Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

The Rockets are back on the Warriors' home court. Oracle Arena.

This arena is yellow today.

It came too fast: Golden State Warriors fans haven't tasted the feeling of fighting on their doorstep for years. Their home team ended a 16-game winning streak at home in the playoffs last time out, and a loss tonight would see the Rockets advance to the Finals for the West. So they tacitly switched to yellow, the color that has been the lucky color for this Bay Area team for several years. On this relaxing evening, a uniform outfit allows them to draw more comfort from the people around them.

But this consolation is still not enough.

Green, Looney, Durant, Thompson, Curry.

Capela, Tucker, Ariza, Gordon, Harden.

The opponent's lineup really didn't have Chris Paul with a hamstring strain. Isn't he completely unplayable? Do you want to take the risk of gambling? But without Paul's rockets, they actually fought more and more resolutely. For a moment, fans even thought they were dazzled:

The court was tied at 13, Gordon was still two steps away from the three-point line, and the Rockets and Warriors had not yet set up their formations. 16 to 13.

Ariza himself advanced through the half, in front of Klay Thompson's defense, he took a diagonal step, drifted and shot another three-pointer, and scored! 19 to 13.

And, of course, Paul is not on the court, and James Harden, the team's only remaining core. He didn't seem to be too lazy to get the ball, and he raised his hand from outside the three-point line to shoot. 45 degrees on the left side faced Curry and scored, 22-15; Facing Durant at 45 degrees on the right side, he scored, 27-16; Facing Draymond Green at the top of the arc, he threw three more points and went in! 30 to 17; When Green wanted to defend, Harden jumped past him, breaking through to two plus one! 33 to 17!

Where is this rocket!? This team that shoots when you have the opportunity, and shoots back if you don't have a chance, is it really not its home team, the Golden State Warriors?!

Not only were the fans stunned, but even the Warriors on the court were shocked by this anti-guest momentum. This gang of bandits who broke into the house is menacing, do you want to accept the game directly? This NBA basketball league, and the team that is so arrogant that it doesn't take the defending champions who play at home seriously?

But there really is! 5. The advantage of winning the battle of Tianwang Mountain allows them to lose; When the bandits are not afraid of failure, they dare to dream of being heroes in the green forest and challenging the order! The Rockets' momentum threw the Warriors in disarray, with their most consistent shooters, Thompson and Curry, missing back-to-back shots, Durant organizing the offense, and his connection with Green was intercepted by Harden. Harden counterattacked and singled out Durant, but they didn't rush to the front: Tucker had already fallen into position early in the bottom corner of the weak side, and Harden saw him with six ears, and the ball also arrived! Tucker threw a three-pointer and hollowed it into the basket to give the Rockets a 36-20 lead! And this was not the biggest point difference in the first quarter: after 12 minutes, the Rockets relied on the last attack to build a 17-point advantage at 39-22.

Capela, Tucker, Ariza, Gordon, Harden.

The five people at the start of the Rockets, and when Yang Yiming hugged and celebrated them one by one at the end of the first quarter, it was still the same five. This gang of bandits will all kill the 12 minutes of the first quarter! Not only are the players on the pitch crazy, but even the head coach Mike D'Antoni is crazy! Yang Yiming secretly congratulated himself that he had asked Nina to do hypnotherapy for all his teammates the day before to fully recover his strength, otherwise these people would not be able to support the end of the game!

When Yang Yiming finished hugging his last teammate, Capella, the latter slapped him on the waist meaningfully, as if to express special gratitude. Capela is a Swiss with a funny personality but a quirky way to do things, and he has experienced a period of Capela-style adaptation from rookie to "card king" from Yang Yiming's "special treatment" to Yang Yiming's "special treatment" at the beginning of the season to his complete acceptance at this time. Capella thanked Yang Yiming, and he found Nina in the crowd and smiled at her. In today's game, she sat next to Yu Xiaochun and was specially invited to the bench, which is exactly what all the Rocket players want.

Her face was still tired, but her eyes were much brighter. Seeing Yang Yiming coming over, Nina also smiled back mischievously.

From the partnership of mutual suspicion at the beginning of the season and the need to rely on money to impress, to the huge help that Nina is now providing to the entire Rockets, Yang Yiming thought to himself that his relationship with Nina was getting better.

Of course, Yu Xiaochun and Nina are sitting next to each other, and they are another kind of getting better. However, Yang Yiming couldn't think so much, the opening bell of the second quarter of the game rang, he thought he was going to be replaced, but he didn't expect head coach Mike D'Antoni to choose not to move, and the lineup in the first quarter was only to replace Swiss center Clint Capela with Gerard Green. The confrontation continues!

The Golden State Warriors clearly learned the lesson of the first quarter, picked up the offensive tempo, and used David West, Livingston, Nick Young, and Cook to take turns attacking. After trailing by 17 points at the start of the home game, the Warriors' shots had to be resolute!

The defending champions had their backs to the cliff, but they were still calm and chased after each other. Maybe that's the essence and spirit of the defending champions!

Stephen Curry leads the way. Curry crossed Gordon and went straight to the basket, facing Tucker and Ariza's defense, he chose to fight physically and then tossed the board high, and the ball went in! Warriors blow the horn of counterattack!

James Harden is going to return the color. He resolutely kills the inside line, and he is also strong against West's block. West jumped up and held down Harden with his upper limbs, and Harden shot in the air. The shot was deflected wide and Harden was pushed to the ground. He was complaining and wanted the referee to blow for a foul, but the referee's whistle didn't blow, and the Warriors showed no mercy and countered with a mid-range shot from Livingston. 41 to 27.

David West assists Curry in the box, who hits a backhand. 44 to 33.

The Rockets' offense on 8-of-12 three-pointers in the first quarter stalled, and the Warriors took the opportunity to eat away at the point difference!

Cook's three-point shot was a few inches short, but the rebound was picked up by West out of the restricted area, and Nick Young and Eric Gordon fought for the floor ball, the former pressing the ball under him first, and just when everyone thought he was going to call a timeout to avoid the jump ball with Gordon who was close behind, he saw his teammate Curry moving closer to him. Nick Young rolls the basketball from his armpit to Curry like a quarterback kick-off in football, and Curry shoots ultra-long three-pointers through the double barrier of teammates and opponents! 48 to 38.

The Rockets did not choose to pause.

They handed the ball to their only supergiant, Harden, who continued to shoot inside. But with the experience of the last successful defense, the Warriors' interior line was more aggressive, West blocked, Livingston pulled behind Harden, and forced the ball away again! There is still no foul whistle - maybe this is the intensity of the playoffs in the eyes of the referees, the intensity of fighting for life!

The Warriors took the opportunity to fight back.

Curry dribbled, Livingston and Nick Young spread away, Curry controlled the tempo and dribbled. He didn't pick Livingston, a mid-range shooter, or Nick Young, a nervous knife on the other side — David West in the middle was on a fast move, Curry hit the ground and passed, and the basketball bypassed two Rockets defenders to West. He was in the empty Rocket restricted area, and he dunked!

48 to 40.

The margin was reduced to within 10 points, and the second quarter was just over halfway through! Yang Yiming knew that the victory of this game and the end of this round of the series would never come so easily!
