On May 5, the second tiebreak in the Western Conference in the NBA playoffs was between the Warriors and the Rockets, and the significance of this game was even higher than the Clippers and Nuggets who ended first. Because the Rockets tied with each other when they were 1:3 behind, they had the opportunity to challenge a small probability of a big comeback at home, while Curry had to avoid creating an embarrassing record.
As the seventh in the Western Conference in the regular season, the Warriors experienced Butler's injury in this series, and Curry also led the team to win with 38 points in the third game. But gradually, the Rockets found a way to win. They firmly attacked the inside and finally magnified the Warriors' problems infinitely.
As the game deepened, the unstable players on the Warriors' role players were quickly demonstrated, especially in the last game, Hilder scored no point. His performance with Pojemsky was like the barometer of the Warriors. Once he could score continuously, he could liberate Butler and Curry well, and the Warriors also played smoothly.
At the same time, the Warriors also encountered difficulties on the defensive end. Payton Jr. could only choose one of Jaylen Green and Van Vreett on the court. Once they focused on one person, the other one would explode. In these two games, the Warriors could no longer hold Van Vreett's performance.
In view of the above situation, the famous Guy Su Qun pointed the problem clearly in his analysis. He believes that whether the Rockets can win mainly depends on their mentality. In such a tiebreak battle, once they enter the last eight minutes or fall behind, the Rockets will face a considerable test of experience.
In other words, the Warriors on the other side need to avoid one situation most, that is, they will lose a big score early. Once the Warriors let their opponents play smoothly at home and rush up, then the game will be beaten, and no matter how strong the star with the pressure resistance is, it will be useless.
The one-sided situation of today's Clippers and Nuggets' matches has reminded the two teams, so the game between the Warriors and the Rockets must be dismantled very finely, and both need to hold down the opponent's climax attack.
