May 5th, in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Warriors defeated the Rockets 103-89 and advanced 4-3.

Ji Mengnian, a reporter from Sports Weekly, commented as follows:

The Rockets won 11 frontcourt rebounds, with 12 more chances to go to the free throw line than the Warriors. But at home, they ended up scoring less than 90 points.

The Warriors are too experienced and have firmly grasped the situation from the first minute of the game, and are not in a hurry no matter what the situation is. On the other hand, the Rockets still showed their immature side in such a game, especially when Van Vleet's condition fluctuates, others can't make up for it.

In the whole game, the Rockets only made 6 three-pointers, while the Warriors made 18 three-pointers. The two sides were only 36 points away from the three-point line. How extreme is the Rockets in other places to make up for this gap?

So, why can the Warriors still make such a three-pointer in the tiebreak? The reason is very simple, because "the library has gravity"! Even though Curry only had 3 points in the first half, he only had 22 points in the whole game. But Curry is an absolute threat on the court, and the Rockets must use pinch attacks to deal with him.

In fact, Curry is very happy to be attacked at this stage of the series. What does it matter if the data is not good? For a true superstar, nothing can surpass victory. When Curry makes shots again and again, his teammates can hit those weak three-pointers, the Rockets' defense comes at a price. This situation has not been the first time in the past few years.

Although we all know that "pigeon" is not a good word, Curry does have an idol temperament. Nowadays, in addition to his idol temperament, his "winner" temperament is becoming more and more intense, and maturity has become the deepest charm of Curry.

In the whole game, Curry played for 46 minutes, made 8 of 16 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and contributed 22 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the game.
