The average plus or negative value per game is -7. When the outside gate is on the court, the Warriors are almost completely defeated by the Rockets.

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors 131-116. After this game, the Rockets tied the total score of the series to 2-3. Next, both sides will return to the Warriors to prepare for the G6 series at home. It seems that this round of series still has suspense.

In this game, the Warriors' substitute outside gate Gary Payton II performed very badly. Payton Jr. played 10 minutes and 30 seconds in the game, made 3 of 6 shots, 2 of 5 shots outside the three-point line, scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, and had 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -9. Payton Jr.'s performance on the offensive end is actually pretty good. He also showed his comprehensive scoring ability. His feel outside the three-point line also looks good, and he even showed a certain passing ability. Payton's performance on the offensive end can be said to have far exceeded everyone's expectations and expectations for him. However, the problem is that as a defensive gate, Payton's performance on the defensive end did not meet expectations at all. He seemed to have a positive defensive attitude, but in fact it did not have a good effect. Payton Jr. doesn't have much time on the court, but the situation on the team is also very unsatisfactory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Payton Jr. made a total of 62 appearances in 82 games, averaging 15 minutes of playing time, averaging 6.5 points, 3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 57.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 32.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 71.1%. So far in the playoffs, Payton Jr. has averaged 15.2 minutes of playing time in the first four games, with averaging 6.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals, 0.4 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 51.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 45.5%.

Peton Jr.'s performance in these playoffs is actually completely unsatisfactory. It seems that he has shown good scoring ability in some games and has provided a lot of support for the team on the offensive end. However, from the actual situation, Payton Jr.'s effect on the court is simply a mess. Payton Jr.'s average plus or negative value is -7. Considering that he doesn't play much time and the Warriors are currently leading the big score, this directly shows that Payton Jr. basically digs holes for the team on the court.

It is undeniable that Payton Jr. is indeed a player with excellent personal defense skills, but the Rockets team is tall, athletic and talented. Payton Jr. is constrained by his scoring ability and has to appear on the front line. Such an arrangement can be said to have directly led to various targets by his opponents when he is on the court. I don’t know how the Warriors will adjust this position next. In fact, at least in this round of series, Payton Jr. is not suitable for appearing in the rotation lineup. Even if he can occasionally perform well, most of the time, he is completely causing trouble for the team when he is on the court.
