In the G6 of the NBA Western Conference Playoffs, the Rockets defeated the Warriors 115-107 away. Under the unfavorable situation of 1-3, they won two games in a row, dragging the series into a tiebreak battle.

It is worth noting that the Rockets' Van Vleet once again staged a "Jordan" possession, with 7 of 13 shots, 6 of 9 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, and scored 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in the game.

In the last three games, he has made 23 of 39 shots, a shooting percentage of 59%, and 18 of 27 three-pointers, a shooting percentage of 66.7%, and averaged 26.7 points per game.

Seeing Van Vleet chasing three-pointers in the final quarter and 3+1 scored 4 points, Payton Jr. couldn't defend it no matter how he defended it. I was really a little dazed. Isn't this Stephen Curry?

As a point guard who is only 1.83 meters tall, his work in the Rockets is very simple, and he does offense and organization. As for the dirty work of defense, let's leave it to young people such as Amen Thompson, Adams, Ethan, etc., after all, his physical condition is not good.

This reminds of the five death groups that the Warriors started. Curry's 4 championships in 8 years, he attacked with all his strength, while defensive players such as Zhu Meng Green, Iguodala, Klay Thompson, and Barnes formed the Warriors' defensive gate.

If you play 2k games, compare VanVleet and Curry, then Curry can play more powerful offensive data than the former.

Unfortunately, Curry's firepower has not increased at all at the age of 37, but Zhu Meng Green is old, and the newly joined Butler is no longer young. Others who can jump and guard against are gone.

The day after tomorrow, the Warriors and the Rockets will usher in a tiebreak battle. Old Liu had a little bad premonition, and Curry might have to have a holiday in advance...
