Gerald Green's joining the Vipers is perhaps the best news of the day, especially after watching the Rockets' terrible game against the Lone Rangers. At the same time, the Rockets will also reserve an assistant coaching position for Gerald Green, welcoming him back to the team at any time, which can be said to be the most perfect result.
Looking at the Rockets Lone Ranger game, this is the only game this season in which the lazy bears turn off the live broadcast early, because it is really difficult to look at it directly, and it can even be said that today's Rockets do not have a little bit of the appearance that a professional team should have, and the solid has fed a mouthful of to the Rockets celebrities who are present.
The first quarter of the debut of the Rockets is like a frosted eggplant, completely unable to lift the spirit, the offensive end of the tactical monotony is simple, often in some basic passing ball or block after the ball stagnated, and then with a singles to solve the problem, there is no connection between the players, the play is called a casual.
The Lone Ranger lacks two major generals, Doncic and Porzingis, and the threat of the attack and the flexibility of tactics are almost interesting, but after regaining the outside feel, the offense is more and more fluid, coupled with the Rockets' dizzy defense, the scene is purely one-sided crushing. In particular, Bullock hit 4 consecutive three-pointers to directly break the Rockets.
After entering the rotation, Tate and Gordon led the team to play a brief period of excellent attack and defense, so that the Rockets could at least stabilize some situations and not completely end in the first quarter. But the Rockets still let the Lone Ranger cut 43 points in a single quarter, dug a huge pit of 20 points, and for the third time in the recent game, the opponent scored 40+ points in a single quarter, which shows how sparse the Rockets' defense is.
In the second quarter of the game, the Rockets ushered in one of the few counterattacks in this game, and the strength of the co-defense and rotation increased sharply to prevent the attack, and played a 10:0 attack wave within one and a half minutes, obviously the defense is the basic set that determines the performance of the Rockets on the field. But the beauty is ultimately a flash in the pan, the Lone Ranger is not soft after the substitution adjustment, even if the Rockets' defensive elasticity and strength increase, the Lone Ranger can still patiently run the opportunity to hit those shots.
The rocket's only bright spot may be the Green dryland plucking of the next person, a show of top dynamic talent. The Rockets' 60 points in the half wasn't low, and it was hard to accept that the Lone Ranger had hammered 80 points with a 60 percent shooting percentage and 12 three-pointers.
In the subsequent game, the Rockets were still the same, did not sit at home and should have the performance, the offense was jerky and the defense was scattered. The Rockets' wonderful games this season are not enough ability, enthusiasm to make up; and this game is obviously not both, the team's defense is like playing paper chess, the formation is in vain, can only prevent the opponent's first-hand breakthrough or blocking, a little shift of the ball defense will collapse, no discipline at all.
In the end, the Rockets lost to the Lone Ranger 106:130.
However, looking at the calm and self-assured appearance of the management and coaching seat, it must be that there is a scale in the heart and has its own plan. It's just that from the fan's point of view, even if the sword refers to the draft, such a game is really hot.
It is worth mentioning that Green averaged 15.6 points per game before this game, just 0.2 points from Wagner, who is the first in the rookie scoring list, and if he scored more than 22 points tonight, he could surpass.
Unfortunately, the Rocketfish and Bear Paws did not get, Green appeared in 24 minutes with only 8 shots, 4 of 8 shots, 12 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, missing the first place in the rookie scoring list.
