Not long ago, rocket player Jaylen Green, who was no. 7 on the NBA rookie list, really fell to the bottom in the last 3 games, the rocket team first won the Jazz and then lost to the Warriors and Spurs in the last 3 games, Jaylen Green is the starter, but look at his performance on the offensive end of 3 games: against the Jazz only 3 of 13 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers; against the Warriors Green 11 shots 0, only rely on free throws to win 3 points; in the game with the Spurs, the Rockets lost 30 points, Green shot just 3-of-16 from 32 minutes and 1-of-8 from three-point range, contributing seven points and four rebounds.
Green's shooting percentage in 3 games is even worse than that of amateur players, he shot a total of 40 times, only hit 6 of them, and conceded 34 goals! But if Jaylen Green's shooting percentage can be more normal, the Rockets will not lose to the Spurs at home, and they will not be killed by Curry in the away game against the Warriors. There is a saying that Jaylen Green should be the most watery high-ranking rookie of the year, seeing That Mobley, Cunningham, Barnes and even Cuminga are getting better and better, how does Jaylen Green feel?
Some people have compared Green to the Grizzlies' top-notch parallel center Tabit, but we have to say that it is too early to define Green. Tabit proved himself really bad after playing for a few seasons with the Grizzlies, and even if he was traded to the Rockets, Tabit was quickly discarded. But this is not the case with Green, he has had a highlight performance in the game, but he is in a slump now, and I believe that it will not be long before he can return to normal levels.
Silas also said that don't look at Green's hand feels bad, but his other skills have become stronger. It's true that the self-disciplined Green didn't perform well, but he wasn't idle after the Rockets' game against the Spurs, with sources pointing out that Green stayed on the court alone after this game to practice his weakness - shooting. In fact, we can see that Green's problem shooting is only one aspect, his physical aspect and playing style are more problems, and the bad shooting feel is only one aspect.
First of all, Green's basket is not accurate, so he can only break through the inside line, but when encountering a team with a big center sitting under the basket, Green always has difficulty scoring with a breakthrough, the reason is that he is too thin, there is no confrontation, the opposing defender slightly touches him, Green's movements are immediately deformed, and it is not a deterrent at all. In addition to practicing shooting, the most important thing Jaylen Green should do is to increase muscle and weight, although this will sacrifice some speed, but it is absolutely useful.
Remember a little over a month ago, Rockets coach Silas said he thought all Green needed to do was be "stronger"! Silas further said green, who is only 19, needs to get stronger in the coming years and his presence will grow stronger as his physical condition improves. At present, the Rockets' physical training coach has already arranged a plan for Green. But as Silas said, Green can't get stronger in a short period of time, it takes a long time, and only with the improvement of physical confrontation ability can Jaylen Green have more tactical status and become less desperate in the game.
