NBA playoffs are different from the regular season. Many teams or stars who play well in the regular season may play poorly in the playoffs. Only when the stage of the playoffs explodes wildly and leads the team to win can you be considered a real NBA talent. For example, Butler will perform toughly every year in the playoffs. In the regular season, don’t care about Butler’s data. When playing in the playoffs, you will see Butler play a key role in both offense and defense. For example, the Warriors and Timberwolves G1, Curry was injured, and Butler took on the responsibility of leading the team to win.

Although the Warriors played from the playoffs and had no home advantage, they struggled to eliminate the Western Conference Second Rockets in the first round, which certainly reflects that the Warriors played better offensively and defensively. Moreover, the Warriors and Timberwolves G1, at the Timberwolves home court, the Warriors defeated their opponents and took the lead 1-0, which is a reflection of their strength. The Timberwolves, which the Lakers cannot beat, were beaten by the Warriors. The Warriors' lineup and tactics used the Timberwolves as a gyro. Curry left the field due to injury, butler, Hilder, Mengmeng Green and others broke out collectively and led the team to beat the Timberwolves.

Hild joined the Warriors this season. In the early stage of the regular season, Heild played very well and made accurate three-pointers. At that time, fans said that the Warriors made a lot of money by finding a bargain to sign Heilder. Later, as the regular season deepened, Hilder's shooting condition declined, his scoring was difficult, and his role became smaller and smaller. In addition, the Warriors' mid-season record ranking was not ideal, and many people criticized and questioned, "Hilder is indeed a short-lived three-point shooter. Once he has no shooting feel, he will have a negative effect, which is very bad."

This playoffs, Hilder was slow to warm up, played poorly in front, and became better and better in the future. In the last two playoffs, Hilder has played the best data and performance in his career (33 points + 3 rebounds + 3 assists + 2 steals + 1 block, 24 points + 8 rebounds + 3 assists + 1 steal). According to official reports from the US media ESPN reporter, Hilder made a total of 14 three-pointers in the last two playoffs, the first in NBA history (14 of 19 shots, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 73.7%, and he made at least 10+ three-pointers in two consecutive games, the most efficient person in history). We all know that the playoffs have stronger ability to fight, and the Timberwolves have strong defense, but they can't defend against Hilde's three-pointer.

This year's playoffs, Hilder's overall three-point shooting percentage was as high as 46.0%, the strongest in the league. This year's playoffs, Hilder made a total of 23 three-pointers, third in the league. No one expected that Hilder, who had poor three-point shooting efficiency in the second half of the regular season, exploded wildly in the playoffs and shone brightly. His three-point shooting and hit percentage in the playoffs were both at the forefront. NBA experts say that the Warriors won the Rockets in the tiebreak, G1 defeated the Timberwolves, and Butler and Hilder both played a key role, which is the hero of saving the Warriors.

Curry is now suffering from an injury and may miss some games. Butler + Hilder + Dream Chasing Green, the core players of the Warriors will have even greater responsibilities to lead the team later. The better situation is that the Warriors' role players play very hard and excellent. Pojemsky, Payton Jr., Looney, Spencer and others are all working hard to achieve the best performance and help the Warriors win. I hope that the two new stars, Kumingga and Moody, can also find their form in subsequent games, breaking out like Butler and Hield, saving the world and saving the team.
