In the first game against the Spurs in a five-game game, the Rockets not only made a good start, but also ended the team's 3-game losing streak, followed by this game against the Kings, because of the team's internal Shen Jing's comeback, everyone also has higher expectations for this game, hoping that the team can win the game again.
At the beginning of the game, the Rockets' offense was blossoming inside and outside, there were penalty area points and outside shots, the first quarter of the Rockets bombed 40 points, but also only let the opponent get 31 points, the first end of the Rockets got a 9-point lead, compared to the Rockets in the past period of play, against the Kings This is a fantastic start; but the Rockets' first quarter of the offensive did not continue to the second quarter, after Silas replaced the bench, the team's offense fell into a standstill, the Rockets lost to the Kings 14 points in the single quarter 20:34 At the end of the half, the Rockets actually trailed by 5 points into the second half;
The third quarter is easy to fight again, the two sides play is you and me, basically no defense, but the single quarter rocket is still 29:33 behind the opponent by 4 points, counting the point difference in the first half, the rocket 3 quarter end is already 9 points behind the opponent; the fourth quarter began, the rocket offense was completely stagnant, the king played a wave of offensive climax to expand the point difference to 19 points, I thought the game completely lost suspense, but with the team veteran Gordon's several three-point hits, the rocket blasted out a wave of offensive climax, once narrowed the point difference to 2 points, However, in the end, the team could not reverse, and lost to the Kings 114:123.
But in fact, the Rockets are not without a chance to win this game today, after being overtaken by the Kings in the first half of the game, Green once reversed the point difference with his attack on the penalty area, but at this time, Silas replaced the fiery Green, which gave the King another chance to breathe. And in the closing stages of the first half, Silas put up a small lineup with Martin Jr. as the center, and in just 2 minutes, the Rockets not only lost the lead, but also let the opponent overtake into the second half. In the fourth quarter, after Gordon narrowed the point difference to 2 points with a few three-pointers, the Rockets could have been a drumbeat, but what was unexpected was that Silas actually chose to change his hand with the fiery Gordon, and then the Kings have been firmly in their hands, making the game completely lost suspense.
Judging from the rotation of silas in this game, the Rockets are completely deliberately messing up, and whoever scores at the critical time will replace whoever is wrong, which is not a deliberate mess. Of course, Silas is not incomprehensible in doing this, after all, the purpose of the Rockets this season is not to win, but to get the pick. Up to now, the Rockets' record is 12 wins and 31 losses, although it ranks first in the West, but it is only in the third from the bottom of 30 teams, and in the West, the Thunder have only won two more games than the Rockets, and the Spurs have a wave of 5 consecutive losses. After all, only by firmly locking the bottom three positions in the league can the Rockets have the greatest chance of winning the lottery.
