NBA regular season, the Rockets away to challenge the Utah Jazz, the Rockets are the bottom team in the West, and the Jazz before this campaign is high in the West, is a westerly stronger who is eager to compete for the championship, the first in the league in offensive efficiency, although they lack Mitchell, the team's number one scorer, but the overall strength seems to be above the bottom team of the Rockets, but surprisingly, the Rockets were in the lead for most of the time after the opening, although the third quarter was overtaken by the Jazz and opened a 13-point lead, but the Rockets fought back madly at the end of the third quarter. And stay ahead of the curve in the fourth quarter.
With 21 seconds left in the game, Porter Jr. curled the ball to single Conley and retreated by 3 points, helping the Rockets to pull the point difference to 114-109, almost locking in the victory, and in the end, the Rockets narrowly won 116-11 on the road, exploding a big upset.
Comparison of data between the two sides
The Jazz scored in double figures with Five players, Gobert cutting 23 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, Bo Young cutting 29 points and 5 rebounds, Ingles 10 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Conley 17 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and substitute Clarkson cutting 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Although the Jazz lackEd Mitchell, the other teammates played well on the offensive end, but unfortunately they could not resist the opponent's multi-point blossom.
The Rockets also scored in double figures, With Gordon having 16 points and three rebounds, Tate 18 points, five rebounds and two assists, Wood 13 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists, Porter Jr. 15 points and 8 assists, and substitute Matthews contributed 23 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, while Jaylen Green performed poorly, with only 7 points and 5 rebounds.
Little Potter reproduces the big heart
Porter Jr. played 31 minutes, shooting 6-of-12, 3-of-6 from three-point range, shooting 50 percent from the field, attacking very efficiently, and also delivered 8 assists, which is a good tandem with the team's offense. Compared to the beginning of the season, Porter Jr.'s recent recovery has become more and more trusted by Silas. With 21 seconds left in the final quarter, the 3-point winning score once again reflects his big heart attribute, which may be an indispensable element for Porter Jr. to become the rocket's future core player. Porter Jr. has hit a big heart goal more than once this season, and it's the best reward for the Rockets' trust in him as he grows in the direction the Rockets management expects.
It was embarrassing that Jaylen Green was abandoned at the end of the quarter
Although the Rockets won, Jaylen Green looked a little embarrassed because he was abandoned by Silas throughout the fourth quarter, and after playing 6 minutes in the third quarter, Silas replaced him and has not appeared again since. Before Green came off, the Rockets were still behind, but after he left the court, the Rockets played a counterattack on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and finally achieved a counterattack. Jaylen Green's shots were only 3 of 13 and 4 of 4 from three points, which was very inefficient, while the plus-minus was only -14, ranking first in the bottom of the team.
Compared to the data, perhaps Green's role in this team is the most embarrassing place for him. As the team's most high-hope supernova, Green's performance this season has not been ideal and has not met expectations. In contrast, the future of cunningham and Tanhua Mobley has to worry.
Gordon performed efficiently and the value of the transaction increased
Gordon played an efficient performance again in this game, shooting 60% of 10, shooting 3 of 4 from three-point range, shooting 75%, as a veteran, Gordon is still very good on the offensive end, in this team that has entered the wobble, he has ceded the right to shoot to young players, and the number of shots this season has only reached a career low of 10.3, but this can not hide his role in this team. Of course, the most important thing is that when Gordon continues to play a stable and efficient performance, his trading value also increases. With the mid-season trade deadline approaching, it is believed that more playoff teams will be eager to introduce the veteran and contribute to the team's impact on the championship.
