Beijing time on January 13, the NBA regular season continues, today the Spurs sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Rockets, the former Southwest Derby early is a matter of human rights, the two teams are now led by the youth army, in general, the Spurs are better teams, after all, they have a good team system, but the Rockets and veteran Gordon, a young player contest let him successfully spoil the game, and finally led the team to beat the Spurs 128-124.
The Spurs played team basketball that they were good at, Murray shot 12 of 26 from the field, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 32 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals, and seven players on the team scored in double figures under his tandem: Poltel had 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Lonnie Walker 11 points and 2 rebounds, Diop 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Kelden Johnson 18 points and 5 rebounds, Vassell 12 points and 5 rebounds, Forbes 21 points and 2 rebounds.
What's the problem with the 7-man doubles not being able to win against the opponent? Popovich talked about the loss after the game, and he said with great dissatisfaction: "We did not lack effort, but made a lot of mistakes, we lost 39 points in the first quarter, it is difficult to climb out of the pit after going through the road trip", it is true that the Spurs' defense was not good enough in the game, and it may be that the past period of road trips has made the Spurs players really tired.
In the face of the opponent multi-player scoring double-double can also win the game, the Rockets players today's efforts are commendable, this campaign they started all five people scored in double figures, Wood scored 23 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals on 9-of-17 shooting, Jaylen Green played inefficiently, 14 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-14 shooting, Jeshaun Tate scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and the team won Gordon and Potter are the biggest contributors.
Porter hit two three-pointers in key moments to kill the game, he shot 6 of 10, 3 of 5 three-pointers got 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Gordon played more efficiently, 9 of 10 shots, 6 of 7 three-pointers, 31 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, Gordon taught the young Spurs a lesson through the breakthrough, his killing really made the young players of the Spurs do not know how to cope, this campaign Gordon made 10 free throws.
Previously, the Rockets had won 6 consecutive wins, and the player who helped the Rockets the most during this time was Gordon, for which the Rockets reduced Gordon's playing time and ball rights, but did not expect to control Gordon today, and the result was that he led the team to win, this season Gordon's state is very good, let him play so badly The Rockets have to win a few more games, for the rebuilding team, losing is winning.
In the current situation, the Rockets may seize the opportunity to send Gordon away, after the media rumors that a number of playoff teams are interested in getting Gordon, and the Rockets must also want to exchange Gordon for a suitable rebuilding chip, for now, Gordon can exchange for a young player with potential, and get a protected first-round pick, which is a profit for the Rockets.
Today Silas made a good adjustment, he staggered the playing time of Jaylen Green and Porter, so that Green and Porter can get the ball to play, the Rockets still have to focus on cultivating Jaylen Green, it is time to give him more opportunities to make mistakes, speaking of this, what do you want to say about the current Spurs and Rockets?
