This game, is the first game of Kevin Porter Jr.'s return from injury, its direct start, become the team's organizational guard, absolutely control the team's possession of the ball and distribute the ball, from this point of view, Porter Jr.'s status in the Rockets is very high, basically the most important position, from the current point of view, Jaylen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. for the status of the team, the two are basically in the stage of synchronous cultivation of average treatment, to know that Jaylen Green is the Rockets this year's draft selection of the eye of the pick.
On the offensive end, the Rockets' offense was launched from Porter and Wood, Porter's two three-pointers in the opening stage showed excellent competitive status, and the Rockets' scoring at the key moment of the fourth quarter also came from Porter, which showed that Porter was basically at the top of the Rockets ball and enjoyed the right to fire indefinitely.
However, does not prevent Porter's stage of offensive choices are bad, when Porter returns from injury, the way of playing, mainly based on three points and attack frames, the playing style is very magic ball, under the Lakers' extremely bad defense, Porter seized a lot of opportunities for the Lakers to make mistakes, and it can be seen that Porter's judgment on the court does have improvements.
From the perspective of Porter's organization, Porter's organization is in a very polarized situation, either passing out very beautiful assists, or making mistakes, the 4 mistakes of this game, for the point guard, has been a lot, but compared to the assist error ratio, compared to the opening stage there is still a certain improvement, but Porter's passing and organization There is still room for improvement, especially the control of mistakes, because of Porter's mistakes, the Rockets were hit too many offensive and defensive conversions by the Lakers.
From the defensive end, Porter spends most of his time against Wei Shao, Wei Shao's impact, Porter can not defend at all, need other teammates to supplement and assist in defense, on the court, Porter's no ball wandering is very serious, no ball leakage is also very serious, when Porter and Green are on the field at the same time, the Rockets' defense is full of loopholes, Potter and Green are on the field at the same time, the Rockets are full of holes on the defensive end, Porter's defensive concentration is really bad.
From the current situation, when Porter and Green are on the court at the same time, the stability of the offensive end is improving, but the defensive end is full of loopholes, especially Porter, the defensive concentration is extremely bad, the change of defense is often wrong, the defensive communication with teammates is not good, prompting the Rockets' young double backcourt during the court, the defense can not look at all, in the current situation, the Rockets focus on cultivating Porter and Green, and have to tolerate such a thing, after all, the purpose of the Rockets is now to cultivate young players, whether Porter's performance can meet expectations, The main thing is to look at the rest of the season.
