The Warriors won the game but were embarrassed. They refused to have an annual salary of 30 million yuan, but now they have no value.

At the Toyota Center, the Warriors completely extinguished the Rockets' arrogance of counterattack with the three-pointer rain that Curry and Hilder jointly formed in the final quarter, thus winning the key tiebreak life and death battle away, fulfilling Curry's promise to go to Minnesota to prepare for the next round after playing this game. The Warriors were very happy to win this critical battle. After all, Cole's unbeaten golden body in the first round of his coaching career was saved, Hilder set a new high in his playoff career, and the combination of Curry and Butler proved himself. The only one person who seemed so out of place with this victory was Jonathan Kumingga.

Kuminga's depression did not come from G7. In this round of the series, he played for more than 50 minutes, which is a very marginal character. Kumingjia had long complained about this, and even complained to reporters in an interview: "Everyone told me to be prepared, I am really tired of saying this." On the one hand, it was a taboo to directly disclose the situation in the locker room. On the other hand, Kumingga has also started and played for more than 20 minutes. Coach Cole obviously made the decision to DNP after careful consideration, but Ku himself doesn't think so.

Just when everyone thought Kumingga was going to sit on the bench, news came before the tiebreak battle that Payton was absent due to illness. Many people realized that this was probably the last chance for Kumingga to pursue a big contract this summer. Kerr made psychological construction for Xiao Ku before the game. He let him go early without long before the game, and he really gave him enough chance. As a result, Kumingga failed to make a shot, so he was shorted, greatly increasing Curry's pressure to hold the ball, forcing Butler to give up the ball, and the defensive end could not replace Payton's role. After an inexplicable pass mistake, Cole's patience was exhausted - he liked to do scientific research, such as Cole, and knew that this game was not careless, but Kumingga seemed to be unaware of it and acted in a daze.

Fortunately, the Warriors finally chewed this tough trick, but unfortunately they had nothing to do with Kumingga. He played for 7 minutes and 21 seconds, made 0 of 4 sports games, failed to score a single point and only gained 1 rebound and 1 steal, but made 1 low-level mistake. The plus-minus value is embarrassing -4, and he is the only Warriors player who plays with a positive and negative value of negative. Xiao Ku's performance on the court was so incompatible with the Warriors' passing and cutting system that he would stagnate whenever the ball was transferred to his hands, which made people helpless.

Last offseason, Kumingga proudly rejected the Warriors' five-year, $150 million early contract renewal invitation. He and his agent team firmly believe that with this talent of flying and escaping the sky, the maximum salary is the answer he should pursue. However, Kumingga once again experienced hard training during the offseason and had a lot of results. She was in poor condition at the beginning of the season, rebounded in the middle of the season, and faded out of the rotation in the final stage, and was completely revealed in the playoffs. It can be said that Kumingga, who has been playing in the league for four years, has completely lost his value. His understanding of the game and his performance in high-end games all reflect the fact that he is not a maximum-paid player. This summer, he may not be able to win even an annual salary of 30 million US dollars.
