Although Curry, the Warriors' superstar, scored 22 points on 8 of 16 shots in the tiebreak game, and did not score super high scores, Curry's performance in this game was extremely stable. He made 8 of 16 shots, shooting percentage as high as 50%; he made 4 of 10 three-pointers, shooting percentage of 40%, contributing quasi-triple-double data of 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists throughout the game. He also had two blocks and two steals, and made only two mistakes.

This also shows that the Warriors' first core state is very stable. Although the Warriors' best player in this game was scorer Buddy Hilde, who scored nine three-pointers and scored the highest score of the team with 33 points, Curry's contribution to attracting defense was unparalleled. In addition, Curry also gave the team's highest 7 assists, and did a very good job of passing balls to his teammates. In the end, the Rockets lost to the Warriors. Although the Rockets were second in the regular season in the Western Conference, they eventually stopped in the first round of the Western Conference and failed to meet with the Timberwolves in the semi-finals.

It can be said that most of the Rockets players performed well in this round of the series. Van Vreet first suppressed and then picked up, scoring 80 points in three games; Shin Kyung's offensive and defensive performance in the interior was also improved compared to the regular season; although Ethan and Jabbarri Smith Jr.'s playing time and opportunities in the game were not as good as the regular season, the two made contributions in their limited playing time; Amen Thompson proved that he was the only non-sale product for the Rockets; veterans Adams and Dillon Brooks also helped the team on both offense and defense, and their performance was moderate. The only disappointing main rotation player for the Rockets is naturally Jaylen Green. Jaylen Green, 23, scored 38 points in the second game, performed normally, and in three other games, he scored less than double-digit points. In the tiebreak battle, he scored only 8 points, plus 4 rebounds, and made only 3 of 8 shots in the game, without any sense of existence on the offensive end. It is precisely because Jaylen Green's offensive efficiency that the Rockets regretfully lost to the Warriors in the tiebreak battle and were eliminated. After the game, Curry of the Warriors directly called out to Jaylen Green and gave very pertinent suggestions. He said he was not sure what happened in the Rockets' locker room, nor did the Rockets' request for Jaylen Green, but Jaylen Green always had a chance to make a comeback and he could become stronger.

Curry also said that during the offseason, Jaylen Green needs to face himself honestly and clarify his direction of improvement, which is the necessary path to growth in his career. Sometimes, losing and failing can make people stronger, the key is not to let setbacks defeat confidence.

So Jaylen Green should really learn from Curry. Curry also had poor performances in the playoffs and missed the championship, but Curry survived. Now, Curry is 37 years old, but he is still one of the best players in the league. Jaylen Green is only 23 years old. This summer, he needs to focus on improving his shooting and scoring ability, making himself stronger and more agile, which is what Jaylen Green needs to do. More importantly, he cannot lose confidence because of external ridicule and criticism. Jaylen Green has outstanding dynamic talent and he also has the ability to become a superstar, but he needs to make himself more confident in order to truly become the core of the Rockets. So, listening to Curry's advice will definitely help 23-year-old Jaylen Green.
