25+ in 3 consecutive games, the Rockets are right to give the maximum salary, Green made 3 of 11 shots, and 1 of 3 big forwards will be underestimated

In the key game, it depends on the performance of the veteran. Van Vleet gradually adapted to the rhythm of the playoffs. The three-pointer in this game continued his touch and saved the master many times at critical moments. His and Ethan's outside line are the only two stable players in the Rockets. His explosion also reflects the poor performance of another starting backcourt player, Jaylen Green. Both rarely explode at the same time this season, and their feel is always staggered. VanVleet's outbreak made it difficult for Rockets general manager Stone to handle. There was only one reliable player at No. 1, but the maximum salary was too expensive.

VanVleet played Green alike. No matter how bad the touch was before, you must be confident in shooting. Even if you miss the shot, you must change the opponent's defense. This is the value of a veteran on the court. It not only needs to score directly, but also contribute in other aspects. In this game, Van Vleet showed the strength of the champion defender again. The Rockets rotated 9 players in this game, with three players on the back line, Jaylen Green was lost, Holiday Jr. Jr. was just a shooter role, and Van Vleet played for up to 39 minutes. In the Warriors' battle, three-pointers are the key to the outcome. In the first half, VanVleet's three-pointer was as helpful as a god, and was double-teamed by the Warriors in the second half. However, at this time, Jabarry Smith stood up and hit two consecutive three-pointers to stabilize the gap. Smith Jr. is the most underrated player on the Rockets' forward line. As a high-shot shooter, he can be regarded as a versatile player on the team. He can play center in five small lineups, and small forwards in three towers lineups. He has height and wingspan in the inside and shooting in the outside.

Smith scored 8 points in this game, but she didn't play for a lot of time, only 18 minutes. The Rockets' three major forwards exploded at the same time. Amen Thompson scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, but only shot 5 of 13 shots and defended Curry in the whole game. His shortcomings were still there. He did not practice his shooting ability, and the upper limit was a blue-collar player. The comparison between him and VanVleet in this game was obvious. In the final stage, the ball was in the hands of the players who could shoot, and they won the G6 and tied 3-3, but Jaylen Green is still a hidden danger.

Jaylen Green scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in this game, and 1 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line. He could not score points before, but he was able to use assists to revitalize the entire team. In the fourth quarter of this game, he failed to make two singles attempts and made mistakes in all the shots. In the playoff level, Jaylen Green is not able to control the ball and shoots unstable, and it is difficult for defense to play in this level of confrontation. VanVleet scored 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, and scored 6 three-pointers, 25+ in three consecutive games. He was criticized for being too expensive for the maximum salary. At present, Stone did not see the wrong person.

The three major forwards Amen Thompson, Ethan and Jabbarry Smith, among which Smith is an absolutely underrated player. He scored two consecutive three-pointers at a critical moment in this game, laying the foundation for winning. The G7 battle is about to break out, and the Rockets still have many moves, and the Twin Towers are just one of them. Smith is very stable in the playoffs and has a high shooting percentage, but there is no real explosion yet. In the 7th game, it is expected to shift the offensive focus from the inside to the outside. The Warriors' starting lineup was very bad in this game, but they must not underestimate the enemy.
