Today, the NBA regular season Rockets lost 89-124 to the Cavaliers on the road, so far the Cavaliers have won five straight. In the first quarter of the game, Rockets coach Silas suddenly became unwell, and then several staff members accompanied him back to the locker room, and assistant coach Lucas temporarily replaced the manager. It was later reported that he had a dehydration reaction, went to the hospital for infusion treatment urgently, and now his condition has recovered, and the team expects him to return tomorrow in a back-to-back game against the Knicks.
Although the manager's body is not a big problem, the Rockets players have lost their touch, and they reversed the Eagles in the last quarter and played with their spirits. But in this campaign, the manager's front foot has just returned to the locker room, and the back foot has been played by the Cavaliers, at most 40 points behind the Cavaliers, which is somewhat unexpected.
Matthews and Brooks, two good shooters during the seven-game winning streak, had no feel in this game, Matthews played 28 minutes on 6-of-0 shooting, only 1 point, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, plus-minus -30 game-low. Brooks, who was also out of form, shot 1-of-6 in 21 minutes and had 3 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, plus-minus -22. After the game, interim coach Lucas said: "The names of the two appear in the opponent's scouting report. They didn't get a shot in the empty space. If they can't score in the absence of Gordon and Wood, then we're going to struggle with the points. ”
Although the Rockets were hanged by the Cavaliers this time, they were not without gains, and 19-year-old Shen Jing set a new personal scoring record on the Cavaliers' inside line. He played 7-of-14 shots in 27 minutes and had 19 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, making him the most dynamic person on the Rockets. Although Shen Jing is only 19 years old, his moves and styles are very solid, especially the footsteps under the basket are very dreamy, and the impression is particularly impressive, but the dribbling level still needs more practice.
In the past five games, although Shen Jing has not played much time, he can contribute 13 points, 6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1 steal, 1.2 blocks per game, with a total plus-minus of +21, his shooting percentage is 53.3%, and his true shooting rate is 59.9%. Not only does he give people a sense of stability in the low-post attack, but his passes are also very imaginative, what long eyes behind his head, what does not look at people's passes are very ornamental, a bit of Jokic's shadow and spirituality.
It seems that the name of the Rocket Taobao Brigade is not taken in vain, and it may have been premeditated to take shen jing in the 16th pick, and the rocket has always had a tradition of cultivating young centers. A 19-year-old European interior, MVP of the Turkish League, solid low-post technique, excellent passing, good projection potential, sounds a bit like Yao Ming's meaning. The Rockets also specially equipped him with a Turkish translator, the same treatment as Yao Ming in that year, coupled with the Rockets' BUFF bonus coached by Olajuwon, Shen Jing's future is definitely bright. So what do you think about this? Welcome to leave a comment.
