The NBA regular season continues, with the Rockets challenging the Jazz on the road. The Rockets completed their revenge in the last game, but the team remained at the bottom of the West. The Jazz lost to the Lakers and slipped to fourth in the West. Mitchell was absent for the match due to concussion agreement. In the end, rockets beat the Jazz, achieving 2 consecutive wins while giving the opponent 2 consecutive defeats.
After revenge on the King on January 17, Beijing time, the Rockets today defeated the Jazz to win two straight. It was the Rockets' first straight win since their seven-game winning streak that ended dec. 11. In the last four games, they have won three. In the last five away games, they have won four.
At present, Jaylen Green is not a key factor in determining whether the Rockets can win, the body is too bad, don't say what possession is given to Green, he does not have the body to play the core of the ball. And Green can't find the basket at all, and the breakthrough only relies on the speed advantage, no disguise, and the technology of changing the rhythm; in fact, the performance of Gordon and other role players is the barometer of whether the Rockets can win at present.
The two consecutive wins are certainly gratifying, and it also proves that at this stage, the Rockets have improved in some places. Looking closely, it's just that Gordon has the will to end the losing streak, Matthews is back in form, and the rest of the players are struggling. But what should be solved is still the same as the old way, such as no tactics, sharing the ball difference, internal defense, outside attack intermittently, and rookie training is basically standing still. Stone didn't care, though, and he's been working to improve his squad talent, bringing in a superstar to speed up the rebuilding of the team. According to prominent NBA reporter Keith Pompey, a source revealed that the Houston Rockets led the battle for Simmons.
Although the projection ability is insufficient, the offensive means are too single, but it cannot be ignored that Simmons has both the delicate technology of the backcourt players, as well as the strength and momentum of the front players, the strong assault ability, while the individual singles, the basketball vision is beyond the average player, the passing is quite accurate, from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, which is the type of player that the Houston Rockets lack; even if the Rockets return to the championship in the future, Simmons has also played a crucial tactical effect and is an important member of the team's future.
