In this game against the Kings, the Rockets were not able to continue the momentum of the previous game against the Spurs, and the Rockets finally lost to the Kings 114:126.
In fact, for the Rockets, losing the game is not unacceptable, after all, the Rockets are in the process of rebuilding, the most important strategic goal is to cultivate young players, especially in last year's draft picks, Jaylen Green, but unfortunately, this game Green performed quite badly, the whole game played 32 minutes to get 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, although the score was double-digit, but the offensive efficiency was unbearable, shooting 5 of 18, 6 of 3 points, plus and minus -15 is also the lowest in the team.
However, this game is not bad, statistics, the past 7 games, Green's shooting rate of 38.4%, three-point shooting rate of 21.9%, effective shooting rate of only 43.2%, the offensive end is properly a blacksmith, the defensive end is still a big black hole. In these 7 games, Green is like back to the beginning of the season. In fact, after Green's return from injury, he had a good performance, playing 7 of 14 against the Pacers, 6 of 9 three-pointers, 8 of 16 against the Lakers, 4 of 9 of three points, 5 of 11 against the Heat, 2 of 2 of 7 three-pointers, 6 of 13 against the Nuggets, 5 of 8 of three-pointers, 29 points, 29 points per game in 29.7 minutes per game, 22.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals, plus 48% shooting percentage and 51.5% three-point shooting rate. Compared to the last 7 games, Green is simply a heaven and an underground.
Green's struggle makes fans doubt him again, to know that Green's performance during this time is even worse than his little brother Christopher, in the past 7 games, although Christopher averaged only 10.3 points per game, his playing time was only 20 minutes, and the average number of shots per game was only 8, including 48.2% shooting, 32% three-point shooting, and 54% effective shooting, while Green averaged 30 minutes per game in these 7 games, and the number of shots reached 13, It is conceivable that if Christopher had Green's tactical position on the team, what kind of data he would play, not to mention that Christopher had better defensive ability than Green.
After Christopher entered the rotation to play the performance, many fans think that he may have a higher ceiling than Green, it is undeniable that Green has a very good talent, but Green is now a rough, whether it is holding the ball, offense, defense, etc. need to be cultivated little by little to develop, and Christopher has shown his potential at both ends of the attack and defense, and also has a certain talent in organizing tandem teams, according to NBA reporters, the Rockets have developed a special training plan for him, The purpose was to train him to be a Holliday in Hugh City, but it was really hard to say what Green would look like in the future.
