The Rockets have indeed trained the Warriors!

On May 7, in the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves 99-88 away, leading 1-0.

It is worth noting that after 7 games in the first round with the Rockets, facing the tall Timberwolves, the Warriors gained a rebound advantage in the game for the first time, grabbing 51 rebounds in the game, 10 more than their opponents, of which 18 rebounds were won in the frontcourt, 6 more than their opponents.

The Warriors were really trained by the Rockets. After seven hard-hitting hand-to-hand combat, the Warriors were beaten to the point of being invulnerable. Facing the tall Timberwolves, the Lakers' so-called opponent with great defense intensity was eventually defeated by the Warriors' five small lineup without Curry.

This game proves one thing: "The Rockets are better than everyone thinks, and the Lakers with Doncic are worse than everyone thinks."

In this game, it may be because the Timberwolves didn't play for four or five days, and it was a bit slow to get into the game. But no matter how slow the heat is, I will not only score 31 points in the first half, and I will hit 5 of 29 shots in the game.

In addition, the Warriors had just finished playing G7 and had only one game before heading to Minnesota. The Timberwolves had delicious food, drink and rest, and they played at their doorstep, but they couldn't make any shots, and they couldn't defend themselves.

This can only show that under the training of hardcore opponents like the Rockets, the Warriors' strength has been improved to a higher level, which is more terrifying than the Warriors encountered in the Timberwolves' regular season.

Now, Curry's left hamstring is injured and is not expected to play in G2, but they have won a away game, and at least their mentality will be more stable.

Even if you lose in the next game, it doesn't matter much. Just wait for Curry to return G3. The Timberwolves are not the opponent at all.
