To say that this year's rocket, is really strong! They returned to Houston after equalizing the big score in Game 4 to win the tianwangshan match. All of a sudden, the defending champion warriors were forced into a desperate situation.

It was a tough game for the Rockets to win! So that Chris Paul in the last moment, fight injury fell to the ground. But it's worth it.

In the last 32 years, the Rockets have only lost one series in the case of winning the tianwangshan battle. Ten years ago, the Rockets faced jazz in the first round and won 96-92 in the fifth game of Tianwang mountain. But then the Jazz played two games in a row, knocking out the Rockets 4-3. Throughout the history of NBA, the team that wins the battle of tianwangshan also has a high chance of promotion. In the seven best of four series, the first four were tied 2-2. And 83.5% of the teams that won the fifth game were promoted.

In this way, after the Rockets won the fifth game, the winning balance of the series has begun to tilt towards the Rockets. Not only did they get match points, but in this series, the Rockets have a home advantage. Even if the warriors level the score in Game 6, the two sides enter the seven game, the home advantage of the Rockets will have a huge impact on the game.

In the history of NBA, a total of 104-26 teams won the series and occupied the home court advantage. The winning rate of teams in home games was as high as 80%. This gives people the illusion that as long as they play seven, the home team will generally win. However, if the warriors can drag the game to Game 7, the series is hard to say. The last team to beat the warriors in tiebreaker 7 was the Cavaliers led by LeBron James. They beat the warriors 93-89 in the final game to win the championship. Whether the Rockets have the ability of the Cavaliers back then depends on how harden performs in the last two games. Chris Paul's injury cast a shadow over the Rockets.

In this game, harden's performance was not good. His three-point shot from 0 of 11 is really hard for the Rockets. His sense of presence would have been too low if he hadn't scored six points in the crucial moment of the fourth quarter. Paul acts more like a leader than harden. Although he was also down in the first half, he was 0-for-7 on the offensive end. But in the second half, he stood up, almost a replica of the previous game. He scored 18 points in the second half and scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

In addition to using the score to carry the team, Paul is also the rockets on the court spirit prop.

On the court, Paul has been encouraging harden in a low state. In the director's lens, I saw Paul interacting with harden many times. This is what the Rockets need Paul to bring. At the next break, he was not idle and kept encouraging his teammates. Talk one by one and tell them what to pay attention to. Until he was injured in the fourth quarter and limped off the court, there were huge applause on the field.

But now the problem is, Paul was injured in this game! And it's possible to miss the next game. During the regular season, Paul took a few games off because of a sore hamstring. Now, it's a hamstring injury.

Without Chris Paul, it would be difficult for the Rockets to play a 3-2 lead over the warriors. He averaged 21.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2 steals per game, which was the second scoring point of the Rockets. When Hadden is not on the court, he can also take on the organization. His presence greatly shared the pressure of Haden. And different from the warriors, Paul has been to the Rockets to hold his position very accurately, he is to assist Hadden. In the warriors, who is the first scoring point between curry and Durant is always a question. Although Cole's team basketball system can make up for this defect, once it comes to the critical moment, it is really a big problem to give the ball to curry or Durant. In both games, Cole has more confidence in Curie. However, curry's response was that he missed the key moment in two consecutive games.

Especially this one. At the end of the day, green reduced the score to one with a three-point goal, and curry got the chance to surpass the score. But one of Curie's lay ups didn't get the ball in. Curry, who missed the opportunity, was very upset and kept his head down.

At the press conference after the game, he was also silent. But his mood has adjusted a lot. Facing the reporter's question, curry's face was calm: "that's why we have to play seven games, that's why we have to win four games in the playoffs to advance. We didn't lose! We still have a chance. We'll win at home and fight them in Game 7

Cole was very positive about Curry's last layup: "he did what he should do! They are all excellent! The players play according to the tactics they set and they can't score every time

Compared with the Rockets, the fear of warriors is somewhat insignificant. Chris Paul's injury has had a big impact on the situation in the series. It can be seen from his own emotions. A face of melancholy, even the victory of the game did not make him happy. Chris Paul, who turns 33 this month, is running out of chances. Over the years, he has experienced many times because of injury hate the playoffs!

This year is undoubtedly the best chance for the Rockets to win the championship, and the situation is favorable for them. But now there is a shadow. At the end of the game, the Rockets staff announced to the media: "Chris Paul right leg hamstring injury, to be examined, not to participate in the press conference."But judging from the expressions of the rest of the Rockets, it seems that the problem is not big. Hardon's not in the dressing room. If Paul was seriously injured, he would not have been so relaxed.

Just as relaxed is d'antony. Of course, he never talks about injuries at press conferences. When the reporter asked this question, he also made a very humorous joke: "is he hurt? I didn't see it! " But then, he gave us an attitude towards this problem: "Paul is a tough guy! I'm sure he'll be OK. Of course, everything depends on the results of tomorrow's examination. If he continues to play, it will be a great thing for him and for the team. If we can't, we have enough people to fight. The others should come out! We have a lot of physical players to use and everything is under control
