Problems that arose during this period:

What concept? Green is a talented person, but at this stage, his personal offensive skills need to be rounded, especially the final finishing ability needs to be improved; in addition, he is still lacking in holding the ball, often appearing "people are faster than the ball" phenomenon, resulting in frequent personal errors; coupled with a whim such as a wave of singles in the middle of the second quarter, hurting the unity of the team, so Silas only from the second half of the game to "seize power" for him little by little, so that the Rockets offense returned to team mode, the team's top priority to win.
