet scored 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Shin Kyung scored 21 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, Amen Thompson scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, and Adams scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks.

After this game, the series score reached 3-3, and another tiebreaker in the West was born. The G7 Rockets have a home advantage, which shows that their chance to eliminate the Warriors has come. The facts prove that the Rockets' strength is seriously underestimated. You should know that the outside world is generally optimistic about the Warriors at the beginning of the playoffs. The reason is nothing more than that of the Warriors, with rich playoff experience, and the Warriors' star rank is higher. The Rockets' young men have no playoff experience, and the upper limit of Green and Shin Kyung is not as good as Curry and Butler, but the Rockets also have their own advantages, that is, their athletic ability, defensive ability and inside line must surpass the Warriors. What's important is that the Rockets are still quite tenacious.

Looking at this game, Van Vritte is undoubtedly an important contributor to the Rockets' winning. He turned into Jordan again, scoring 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter. Van Jordan began to make a strong effort in the second half. When the Warriors launched a counterattack, he made consecutive three-pointers and gave a response. In the last quarter, Van Jordan performed superbly, with three-pointers, jump shots and free throws. In terms of performance, he beat Curry completely. Curry made 9 of 23 shots and was not efficient, while Van Jordan made 7 of 13 shots. It should be noted that Van Jordan has exploded in three consecutive games, with G5 scoring 26 points and G4 scoring 25 points, which is much more stable than Jaylen Green. Looking back at the regular season, many fans think that Van Jordan has made too many shots.

snatched Jaylen Green's role, but the difference between the two players in the playoffs has emerged. Jaylen Green only performed well in G2, and was sluggish in the other five games. If the Rockets were eliminated in the seventh game, Jaylen Green would probably be traded. The Rockets might as well pursue superstars, such as Durant or Antetokounmpo. In addition to Van Jordan, Shin Kyung played well. In the first quarter, he attacked the inside line, causing trouble for the Warriors' defense. Shin Kyung was still determined in the second half. Compared with Jaylen Green, Shin Kyung at least dared to fight and Jaylen Green didn't have the courage to do so. According to the NBA's big data statistics, Shin Kyung achieved at least 125 points, 50 rebounds and 25 assists in just 6 playoff games, tied with Jokic and tied for the fastest center in NBA history.

We cannot ignore the Rockets' other winners, such as Amen Thompson, who has basically followed Curry on the defensive end. Curry only scored 3 points in the final quarter, but was locked by Amen. For example, Adams made 4 of 4 shots and sent 3 blocks on the defensive end to complete his mission well. The Warriors are not good at the inside, and Uduka can play the double tower lineup of Shen Jing + Adams, with double protection of rebounding and frame protection. It can be imagined that even if the Warriors can beat the Rockets, they may not be better than the Lakers in the second round against the Timberwolves. There is also Ethan, the defensive end is really a fight. Winning the G6 has greatly increased the Rockets' confidence, and the Warriors are in danger of tiebreaking seven. After the game, Curry was interviewed. When he first talked about the loss, he said frustrated: "They (the Rockets) played very well. You have to praise them. They beat us at our home court, executed the tactics well, and did a good job in all aspects. They should win this game." These words are easy to understand. Curry lost with confidence. He didn't understand why the Rockets were so strong. Curry then continued: "We have not given up on competition. If you don't come with a good attitude, then you will be a long holiday. You definitely don't want to be the team that will leave."

It can be seen that although Curry was frustrated, he was still confident in tiebreaks. Uduka also accepted an interview after the game. When talking about tiebreaks, he said: "I think the key is to destroy their specific tactical cooperation. Our current defense is very good, and we need to go further now. We implement more targeted defense against the Warriors' players characteristics." Uduka made it clear. He said bluntly that the Rockets have figured out the Warriors' tactics and undoubtedly put pressure on the Warriors. To be honest, the Rockets have a higher chance of winning against the Timberwolves. The Warriors' poor inside line are likely to suffer losses. I hope the Rockets can seize the opportunity.
