Warriors magic weapon from the sky! Rockets were suppressed by robbing 7, Amen performed perfectly, but the main force of 3 was too big to cross

On May 5, 2025, the NBA playoffs were in full swing, and the Rockets returned to their home court to face the Golden State Warriors, and the two teams will start a tiebreak battle. In the first six games, the Rockets tied the score 3:3. Coach Uduka used the three-tower lineups of Adams, Shinkyung and Jabarri Smith to jointly defend, which was an obstacle that the Warriors could not solve. In addition, Van Vreet averaged 26 points per game and made 6 three-pointers, making the Warriors dizzy. If these two strong points cannot be solved in this game, it will be very difficult for the Warriors to win away. Faced with this game where they will go home if they lose, neither side dares to take it lightly, and the two teams will be difficult to solve.

Hilde made a three-pointer and the Warriors took the lead 20:19. In the last attack in the first quarter, Hilder made a large three-pointer, and the Warriors ended the first quarter 23:19.

At this time, he had already scored the 13th point of the game, and the Warriors led by 6 points 30:24.

After hitting three-pointers in a row, the Rockets were already 12 points behind at 1 minute and 39 seconds. But then Zhu Meng Green hit Van Jordan. After the referee reviewed the video, he called Zhu Meng Green for a technical foul, and the Rockets got a chance to get one free throw.

1 minute and 20 seconds, Hilde hit a three-pointer again, and the Warriors led by 14 points 48:34. Then Amen Thompson struggled to hold on, and at 33.3 seconds, Curry finally made the first three-pointer in the game. The Warriors still led by 14 points at 51:37, and Van Jordan was blocked for the last shot, and the half ended.

After the half-time game, the Rockets' core players performed poorly, only Amen Thompson made 5 of 8 shots and contributed 12 points and 4 rebounds. Shen Jing made 4 of 10 shots, with only 8 points and 8 rebounds. Van Jordan made 3 of 8 shots, scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, which is quite reasonable. Dillon made 1 of 5 shots, with only 2 points and 2 rebounds, while Green was in a sluggish state, scoring only 2 points and 2 rebounds. Adams played for 15 minutes on the bench, contributing 3 points and 5 rebounds. Yin Sen made 1 of 5 shots, only 3 points and 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Smith made 0 of 2 shots, but did not score a single point, and only 4 rebounds.

The Warriors' Curry's shooting feel is average, making 1 of 7 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, inefficiently scored 3 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Butler contributed 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, but the role players have outstanding performance, especially Buddy Hilder, who played for 16 minutes in the half, made 8 of 9 shots, made 6 of 7 three-pointers, and contributed 22 points and 1 assist. He is a key figure in the Warriors leading the Rockets in the first half. Perhaps the Warriors gave him a contract for this key battle, and he lives up to his mission. Zhu Meng also scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Although the bench didn't contribute much, the Warriors still firmly had the advantage.

2, in the first half, only Amen performed well, Van Jordan, Shin Kyung and Adams barely passed the performance, and the other 4 were too sluggish.

Amen Thompson carried the Rockets' offense on his shoulders in this game. When the main player did not perform well, he forced the inside to kill again and again to help the Rockets keep the score close. He still spared no effort to defend Curry on the defensive end, and he made a lot of money by letting Curry make 1 of 7 shots in the first half. It can be said that Amen Thompson is a Rockets player with both offense and defense.

Van Jordan lost his courage in the first three games today, and his shooting from outside the three-point line today was also very average. The Rockets need him to stand up, otherwise they will fall into a passive position.

Shen Jing played lukewarmly in the inside and barely passed the exam. He made 4 of 10 shots in the half, and his efficiency was not high. Fortunately, he was still comprehensive, but today his organizational ability was not displayed.

Veteran Adams has a poor offensive feel in the half, but his defense and rebounding in the inside are still quite good, completely worthy of the opportunity given to coach Uduka.

Jaylen Green had another downturn, and when everyone was counting on him to break out again in the tiebreak, he was invisible again. If he can't come up with an effective scoring method to deal with the Warriors' outside, the Rockets will be very dangerous.

Dilon Brooks was lost again on both offense and defense, especially on the offensive end. As a veteran with a 20 million contract, he only had 2 points in the half, which is really unreasonable.

Yin Sen performed poorly in the first half, his shooting feel was quite bad, and he failed to score many times, and only made one three-pointer.

Jabary Smith was completely lost in this critical battle. As a young player, he still has a lot to learn.

The Warriors rely on Curry's "Cury is gravity", although their shooting feel is not good, they have created more shooting opportunities for role players. All the five starting points in this game were scored by three points, Hilder scored 6 three-pointers by himself, and Zhu Meng Green also made 2 three-pointers. Curry's team role is quite significant. The Warriors scored 11 three-pointers in the first half, while the Rockets only had two, which is the key to their big lead. The Rockets' three-tower lineup has a good joint defense effect when defending and has obvious advantages in rebounding, but its offensive performance is too poor.
