After losing at home to the Heat, the Rockets currently hold an awkward six-game losing streak. Although not as ugly as the previous 15 consecutive losses, the Rockets' current record is very disappointing, and this is still the case of the return of Jaylen Green and Porter Jr., the Rockets' lineup situation is not worse than the Heat team that played in the remnants, on the contrary, the Rockets basically played in the full main lineup, or lost to the Heat at home, Silas's coaching position seems to be dangerous again.
Fortunately, Jaylen Green has played well, since Jaylen Green's return in the last 3 games, he has averaged 20 points, 2.5 assists and 2 rebounds per game, averaging 48% of three-point shooting per game, and Jaylen Green is more efficient after playing without the ball. Tomorrow morning, the Rockets will welcome the Nuggets at home, and in addition to porter, Green and Wood Jr. can play normally, many Rockets players are still unable to play.
The most worrying thing is naturally the situation of the Rockets' 19-year-old rookie center Alperen Shenjing, we know that in today's Rockets' loss to the Heat, Shen Jing only played 7 minutes before exiting due to injury. It is understood that Shin Kyung sprained his right ankle and failed to play again in the second half. Shen Jing only played less than 7 minutes in this game, got 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block data, the efficiency alone is still good, but the injury is fiercer than the tiger, Shen Jing, a 19-year-old newcomer, can not stop the invasion of injuries.
After the game, according to Rockets coach Silas, Shin Kyung will definitely not play in the next back-to-back game against the Nuggets. "After Shin Kyung left, the team's medical team only told me that he couldn't play today. However, tomorrow Shen Jing will not be able to play in the game. Silas said. That is to say, tomorrow at 9 a.m., in the Rockets' game against the Nuggets, the Rockets' Wood is basically still the starting center, and the position of the replacement center may change from Shin Kyung to Theis.
While Theis is good defensively, he's inefficient with Jaylen Green. Coupled with Wood's good statistics in the game but unable to help the Rockets win, we can predict that the Rockets' inside line tomorrow is likely to be wantonly manipulated by Jokic. After six consecutive defeats, will the Rockets lose another game at home? This is directly related to the restrictions placed on Jokic by the Rockets' interior.
Fortunately, it doesn't look like Shin Kyung's injury is serious, and he's only 19 years old, Shin Kyung's body recovers faster than the veteran players, and maybe after a few days of recuperation, we will see the big European man active in the game again.
