Compared with the sleepwalking performance in the previous three games, the Rockets' home game against the Blazers, Jaylen Green, as the team's starting guard, did well in this game. Although Jaylen Green's form is not particularly good in terms of feel, he has only 4 shots in 11 shots in 33 minutes, and only 25% of the three-point shooting rate, but Jaylen Green's score in this game is not bad, and the data of 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists is eye-catching.
Green hasn't been in such a well-rounded form in a long time, and he not only hit a crucial three-pointer in the fourth quarter of this game, but even made Wood easy to dunk with multiple beautiful assists. The Rockets were able to compete with the Blazers in the end, and Jaylen Green was instrumental. Don't look at the Rockets' failure to win this game, but Rockets coach Silas is still very satisfied with the performance of the players, he said that the Rockets have a lot more fighting spirit than the previous game lost to the Spurs.
Rockets' Wood and Silas generals also named Jaylen Green, who said that Jaylen Green spent a lot of time practicing his shots and he was definitely getting better. In this game, Jaylen Green did a good job defending the opposing ball carrier, and also shot 9 free throws, in addition to shooting, he can also use other ways to influence the game.
In addition, the Rockets' interior core Christian Wood also specifically mentioned his little brother Jaylen Green after this game, Wood ate Green's "feeding cake" many times in this game, and in the 21-point data of the whole game, the score through Green's assist was about 10 points. Wood was deeply touched by Jaylen Green's "transition" in this game, saying: "When he plays like that aggressively, he has a hard time being defended. Because his first step was too fast. ”
Although Jaylen Green is not strong enough and has poor confrontation ability, his advantage is also that he is light in weight and fast, especially the speed of the first step, which is first-class in the entire NBA. Although Jaylen Green did not show a first-class shooting rate in this game, he frequently assisted his teammates, frequently attacked the basket to create free throw opportunities, and hit 7 of 9 free throws, which is the "new skill" that Jaylen Green prepared for poor shooting.
I don't know if you noticed, Jaylen Green's rebounding ability has also improved recently, he not only took off the key frontcourt rebounds several times in previous games, but also in the protection of backcourt rebounds, Jaylen Green is also more and more experienced. Throwing, passing, and bursting can all be done, and Jaylen Green is moving in the direction of an all-around defender.
