In a sense, Christopher's performance in this game is far stronger than Green's, and from the performance of this season, Christopher's performance is also stronger than Green.
From the offensive end, Christopher is the big core of the ball, its ability to digest the offense is too strong, when Christopher in the bench connection section, can digest a lot of ball rights, this is the Rockets' recent bench connection section of the main attack is weak, once replaced by the bench lineup is easy to collapse, Christopher's presence, prompting the Rockets to have a good scoring continuity in the bench connection section.
Christopher can play without the ball, as an outside three-point shooter, does not dominate the ball and handle the ball, such Christopher offensive end is very efficient, Christopher also has the ability to handle the ball and dominate the ball, Christopher has the ability to hold the ball and shoot three points, there is also the ability to shoot from mid-range, and more ability to break through the offensive frame, from this point of view, Christopher is very comprehensive on the offensive end, has the potential to become the core of the offense, and Christopher is very dare to play, very dare to stand up and digest the ball, which is green currently incomparable.
Christopher can bring vitality on the offensive end, his steals ability is excellent, good at playing offensive and defensive conversions, although the rhythm of the attack and the timing of the shot need to be strengthened, but once Christopher feels good, it is particularly easy to activate teammates, from this point of view, Christopher is the catalyst for the team's attack.
From the defensive end, Christopher's defensive enthusiasm and defensive awareness are excellent, but the lack of defensive skills, poor defensive position, and often fouled by opponents, which is caused by Christopher's lack of experience and actual combat, as a young player, basically make such mistakes.
However, Christopher's system is excellent, the defensive awareness is excellent, and the remaining skills and positions need time to accumulate precipitation, from this point of view, Christopher, although the defense is bad, but from the current point of view, is a better defensive player than Green, and Christopher's defensive training is worth looking forward to.
From the current point of view, the Rockets, as a rebuilding team, seem to focus on cultivating Porter, Wood, followed by Green, but Christopher and Shen Jing seem to be more worthy of training, Porter and Wood do not seem to be worth cultivating, and the Rockets need to adjust the direction in time to promote the team's team-building strategy not to deviate too far.
