Win 7, enter the semi-finals, Curry Butler descends to earth, Warriors Rockets

All the first round of the US Basketball League have been completed and entered the second round of the series, which is the quarter-half-finals.

Let’s first review the matchup situation in the first round of the series.

The first half of the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-0 Heat, Pacers 4-1 Bucks, Knicks 4-2 Pistons, and Celtics 4-1 Magic.

The second half of the zone, Oklahoma City Thunder 4-0 Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets 4-3 Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers 1-4 Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets 3-4 Golden State Warriors.

The eight teams that advanced to the quarter-finals are the Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Golden State Warriors.

At this point, the second round of the series has begun.

Among these eight teams, the Warriors are the last team to enter the next stage of the showdown. In the match against the Rockets, they reached a tiebreak battle.

On the fifth day of this month, in the first round of the G7 of the U.S. Basketball Team knockout, the Houston Rockets faced the Golden State Warriors at home, with a final victory, from the first three to one to three.

The Golden State Warriors have a high probability of playing themselves out of their way.

Buddy Hilder became a surprise player in the team today, with 6-pointers in the half, scored 22 points.

As the key player of the team, Stephen Curry was very sluggish in the first half and felt bad. He shot seven times, scored only one, and only scored three points.

Even if the Golden State Warriors led by 12 points in the first half, this does not mean that the Golden State Warriors can successfully win this duel.

Because the Golden State Warriors did not enter their own rhythm at all in the first half, and once they entered the second half, they still did not have their own rhythm, which was very difficult to play.

The Golden State Warriors were all behind in scoring around the three-second zone on the basketball court, and their shortcomings were very obvious.

Although Buddy Hilde is a surprise weapon, the most lacking of this is stability, and there is a high chance of getting a big splash in the second half.

So, it is still necessary to stand up and ensure the stability of the team.

When we came to the third quarter again, Amen Thompson pushed Butler away, scored with a fingertip and scored first.

Green gave Buddy Hilde a pass, but unfortunately the latter's three-point shot was short this time.

Then Podjemsky seized the opportunity and rushed forward and dunked.

Green fouled and sent Alperen Shinkyung to one serve, and both serves were hit.

After the third quarter, the Golden State Warriors men's basketball team was 70 to 62, and the Houston Rockets men's basketball team was eight points ahead into the final quarter.

Judging from the first three quarters, many people think that Amen Thompson's physical condition is higher than everyone on the field, and he is completely leading the way out.

The Golden State Warriors no matter who defends, they just can't defend. Buddy Hilder in the second half was indeed very bad. He encountered the Houston Rockets' strict defense and did not completely grasp it with only one move.

It still depends on the performance of Meng Shen and Butler.

Coming to the final quarter, Stephen Curry scored five points in a row, Golden State Warriors led by 13 points, and Amen Thompson was replaced due to injury.

Jaylen, Alperen Shinkyung, and Dillon Brooks scored consecutively, while Curry broke through on both sides and responded with layups.

Body Hield hit the seventh three-pointer, and the Golden State Warriors men's basketball team led 12 points again.

Dillon Brooks scored four points in a row, but Alperen Shinkin missed a low-post back-attack, VanVleet made a mistake in passing, Butler scored consecutively against the counterattack, plus a mid-range shot.

Butler scored six points in person, and the Golden State Warriors led by fourteen points in the last three minutes.

In the end, the match ended, the Golden State Warriors led by 14 points, won the G7 by 103 to 89, and successfully entered the second round of the series.

The Golden State Warriors had 3 people performing with full marks.

First of all, Buddy Hilde is definitely one of his greatest merits.

Because when he was in a downturn, the dual-core had no support points at all, but he could score continuously in this duel, especially when he got opportunities, and he could dominate the situation.

scored 12 of 15 out of 15 and scored 33 points.

He proved that he could stand up in an important battle, which was enough.

Secondly, Meng Shen and Jimmy Butler performed very well.

Stephen Curry can still maintain a good state when he comes to important time, with the whole showdown forty-five minutes, plus the return of vitality at the last moment.

performed well on both ends of the offense and defense, and scored 14 points in the last quarter, with a full name of 22 points, ten rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks. The offensive and defensive performance is perfect.

And Jimmy Butler made seven of thirteen shots, with 20 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.

He can maintain his strong defense at critical times and rely on his personal ability to force offense and score, becoming the basic balance of the Golden State Warriors.

, forty-five minutes of the game became a stable point among the Golden State Warriors..

So what is the reason why the Houston Rockets lost the tiebreak?

First, from the perspective of data, the Houston Rockets men's basketball team's advantages are still defense, rebounds and scores around the three-second zone on the basketball court.

But the disadvantage is still header percentage and three-point shooting percentage.

To be honest, this is the epitome of the "Fire War" knockout round. The former has very good defense and rebounds, which has obtained a lot of shots, but has not converted these advantages into scores.

Second, the players' performance can be seen. Due to the playing style of impacting the inside, Amen Thompson and Van Jordan performed well today, but the entire team's outside projection effect was average.

And, Alperen Shinkin beat too softly, Jaylen Green once again fell into a downturn, and Dillon Brooks, Smith and others felt extremely poor, and the attack was too heavy on the inside and the outside.

Third, from a tactical perspective, the Rockets coach's offensive tactics are very single. No matter who gets the ball, the mission of the whole game is to hit the inside line as the main purpose.

mainly plays singles by Alperen Shinkyung and Amen Thompson.

The benefits of doing this are sorted out using the advantages of two assault points, but the results achieved are very average.

Although the offensive efficiency is higher than that of outside projection, the damage it brings to the Golden State Warriors is limited.

Because this tactic cannot make a wave of flow at all, especially when the score is behind, this kind of playing method that sticks to the inside is of no use in other aspects except for the accidents that can consume more physical strength.

The Houston Rockets players have played hard enough, and Amen Thompson has also been frustrated, but the lack of offensive tactics has led to the poor effect.

The Golden State Warriors were able to win the G7 mainly because Curry, Butler and others were all in the online state. The Rockets exposed too many shortcomings, which eventually led to failure to enter the quarter-quarter finals.

Warriors coach Cole probably laughed out loud when he saw the players performing like this.

Next, the Golden State Warriors will face the Timberwolves who defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, and the G1 in the second round of the series will face the Golden State Warriors at home.

At that time, the competition will start on the seventh of this month. Then let us see which of these two teams will have a good start.
