After 10 games on the bench, the Rockets shooter returned with 21 points to suppress Green, and Silas defended the table
There is no suspense, the Rockets are another loss, and the most miserable of the rebuilding teams this season is undoubtedly the Rockets, not only Wall, who has a $40 million contract, but also the rookie Jaylen Green who has not played very well. Whether it is the Magic, thunder, these teams have a bad record, but the team's young people have shown their potential, the Rockets are no progress in the trade, in the development of young players have not kept pace, it can be said that the rebuilding started failure.
In the loss to the Blazers, head coach Silas changed the starting lineup, and Matthews, who came on as a substitute for 10 games, entered the starting lineup in this game, and he also played very well and scored 21 points. It is the most stable point on the Rockets' outside line, Matthews' performance on the court has suppressed Green, and although Matthews' defense is a relatively large shortcoming, it is actually very cost-effective compared to his annual salary of $2 million.
Matthews is another inspirational model for the Rockets this season, and at the beginning of the season, he was still a marginal player, and gradually became the most dynamic player on the Rockets. Jaylen Green has some vulgar recovery after three downturns, but the efficiency is still relatively low, only 4 of 11 shots, and the post-match press conference coach Silas is still defending him that Green has been contacting his jump shots, he will be fine, but it is clear that Jaylen Green's shots have not improved, just more attacks on the basket.
Another rookie, Christopher, scored 11 points in this game to continue to perform more efficiently, martin Jr. also scored 17 points, and the rocket's young players can not have a continuous play. Jaylen Green has averaged 14.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists so far this season, shooting just 37.3 percent from the field and 29 percent from three-point range, making him the least efficient of any rookie lineup, and the Rockets are still giving him some chances.
The Rockets used a total of 10 rotation players in the losing to the Trail Blazers, and neither Brooks nor Augustine's bench guards scored points in this game. Their prospects for the Rockets are not very clear, and it is difficult to re-enter the team's rotation. The Rockets' current rebuilding ideas are not very clear, the young people are not well trained, there is no suitable chip for the trade, according to the current situation, the Rockets can only hope for the draft meeting after the end of the season, and the team needs to choose a talented player on the front.
Next, the Rockets will play against the Cavaliers, this game is more interesting, the eye of Jaylen Green and Tanhua Mobley direct dialogue, according to the current strength of the team, the Rockets want to defeat the Cavaliers is very difficult. Jaylen Green's personal play is very critical, he needs to improve his form as soon as possible, shooting has never found a way to feel that his threat on the offensive end is a lot lower, and to make the opponent's defense more targeted, the Rockets will be a wave of losing streaks.
