The low-end version of Clay was woken up by Butler! He scored 9 of 11 points and scored 33 points, Cole: Offense and defense

6:36pm, 11 May 2025Basketball

On May 5, if you want to talk about the most popular NBA game today, it must be the tiebreak between the Rockets and the Warriors. This game was played at the Rockets' home court, so the outside world is not optimistic that the Warriors can win this game. After all, in the fifth and sixth games of the series, the Rockets defeated the Warriors. Relying on the three-core composed of veterans, their physical fitness will be a hidden danger. However, in this game, the Warriors' three elders played their resilience, and the Warriors defeated their opponent 103-89 and won the tiebreak victory.

Curry has been attacked by his opponents in this game, so he did not get much opportunity to take action in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, the Rockets switched to single-defense Curry, but Curry scored 14 points in a single quarter and defeated the Rockets. He made 8 of 16 shots in the game, 4 of 10 three-pointers, scored 22 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. After losing in the G6 series, Curry said he would pack his luggage for a week and go to Minnesota after playing the Rockets, but he successfully installed X.

Butler also performed very well in this game. He made 7 of 13 shots in the game, made 2 of 3 three-pointers, scored 20 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. Butler also scored 7 points and 2 assists in the last quarter. He seems to be the representative of the counterattack. Butler is the only player in history who plays Black Seven and Black Eight at the same time. His arrival has indeed made the Warriors stronger. Zhu Meng also seized the opportunity to give him empty spots many times in this game. He made 7 of 15 shots in the game, made 2 of 8 three-pointers, scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

If you want to say that the Warriors' biggest contributor to winning in this game, no one will have any controversy. He is Hilde. From the first quarter, Hilde has performed well. He made 3 of 3 in a single quarter, including a three-pointer in the half, helping the Warriors lead by 4 points after the first quarter. Heard's firepower in the second quarter remained unabated. He scored 14 points in 4 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter. Under his leadership, the Warriors established a double-digit lead. Heard hit 6 three-pointers in the whole first half, tying the playoffs' three-point record.

It is precisely because Hilde had no solution in the first half that the Rockets dared not attack Curry because it would be meaningless to continue attacking. After all, Hilde played no worse firepower than Curry. In the last quarter, Hilde still had no solution. He scored 11 points in 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, helping the team withstand the Rockets' offensive. In this game, Hilde made 12 of 15 shots, 9 of 11 three-pointers, scored 33 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Relying on his outstanding performance, Hilder also set several records. In addition to the record of three-point shooting in the half-time, he also tied the record of three-point shooting in the all-game tiebreak, and made 9 three-point shooting in a single game. At the same time, he is also the first player in the history of the playoffs to score 30+ free throws in all games. Relying on his outstanding performance, Hilder was also recognized by the coach. Kerr said after the game: Hilder not only hit those shots, but also restricted Van Jordan at the last moment. For him, this is a game with excellent offense and defense.

In fact, after G2, Hild's performance improved, and the reason why he was able to make changes was because of Butler's criticism of him. In the early stage of this round of series, Butler was dissatisfied with Hild's dribble many times, and even faced the media that he was annoyed when he saw Hild's dribble. During Butler's injury and absence, Hild proved himself well. He scored 15 points in one game and 17 points in the other game relying on his outstanding performance to help the team achieve a 3-1 lead.

Although Hilde did not perform well in the past two games, the main problem may not be him, but Cole did not give him too much playing time. G5 Hield only got 17 minutes in the series and G6 played 15 minutes. These time is too little for a shooter. They didn't even find the feel and went down to rest. In G7, he was fully fired on the court, so he also gained Cole's trust. After today's game Butler was asked about Hilder's performance in an interview, and he said: I chose to remain silent.

is probably conquered by his teammate's outstanding performance. Such performance is really impossible to belittle him anymore. When the Warriors won Hilde, they hoped that he could perform today. They have been looking for a shooter similar to Clay for Curry. Hilde may be one of the closest players to Clay in the league in shooting. However, because the shooting is not as good as the peak Klay and the defense is not good, many Warriors fans also jokingly call him a low-end version of Clay. I think the biggest difference between

Hilde compared to Clay is that his ability to fight tough battles is limited. This player can easily score high scores against weak teams, but when facing high-intensity defense, his offense is simply unstable. It was probably woken up by Butler. He beat him too softly before, and someone really needed to motivate him. Now Hilder has played the performance the Warriors are looking forward to. I hope he can continue his performance today.

Speaking of this, what do you want to say about the current Warriors and Hilde? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
