The Rockets advancement trend! Cole puts pressure, he was wrong, the league doesn t care about the Lakers, let alone the Warriors

1:23am, 11 May 2025Basketball

In this year's playoffs, as of now, the Lakers were eliminated, the Clippers were eliminated, and the Warriors were eliminated, and this game is about to start. Warriors head coach Kerr has been distracted. Before the game, he kept releasing various news to build momentum for the team. In contrast, the Rockets sat firmly on Diaoyutai and said nothing. This is the team's confidence, and the Rockets' promotion can be said to be the general trend! So, does the Warriors still have hope in this game tomorrow?

Kor was crazy about creating an atmosphere. He was panicked

Let's first take a look at how panicked the Warriors head coach Kerr is about tomorrow's game. Before he could play, he began to create various atmospheres! It can be seen that from the game level, he no longer has any confidence in this game, but has begun to think of various off-track moves.

First of all, Coach Cole said that Rockets center Adams had multiple 3-second violations in the game, and said that the referee basically didn't brag much. He hoped that in the game, the referee could see this and make appropriate punishments. For this, we can only say that if you don't take advantage, you will suffer losses. Drummond Green played fighting on the court, Jimmy Butler's infinite collision, did the referee blew these? So the referee may be biased, but overall, the Warriors will definitely not suffer any losses!

In addition, Cole said that Kumingga would play early, and then said that Rooney would play early, hoping to increase the team's height and strengthen rebounding protection through them. In fact, just know these things yourself, why should I say them out? Obviously he wanted to confuse the Rockets, but is this useful? Obviously useless. I can only say that Cole acted for himself and was already panicked. It is obvious that before the game was played, I lost first in terms of momentum!

Cole put pressure on him, and he was wrong. Before the game, Cole focused on Adams's 3 seconds problem. To put it bluntly, he was putting pressure on the referee, but is it meaningful? It's completely meaningless. Don't he know the current NBA? Is there a noun, called referee report?

Why does the NBA introduce the term referee report? It's obvious that this represents the NBA. The referee's yelling officially went from behind the scenes to the front stage. Don't you often say that I'm yelling unfairly? Well, I will directly send the referee report and I will directly admit my mistake. This is called "to stretch out my hands and not hit people with a smile." People will admit it on their own initiative. What else can you do?

So what is the point of pressing the referee? Now, since the referee has issued the referee report, it means that they have played the clear card and they no longer care about anything, so there is no point in putting pressure on Cole.

The Warriors are out of favor, and the league doesn't care about the Lakers, let alone the Warriors

In addition, for the last game between the Rockets and the Warriors, some people think that the league will allow the Warriors to advance. The reason is that the NBA must ensure ratings, so the Warriors must advance. From this perspective, there is a certain reason!

But the question is, look at the Lakers, they don’t care about the Lakers. Can the Warriors compare to the Lakers? You know, the Lakers not only have James, but also Doncic, and the team also has Hachimura Shiraki from Japan. Where can the Warriors compare these aspects? The Warriors said that the past is just Curry? Can he stand alone to those people?

When it comes to ratings, then the Lakers can't beat the Timberwolves, but at least it's okay to let the Lakers play one more game or two more games, but the NBA didn't do that at all. They just let the Timberwolves get out 4:1. Looking at the game between the Timberwolves and the Lakers at that time, Doncic was beaten back to the locker room by the opponent. After watching the replay, the referee only blew up an ordinary foul. What does this mean? The league hopes that the Lakers will be eliminated sooner.

So, don’t talk about ratings anymore. This is not the focus of the NBA’s current focus!

The general trend of Rockets' promotion

Look at these teams that have advanced this year, the Thunder, Nuggets, Timberwolves, the Cavaliers in the East, the Celtics, the Knicks, and the Pacers, are all young teams, or Mesozoic teams, so the main theme of this year's playoffs is youth.

In fact, the current practice of the NBA is very similar to that of a company, that is, to cultivate new people and promote young cadres. As for old comrades, it is useless to say how strong your ability is, or how much contribution you have made to the company in the future. One day, the emperor is the same as the minister, let alone the NBA president, who makes trouble every few days and plays games in different ways.

Of course, the hope of the Warriors' promotion is not ruled out. There is also a possibility that the Warriors will advance, but the purpose of their promotion is not to let them win the championship, but to become Edwards' stepping stone. You should know that Edwards eliminated Jokic and James. If Curry can be eliminated again, then Edwards' reputation will rise unprecedentedly and he may become the real next scene.

Summary

From the overall trend of this year's playoffs, we can see that the situation is very obvious at present. The league is creating a situation where young people compete. Old comrades, do whatever they should do, retreat when they should, don't block the way or get up. It's that simple. Just like that sentence, in the final analysis, this world is the future of young people.

The Rockets' promotion trend! Cole put pressure on him, he was wrong, the league doesn't care about the Lakers, let alone the Warriors
