On December 29, Beijing time, the NBA regular season game continued, and in a game that ended not long ago, the Rockets unfortunately lost to the Lakers and continued their losing streak. In this game, the strength of the Rockets and the Lakers still has a relatively obvious gap, but the young players of the Rockets are not afraid, they have played a very good performance in the game, such as Porter Jr., Jaylen Green and other young players who have just returned have played a very good performance, and in addition to paying attention to these two young players, there is a young player who is easy to be ignored by everyone, he is the Rockets' No. 24 pick Christopher this year.
Christopher continued to enter the Rockets' rotation lineup for the game, playing 27 minutes in the whole game, scoring 14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals on 5-of-8 shooting, and performed very well. Christopher's performance in this game gave people a glimpse of his endless possibilities for future development. Before that, Rockets fans were most impressed by Christopher's defense and the "lone wolf" style of offense. But from the last few games, we can see that Christopher has actually made a lot of progress.
Christopher will still play more "solo" in this game, but his defensive skills have not weakened, and he has become more able to tandem the team, which is where we couldn't see before. And now his interior finish against NBA-level defenders is getting better and better, and his passing horizons in the fast attack are getting wider and wider, so we have reason to look forward to his later developments.
In fact, many people did not know much about this player when Stone selected Christopher, and his inefficient performance in the summer league also made fans a little afraid to expect the young man's performance in the regular season. And after the best of him slowly got the opportunity to play, in fact, people have seen his progress, we also expect him to continue to maintain this performance in the later games, if he can continue his defense, while his three-point shooting becomes more stable, then he is still likely to grow to the height of his template Ju holliday, I hope he can continue to cheer it up.
