On December 16, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in a game that ended earlier today, the Rockets lost miserably to the Eastern Conference team Cavaliers, missing two consecutive wins. Before this game, the Rockets just defeated the relatively strong Hawks on the road, which made many Rockets fans see the hope of the team, but in today's game, the Rockets failed to play better in the absence of multiple main players. The Rockets were in poor shape at the beginning of the game, shooting all seven consecutive shots, which also allowed the Cavaliers to seize the opening and then be out of control, so the Rockets' final fiasco was expected.
Of course, the Rockets still have many highlights in this game, fans will not be as hopeless as in the previous 15-game losing streak, in addition to the No. 16 show Shen Jing and the No. 24 show Christopher, there is also a first-round show selected by the Rockets this year, he is this year's No. 23 show Garuba. Garuba also finally got the opportunity to enter the team's rotation lineup in this game, and he just returned from injury and showed a very good defensive ability in the game, which was also his biggest selling point in the draft.
Garruba played 17 minutes in the game, 1 of 2 shots, 3 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, although the data does not look so good, but it is still very comprehensive, in the case of only 2 shots, we can also look more at his contribution on the defensive end. In this game, Garruba showed a very good single defense technique, whether it is defending a big player or changing to a small defender, the 2 meter 03 tall forward will not easily lose his position, and his defensive position is very good, and his athletic ability and judgment are excellent, so this also allows him to play a very good performance on the defensive end.
Now Garouba needs to continue to improve is actually his outside projection ability, although he more often plays the fifth position of the small ball lineup, but since it is a small ball lineup, the fifth position also needs to have the outside projection ability to have a greater threat, so after that we still hope that Garruba can practice his head basket more and improve his head shot to an average level, so that he will definitely enter the rocket's regular rotation, and then there will be more opportunities to cash in on his talent. Overall, Garruba's performance is still good, and it is true that Stump won the No. 23 pick, and I look forward to his greater progress in the later stages.
