On January 15, Beijing time, the Rockets lost to the Kings 114:126 on the road, and they did not win consecutively.
This game, is a game without defense, in both teams are extremely bad defense, both teams can play the opponent's small climax, the core of both teams will be poor defense, with the Rockets at the critical moment to release water, the Kings seized the opportunity to finally take away the game.
In this game, the Performance of the Rockets' unwillingness to win is very obvious, and it can be seen that the Rockets have worked hard to rebuild and lose, which can be seen from the rotation of the game.
This game is the first time since the Rockets abandoned the double interior lineup that they have used three centers at the same time in one game, and the rotation of using three centers is very strange.
The Rockets' starting center in the first quarter was Wood, the backup center was Shen Jing, Wood played extremely well in the first quarter, and made an important contribution to the team on the offensive end, but in the second quarter Wood did not get a minute of playing time, which was surprising, in the second quarter, Silas used a rotation of Shen Jing + Theis, and when the starter returned, Theis played the entire second quarter in place of Wood.
Then in the second half, Theis was completely abandoned, such a rotation is very extreme, on the one hand, this season's Rockets use the inside rotation is basically Wood starter, Shen Jing substitute, Theis was dropped out of the rotation, if Wood is injured to truce, Theis start, if Shin Kyung is injured to truce, the Rockets most of the time is playing five small lineups, Thesis's position on the team is very embarrassing.
However, in this game, Theis only got 8 minutes of playing time, and these 8 minutes of playing time were concentrated in the 2nd quarter, the second quarter completely abandoned Wood, the live camera has been shooting Wood's close-up at the end of the second quarter, the camera language is very obvious, if Wood is plagued by fouls, causing Silas not to dare to use Wood, but the second quarter of a minute of playing time does not give Wood will not be enough.
In this game, Porter, Green and Christopher all had a lot of ups and downs, made a lot of mistakes on the court, 5 minutes before the end of the game, Silas suddenly replaced Christopher, replaced Gordon, prompting the Rockets to be present in the final lineup for Porter, Green, Christopher, Tate and Wood, which at this time Gordon scored consecutive points, helping the Rockets to narrow the point difference to 9 points, Gordon is the best player in the Rockets' state, but also the most critical player for the team, at this stage, let Gordon digest the ball is the most correct choice, But Silas suddenly replaced Gordon with Christopher, you know, before Gordon stepped forward, Potter, Wood and Christopher made mistakes on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, such a substitution is incredible.
What is even more bizarre is that in the fourth quarter with 3 minutes left in the game, Silas replaced Christopher, replaced Gordon, in the decisive stage, Silas replaced Gordon very obviously, training Porter, Green and Christopher, the team focused on training young players, but when there were 3 minutes left in the game, they replaced Gordon, during the 2 minutes during this period, the Rockets fell from 9 points behind to nearly 20 points behind, if the Rockets in order to train young players, they should not be replaced by Gordon, but Silas replaced Gordon, I could see that Silas was also very hesitant.
In this game, the Rockets focus on cultivating Porter and Green ups and downs are very large, there are many holes in the defensive end, the offensive efficiency on the offensive end is very ups and downs, in the process of the Rockets' complete reconstruction, Green and Porter's growth seems to be very slow, for the cultivation of young players, as well as the team's winning, as the head coach Silas seems to be constantly swinging, which is the biggest problem in rebuilding the team.
