In the fierce competition and changing NBA arena, every player's performance is like the stars shining in the night sky. Some of the light is faint and fleeting, while others can illuminate the entire battle situation brilliantly. Steven Adams, a player who has been questioned by many people, was like a shooting star breaking through the dark in the Rockets and Warriors series, changing the trend of the game with an amazing performance and becoming the focus of everyone's attention. At the beginning of the game, Adams quickly entered the state like a lion who woke up after a deep sleep. His huge body moved on the court like a moving fortress, which brought huge obstacles to the Warriors' offense. On the defensive end, he spread his arms, like an eagle spreading his wings, staring at his opponents tightly, preventing them from breaking through the defense line easily. Every time the opponent tries to hit the inside, he can block his opponent outside with his strong body and excellent defensive consciousness.

Adams played for only 31 minutes but performed efficiently. He was like an accurate sniper on the offensive end, making 4 of 4 shots, 9 of 16 free throws, and easily scored 17 points. The performance on the free throw line is like an artist with excellent skills completing a perfect work, and every move is full of confidence and strength. His five rebounds were like guards guarding the territory, firmly controlling the rebound, winning more offensive opportunities for the team. One steal and three blocks made the opponent even more frightened. His defense was like a solid wall, which made the Warriors' offense repeatedly frustrated.

It is worth mentioning that Adams encountered his opponent's "Slashing Sea King tactic" in the third and fourth quarters. It's like encountering a sudden attack from the enemy on the battlefield, and the opponent tries to make him make free throw mistakes through frequent fouls, thus disrupting the Rockets' rhythm. However, Adams was not influenced by this tactic. He was like a tenacious warrior who remained calm and confident in the midst of difficulties. Especially in the last moment, his four free throws directly stunned Warriors coach Cole. These four free throws, like 4 deadly bullets, pierced the Warriors' defense and also allowed the Rockets to take the initiative in this critical game.

NBA reporter Kevin O'Connor posted the data for this round of the series. Adams was +53 when he was on the court, and the Rockets were -39 when he was on the court. This set of data is like a mirror, clearly reflecting the importance of Adams to the team. He is like the team's stabilization needle. As long as he is on the court, the Rockets are like having a solid fortress, indestructible; and when he leaves the court, the team is like losing its backbone and becoming shaky.

Looking back at Adams's career, he has not been smooth sailing. Last season, he suffered a tear of ACL on his right knee and had to undergo surgery, which was reimbursed throughout the season. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to a player who is in the rising stage. It was like an eagle soaring in the sky, suddenly breaking its wings and falling into trouble. However, the Rockets did not give up on him. In February 2024, the Rockets exchanged Oladipo and three second round picks for Adams, who was still recovering from injuries. At that time, many people did not understand the Rockets' operation and believed that using three second round picks to exchange for a player who could not play was simply a loss-making deal. General Manager Raphael Stone is stubbornly opposed. He firmly believes in Adams' defensive talent, just like a unique mentor, who sees the potential of Adams, a thousand-mile horse.

Uduka is also one of the people who strongly advocated the introduction of Adams, and he named Adams as the inside rotation. He knew that Adams' defensive ability was like a solid line of defense that could provide strong protection for the team. On the training ground, Uduka constantly guided Adams to help him recover and improve his technical level. Adams did not disappoint the trust of his coach and the team. He trained in high-intensity every day, just like an indefatigable warrior, sweating on the training ground.

In this round of the series, Adams averaged 21.5 minutes per game and scored 6.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.3 blocks. His shooting percentage is as high as 68.8%, and his blocks are the most blocked on the Rockets. His performance on the court is like a tireless machine, constantly contributing to the team. His defense made the Warriors' offense difficult; his rebounding provided the team with more second-offensive opportunities.

Adams' contract is 25 million for two years signed with the Grizzlies in the summer of 2023, and his salary this season is only 12.6 million. He proved his value with his practical actions, just like a buried gem, finally shining with dazzling light at the right time. His performance not only won the trust of his teammates and coaches, but also won the love and support of his fans.

The victory of this game is of great significance to the Rockets. It not only gave the team an advantage in the series, but also greatly improved the team's morale. Adams' performance was like a key, opening the door to victory for the team. His defense and rebounding became the key factor in the team's victory.

After the game, every move of Adams was filled with strength and passion. His strong attack at the basket was like an angry bull, unstoppable; his defense was like a solid wall that prevented the opponent from breaking through. Every time he blocked the shot, it was like a bolt of lightning, instantly shattering the opponent's attack. Every steal of his hand was like a sharp sword, piercing his opponent's heart.

In addition to Adams' own efforts, the Rockets' tactical arrangements also played a crucial role. Coach Uduka has formulated a special tactical system based on Adams' characteristics. He allowed Adams to focus on defense and rebounding to get the most out of his strengths. At the same time, he also let other players attack around Adams to create more opportunities for him. This tactical arrangement is like a carefully planned battle, allowing the Rockets to take the initiative in the game.

At the scene of the game, the cheers and shouts of fans came one after another. They cheered for every wonderful performance of Adams and were excited for every score of the team. The entire stadium is like a sea of ​​joy, full of passion and vitality. The support of fans is like a powerful force, inspiring Adams and the Rockets players to keep moving forward.

Some netizens said, "Adams' performance reminds me of Yao Ming back then, and he is also the team's defensive core."
