Warriors narrowly defeated Rockets 118-113 in the away game, winning a key battle and successfully advancing to the Western Conference Finals. Without Durant , splash brothers joined forces to show off their power. The two dominated the first and second half respectively and led the team to victory in a difficult situation. And in this battle, the Warriors' victory was not only due to one person. From veterans Iguodala and Livingston to new recruits Looney and Jordan Bell, Cole tried all the available cards. Fortunately, the entire bench did not live up to Cole's trust. .
Looney played well in this campaign. He played for 20 minutes and scored 14 points and 5 rebounds on 6-of-8 shooting, 4 of which were offensive rebounds. Whether it is his enthusiasm for fighting for offensive rebounds, his skills in turning around and hitting the basket, or his rare breakthrough layup, Looney has become an important offensive end point for the Warriors and a key factor in the Warriors' victory.
During the playoffs , Looney averaged 18.2 minutes per game, scored 6.7 points and 4.3 rebounds, and shot 69.6% from the field. In addition to his good personal performance, Looney's honest and honest personality, active and hard-working character have won the love of many Warriors fans. At the last moment of today's game, Looney's few small moves attracted countless fans and attracted respect and admiration from the fans.
With only 30.4 seconds left in the final quarter, Gerald Green's three-pointer was blocked by Looney. Then Curry grabbed a defensive rebound. The Rockets quickly executed a tactical foul, allowing Curry to stand on the free throw line. When executing free throws, the history of the league has left behind a common rule that no matter whether the free throw kicker scores or fails to score, he must high-five his teammates to express everyone's unity and friendship, relax their mind and strive to win the game.
However, in the second half of the game, Curry's left finger suffered a similar dislocation and deformation in the G2 game, but he kept covering the pain and persisted in fighting to the end. At 30.4 seconds, when Curry stood on the free throw line and made a free throw, Looney stood to the left of Curry and stepped forward to high-five him. However, Curry injured a finger on his left hand, so he had to lower his palm slightly, and Looney was also particularly smart. He lightly patted Curry on the forearm to complete the high-five ceremony.
In the next few free throws, Looney also lightly patted Curry's forearm. From a strength point of view, Looney is conscientious and constantly improving, and has the ability to become an important rotation for a rebuilding team. Looney's character is different from that of many young players. Although his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, he is still willing to take an annual salary of US$1.57 million. In the playoffs, Looney performed calmly, but in fact, he is only 23 years old. This young man has good potential, but also has a low-key and humble character like Curry. After two rounds of the series, more and more people have begun to like this role player.
