On December 29, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in a game that just ended today, the Rockets lost to the Lakers at home with a slight disadvantage, which is still a bit of a pity. The Rockets played well in this game, in the face of the Lakers whose momentum is not very good recently, the Rockets played very tenaciously in this game, there are many times in this game that the Lakers are almost going to completely pull the score apart, but the Rockets can always find a way to chase the point difference closer, the point difference has actually been maintained at around 5 points, and finally the two sides also played to the last moment, and the Lakers finally won in a thrilling way.
The Rockets' two young backcourts, Kevin Porter Jr. and Jaylen Green, have returned, which has also made many Rockets fans more looking forward to this game. Compared with Porter Jr., the performance of Jaylen Green in this game is actually more outstanding, but also more surprising, after all, the Expectations of Rockets fans for Green are still very high. Green played 32 minutes in the whole game, 8 of 16 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 24 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, the performance was very good, and compared to the previous game, Green's error control was also better, he only had two mistakes in the whole game, and the improvement was very obvious.
After a few days of rest, we can see that Green's physical condition and competitive form are very good. Compared with the previous less positive performance in the game, Green still very much hopes to prove himself when facing the Lakers stars in this game, so we can see that Green is very excited in the game, retreating three points, empty dunks, and lagging baskets to play two plus one all reflect Green's excellent ability and state, if he can continue to maintain such enthusiasm and excitement in the later games, then the Rockets are definitely selected as a baby.
At the beginning of the season, Green's unstable performance has been criticized by fans and the media, and many people have directly said that Green is a parallel cargo list. But fans who know a little bit about the ball actually know that a very talented rookie like Green can't make up his mind too soon, because you don't know when he'll be hooked. Obviously, in this game against the Lakers, Green really got the hang of it, his excellent performance proved that Stone did not choose the wrong person, and his performance today also made us look forward to his later growth, hoping that he could play better.
