The Rockets beat the Warriors again 115-107, and tied 3-3! Who is the hero of winning? The data will not lie

Basketball

On May 3, the NBA playoffs continued, and the Warriors ushered in the Rockets' G6 game at home. For the Rockets, although they have excellent defensive ability in the series against the Warriors, averaging 47.8 rebounds per game, leading the other 15 teams in the playoffs, the team's offensive ability at critical moments is obviously weak, and their average score per game in the playoffs is 16 points lower than the regular season, and their three-point shooting percentage is far inferior to the Warriors. Jaylen Green was in a sluggish form in two away games. In the G5 game, the Rockets won the big score at home, but G6 was still on the verge of life. After a big victory in G5, morale has been greatly boosted, and the team needs more people to stand up and score on the offensive end. The good news is that VanVleet gradually finds the feel of outside shooting, but whether Jaylen Green can get out of the slump will directly determine the fate of the Rockets series and the team's upper limit in the playoffs. Although the Warriors lost the big score in G5, they withdrew their main players early and strategically gave up the G5 game, in order for G6 to have better physical fitness to harvest the game. In the first four games of the series, the Warriors' defensive efficiency and steals per game were stronger than the Rockets, and they averaged 17.8 points per game through the Rockets' turnovers. It is worth mentioning that the Warriors have found a strategy to limit Jaylen Green, which is to force him to go to the weak side of the left. At the same time, Payton Jr.'s defense is excellent on the outside, winning Kerr's trust. The G6 game was promoted to the starting position, and Zhu Meng Green's defense against Shin Kyung was also effective. For the Warriors, the G6 game must be won. Once the game enters the tiebreak, not only will it lose its home advantage, but the team's core physical fitness will also be a problem. As soon as the whistle sounded, the Rockets took the lead like an arrow from the string, and quickly occupied the field with a sharp 11-5 offensive. However, the good times did not last long. Zhu Meng Green's fierce action against Jaylen Green was decisively judged by the referee as a malicious foul. This episode seemed to inject sparks into the Warriors' counterattack. The Warriors immediately showed their strengths both inside and outside, and blossomed at multiple points, not only quickly smoothing out the score difference, but also achieving a score overtake. Faced with adversity, the Rockets were not panicked. With two accurate three-pointers, they stabilized the shaky situation, and the scores of both sides were once again in a stalemate. Entering the second quarter, the game entered a white-hot stage, and the two sides were in a row and refused to give in. The Rockets took advantage of their inside advantage and continued to hit the basket, and once expanded their lead to double digits through continuous shooting and free throws. But how could the Warriors lose easily? Curry and Butler teamed up to show their strength. The two worked together to score 10 points, quickly narrowing the gap in the score and regaining the suspense of the game. At the end of the half, the Rockets led the Warriors with a slight advantage of 53-48.

Re-fighting again, Butler and Van Vreet started a wonderful three-point battle on the outside. The scores of both sides were tightly tied, and a fierce tug-of-war began around the score difference of about 5 points. The Rockets continued to adhere to the inside offensive strategy and kept hitting the basket and scoring points; while the Warriors relied on the precise strikes from outside firepower to stubbornly grasp the score. At the critical moment, Coach Cole used the "shark-cutting tactic" to foul Adams, but unfortunately, this strategy failed to disrupt the Rockets' rhythm as expected. Curry stood up, shot and free throws, narrowing the gap to only 2 points left, regenerating the suspense of the game. In the final quarter, Van Vreet ignited the whole game with a wonderful 3+1. The Rockets took advantage of the situation to completely suppress the Warriors on both sides of the offense and defense, and expanded the lead to 17 points through continuous shooting and free throws. Faced with desperate situations, the Warriors once again used the "cut Adams" tactic, but Adams showed amazing free throw stability, hitting the free throw line again and again, stabilizing the victory for the Rockets. In the end, the Rockets defeated the Warriors with their tenacious fighting spirit and excellent team cooperation, dragged the series into a thrilling tiebreak battle.

