The Hawks have actually been quite disappointing this season, no matter what, they are at least last season's Eastern Conference runner-up, the team that advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, but they are currently in 11th place in the East with a record of 13 wins and 14 losses, and they are still behind the Raptors, there are indeed many reasons for this, but the biggest problem is that they are not good at home; and today, they will have to play at home against the Rockets.
From a roster standpoint, the Rockets are vulnerable in front of the Hawks, the team has no big names, a group of youngsters, and has not yet cashed in on the talent, such a game the Hawks should be ten to nine! But the end result was that the Rockets beat the Hawks 132-126 and won the victory!
This game is actually a more offensive state, from the score point of view, the two sides are actually completely undefended, which is the main reason why the two teams are behind this season. The Eagles bombed 38 points in the first quarter, 31 points in the second quarter, the Eagles did play well in the first half, and once led to 19 points; but today's Rockets in the fourth quarter was a bit unexpected, Augustine played on the bench, the last quarter of the single quarter 5 of 4 three points, single quarter 16 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, as well as Gordon's 10 points + 2 three points, the single quarter Rockets bombed a high score of 44 points, the Eagles were a bit caught off guard, and finally Yang Shaoxia's 41 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, can only be reduced to a background board!
Today I want to take you to discuss the rocket of this game! Porter Jr. suffered a thigh strain, House sprained his ankle, Jaylen Green injured his left calf, and the three young players that fans are most looking forward to, one of whom did not play, but could get such a high score as 132 points, is really more than just a surprise. And in this game, there is a player that makes me look at it with mixed feelings, that is, the best sixth man in the past, Eric Gordon!
The Rockets were able to win this game today, and Gordon is definitely the biggest contributor! The game started 30 minutes, shot 10 of 16, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 7-of-9 from the free throw line, 32 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal; the key two three-pointers in the final quarter, today's game said: "If it were not for Gordon playing, Trae Young's 41 points would have been full of rockets to find teeth!" As for Gordon's performance, it is more painful!
The Rockets have already entered the rebuilding period after Harden's departure, and it is completely impossible for the team to rush to the championship, so a veteran like Gordon,32 years old is not the person the Rockets need at all. But injuries, contracts, market reasons make him dilemma, and now his situation is that the Rockets can't find a reasonable home, there is no contract that matches what they need, so now Gordon is equivalent to wasting his time and physical condition, in the years that he can still play, the Rockets do not choose to let go because of their own problems, which is a huge loss for Gordon, but helpless!
