Butler s key rebound free throw, Warriors beat Rockets again, two incredible + two incredible

3:55am, 7 May 2025【Basketball】

The Warriors and the Rockets entered the fourth game in the first round of the playoffs. The Warriors, who were at home, welcomed the tough guy Butler's comeback from the liveliness. Jimmy did not disappoint the Bay Area's fellow villagers. He not only scored 27 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the game, but also grabbed the key winning rebound, and made two free throws to secure the victory for the Warriors. Judging from the scene, the two teams continued their previous high-intensity confrontation, which was as intense as the hand-to-hand combat in the 1980s. There are three incredible things in the Warriors who can laugh to the end, and three incredible things.

The first incredible thing is Cole's bold attempt to change the lineup. With Butler's comeback, Cole also showed his move - putting Moody back on the bench and putting Buddy Hilde on the start. You know, this is the first time in Hilder's career to start in the playoffs. After all, when he is mentioned, everyone's inherent impression is the two major labels of "fixed scorer" and "small defense", which is incompatible with the main theme of high-intensity confrontation in this round of the series. Therefore, such an attempt requires courage. As it turns out, Cole bet right, Hilder contributed two steals in the first quarter, showing his tough side, and fired all out in the second half, eventually contributing 15 points, responding to Cole's trust with practical actions.

In fact, this is reasonable. After all, the Rockets' defense against Curry is "metic" and Butler dares not neglect in the playoffs. Therefore, the pressure to truly achieve evenness of Hilder's defense is not great. Once Buddy notices this, I'm sorry, he won't miss the opportunity to show off. From this point of view, Cole is worthy of the title of champion coach, and is indeed much better than Redick, who dares not replace him in the entire second half.

The second incredible thing is that Zhu Meng Green successfully "locked blood" after multiple fouls. In this round of the series, both the Warriors and Rockets players have proved their toughness, and Teacher Green needs to say it. In this game, Zhu Meng received one malicious foul, one technical foul and four ordinary fouls in the first half. If he is not careful, he will be expelled. Interestingly, Zhu Meng Green not only fought until the end, but also defended Shen Jing from a singles that was almost certain to win in the last key defensive round and made great achievements.

In fact, this is reasonable. To apply the joke of Zhu Meng Green in the post-match interview: "This is me, I am a habitual offender, and I always test wildly on the edge of the rules." Teacher Green has figured out the referee's dictator's crippling standards through the first three games. On the one hand, he puts pressure on his opponents through these actions, but on the other hand, he can ensure that he will not be afraid of these fouls and even be sentenced to leave the court.

actually includes the choice that Ku dared to take action and hit when he double-teamed in the last game, and the decisive moment of this game Butler confidently told Zhu Meng that if the latter could defend himself, he would be able to grab the rebound, and he really pretended to be. After all, these are the accumulation of playoff experience, the accumulation of small advantages bit by bit, and the final quantitative change leads to qualitative change. On the surface, the Warriors are the seventh-ranked "lower dog", but their championship background has made the Space City, which is invincible in the regular season, pay tuition for their youth and immatureness.
