To say that the most surprising team this season, I believe many fans will mention the Rockets, this team has been unanimously looked down upon during the 15-game losing streak, and even the US media said that the team coached by Silas will end with the worst record in history of 7 wins and 75 losses. But then the Rockets won 7 consecutive wins, the Bulls, Nets and other giants have been cut down, and now the Rockets in the game against the Eagles, but also in the case of backwardness, the last quarter of the wild 44 points, directly reversed to defeat the opponent, ending the losing streak, the performance is strong.
The Rockets are really different now, they are no longer the team that has lost big scores in a row, and the Rockets in the game do not give up, full of resilience. After the big reversal against the Hawks, Silas said: "I know we are a tough team and I know we will always compete. I know the players on the team are ready for a moment like this. We are a very hard working team, we have a strong competitive spirit and we will seize every opportunity to help the team move forward. ”
It is also true that the Rockets are gaining momentum today, winning eight of the last 18 games, losing to the Eastern Conference's powerful Bucks by just nine points and losing seven points to the West's biggest dark horse, the Grizzlies, all of which are small. At present, the Rockets' record has reached 9 wins and 18 losses, ranking 13th in the West with a 33.3% win rate, and only 2 wins away from the tenth place in the West and the playoffs. Currently in tenth place in the West are the Blazers, who have recently suffered five consecutive defeats and only won 2 games more than the Rockets.
It should be known that during the 15-game losing streak, many people said that Gordon and Wood in the Rockets had more injuries, and Jaylen Green, Martin Jr., Porter Jr. and Shen Jing were too young to almost book the bottom position in the West. But what they didn't expect was that they had won 8 of the last 10 games, and they were only 2 wins away from the Western Conference play-offs, and the contrast was really big.
At the player level, there are many players who have performed well in the Rockets recently, gordon and Wood are representatives, of which Gordon, as the most senior player in the Rockets, can always stand up at key moments. Wood's strength is also there for all to see. At the same time, the performance of young players such as Shen Jing and Christopher is also good, and the overall matching of this team is still very reasonable. Good recent results, high morale and morale among the players, which is key.
So also look forward to the next performance of the Rockets, their opponents are the Cavaliers, Knicks and Pistons, the overall strength of the opponents is not very strong, the Rockets are still likely to continue to achieve a wave of consecutive wins, continue to approach the play-off area.
