The Warriors and the Rockets have finished their 6th game. They all thought the Warriors would win the series at home, but everyone saw that the Warriors lost again. In fact, in this game, the Rockets and the Warriors are a bit passive when they play more calmly. The Rockets won the game and dragged the series to tiebreak. The Warriors lost at home, and they blindly changed the formation. Cole became a frightened bird.

For the Warriors, after the 5th game was released, the 6th game was a desperate battle. As a result, we all saw that the Warriors were still suppressed and did not accept the game at home. Although there is still a tiebreak in the game, for the Warriors, this kind of game is too much to consume, and they have no physical fitness until the end of the game 6. For the Rockets, after they chased each other for two games in a row, their confidence also increased. I have to say that these young people are really brave.

So how did the Warriors lose in this game? First, blindly changing the array has an impact. The Warriors were clearly the leading side in the series, but Cole chose to change the lineup and got Payton Jr. to the start. As a result, we all saw that it not only affected the performance of the starting lineup, but also affected the rhythm of the team's rotation. Actually, I really don’t know what to think. Now is not the time to find a lineup to play with. Cole paid the price for his formation change, and this game was also a big deal.

Second, Cole became a frightened bird. Why is Cole a frightened bird? It was mainly because of Van Vreet's continuous performance. At the previous pace, Van Vreeter had a good game and then had to slow down a few more games. As a result, after performing continuously, Cole hesitated and was also very afraid of Van Vritte. After this tactical adjustment, the Warriors became less accustomed to it. It can only be said that Van Vreet is in a good state and still scored 29 points in this game.

Third, role players do not perform well. The Warriors' passive games in this round of the series, the role players performed quite poorly. We have also seen this game. Hilder scored 0 points in the starting lineup, Payton Jr. scored 5 points, and Podjemsky only scored 10 points. When these players have no contribution, they have to rely on Butler and Curry. Butler and Curry both played, but the rest of the players could not play, so it would naturally be difficult to win.

Fourth, the physical energy consumption is too high and I can't be beaten later. As we all know, the Warriors are all veterans, and if they play a stalemate, it will be very unfavorable for them. We have seen this game. The Warriors cannot support their physical fitness in the later stages, and Butler and Curry are both tired. In general, after the Warriors lost this game, the next tiebreak is next. The tiebreaker is another starting line, and the Rockets have a bigger chance of winning because at their home court.
