7:37am, 12 May 2025【Basketball】
The highly anticipated tiebreak battle between the Rockets and the Warriors has also come to an end, and all the first rounds of the playoffs have ended. After the Clippers lost to the Nuggets in the last game, the older generation of stars were almost about to withdraw from the stage of history, leaving only the Warriors led by Curry and Butler. And today they were still away, and the Warriors were in many difficulties, but the veterans allowed their glory to continue to shine throughout the game. The Warriors firmly suppressed the Rockets. Finally, after a fierce competition in 4 quarters, under the influence of gravity, Hilder scored 9 three-pointers, and together with Butler and Curry, he took on the Warriors' offensive and defensive burden. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Rockets 103:89. After this game, the Rockets were also tragically defeated by the Black Seven and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs 3:4. Where will the Rockets go this summer? Teacher Su Qun and Perkins also have the same views. At the same time, after the game, the Rockets will definitely have four chain reactions.
1, the game situation, the Rockets suffered from lack of superstars, and the offense was stagnant at critical moments, and it was still difficult to limit Curry and Butler to the extreme.
The Rockets performed well in the first quarter in this game, only 4 points behind at 19:23, but the Warriors made great efforts on the offensive end in the second quarter, leading the Rockets by 6 points in a single quarter. In the third quarter, the Rockets chased and scored a 14:4 offensive climax in 5 minutes and 12 seconds, chasing the score to 53:58, only 5 points behind. Then at 2 minutes and 41 seconds, with Jabbarry Smith hitting a three-pointer, the Rockets approached the Warriors again 60:63. The Warriors have not scored a single point in the past 3 minutes and 42 seconds. However, after the third quarter, the Rockets won only 4 points 23:19.
In the first 8 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Rockets were still able to keep a close eye on the score, but the situation suddenly changed at the last moment. At 3 minutes and 04 seconds, the Rockets made a mistake in serving, Curry made a three-pointer, 91:74, and the Warriors led by 17 points. Then Hilder made another three-pointer, and the Warriors scored a 12-0 offensive climax against the Rockets within 1 minute and 24 seconds. Since then, the Rockets have been out of the blue. After the final four quarters, the Rockets lost 14 points 89:103, even if Van Jordan recovered his three-point shooting feel at the last moment, it would be useless. In this game, the Rockets lost because the opponent has two core cores. Their personal abilities are quite outstanding, and they have obvious effects whether they attack or drive their teammates. Curry performed bravely. Curry played 46 minutes in the game, made 8 of 16 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, contributed 22 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Curry averaged 24 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game in the first round, with a real shooting percentage of up to 63%. Take your own ties to the extreme.
Under his leadership, Hilder played for 36 minutes, made 12 of 15 shots, and made 9 of 11 three-pointers, scoring perfect data of 33 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, becoming the number one hero for winning. Of course, Butler was no exception. He played for 44 minutes, made 7 of 13 shots, and efficiently scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Today he didn't have many free throws, with only 5 free throws and 4 of them.
2, in the end, the Warriors laughed the last time in this focus battle, and the Rockets may have four chain reactions after this game.
First of all, the Rockets will definitely sign Van Jordan next season. Van Vreet's salary this season is $42.85 million, and next season is a team option worth $44.89 million. The Rockets are expected to re-sign a smaller contract with him for many years. Van Jordan scored a net worth in the playoffs, especially in the fourth, fifth and sixth games, with a total of 18 three-pointers per game, averaging 26 points. He is the contributor to the Rockets' dragging the game into tiebreak. He had a poor shooting feel in this game. At the last moment, the overall situation was scheduled to barely make three-pointers. He played for 43 minutes, made 6 of 13 shots, made 3 of 6 three-pointers, made 2 free throws, contributing 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. He was justified. The estimated annual salary of 30 million is more in line with his value, and the Rockets also have reason to keep him. After the game, Uduka talked about VanVleet's future and said directly: "We really hope he can stay here, and I think he thinks so too."
Second, perhaps the Rockets will give up Jaylen Green. In this game, Jaylen Green played for 30 minutes, made 3 of 8 shots, including 0 of 2 three-pointers and 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 8 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, with a plus-minus value of -6. Jaylen Green has performed quite poorly this season in the playoffs. He participated in 7 games, only one game scored 38 points and performed normally, while the rest were poor. His shooting percentage is less than 40% in five consecutive games in this series. Jaylen Green's shooting percentage was only 37.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was as low as 29.5%, and his free throw shooting percentage was only 66.7%. He is likely to be traded in the offseason. Green has been trained by the Rockets for 4 years. He has not made any significant progress in both the regular season and the playoffs, and perhaps his potential has ended here. He has never been able to fulfill his talent, and the Rockets' patience with him has been exhausted. After all, the Rockets have entered the West with 52 wins this year. The Rockets, who have already entered the playoffs, urgently need superstars to improve their playoff performance. Green is not in the Rockets' future plans.
The third Rockets will definitely renew Adams because his contract is about to expire. In this series, coach Uduka used the lineup of two towers or even three towers for joint defense many times, leaving the Warriors helpless, and the Warriors used the shark-cutting tactics many times. Fortunately, Adams was able to deal with it calmly. Although he lacked offensive methods, his ability to protect the basket and grab rebounds was excellent. The Rockets had reason to keep him and Shin Kyung and continue to play in the double towers..
Shin Kyung scored 21 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists in this game, and made 9 of 23 shots. The data looked good, but his weakness on the court was further reflected in the game, and the five fouls also showed that he still has a lot of room for improvement on the defensive end.
The fourth chain reaction is that the Rockets will definitely make Amen Thompson the core of next season. Amen performed well in this game, especially in the third quarter, leading the team to chase points, fighting with leg cramps. In 37 minutes, he made 9 of 16 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 24 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. As long as Amen Thompson can practice three-pointers, he will definitely be the Rockets' well-deserved core player. This season, he has made rapid progress and his defensive end is eye-catching. On the offensive end, you only need to further polish your skills and will be full of hope in the future of the Rockets.
3, after the Rockets are eliminated, will they trade a superstar to lead the team next season? Su Qun and Perkins agree.
As we all know, the reason why the Rockets were eliminated was directly related to the fact that no player could score the ball at a critical moment. Seeing Butler and Curry scored for the Warriors continuously, the Rockets could only sigh at the ball. The Suns were eliminated early and missed the playoffs, and Durant's trade was put on the agenda, and the Rockets had a high probability of getting Durant. At the same time, the Bucks, where Antetokounmpo is located, has been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years. In addition, Lillard is reimbursed for the season, so it is very likely that he will not play next season. Antetokounmpo also has a high possibility of applying for a trade to leave the team. The Rockets can take out major players such as Green, even Jabarry Smith or Shinkin, and cooperate with multiple first-round draft picks. I believe the Bucks will be moved. Coach Su Qun also said in the game that if the Rockets are eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, they can consider introducing a superstar. Perkins tweeted after the game today and praised the Rockets. He wrote: "The Rockets performed well this season and their future is full of hope. Under the excellent leadership of coach Uduka, this young team is showing great potential. They are only one key player away from going further." It can be seen that he also supports the Rockets' trading star.
