At the home court, the Rockets beat the warriors by 127-105, bringing the total score to 1-1.
The exterior projection of the Rockets has become their magic weapon again today. They scored 16 points and three points in the game, 7 more than the warriors.
“Everything we do tonight is our defense,” Rockets guard Eric Gordon said after the game. “We hit some empty shots at the right time. When we can play it, it will be fun.”
Of the 16 points and three points that the rockets hit, 12 were recorded by players outside the gun, including Gordon 6, Tucker 5 and Ariza 1. It can be said that it was because of the revival of the role players that the Rockets were able to win such a great result.
“I always want to play harder,” Gordon continued. “But as I said before, our power comes from excellent defense. This is not my credit. You can see that Ariza is also adding fuel to the fire, and PJ (Tucker) is also the same.
Today, the home atmosphere of the Rockets has been greatly improved compared to the previous game. Not only is the dress of the fans unifying, but the voice of the home team is also a wave. In the interview after the match, rocket player Chris Paul thanked the fans for their company and hoped that they could continue to help the team forward in the following matches.
“The fans are playing very well tonight and we need them to continue to cheer us up in the next game,” Paul said after the game. “Now for us, the next game is undoubtedly the most important. We know it would be a difficult situation to play there, but we are me. Well, we’ll be ready. ”
After the game, a reporter asked Paul and asked whether the Rockets had changed at the defensive end today. Paul denied this argument.
“No, surprisingly, we haven’t made any changes. Our defensive strategy remains the same. I mean, we’re just playing harder, but from the defensive deployment, nothing has changed. We’re just doing a little harder in every way. In the first game, clay (Thompson) put in 15 three points, and tonight he only voted four, so this shows that our defense is better than before.
The third series of rockets and warriors will be held at 8:00 a.m. Beijing time on May 21st at the warrior home Oracle arena.
