The Rockets have a weird atmosphere everywhere this season, first after 15 consecutive losses, the Rockets immediately won 7 consecutive games, and then the Rockets can still get some wins without a number of important players on the outside. But when Jaylen Green and Porter Jr. both returned, the Rockets suddenly became unable to play. On the one hand, it can be said that the Rockets' recent losses are related to the intensive schedule and strong opponents, on the other hand, the Rockets seem to have lost the momentum at that time.
Especially in the home rockets against the Nuggets, Silas has a very strange starting lineup, porter Jr. and Jaylen Green, Nuwaba and Tate two defensive forwards at the same time, which is a difficult scene to see in the past, and the inside rocket team did not use Wood, plus Shen jing was injured and did not play, so Silas gave 29-year-old center Theis a starting opportunity. After the game, we learned that it was not Silas who wanted to try to change sides, but wood who accepted the punishment of "coming off the bench" for violating the team rules.
There is even news that the Rockets' Little Potter also had an argument with assistant coach John Lucas during the halftime, and directly slammed the goal, not only did not participate in the second half of the game, but even threw something at the elder Lucas! This is absolutely intolerable for the Rockets. After all, lucas sr. is the rocket's meritorious coach, and has been playing the role of "old scalper" for the rocket team for so many years. Porter Jr., 21, dared to be rude to the elder Lucas, and it was clear that the Rockets would find a way to punish him.
Finally, after the game, someone asked about the reason for the punishment of Rockets coach Cerraswood, and Silas did not say much, but said that the reason for the incident was inconvenient to disclose. However, after the game, the Rockets' 19-year-old rookie Jaylen Green was suspected of responding to the Porter Jr. and Wood incidents. Green said the Rockets are just a young team, so the players still have a lot to learn and a lot to figure out.
Green's reply was simple, but apparently it could also be his personal opinion on the Rockets' "incident." Compared with the wild and unruly young man who spoke wildly before the regular season, after more than 30 NBA games, Jaylen Green has been very restrained. Green not only expressed his opinion of the Rockets' incident, but also made a secret defense for both sides, Potter Jr. and Wood were too impulsive because they were too young, and could the elder Lucas forgive them for their youthful sake? That's probably the point Green was trying to make.
Green said a few words that no one should be guilty of, he was neither on the side of teammates Wood and Potter, nor on the side of the elder Lucas, but also said what he wanted to say, and gave an explanation for the incident - it was all the trouble of youth. In fact, both sides are right about the right thing, and it will be good after this matter. Compared with the previous Green, who always likes to talk nonsense, green now obviously has higher emotional intelligence and is more talkative. This is not a kind of improvement for Green himself.
