9:55pm, 11 May 2025Basketball

On a stage like the highly anticipated NBA playoffs, every game is related to the fate of the team, and the performance of every player has attracted much attention. On May 5, the Rockets and the Warriors' tiebreak battle came to an end, and the Rockets lost to the Warriors 89-103 and missed the promotion. In this game, Rockets players' performances have highlights and lows. Here are their post-match ratings.

1. Amen Thompson: 8 points

Amen Thompson is the highlight of the Rockets in this game. He made 9 of 16 shots in the game, scoring 24 points efficiently, plus 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. On the offensive end, he actively rushes to the basket, tearing open the Warriors' defense many times, creating scoring opportunities for the team. On the defensive end, he also tried his best to put certain restrictions on the Warriors' outside players. If it weren't for his tough performance on the court, the Rockets' point gap might have been widened.

2. Shin Jing: 5 points

Shen Jing scored 21 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists in this game. The data seems to be comprehensive, but his performance is not satisfactory. He made only 9 of 23 shots in the game, with a low shooting percentage and low offensive efficiency, and failed to make layups many times. On the defensive end, his footsteps were slow, and there were problems with the Warriors' small lineup. He also made 5 fouls, which also limited his role on the court.

3, VanVleet: 6 points

VanVleet made 6 of 13 shots in the game, scoring 17 points and 7 rebounds. He made 3 of 6 three-pointers. On the offensive end, he has a certain scoring ability and can also open up the situation for the team through three-pointers. However, as a player with championship experience on the team, his performance in the final quarter was disappointing. He failed to play his due role when the team needed him to stabilize the situation.

4, Jaylen Green: 4 points

Jaylen Green played for 30 minutes, made 3 of 8 shots, including 0 of 2 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 8 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. In the series, his performance fluctuated, with a shooting percentage of less than 40% in five consecutive games. On the defensive end, his performance was not active enough. He lost many defensive positions against Warriors players and failed to provide the team with sufficient defensive support, which became a major loophole in the Rockets' outside.

5. Dillon Brooks: 3 points

Dillon made 3 of 9 shots in the game, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and scored only 6 points. He was completely lost on the offensive end, had no sight outside the three-point line, and could not provide effective fire support to the team. On the defensive end, he was unable to limit the Warriors' players. He was beaten by players such as Hilder, and there were problems with his defensive awareness and defensive ability.

Six, Ethan: 5 points

Ethan scored 5 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks on 2 of 6 shots. He performed more positively on the defensive end and was able to provide the team with certain defensive contributions through his own scrambling and blocking. But on the offensive end, his ability is limited, his scoring means are single, and his shooting percentage is not high.

7, Adams: 4 points

Adams scored 3 points and 7 rebounds with 1 of 4 shots. His performance in the inside line in the series was remarkable, but he was in poor condition in this game, frequently shot and did not do well in rebounding protection, and was successfully restricted by Rooney. On the offensive end, he lacks effective offensive methods and cannot pose enough threat to the Warriors in the inside. On the defensive end, his movement speed is slow and his small lineup is not timely changing defense against the Warriors, resulting in loopholes in the team's inside defense.

The Rockets failed to advance in the tiebreak this time and failed to advance. It is not the responsibility of a player, but the lack of the entire team in many aspects. Young players lack experience and their mentality and performance in key games are not stable enough; core players fail to play their due dominance, and there is room for improvement on both ends of offense and defense. This also sounded the alarm for the Rockets' future development. In the offseason, the team needs to work hard on player training and tactical adjustments, and look forward to making a comeback next season.
