With 44 points and 6 assists in two games, the Rockets' new star returned to upgrade two skills, and Porter Jr.'s 9 assists changed the way he played
Although the Rockets lost to the Lakers, the overall performance of the team was very good, and the whole game has been tightly clamping on the score. Head coach Silas used only an eight-man rotation in this game. It just so happened that this way changed the overall way the Rockets played, and Porter Jr. and Jaylen Green paired up were very good. Jaylen Green finally proved his ability, in the last game Jaylen Green got 20 points and 2 assists, against the Lakers got 24 points and 4 assists, a total of 44 points and 6 assists in both games.
Jaylen Green scored 14 points in the last quarter of the game against the Lakers, in fact, the Rockets still did not give him too much tactical status in the first three quarters. Jaylen Green played two games efficiently after his return, and it was clear that Jaylen Green had upgraded two skills, the first being the ability to dribble. In the first few games of the season, Jaylen Green's dribbling ability was terrible, which led to his poor tackle with the ball, and the second skill was the ability to finish after confrontation.
Jaylen Green is a player who sells potential, in addition to the strong bounce, the other foundations are not NBA level, and the game against the Lakers Jaylen Green can use his breakthrough body to complete the layup. The Rockets should have given him more tactical status in later games. Porter Jr. returned with 22 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists, and from the number of assists, he has gradually begun to change his playing style, and the pass is put in the first place, which is also very critical.
The Rockets focused on the backcourt combination of Porter Jr. and Jaylen Green, in which case the two players were very incompatible at first. After a long injury suspension, Porter Jr. also tried to change his playing style. The Rockets also had a rookie guard, Christopher, who also did well with 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. He and Jaylen Green are also more compatible, and the Rockets' current goal is also very clear, and it has also achieved certain results, and the Rockets will continue this strategic goal.
The 8-man rotation is also very surprising, the Knicks and Quinn played very well in the last game, and the Rockets abandoned two players in order to give Green more opportunities. Jaylen Green's 38 minutes in this game is also a new season high. Compared to the beginning of the season, Jaylen Green has made significant improvements, especially the feel outside the three-point line has been found. The Rockets have lost many games in a row, and now that Jaylen Green is desperate to prove his ability by leading a winning game, Silas should be more aware of Green's status.
In this year's draft, the Rockets selected 4 players and focused on the defensive line. If the Rockets can develop Porter Jr., Jaylen Green and Christopher this year, as long as they can play two, they can choose a forward player in next year's draft. The Rockets rebuild is a very long process, the next game the Rockets will be against the Heat on January 1, this game if Jaylen Green can continue to erupt, then it means that he really adapted to the NBA.
