On January 2, Beijing time, although the Rockets lost to the Nuggets and suffered 7 consecutive losses, the loss was a good thing for the rockets that were rotten and rebuilt. Rockets leader Jaylen Green once again played a stunning performance, playing less than 28 minutes in the game, but contributing 6 of 13 crosshairs, including 8 of 8 three-pointers, plus 12 of 14 free throws, and blasted a 29-point high.
It is worth mentioning that Jaylen Green became the third rookie in NBA history, able to hit at least 5 three-pointers in a single game and win at least 12 free throws, the first two being Rocket teammate Gordon and Bucks player Grayson Allen, who is also the first rookie in Rockets history to do this.
After nearly a month of return, Jaylen Green continued to play highlights, and in the 4 games after his comeback, Jaylen Green scored 20+ in 3 games. In addition to scoring 16 points on 5-of-11 shooting against the Heat in the last game, the Pacers scored 20 points, the Lakers scored 24 points and 4 assists, and the Nuggets contributed 29 points in this game.
Jaylen Green has played in 22 games this season and has scored 20+ points seven times and 30+ points in a single game. Jaylen Green is gradually picking up the state of play, but also to get rid of the outside world's doubts about him, and only by continuing to play steadily, he is expected to counterattack to hit the rookie of the year trophy.
The Rockets have seen Jaylen Green as the cornerstone of reconstruction, and whether he can continue to grow in the future and become the next superstar of the league is also highly anticipated.