In this game, Curry's clamping strategy against the Rockets, Curry can still play explosive scoring efficiency in the first three quarters, but he encountered physical difficulties in the last quarter and felt sluggish, which is also the main reason why the Warriors are in trouble. In the whole game, Curry made 8 of 23, 5 of 3 points and 15 points, and scored 29 points and 7 rebounds. Butler played his own characteristics today, frequently creating fouls from Rockets players, and at the same time, he was very efficient in attacking the basket, including 2+1 and buzzer-beating throws. After the game, Butler made 7 of 15 shots, 10 of 12 free throws, and scored 27 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists. But in addition to these two points, the Warriors scored 20+ points, only Moody made 5 of 13, 3 points, 5 points, and Pojem scored 10 points. Other outside shooters performed poorly, with Payton Jr., Hilder and Post basically making zero contributions.

The Rockets' winning players are as follows:

VanVleet. Since the series, VanVleet has been in a sluggish state in G1 and G2, with a total of 3 of 20 points. However, starting from G3, VanVleet has gradually found the offensive feel, scoring 25 points in G4 and 25 points in G5. In this game, Van Vleet is still the Rockets' best player on the offensive end, and repeatedly hit the Warriors' 3-pointers to help the Rockets stop the bleeding. In the whole game, VanVleet made 7 of 13 shots, 6 of 9 shots, and scored 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

Jaylen Green, after scoring 38 points in the G2 game, the Warriors conducted important research and defensive deployment on Jaylen Green. Payton Jr. had excellent restrictions on him. G3 and G4 scored in single digits, including in the big victory in the G5 vs. Rockets, Green only scored 11 points. In this game, Jaylen Green was still in a sluggish state in the first half, with no lethality in breakthroughs and poor outside shooting. He made 2 of 8 shots in the first half, 1 of 5 shots, and scored 7 points. Jaylen Green made 3 of 11 shots, 1 of 3 points, 6 shots, and scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists..

Shin Kyung, facing the Warriors who are weak inside, Shin Kyung should have played dominant data in this round of series, but to be honest, the Warriors have taken a lot of advantage in this round of series. Many fans questioned Shin Kyung's overall style of play is soft and the inside is not efficient in back-to-single singles. However, in this round of series, you should carefully look at Zhu Meng Green's defense against Shin Kyung, and many of them are defensive actions. Shin Kyung averaged 21+11 per game. Although Shin Kyung's efficiency is not very high today, the rebound protection is very outstanding. In the whole game, Shin Kyung made 11 of 19 shots, scoring 21 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals.

Amen Thompson, who had a firm attitude towards attacking the basket today, and at the same time, he pulled out of the bottom line to make mid-range shots. In the whole game, Amen scored 5 13 assists, 4 of 6 free throws, scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals; in this game, the Rockets' bench performed well today, Ethan was very efficient, 3 of 4, 2 of 3 points, 3 blocks, 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals; Jia Xiao scored accurate 3 points, 3 points, 2 of 3 points, and 8 points, Adam S can be called an inside giant, and the rebound protection and blocks for Warriors players' breakthroughs were all in place, 4 of 4 on the offensive end, scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks, and was one of the contributors to the Rockets' winning.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, Kohl and Uduka also fought wits and courage on the sidelines. Uduka let go of the role players and focused on Curry and Butler. Kohl strangled Jaylen Green to death. At the same time, after Adams was on the court, Kohl adopted the "slashing tactic". Uduka saw the situation and sent Shin Kyung to protect the rebound. Even if Adams missed the free throw, Shin Kyung could still get the rebound. Adam made 9 of 16 free throws today, and the tactic was completely invalid. Except, Cole's failure is that he sent Hilde to the starting lineup, who was both burdened on both offense and defense. Today, Uduka's troops were successfully deployed to defeat Cole.
