From +16 to -10: How to use the "X factor" to approach the tiebreak of the series?

The Warriors who hold the match point must fight quickly and decide quickly. The more they drag the ball, the more unfavorable they will be. The Rockets must make good use of their youthful and energetic advantages to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, and drag the series into the tiebreak battle to compete!

For the Rockets who are behind 1-3, every game is a "life-and-death battle", and the victory in every game is extremely difficult. Although the Rockets locked the victory in the first half of the fifth game and scored the game into garbage time in the third quarter, the Warriors who returned to the Bay Area will definitely have a competitive state of four championships in ten years, and the Rockets must also show the "strongest dark horse" posture to have the power to fight. So far in the

series, Shin Kyung averaged 20.8 points, 11 rebounds, 5.2 assists per game, plus 1.8 steals, and averaged 15.2 points per game, ranking third in the league, and scored more than 15 points in each game. In the past five games, although Green's shooting percentage: 38.8% + 33.3% was slightly sluggish, he had very important tactical significance. Once it broke out (38 points), it would be enough for the Warriors to have a pot of it.

Compared with Shin Kyung and Green, Amen and Dillon have a huge role. They not only assumed the heavy responsibility of "locking down" Curry, but also shared the pressure on the offensive end (in the fifth game, the two scored 49 points together). Of course, Van Vreet is undoubtedly the X factor. In the last two games, his score exceeded 25 points, and his shooting percentage was astonishing (61.5% + 66.7% (12 three-pointers were hit in two games).

The Rockets series have both average shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage in the league. The most important thing is that the average offensive rebounds per game (13.8) is the first in the league, and the fourth in the league by making mistakes (17.2 points). The Rockets want to drag the series into the tiebreak, rebounding is still the top priority (the advantage of rebounding is gradually weakened by the Warriors by +16, +14, +6, +7, -10).

Let's take a look at the Warriors again. The Warriors are only one step away from "Black Seven". To date, the Warriors are able to lead in the number of winning games, and the three-pointer is still the key to winning (game). All hit 15 three-pointers, second in the league). Curry averaged 23.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists per game in five games, with a shooting percentage: 48.8% + 39.6% (3.8 three-pointers per game). For a 37-year-old veteran, this data is worthy of the name of "MVP". You know, Curry has encountered "targeting" in every game. Butler played in four games, averaging 15.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists per game, and his shooting percentage is also average.

The reason why the Swords leads the Rockets is a very important part of the championship. In other words, it is the emergence of "Shocks". Boger has performed 26+5+5 in a single game. Payton Jr. and Hilder have also provided firepower support. The Warriors have averaged five points per game in double digits, and the three have averaged more than 8 points per game.

If the Warriors want to quickly fight and complete the "Black Seven", the most important part is how to get Curry out of the "targeting" of the Rockets. Curry's shooting percentage is lower than 40% in the two games lost.
