Looking at the soup god in adversity, the light of the Buddha shone again, and in the life-and-death contest between ice and fire, the warrior had the last laugh.
The 10th Warriors in the West, away to challenge the 11th Rockets in the West, which have been in good form recently, are the key card battles for the 10th in the West. Under the leadership of Klay, the Warriors maintained a fiery offensive touch from the first quarter, suppressed the Rockets with extreme offense and defense, and rich experience, and finally defeated the Rockets 133-110 and won six consecutive victories.
1. In adversity, look at the soup god Buddha light Pudu warriors
In this game, the Warriors Kuminga continued to be injured, and the top pitcher Curry was the focus of the Rockets.
Since Clay played as a substitute, the biggest change is to recognize the reality that his peak has passed, and adjust his once proud and anxious mentality. Klay, who has overcome his demons, has smarter offensive options, more reasonable off-ball running, softer shooting posture, and his 3-point shooting percentage and offensive efficiency are gradually rising.
Such Klay lived up to expectations, far exceeded expectations, and played the best game of the season against the Rockets. In the first 6 minutes of the first quarter, he made 3 of 4 3-pointers and scored 11 points to lead the team to stop the Rockets 19:6. And now Klay is very smart offensively, not limited to 3-point shooting in the offense, and his personal mid-range and low-post singles are also very efficient.
In the second quarter, the hand was still hot, and the offense was very patient, facing the Rockets' strongest defender, Smith Jr., through the team's blocking tactics and his own off-ball running, facing the switcher, scoring the iconic 3 points, and scoring 21 points in the first half.
At the same time, he is very selfless and team in attack now, and will use his containment power to provide excellent assists to his teammates in attack.
Clayburne played 29 minutes, shooting 11-of-15 from the field, 7-of-11 from three-point range, and finishing with 29 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
2. Unite as one, and the veteran will lead the warrior to victory
Curry was guarded by the Rockets' strict defense in this game, and the 3-point shooting efficiency was average, but Curry used his basket breakthrough speed and skills to face a group of young defenders of the Rockets, and he was able to get into the restricted area like a bag, shooting 7 of 8 in the 3-point line, and breaking through the physical state of the singles with various dribbles, as if his youth had returned. Played 30 minutes in this game, shot 9 of 14, 2 of 6 3-pointers, and scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
Also dreaming of youth is Green. The offense of the Splash Brothers was smooth in this game, Green focused on defense, rebounding, and this game against the Rockets villain Dillon, the old Green grabbed the rebound in the front court with his physical advantage, and roared angrily, suppressing Dillon's arrogance, and Dillon only scored 8 points in this game. Played 29 minutes in this game, made 2 of 3 shots, scored 5 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
Wiggins led Jalen Green very well, allowing Green to score just 13 points and have four turnovers. Got 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Davis, a young center, became the king of cakes after entering the starter, and the offense was very efficient in all kinds of air catches, blocking, and dismantling, and he scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 hat in this game, and was the biggest wonder soldier.
After the Warriors won this game, the Rockets completely lost the suspense of the play-off competition, and the Warriors were firmly in 10th place, waiting for the arrival of the play-off opponents.
Although the Rockets failed miserably, the rapid growth of Shen Jing, Jalen Green, Smith Jr., and Thompson this season should not be underestimated. All the past is a prologue, and the future of the Rockets next season is promising.
