On January 1, Beijing time, the Rockets played at home against the Heat, and the Rockets trailed the Heat 60-74 at the end of the half. This game Heat is to welcome back Lowry, so this game the Rockets want to win will become more difficult, after all, the strength of the Rockets is weak, and the rocket's recent state is also a bit bad, although the Heat are short of major generals, but they can still have a lot of people to stand up to help the team, not to mention that in this game Lori also ushered in a comeback, so the rockets' chances of winning this game are not large.
After the start of the first quarter, the Rockets side relied on a good outside feel to take the lead, but in the subsequent game, the Heat side was not only able to respond, but more importantly, at the end of the first quarter, Guy played an explosive performance, coupled with the play of other Heat players, the Heat occupied an 11-point lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Rockets were not completely pulled apart by the Heat at the beginning, but then when Wood came on, the Heat began to hit the inside line to score points, which also helped the Heat lead to more than 20 points, but at the critical moment Tate stepped forward to help the team chase points, and then Butler scored to help the Heat stabilize the situation, and then Tate and Green helped the team stabilize the situation, but Butler and others continued to help the team score to expand the lead, and the Rockets trailed by 14 points at the end of the half.
In the first half of the game, the Rockets' performance was bad, especially when their offensive status was sluggish, they could only watch the opponent chase the score, and in this game, Wood's performance was sluggish, first of all, Wood's offensive performance was not good, and it was even more loopholes at the defensive end, when Wood was on the court, the Heat dared to attack the Rockets' inside line, so the Heat were able to continuously expand the lead in the game, but when Shen Jing was on the field, there was no such problem, and Shen Jing also helped the team in the game. So in the face of such a situation, Wood really should give up the starter, after all, the current Rockets are in the process of rebuilding, they should still train young people, Shen Jing here is more talented, not to mention, at both ends of the offensive and defensive Shen Jing is obviously more balanced.
At the end of the half, Shin Kyung had 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block on 1 of 1, and Wood had 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 3 of 6. At the same time, the Rockets in the first half of the game are really thankful to Tate, after all, if it is not Tate's performance at the end of the second quarter, then the Rockets may be behind more points, and Tate got 10 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist at the end of the half. As for the Heat, there were many people playing, and in the first half of the game, the 10-day short contract player Guy played a big explosion performance, and his explosion directly helped the team occupy the big score, and at the end of the half, Guy got 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 5 of 6.
In the first half of the game, it was not only Guy who played an explosive performance, Butler, Martin and others all played an explosive performance in the game, so the Heat once broke the Rockets in the game, they led by 25 points in the game, but their poor performance at the end of the second quarter of the game allowed the opponent to catch up with the score. At the end of the half, Butler had 19 points and 1 rebound, Martin had 9 points and 1 rebound, UteSevine had 10 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, Lowry had 5 points and 3 rebounds, and Hiro had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists.
