Please God invite himself for 19 years, Van Jordan didn't ask for a penny more

After being scolded for almost an entire season, Van Vleet's word-of-mouth counterattack, starting with the first round of G4.


The Rockets lost a crucial Game 4 in that game and fell into a desperate 1-3 run, but Van Jordan played impeccably, hitting eight three-pointers on 12 of his 13 shots from beyond the three-point line. But the Rockets ultimately lost out on the attention to detail, especially the lack of trust in Adams' free throws.



But in G5 and today's G6, the Rockets won the Warriors home and away respectively, and the big score of the series was 3-3.


G5 is at the home court of the Rockets, and the Rockets have spent the Warriors in a quarter and a half, and the Warriors seem to be preparing for G6 at home early. In that game, Van Jordan "played" only 33 minutes, scoring 26 points on 4-of-6 three-point shooting. Why is it only that, because except for this game, the other five games of the series Van Jordan played more than 40 minutes.



Udoka's trust in Van Jordan is unconditional, even if Van Jordan's shooting was like that in the regular season, and Van Jordan shot above 36% in none of the first three games of the series, Udoka never thought of reducing Van Jordan's role and opportunities.


Resoluteness on the basketball court is sometimes a head iron, and Van Jordan is such a player who is both resolute and will appear to be a bit head iron. In the regular season, he was 1-of-1 in X, and in one game he was only 1-of-11. But in the end, the Rockets will still thank Van Jordan for his "determination" and let them get through the two toughest games.



Today, Van Jordan was still a day of sensation, with three fires in the opening game, and 19 points in the second half to change the situation. The 3+1 at the beginning of the last quarter was said by Butler to be the turning point of the game, and it was also the charge of the Rockets to defeat the Warriors in the final quarter.


In the whole game, Van Jordan played 40 minutes, shooting 7 of 13, 6 of 9 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, cutting 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, plus/minus +12, scoring and assists are the highest on the team.



So far, Van Jordan has a 7-5 lead in the playoffs against Curry, and he is also the only guard in NBA history to lead Curry in record. In the '19 Finals, Van Jordan averaged 14 points in 32.3 minutes per game, including 39.3% three-point shooting. The Raptors won the championship in G6, and Van Jordan scored 22 points on 5-of-11 three-point shooting.


In the situation that the Rockets are about to be blackened by the seventh, Van Vleet finally invited his 19-year-old self, which is the source of his nickname Van Jordan. Butler's 60 million can be said to be not much for a point, and Van Jordan's more than 40 million, with the blessing of these three games, it can also be said that he doesn't want a point.



The Rockets relied on VanVleet on the offensive end and another veteran, Adams, on the defensive end. The Rockets once again punished the Warriors' matchup with a big lineup, and when Kerr wanted to deliberately re-use the "slash" tactic to force Adams down, Udoka withstood this time.


In the crucial fourth quarter of G4, Udoka replaced Adams in hesitation, and the Rockets failed to withstand a wave of offensive attacks from the Warriors. Fortunately, Udoka listened to persuasion, and the game even went to Adams for 31 minutes.


Kerr sacrificed Adams' tactic, Adams made 16 free throws, hit 9, and Cole's hacking tactic failed. When Kerr couldn't crack the Rockets' double-high and regain the rebounding disadvantage, the balance of victory in this series leaned more and more in favor of the Rockets.



Adams averaged 6.5 rebounds per game in six games, and his rebounding stats may not be very good, but anyone who has watched Adams and Wei Shao play knows how strong Adams' ability to card is in position.


When Adams and Shin Kyung were on the court, the Rockets' defensive efficiency reached a terrifying 85; 48.2% of the balls conceded were converted into rebounds, nearly half. When they were on the court, Butler shot just 36.1 percent from the field, and he did the ultimate in protection under the basket.



The Rockets' youth storm swept through the Western Conference for an entire season, but in the end, in the center of the storm, the two veterans put the Rockets out of danger like a pinnacle, and now they are just one game away from completing an epic 1-3 comeback.


For the Rockets, completing the 1-3 comeback is only one step away; For the Warriors, they are only one step away from completing the Black Seven. But sometimes this step is also 10,000 steps, and the difference between a fraction of a millimeter is a thousand miles.


Jalen Green has been in a slump for four straight games after a 38-point run in G2, and you can't expect Van Jordan to shoot 66.7 percent from three-point range every game, and you can't expect Adams to play a bigger role.



How far the Rockets can go this season, and the burden of the future, will still fall on the shoulders of young people, especially Jalen Green.
