Rockets vs. Nuggets This game Hughes team midfield team outbreak locker room contradiction must be known to many people, the core of this contradiction outbreak is mainly around Wood and Porter Jr., one is late in the start of the game was demoted to a substitute, the second half is even more refused to play on the bench, one is because the team did not perform well in the first half of the dressing room explosion and then evolved into a contradiction with assistant coach Lucas, although this contradiction caused a bad impact on the image of HughEs, but the outbreak of this contradiction Rockets still reaped 3 major benefits.
First, it can be more obvious that the leader of the team is Green, and everyone knows that since the new season, Wood has been claiming to be the leader of Hugh City, the façade, but in fact he is basically a big brush on the court, only knows to care about personal data, never cares about the team's win or loss, and although the Rockets lost in this game, Green not only played a bright data, played 28 minutes to bomb 29 points, he also played a long-awaited leadership temperament, starting from the second quarter of the team's bench crazy loss, Green single-handedly took on the team's heavy lifts, repeatedly attacking the basket to kill his opponent's basket and standing on the free throw line, and at the end of the first half he shot 20 points, including 12 of 14 free throws, which he had not performed in any previous game. And in the second half, when Green scored to 29 points and was replaced by Silas, he did not have any complaints, to know that this is a short distance from his new career high, although it is a little regrettable for fans, but it also shows Green's good mentality, because breaking personal records is sooner or later for him.
Second, there is no objection to Wood's future in the Rockets, this game he is not only late to violate the rules of the team, but also in the second half of the refusal to accept the coaching staff's arrangement, Wood's behavior will prompt the team management to make a decision to trade as soon as possible, to know that this time is not the first time Wood has created a conflict in the team, not long ago in the game against the Bucks with Brooks, and in the subsequent game against the Pacers with Green, Wood's role in the team's tumor has been revealed.
The fact caused the contradiction between Porter Jr. and Lucas at halftime was also caused by Wood, the Rockets were still ahead of the Nuggets when the main player of the Rockets was on the court in the first half, and when Wood came on as a substitute, he played blindly, the outside line shot at will, the defense was not, the instant lead became behind, the half ended behind the Nuggets by 24 points, this game Wood played 8 minutes without scoring, the plus-minus value of the field -17, you can imagine how bad his performance was on the court, Porter Jr. will have such a performance because he is dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half, So Porter Jr., despite clashing with Lucas, has no impact on the future of the team, and Wood may have started his countdown to departure.
Third, after this game, the coaching staff's trust in Wood will be greatly reduced, and the team's No. 23 show Garuba may usher in his chance to take the position. In the past period of time, Garupa has not been very valued, the opportunity to get performance is very few, a large part of the reason is that the team in the 4th and 5th positions are a bit overflowing, as Wood's playing time decreases, then Garruba will inevitably enter the eyes of the coaching staff, and in this game against the Nuggets, he has performed well, although only 2 points in the game, but in the defensive end is very good, with 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, and his playing time is only 13 minutes, plus-minus + 13。
So overall, this outbreak of contradictions is not necessarily bad news for the Rockets...
