The Houston Rockets, who were in good shape, met their faltering old rivals, the Thunder, and sure enough, they did not miss such a good opportunity, the Rockets won three consecutive wins, and the whole team is now in very good condition. Pressing on many celebrities, the Rockets' new star in the backcourt has created another milestone, and forcing him to transform is a wrong choice.
Porter milestones
Against the Thunder, Kevin Porter Jr. scored a triple-double for the first time in his career, and he set another milestone. That is, according to statistics, Kevin Porter Jr. became the youngest player in rocket history to get a triple-double at the age of 21 years and 202 days. This is followed by Steve Francis, Hakim Olajuwon, Ralph Sampson and James Harden. In fact, this is not the first time that Kevin Porter Jr. has set a glorious record, last season against the Bucks, Kevin Porter Jr. exploded with 50 points and 11 assists to help the Rockets beat the opponent, and he became the youngest Mr. 50+10 in the history of the league.
Porter started badly
You should know that at the beginning of the season, Kevin Porter Jr.'s performance was actually worse, in addition to the opponent's more targeted defense, it was also related to the Rockets' change of Kevin Porter Jr. to point guard. Originally, his characteristic was to use his personal attack to drive the pass, only he could score smoothly, attracting the opponent to start packing and assisting in defense, and Kevin Porter Jr. used this to create more opportunities for his teammates. However, with the arrival of Jaylen Green and the collapse of John Wall's talks with the Rockets, management and the coaching staff made the question of having Kevin Porter Jr. act as the starting point guard. But basketball is not just looking at paper and analysis, in fact, Kevin Porter Jr. can not be the commander of the court at all, let him barely organize the tandem, simply the Little Kevin Porter advantage is wasted, in the end he and Jaylen Green are very uncomfortable, Kevin Porter Jr. is not less spit and criticized.

As a result, jaylen Green was injured due to hamstring injuries, and when the outside world thought that the Rockets were worse and had no ability to fight back, the Rockets won three consecutive victories. This is certainly not to say that Jaylen Green is not good, or even the team's tumor, but the Rockets think less complicated, and the players' advantages are better played. It also turned out that it was a wrong decision to let Kevin Porter Jr. transform, and when Jaylen Green returned, the Rockets let them take turns to finish, without having to emphasize one of them to organize the tandem, which is not necessarily a good thing for the players and the overall development of the team.
