On December 24, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, the Rockets lost to the Pacers 106-118, and in this game, Rockets player Wood and the leader Jaylen Green also had a quarrel.
Wood was serving the bottom line, and Jaylen Green had an argument with him, wood had words in his mouth, and made a helpless gesture. The quarrel between the two sides is likely to be caused by the previous leg, when Wood held the ball high, Jaylen Green clapped his hands to ask for the ball, but Wood did not pass the ball.
In an interview after the game, Wood also talked about the quarrel with Jaylen Green, to which he said, "You can't care too much about things like this, everyone on the court is very competitive, so they are also chattering." At the same time, Wood also said that he was happy to see Jaylen Green comeback and praised Jaylen Green for the hot hand in this game.
Judging from Wood's post-game interview, there seems to be no problem between him and Jaylen Green, and the reason for the argument is only right, not to people. The problem is that this is not the first time Wood has argued with his teammates. During the Rockets' last game, he had an argument with Brooks during a timeout, but thanks to assistant coach Gerald Green's timely intervention, the conflict was prevented from widening.
So why does Wood argue with his teammates so often? This is probably also because the two sides have different perceptions and views on the status of the team. In Wood's view, Harden left Wall and was absent for a long time, he should now be the top player of the Rockets, and in wood's previous interviews, he often regarded himself as the leader of the Rockets, and even thought he could become an All-Star.
But the Rockets' newcomers may not be able to convince Wood, especially Jaylen Green, who may feel that they are the core of the Rockets' rebuild, and their tactical status should be higher than Wood.' So if you want to completely solve the problem between Wood and his teammates, I am afraid that Silas will have to speak to determine who is the boss of the Rockets and who should play the key ball. Otherwise, something similar may happen in the future.
