In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Warriors and the Rockets tied 3-3 in the first six games. In the 7th life-and-death battle, the Warriors need to go to Houston to challenge the Rockets away.

The Warriors were chased by the Rockets for 2 consecutive games to 3-3 while leading 3-1, and the Rockets have a better psychological advantage; and the Houston team has a home court, which is quite dangerous for the Warriors.

As the Warriors' No. 1 star, Curry encountered the Rockets' focus on defense. In addition to his finger injury, Curry handed in the first half a bleak data of 1 of 7 shots and only scored 3 points. But the Rockets also paid the price for their defensive strategy - the Warriors' cold hand-held exploded in this game, making 8 of 9 shots and 6 of 7 three-pointers. The 22 points in the first half reminds people of Klay Thompson at the peak. Led by Hilder's strong performance, the Warriors led the Rockets 51-39 at halftime. In the second half, the Rockets once chased the score difference to only 3 points. Coming to the final battle in the fourth quarter, Curry, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally broke out! He scored 14 points in a single quarter, helping the Warriors widen the gap to 20 points! The Rockets had no choice but to accept the loss ending. The Warriors beat the Rockets who ranked higher than themselves in the regular season with a total score of 4-3, advanced to the second round, and will face the Timberwolves who just eliminated the Lakers!

Curry scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game. 8 of 16 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. When he was sluggish in the first half and 1 of 7 shots only scored 3 points, he forced his shooting percentage back in the second half!

4 crown vs 0 crown? Curry, a life-and-death battle, gave Harden another lesson:

The day before the Warriors won the tiebreak and advanced, the Clippers just lost to the Nuggets in the tiebreak battle. Curry, who fought life and death, taught Harden another lesson.

Although Harden scored 28 points in G6, he helped the Clippers bring the game to tiebreak, he was once again lost in the seventh life-and-death battle.

Facing the Nuggets' double-team defense, Harden had no desire to attack. Faced with a big score behind in the second half, Harden still did not take the initiative to stand up and take on the responsibility of chasing points. The camera captured Harden's confused eyes and the desperate movement of sitting on the bench with his hands covering his head. In the end, he handed over 2 of 8 shots, 7 points and 13 assists.

In the past, Harden fans would defend Harden, and they had not won the championship for many years because of one reason or another, and they were not lucky enough; but this time, even many loyal fans couldn't help it: just like this without blood and fighting spirit, no wonder there was no champion!

Harden and Curry are both superstars who entered the NBA in the 2009 draft, and both have a huge support group. To be fair, Harden may have more physical conditions and arsenal than Curry, and the number of games and the degree of gorgeous data of high scores is also more and better. But so far, Curry has already won 4 Golden Cups; while Harden is 0. Is this just an explanation of fortune?

Also facing huge mental pressure and high-intensity defense, one continued to work hard in adversity and finally ushered in explosion and victory; the other was completely lost and accepted the fate of failure in boiling the frog in warm water. Character determines destiny, maybe this is the real reason why Curry won 4 and Harden won 0!
