Rockets won the sixth game and successfully dragged the series into the tiebreak, which is also the second set of tiebreak battle in the West, following the Nuggets Clippers' tiebreak and the second set of tiebreak battle in the West.

In this game, the Rockets won the game, and three good news and four bad news came.

1. Three good news

1. Van Jordan is well-known. Do Rockets fans owe Van Vleet an apology? Did VanVleet drag the Rockets forward in the series between the two sides?

In the whole game, VanVleet played 39 minutes, made 7 of 13 shots, including 6 of 9 three-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws, and scored a comprehensive 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, plus or negative values ​​+ 12, 2 turnovers. Among them, three-pointers were used many times to help the Rockets stop the decline or expand the score, especially the iron-blooded three-pointer in the fourth quarter, which was a turning point. Van Vritte still relies on his personal ability to drag the Rockets forward, and the game was overwhelming and completing the battle of proof. Van Jordan was not a futile reputation.

Of course, Shin Kyung performed very well in 37 minutes, with 21 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. Positive and negative values ​​+7, 2 mistakes.

2. The Rockets' substitute performance is really outstanding and tough. In the sluggish starter, the Rockets Adams, Ethan, Smith, and A Holiday all burst out with considerable energy. Without such a group of substitutes, the Rockets would have difficulty gaining an advantage in this game.

In this game, Adams played for 31 minutes, made 4 of 4, 9 of 16 free throws, scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks, plus or negative values ​​+15, 0 turnovers. The mainstay of the inside, the white jade pillar of the sky, has extremely tough defense, but the free throws are really bad.

Smith played for 18 minutes, 3 of 4 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. Positive and negative values ​​+9, 2 mistakes.

Ethan played for 16 minutes, 3 of 4 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 steals and 1 block. Positive and negative values ​​+2, 0 errors.

A Holiday 4 minutes, 3 points and 1 rebound.

3. The Rockets Youth Guards have shown a spirit of not giving up and not giving up. When they were behind 1-3, they successfully dragged the series into the tiebreak battle. This series will greatly increase the morale of the Rockets and enhance the self-confidence of young players. The Rockets' prospects will only get better and better. Even if they fall in the tiebreak battle, in the following season, the Rockets will feel extremely high whenever they think of this series, which will be of great help to the Rockets' momentum.

2, 4 bad news, not about how bad Jaylen Green, Dillon Brooks, and Amen Thompson performed, but about how sluggish.

1. Did Jaylen Green encounter a psychological barrier? Can Jaylen Green still find his unruly state?

In the whole game, Jaylen Green played 32 minutes, made 3 of 11 shots, including 1 of 6 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, and was blocked 3 times. Although Jaylen Green's data is not good, the plus or negative value + 20 is the highest in the game, proving that Jaylen Green worked very hard in this game, with only 1 turnover and 1 foul.

2. What happened to Dillon Brooks? Didn't Brooks see such a strong fire in the entire series?

Brooks played for 18 minutes, 1 of 5 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, scored 3 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal, 4 fouls, plus or negative value +1. Finally it was deprecated! Brooks performed well in the first five games of this series. This game was plagued by fouls and his performance was indeed sluggish.

3. The Rockets' free throw almost made the Rockets lose the chance of tiebreak.

33 of 46 free throws were made in the whole game and lost 13 free throws, which seemed particularly a pity in the anxious game.

4. In the fifth game, Amen Thompson, who came to earth, disappeared!

Amen Thompson played for 35 minutes, 5 of 13, including 0 of 1 three-pointers and 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. Positive and negative values ​​+10, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.
