19+4 hit a new career high, the Rockets rookie hit the main force, and the list was excluded by 2 "big guys"
"The Rockets game doesn't have to be watched, wake up to another fiasco", this is a recent joke by many Rockets fans, and the Rockets have undoubtedly lost again in the game against the Timberwolves. The team exposed a lot of problems in this game, and the Rockets' best performance was undoubtedly the 24th show Christopher, who had 19 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists on 8-of-13 shooting in the game, and scored 12 points in the second quarter, not brushed points in garbage time.
The 19 points is also a career high for Christopher, who has been an underrated player and at the start of the season head coach Silas would rather use some fringe players than give him a chance. Recently, Silas has started using Christopher, and in fact, the effect is also very good, his shooting, breakthrough, passing and defense are at the top of the Rockets. The rookie's draft pick is just a threshold, and it really needs the players to play themselves, and Christopher actually has a chance to impact the starters.
The Rockets' current starting number one is Porter Jr., and although the previous game was a three-point shootout, it did not hide his problems. Against the Timberwolves, Porter Jr. scored just nine points on 3-of-10 shooting, and his last six games were just 22 points in games late last year. The rest of the game was very dismal, his personal performance was generally good, the problem was that it affected the performance of the two rookies Christopher and Jaylen Green, especially for Green, who is now back in an awkward situation.
Jaylen Green scored just 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting against the Timberwolves, and only made eight shots in the previous game. Two of the team's "big guys" Porter Jr. and Wood sidelined Jaylen Green in the ball, wood is the highest average in points and rebounds per game, so he has the first shot, as an inside player often from the outside line to start singles. Wood not only influenced Jaylen Green's play, but more importantly, affected the Rockets' overall tactics.
Because He is the number one, Porter Jr. has a lot of ball rights, and it seems that there are not many shots, in fact, he has also affected the play of his teammates. It's normal for the Rockets to face such difficulties as a rebuilding team, and all the team needs to do now is get the team back on track as quickly as possible. Avoiding a situation where Jaylen Green's talent was wasted, in fact giving Jaylen Green enough shot power, he was able to help the Rockets on the offensive end, and the problem of Green's shooting rights was not just exposed in a game.
Head coach Silas hit the nail on the head, saying the fans didn't play hard enough and everyone didn't support each other. There is no doubt that Silas also saw the current situation of the Rockets, the players are fighting their own battles, and after taking the ball, they are singles themselves, resulting in some young players not getting a chance. The Rockets now want to make Jaylen Green a key development player, the Rockets will play against the Philadelphia 76ers tomorrow, this game the Rockets are likely to lose, the focus is also to see whether Jaylen Green's tactical status can be improved.
