Van Vreet scored 26 points to save the master! Moody s 25+9 drinks and hates, and the suspense of life and death battles increased sharply!
5:11pm, 8 May 2025【Basketball】
On May 1, the NBA playoffs ushered in a life-and-death battle. The Rockets, who had been behind 1-3, fought back. With Van Vreet's 26-point firepower output and Amen Thompson's performance of offense and defense, they finally defeated the Warriors 131-116 and tied the score to 2-3.
This game not only continued the suspense of the series, but also made Curry's 13-point performance a hot topic.
This showdown consists of the rise of young players and the struggle of veterans, which can be regarded as a classic battle of playoff resilience and strategy. The smell of gunpowder in the battle of life and death and the outbreak of the game
The beginning of the game is full of drama.
Rockets core Jaylen Green left the court with a knee discomfort during a breakthrough, but Van Vreet quickly took over the game, hitting three-pointers in a row, scoring 12 points in the first quarter, leading the team to score a high score of 40 points in a single quarter.
Warriors fell into a slow-heating circle. Curry only scored 3 points in the first quarter, and the defensive end frequently missed people, and the score difference was instantly widened to double digits. The full firepower of this section not only demonstrates the Rockets' determination to fight back, but also lays the groundwork for subsequent victory.
Van Variett's leader always struggles with the Warriors
When the Warriors try to chase points through Curry and Green's outside shots, Van Variett can always respond with accurate mid-range and three-pointers.
His efficient performance made 8 of 13 shots in the game, especially in the third quarter, the Warriors scored 7 points in a row, completely destroying their opponent's hopes.
In contrast, Curry made only 3 goals with 9 three-pointers in the game, and the core was silent, causing the offensive system to collapse.
Even though Moody scored 25 points on the bench, the score gap of the Warriors role players made the chase point pale and powerless.
The rise and conflict episode of young forces
The Rockets' victory was not only Van Vreet's solo show, but also benefited from the explosion of young players.
Amen Thompson contributed 25 points while sending 5 steals and 3 blocks to suppress the Warriors' forward line on both offense and defense.
At the end of the game, Spencer broke out in a conflict with the Warriors players and was expelled. This episode ignited the whole game's emotions, but also exposed the Warriors' impatientness.
The Rockets firmly controlled the score difference to around 20 points through team cooperation (6 players in the team scored in double digits) and quick conversion, showing stronger tactical execution.
Series suspense and future prospects
Although the Warriors still hold the match points, the defeat in this game exposed the team's hidden dangers - excessive dependence on Curry and slow defensive rotation.
Rockets rekindled confidence through this victory. If the team's basketball and defense intensity continue, tiebreaking seven is not a fantasy.
In the next duel, the Warriors need to adjust their external feel, and whether the Rockets can continue their fighting spirit of "exploding in desperate situations" will become the biggest highlight of the series.
"Fire War" has always been the king of topics. Do you think the Rockets can drag the game into tiebreak in one go? How will Curry respond to his sluggish performance in the next game? Welcome to leave your opinions in the comment section!
