After a busy day, watching the Rockets temporarily change the lineup before leaving in the morning, removing the recently criticized Wood from the starting lineup, the lazy bears still think that it is dawn, the team can play more reasonable or there is about to be a trade. As a result, when I came back in the evening, the locker room blew up.
The Rockets were given a record 47 points by the Nuggets in the second quarter, and the opponent pressed on the ground with a swollen nose and swollen face, and the subsequent second half wood and Porter Jr. did not play.
After the game, according to the reports of the team reporters and major media, it was learned that the Rockets had a large-scale quarrel in the locker room at halftime, and the two players mainly involved in the incident were Wood and Porter Jr.
Wood was removed from the starting game for missing a pre-match CORONAVIRUS test and violating team rules, and at halftime, Lucas commented on Wood's passive attitude and level of effort, followed by Wood's refusal to appear in the second half.
Wood's recent poor form and negative attitude to the game are obvious to all, in addition to constantly leaking on the court and destroying the team system, frequent complaints in the media interviews off the court, and clashes with Brooks on the bench. His character flaws have seriously threatened the stability of the Rockets team, and he really has no super giant life, and he has no super giant disease.
Little Potter's problem is more serious, according to Woj and Fagan's report, it is probably possible to restore the cause of the incident. In the first half, Lucas repeated a problem with Porter Jr., which made Porter Jr. lose his cool.
Then in the locker room, Porter Jr. took the lead in expressing dissatisfaction with the Rockets' performance in the first half, and after Silas and Lucas criticized the rocket players' efforts, Porter Jr. failed to control his emotions and exploded again. He threw something away from Lucas and drove away from the arena without permission.
Although follow-up reports suggest that Porter Jr. has apologized for his excesses, this professional attitude is truly jaw-dropping. Lucas Sr. has always cared about Porter Jr.'s life, training and emotions, constantly helping him get on track, almost "father" like a role. It turns out that his "cancerous" personality flaws are still hidden dangers.
After this farce, management will recognize the instability and risks in the current team, which may force Stone to speed up the process of finding a deal, affecting porter Jr.'s renewal expectations in the future. It was also a test for the coaching team led by Silas.
The only thing to be thankful for in the chaos is that "Heart and Liver Baby" Green is getting better and better, shooting 6 of 13 and 12 of 14 from the free throw line, scoring a game-high 29 points and becoming a fig leaf for the team on the offensive end many times.
After returning, he averaged 22.3 points per game in four games, shooting 48.1% from the field and 51.5% from three-point range, and has quietly metamorphosed on the offensive end. Although defensive and organizational skills still need a long time to hone, the overall talent has begun to cash in.
That fearless defender, the lightning first step was so fascinating.
Green is good, is really good. But building a good team environment is also something that management should consider, so let's wait and see.
