The Rockets suffered a two-game losing streak to the Spurs by 30 points in a 104-134 home defeat. In this game, the Rockets' top green performance is crotch, he started the game with 31 minutes and 51 seconds, 3 of 16 shooting, 1 of 8 three-pointers, only 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, in the game he had a plus-minus of -12, a very bad performance. The Rockets lost at home to the Spurs, and Jaylen Green's sluggish performances need to take some responsibility.
In the last three games, Jaylen Green's play can be described as very sluggish, he has continuously pulled his crotch. In previous games against the Jazz, he scored only 7 points on 3-of-13 shooting, while against the Warriors, Jaylen Green scored only 3 points on 0-of-11 shooting. Facing the Spurs in this campaign, he once again had a performance of 7 points on 3-of-16 shooting, and his personal performance can be described as very bad.
In the past three games, Jaylen Green has shot 6-of-40 from the field and 2-of-17 from three-point range, and he has scored only 17 points in all three games, shooting 15 percent from the field and 11.8 percent from three-point range. Such a performance is very bad for a leader and unacceptable.
As a rookie, it's normal for Jaylen Green to play crotch pull at the start of the season because it takes a while to get used to the rhythm and intensity of the NBA' game, and there needs to be a transition. But now that it's the second half of the new season, Jaylen Green, as the leader, still can't adapt to the strength and rhythm of the league in the game, and it is difficult to accept such a crotch-pulling performance in the game.
Judging from the performance in the game, Jaylen Green has not improved much compared to the beginning of the season, his shooting choices are still not reasonable enough, and the shooting ability is not strong, and when he has the opportunity, he cannot hit. Whether it's outside three-point shooting, mid-range shooting, or a break-through with the ball, Jaylen Green didn't play well in these areas. It can be said that so far in the new season, Jaylen Green's performance has been disappointing, he still has not found his own rhythm of the game, showing his talent.
And let's take a look at the Pistons' champion Cunningham, compared to Jaylen Green's incompatibility, Cunningham has begun to cash out his talent in the league. In the past three games, Cunningham has received 34+8+8, 18+5+8 and 25+6+5 data, and in the game against the Nuggets, his 34-point performance has also created a new single-game scoring record, and now Cunningham has experienced the discomfort at the beginning of the season, he has played better and better, and gradually became the new leader of the Pistons. Jaylen Green, on the other hand, is still a long way from becoming the leader of the Rockets.
It is undeniable that through the performance of the two players in the past period of time in the game, Cunningham has opened up the gap with Jaylen Green, and this gap is likely to widen. Cunningham is now getting better and has fully integrated into the NBA's offensive and defensive rhythms, while Jaylen Green is still adapting and is in a struggling situation. As the players selected in the first two picks of the same year, the outside world thinks that they will be the enemy of life, but from the current point of view, Cunningham has been ahead and is getting farther and farther, and Jaylen Green is already behind and still struggling in place compared to Cunningham.
