In the first round, G7 played the Rockets, 9 of 11 three-pointers, and scored 33 points; In the second round G1 against the Timberwolves, he made 5 of 8 three-pointers and contributed 24 points.
Hield combined for 57 points in the last two games, including 14-of-19 three-pointers, shooting a terrifying 73.7% from the field, during which the Warriors won all of them.
It is worth mentioning that Hield scored 20+5 three-pointers and 0 turnovers in two consecutive playoff games, the third person in NBA history, comparable to Seth Curry and Grayson Allen.
Hield's recent play reminds people of an old man, yes, Thompson, the decorated player who helped the Warriors win four championships.
Last offseason, Hield joined the Warriors for four years and $37.76 million, averaging 11.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in the regular season, with a three-point shooting rate of 37%; So far in the playoffs, he has averaged 12.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 46% from three-point range.
In fact, just the supernatural play of G7 in the first round led the Warriors to advance to the second round, and the Warriors' contract to sign Hield was already worth the money, and they couldn't return to their original costs.
But with Curry's hamstring injury, he has to recuperate for a while, and he may miss at least the next few games, without "Curry's gravity" to attract the Timberwolves, Hield's defensive firepower will be doubled, which will be a new test for him, and the Warriors need Butler to step up better.
So far in this year's playoffs, Butler has not scored 30 points in a game, which is far from his limit, you must know that this buddy has scored 56 points in a single game in the playoffs during the Heat, and has also 40+ in a single game many times, and he can always burst out with strong energy in a single-core situation, and now the opportunity has come......
The latest playoff situation, Western Thunder 0-1 Nuggets, and Timberwolves 0-1 Warriors; Eastern Cavaliers 0-2 Pacers, and Knicks 1-0 Celtics.
Wait, this season's Eastern Conference regular season champion Cavaliers were beaten by the Pacers at home for two consecutive cities, and it looks like there will be another good show!
