A 14-point victory! It quietly became a popular champion, no one is optimistic about you, but you are going to win the championship
Have you ever thought about how a team that has been criticized by everyone to the dust can achieve a miracle of 14-point victory in the playoffs? The Warriors' operation, the tiebreak battle against the Rockets, was simply a slap in the face of those "experts". To be honest, when I watched this game, I felt both excited and a little confused - is this the seventh-ranked warrior in the West and said to be the "old, weak, sick and disabled"? To put it bluntly, I admire and curious about their performance. Why did they suddenly burst out with such strong combat power? Let’s not be prejudiced, just talk about their counterattack stories and see what “secret weapons” these guys are hiding.
Let's first talk about the historical "genes" of the Warriors. If you taste it carefully, it is not the first time they have turned the tables in a desperate situation. Do you still remember the sixth game of the 2016 Western Conference Finals? At the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, against the Thunder, Thompson directly turned into "Buddha" in that game, with 11 three-pointers and 41 points, especially 19 points in the fourth quarter, and forced the Warriors back from the cliff, forced the tiebreak and finally advanced to the finals. I was watching the live broadcast at that time. The Thunder home fans were all stupid. The whole stadium was as quiet as death. Thompson's words after the game, "I knew we wouldn't lose" were so domineering that I got goosebumps. This unyielding spirit is simply the "label" of the Warriors, don't you?
Let's talk about the boss behind the scenes Cole. This guy's tactical adjustment is, hey, it's simply "magic". In the fourth game of the 2019 Western Conference Finals, at the Portland Moda Center, the Warriors were once 17 points behind the Trail Blazers and were about to be swept out. As a result, Cole directly used the ultimate move and activated the five-small lineup with Draymond Green as the core to speed up and strengthen the outside shooting, and finally reversed and won 119-117. I remember that the Trail Blazers coach was confused at that time and could not keep up with the pace at all. This time, Kerr played a new trick against the Rockets. He pushed the ball quickly on the offensive end and directly hit the Rockets' inside. To be honest, Cole was called "stubborn" in the regular season, but in the playoffs, his mind turned faster than anyone else, and the contrast was so big that I wanted to applaud him.
Speaking of players, the Warriors are really "expressing their magical powers." Let’s talk about Hilde first, and fight against the Rockets in the tiebreak, this guy was possessed by a "nervous knife", with 9 three-pointers, scoring 33 points, shooting the Rockets all over the ground for teeth. He was also criticized for being a "parallel" in the regular season, but he stood up at a critical moment and fought to the end. Who doesn't like to watch this reversal plot? Let’s look at Wiggins. In the sixth game of the 2022 Finals, he fought against the Celtics at the TD Garden Arena in Boston, with 18 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks, helping the Warriors win the championship 103-90. He snatched Tatum from the defensive end, and his shooting percentage dropped by 10 percentage points. From "Goodberry Mamba" to a tough guy, I was so excited about this change.
and Curry, in the 2018 Western Conference Finals tiebreak, against the Rockets at the Houston Toyota Center, 27 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists, and scored 12 points in the third quarter, leading the Warriors to reverse 101-92 to advance to the finals. After the game, he said "Thank you for your teammates". Who can not be moved by this low-key and heartwarming attitude? To be honest, I can be the protagonist of any of the performances of these three people. I am really convinced of their explosive power.
The Warriors can have this energy, and they cannot do without the "war and unity" in the locker room. Butler's toughness was like a rock, stabilizing the morale of the entire team. Before the tiebreak, he patted the young player on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, just do it." This scene was ignited when I thought about it. Zhu Meng Green is even more "mouthed". In the fifth game of the 2016 Finals, he was suspended for conflict at the Cleveland Speed Loan Arena, but he was not idle off the court. He crazyly motivated his teammates through social media and locker room speeches, and averaged 16.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game. Once he shouted directly, "You are the champions, don't let anyone beat us!" As soon as he spoke, his teammates' morale was instantly full.
And Curry, as the soul of the team, the spirit of never giving up is simply the Warriors' "stabilizing needle". I remember one time when he fell behind 20 points in the game, he gritted his teeth and shot one by one in three points, and he just recovered the score. To be honest, seeing these people united, I felt so warm in my heart. Compared with those teams that rely solely on fighting alone, the Warriors' unity is really not something to behold.
Finally, let's talk about the future. The Warriors' counterattack has gone from seventh in the West to popular in the championship. There is still a long way to go. Paul's hidden dangers and Thompson's roller coaster are all big obstacles in front of you. But no matter what, they have proved that they are not "soft persimmons". I personally think that the Warriors' unyielding spirit of losing can really create another miracle. Let's wait and see what big work they can do!
