After the game against the Pacers, the Rockets didn't play in these days. Silas and his disciples can rest for a few days, and the Rockets will have to go to the road to challenge the Hornets, but the good news is that Jaylen Green of the Rockets has returned, Porter Jr. is not far from coming back, and even recently there was news that Porter Jr. "very likely" will play in the game against the Hornets, and reorganize the Rockets' double-junior combination with Jaylen Green.
In any case, Jaylen Green's comeback is relatively successful, he still played 25 minutes in the game with playing time constraints, in these 25 minutes Jaylen Green shot 7 of 14, 9 of 6 three-pointers, easily scored 20 points, showing a good competitive state and shooting feel.
More importantly, during the month of Jaylen Green's suspension, it can be seen that he has been reflecting on his shortcomings in previous games, such as his better choice of shots, and he is no longer obsessed with his own ball attack, and Silas's transformation of Jaylen Green is very successful.
Jaylen Green also thanked rocket assistant coach John Lucas after the game. The 19-year-old rookie said: "I would say that the rehabilitation I worked with Lucas made the game seem easier. In addition to this, Jaylen Green also thanked the elder Lucas for his guidance, saying that Lucas helped him improve his adaptability, speed and shooting habits. Especially in terms of shooting habits, Lucas suggested that Jaylen Green speed up the shot speed, so that it is less likely to be blocked by the opponent, and the shooting rate is naturally higher.
With the guidance of the elder Lucas, this is probably the reason why Jaylen Green made a good comeback debut, 25 minutes to bomb 20 points, who can say that Jaylen Green's offensive efficiency is inefficient? If it continues to play in this state, Jaylen Green is very promising to compete for the best rookie – and it is not impossible to catch up later. Silas did not give Jaylen Green enough playing time, after all, Green has just recovered from injury, his physical condition is not particularly suitable for the rhythm of the game, only playing 25 minutes is enough, and the next game will gradually increase Green's playing time, of course, this is the last word.
As Green said, although the Rockets lost, he was able to have a 20-point performance in a single game, all thanks to the elder Lucas. With the elder Lucas, Green's shooting, speed and adaptability skills have been fully upgraded, and from this game alone, Jaylen Green is particularly worthy of the status of "eye show". Of course, Jaylen Green's public thanks to the elder Lucas after this game reflect his emotional intelligence. No one hates "sweet-mouthed" players, especially Jaylen Green, a talented and cheerful future star, who can win the welcome of the Rockets coaching staff and players.
The only question is whether Jaylen Green can keep this in place, especially when Porter Jr. returns and competes with Jaylen Green for the ball and the number of shots, can Jaylen Green remain calm? This will continue to be observed.
