How to deal with the Rockets in the tiebreak? Su Qun reveals the secret, Green is full of confidence in chasing dreams

The Rockets did it!

In the absence of many people, they defeated the Warriors 115-107 away, successfully tied the total score of the series 3-3.

This is interesting. The series that I thought the Warriors could easily advance was now dragged into the tiebreak battle. Moreover, the Rockets also have a home advantage. These two consecutive wins have injected a booster into them and they are full of confidence!

To be honest, after watching Game 6, I really looked at the Rockets with admiration. They completely gave up their strategy of fighting psychological warfare with the Warriors and focused on the field. VanVleet was simply too powerful, scoring 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in 39 minutes, and making 6 of 9 three-pointers and making a very high shooting percentage. This is his third consecutive game of scoring more than 20, and he is definitely the backbone of the Rockets' outside.

And on the Warriors' side, Curry is still trying his best. With 41 minutes of playing time, he contributed comprehensive data of 29 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. But the problem lies with Hilder, who only scored 0 points in 16 minutes and did not even make an open shot. To be honest, is this performance worthy of his contract? I can only expect him to perform in the tiebreak battle.

Rockets' winning magic weapon: joint defense

Warriors have been unable to crack the Rockets' three high-level joint defense, which is the main reason for their loss.

After the game, Teacher Su Qun made a wonderful comment on this game: "Hehe, the Rockets and the Warriors played 3-3. The Warriors could not break the Rockets' three high-level defense and kept using their brains to cut Adams. It should have broken the record of the number of times of killing, because Udoka insisted on not changing. The tie-even looks good."

A fan asked Su Qun in the comment area how the Rockets should deal with the tie-evening battle. The answer given by Su Qun is very simple: continue to use joint defense.

The Rockets have a tall lineup, and the Warriors will inevitably be disturbed when they break through with the ball. After the Rockets played a joint defense, the Warriors could only rely on three-pointers from the outside. So the key to tiebreak depends on whether the Warriors' three-pointer is accurate. As long as the Rockets protect their rebounds, they still have to play.

This analysis is quite accurate. The Rockets have an absolute advantage in height. If they continue to use joint defense to limit the Warriors' breakthroughs and make them only rely on outside shooting, the outcome depends on how the Warriors feel that day. When the Rockets are fighting at home, the audience's cheers will definitely affect the Warriors' feel.

Green is full of confidence, but reality is very skinny

Although he lost the sixth game, Zhu Meng Green is still full of confidence in tiebreak. He said after the game: "It's a bit frustrating... It's a seven-game four-win series. We know we can win the game away."

To be honest, Green sounds a bit like cheering himself up.

Because the facts are right in front of you: If the Warriors cannot crack the Rockets' joint defense, it will be very difficult for them to advance below the away game. Moreover, Green himself performed poorly in Game 6, with only 10 points and 4 rebounds, which is far lower than his playoff average.

What are the decisive factors?

Looking back at the entire series, the Rockets and Warriors' competition is actually very interesting. In the first two games, the Rockets scored two consecutive games at home, making the Warriors unable to fight back. But then the Warriors also won two consecutive games at home to tie the score. In the fifth game, the Warriors continued to win, and they were about to eliminate the Rockets. As a result, the Rockets won a away game in the sixth game and dragged the series into tiebreak.

This trend is really dramatic!

In my opinion, there are several decisive factors in the tiebreak battle:

First of all, whether the Rockets' joint defense can continue to play a role. Judging from the first six games, it is indeed difficult for the Warriors to crack this defensive system.

followed by whether the Warriors' three-pointer can recover. Especially Hilde, if he can get back to form, the Warriors' chances of winning will increase greatly.

The third is whether VanVleet can continue to perform efficiently. He has scored 20+ in three consecutive games. If he can still maintain this state in tiebreak, the Rockets have a great chance of winning.

Finally, there is home advantage. The Rockets return to home court and the cheers from fans will give them extra motivation.

Who do you think can win?

Rockets vs. Warriors' tiebreak battle, which team do you think can advance to the next round?

I personally prefer the Rockets, after all, they have a home advantage and have been in good shape in the last two games. However, basketball games are full of variables, and the Warriors may be able to break out on the road and make a comeback to advance.

In any case, this tiebreak battle will definitely be exciting and worthy of all fans' expectations!
