NBA playoffs continue, with the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors ushering in the fifth leg. Before that, the Warriors led the Rockets 3-1, holding the match point, and were only one game away from completing the Black Seven Miracle. The Rockets fought back and opened fire at the beginning, scoring 40 points in a single quarter, establishing a double-digit lead early. In the second quarter, the Warriors made continuous mistakes, and the Rockets seized the opportunity to launch a 14-0 offensive, with the score difference straight to 30+. Subsequently, the Warriors were unable to catch up with points, and Cole withdrew from the main force in the middle of the third quarter. Seeing this, the Rockets relaxed, and the Warriors' substitute group made efforts to catch the gap to within 20 points. Uduka had to send the main force to stabilize the situation again. In the end, the Rockets defeated the Warriors 131-116. When the Warriors led 3-1 in history, the final record of the series was 15 wins and 1 loss. The only loss was the 73-win total runner-up season, and was nailed to the shame by James. Facing the young Rockets, the Warriors responded to changes in the same situation, but underestimated the fighting spirit and adjustment ability of these young people. Take free throws for example. The Rockets made 32 of 38 free throws in this game, with a free throw shooting percentage of 84.2%, setting a new high in the series. What does this mean? In comparison, G1, the Rockets made 11 of 20 free throws, with a shooting percentage of only 55%; G3, the Rockets made 14 of 24 free throws, with a shooting percentage of only 58.3%; G4, the Rockets made 19 of 31 free throws, with a shooting percentage of only 61.3%. After the game, Kerr admitted: The Rockets made all 13 free throws in the first quarter, and they completely suppressed us. The Rockets should have an effective shooting percentage of 95% in the first half. I have never seen it in my life. We can't win this ball! The Warriors were defeated. The key is that they failed to match the opponent's strength at the beginning and dug up to 31 points. According to statistics, the Warriors fell behind 30 points in the half of the playoffs, which is the first time Cole has coached in 11 seasons. After the game, the Warriors started the five Tigers in total and scored only 40 points, setting a new low in the team's playoffs history! Even though the Warriors substitute group relied on active fighting and struggled to force the Rockets' main players to make their debut again, it was not enough to end the series away. In the words of fans, today's Warriors started without fighting spirit, as if they were deliberately waiting to return to the Bay Area to resolve the battle. After the game, Cole took the initiative to take responsibility, and he said bluntly: I failed to prepare the team to deal with the Rockets' strong desire to survive.
Rockets defended their home court strongly, and the three armies used their lives, and the starting five tigers scored in double digits. Jaylen Green returned to the locker room after being injured for a while and scored 11 points and 8 rebounds; Van Jordan continued the hot feel of G4, scoring 26 points + 4 three-pointers; Dillon was also particularly calm and focused on the game, scoring 24 points; Shin Kyung made a breakthrough in the inside, contributing 15 points + 9 rebounds + 9 assists + 2 steals + 2 blocks. He is the second center in the playoffs to give 8+ assists in half, comparable to Jokic. The most dazzling star in the Rockets' game is Amen. He played for 34 minutes, made 8 of 12 shots (1 of 1 of 3-pointers), 8 of 9 free throws, and scored 25 points + 6 rebounds + 3 assists + 5 steals + 3 blocks. The plus and minus value on the court is as high as +32, the best in the game! Cuban became the background board, among which Curry was stolen by Amen three times, and Curry and Butler also got one shot each. According to statistics, Amen is the third player in NBA history to score at least 25 points + 6 rebounds + 3 assists + 5 steals + 3 blocks in a single game in the playoffs. The top two are Olajuwon and Rick Barry.
Rockets extended their life with a 15-point victory, rewriting the series score to 2-3. After the game, the Rockets official launched the sale of G7 tickets, which caused heated discussion among fans. Some Warriors fans said: You are too confident, stop at the right time; some Rockets fans are worried: Please don’t have poisonous milk, delete it quickly; some fans expressed their support: Keep working hard, please drag the Rockets into tiebreak, I want to go to the scene to watch! For the Rockets, they are still on the edge of the cliff. Only by chewing the G6 can they truly reverse the trend of the series and continue to work hard. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
