Rockets Warriors tiebreak, three good news appeared before the game, Curry made up his mind

On May 4, 2025, with the end of the tiebreak between the Clippers and the Nuggets, the tiebreak between the Rockets and the Warriors officially began. Rockets coach Uduka led young players such as Jaylen Green and Shin Jing and Van Vritte, who was still in his peak period, to fight against the Warriors, and scored two games in a row with a tough defensive style, tied with the Warriors. The Warriors currently have three veterans in the team. They are very old but have a lot of experience and have seen many big scenes. Warriors coach Cole is full of confidence before the game and said that the old generation of players will not be defeated so easily, and the new generation of players is not strong enough.

3 good news appeared before the game:

1. Cole changed the formation. Warriors head coach Kerr clearly wants to use Kumingga to play with Kumingga's talent. Kumingga's presence obviously gave the Warriors an extra point to hold the ball, liberating Curry. Even Zhu Meng Green has always emphasized that he hopes that his little brother Kuminga will make his debut soon and he will definitely help the Warriors. At the same time, Kohl still has to focus on the offensive system and send Podjemsky back to the starting lineup. The change of the team in the sixth game annoyed Cohl. He attached too much importance to defense but lost the offense. The key is that he still couldn't defend the inside Adams, so he weighed it over and over again and chose the offensive system. In addition, we will pay attention to the inside rotation lineup, increase the inside playing time such as Rooney, and avoid making the mistakes in the sixth game again. This is also a problem with Curry's reaction with Cole after the game. In the seventh game, the Warriors have to attack and defend inside, which will become different.

2. The Warriors played as a substitute. The Warriors' inside player Post can protect the frame and make three-pointers. Payton Jr. defends actively and specializes in defending against the Rockets' vanguards, which has good results. Hilder is also a defensive player who can limit players such as Jaylen Green, Amen Thompson, etc. from the outside. In the sixth game, the Warriors performed extraordinary in the substitute lineup, but they didn't make some three-pointers, and they couldn't count on them at critical moments, so Curry was double-teamed and no one could stand up. In the seventh game, the Warriors' substitute lineup only needs to score some points, do the work that role players should do, play the rotation time well, and give the Warriors' main players the physical fitness and fighting spirit at the decisive moment, which is the greatest help. These requirements are actually not difficult for the Warriors' substitute lineup.

3. Curry made up his mind. Curry doesn't make a statement easily, but once he makes a statement, he will play with the determination to kill his opponent. Curry said bluntly before the game that he didn't have much time left for himself, and he had to leave some meaning at the end of his career. Obviously, Curry is going to prepare for the seventh game. Curry is 37 years old and his physical function has declined, but his mental willpower remains unabated. He will play a longer game for victory. It is still normal for Curry to play more than 30 minutes per game in the playoffs. The team cannot live without Curry, so Curry is present most of the time, and the seventh game is a critical battle. Curry made up his mind, which means he is ready to play for more than 40 minutes.

In short, the Rockets and the Warriors are about to start, and the winners of both sides are attracting much attention. Curry represents the final glory of the league's top superstars, and Curry wants to compete with a new generation of young players to track the league's championship. Now Durant, Harden, Leonard and other superstars have left the playoffs, and only Curry is still shining. The young players of the Timberwolves, Thunder, Celtics, Nuggets, and Rockets are all ready to take off their opponents and take the throne. In the seventh game, the Warriors have many advantages and need to be executed by the Warriors.
