The Warriors changed their formation again in the tiebreak battle? Kumingga may return to rotation, Cole is more confident because of another person

How to deal with Rockets' double tower + joint defense tactics in tiebreak? If the Warriors cannot find a new strategy, they will be very passive. Coach Cole plans to adjust the rotation lineup, and Kumingga is expected to return to rotation, and the Warriors may change their starting lineup again. The Rockets' double towers are too powerful. Yahoo reporter Kevin O'Connor posted the data of Adams and Shinkin's playoffs at the same time, with offensive efficiency of 117.2, defensive efficiency of 85.0, and net efficiency of +32.2. In other words, the Rockets used the two towers and won 32.2 points in a hundred rounds.

The Rockets can very well limit the Warriors' dual-core attack when using the two towers. Curry's effective hit rate was limited to only 45.7%, while Butler's effective hit rate was limited to only 36.1%.

The Warriors' inside confrontation was too disadvantageous, and activate the young and powerful forward Kumingga undoubtedly became a necessary choice. At the post-match press conference, Cole was asked whether Kumingga could get a chance to play in the tiebreak.

"There is a 100% chance of him returning to the rotation in G7. We found a way to play later in the season, and we insisted on this strategy at the beginning of the series and took a 3-1 lead for a while. Everything went well, but it was obvious that we have played very badly in the last two games. We now have to fully evaluate everything, including lineup matching, starters and so on, and despite that, we still feel that we have a great chance in the next game," Cole said.

Kor had previously paranoidly believed that Kumingga and Butler were incompatible on the court, so he would not use Kumingga if he used Butler. But Cole's move wasted a forward with outstanding athletic ability, making the team suffer even more physical confrontation when competing with the Rockets.

Kumingga only played two games in the playoffs, scoring 11 points and 7 points respectively. With little playing time, he can still make contributions on the court. After all, Kumingjia has the ability to play with the ball, and can rush and grab.

Regarding the possible comeback in the tiebreak battle between Kumingga, Kumingga said: "Yes, he is fully capable of dealing with it. No matter what kind of challenge you give him, he can do it. He is very suitable for such a game. I am 1,000% sure." Obviously, Zhu Meng also supports Kumingga's comeback in the tiebreak battle.

For the Warriors, the situation is not good to fight the tiebreak in the Rockets' territory. In addition to counting on Kumingga as a surprise player, they also have to count on two major stars Curry and Butler to usher in a big explosion. However, Curry and Butler both face key points from their opponents and face great challenges. But Cole is still optimistic about the tiebreak battle because the Warriors have played more players.

"I'm optimistic about our chances. I've seen the performance of this group of players over the years, we've experienced many tiebreaks and achieved a lot of success. Butler is Butler - he's always the best in these key games and one of the best decisive moments in the league. We'll be ready," Cole said.

Butler is very good at creating fouls and is standing on the free throw line to score. When defending Butler, the Rockets Youth Army needs to be wary of being "scamdled fouls". For the Warriors, they need to solve the big trouble of Adams.

"He has a huge influence and does a good job of grabbing frontcourt rebounds and defending, and I just hope to swear by his three-second violation. He is too strong, 40-50 pounds (18-22 kg) heavier than us and 6 inches (about 15 cm). Hopefully we get some three-second whistle next game, but he's really great," Warriors forward Draymond Green said.

For the Rockets, they need veterans to relieve stress. Shin Kyung, Jaylen Green, Amen, Ethan, and Jabbarry Smith Jr. have not experienced the baptism of the tiebreak battle, but they have shown a good mental outlook in the past two battles. If Van Jordan, Adams and Dillon can stay calm and set a good example, the Rockets will have a higher chance of winning in the tiebreak.
