Lost to the Nuggets Rockets lost another 7 consecutive losses, but compared with the team's win or loss, I believe many fans are more interested in the contradictions that broke out in the Rockets locker room today, presumably many fans already know that in this game, Wood did not enter the team's starting lineup because of lateness, and in the second half of the game, he refused to play because he did not want to serve as a substitute, and at halftime, Porter Jr. clashed with the team's assistant coach Lucas, threw something at him, and left the second half early.
But in fact, this contradiction does not have much impact on the future of the Rockets, on the contrary, it makes everyone more aware that the Rockets' list of Green is the future of the team, whether it is Porter Jr. or Wood, they may just be a rushing passer of the team, this contradiction will not affect the team's premise. You should know that although the Rockets lost miserably and the team had internal conflicts in the locker room, the two cores of the team missed the second half of the game, but Green alone still carried the team forward, he not only personally bombed the second highest 29 points of the season, but also finally played the appearance of the leader of the city.
Let's take a look at Green's stats in this game, playing 28 minutes and having 29 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, including 6 of 13 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 12 of 14 free throws, playing a very efficient game. To know that this game is quite difficult for Green, although in the first quarter the Rockets and nuggets are evenly matched, only 30:31 a point behind the opponent, but in the second quarter of the Rockets' bench lineup came up to lose crazy points, the end of the half Rockets has lost to the opponent 24 points, but at the end of the first half, Green personally shot 3 of 6 plus free throws a total of 20 points, including in the second quarter when the team scored difficulties, resolutely raided the opponent's basket to cause damage, and scored 13 points in a single quarter.
After the midfield experienced the locker room storm, the second half of the Rockets was more difficult, but Green still did not give up, but worked hard to lead his teammates, but in the third quarter the Nuggets also strengthened their defense against him, the basket did not hit two shots, but he still hit 2 three-pointers in the outside 3 shots, and then with 4 minutes left in the game, Silas changed to a pure substitute lineup, thought it was surrendered, did not expect the fourth quarter Silas to change back to the main lineup again, Green hit another three-pointer at 9 minutes and 17 seconds, by which time his score was already at 29 points, and when everyone expected Green to refresh his career scoring high, he did not expect to replace Green with 6 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game, which also fixed his full game score at 29 points.
Although it is a pity that Green did not set a new career high in this game, this game allowed fans to see the temperament of Green leading the team, he was not discouraged by the big score, not affected by the team's locker room contradictions, but took responsibility to carry the team forward. You know, in the early game of the season, Green was not so determined about the impact, but this game Green was determined to cause damage even in the face of Jokic's defense, which is what the team leader should do. I believe that after this storm, Green will be more determined to lead the team in the future, and I believe that he will take Hugh City to a new height in the future...
