As a rookie, Jaylen Green, has not been too high in his touch and shooting rate recently. The Rockets have also lost in the last 3 games, defense is the main reason for the Rockets' loss, but Jaylen Green's feel is better, at least the Rockets and the Warriors game, Houston is likely to win, after all, at that time the Rockets are not far from ending the game, if it is not Curry's kill, the last laugh should be the Rockets.
The 19-year-old Jaylen Green also knows he's dragging down the Rockets, but it doesn't matter, because the Rockets' goal is to mess up this season and train rookies in the hope of playing again next season. The Rockets will basically get a high-pick first-round pick next season, and with young players like Jaylen Green, Porter Jr., Tate, Shinkin, and Christopher in the game, the record should be better than this season.
The biggest problem facing the Rockets now is naturally Jaylen Green's state. Compared with the rookie players such as Mobley, Barnes and Cunningham, Jaylen Green's performance in recent days is obviously much inferior. But in the previous Rockets game against the Trail Blazers, Jaylen Green seemed to find some feelings, not only cutting 17 points, but also giving up 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
The performance of 4 of 11 in the whole game is also justified. Beijing time on January 31, yesterday and today, the Rockets are not a game, the next game Rockets will be on the morning of February 1, Beijing time, and the Golden State Warriors for a showdown, the Rockets are still home. In this game, the Rockets definitely want to repay the "one-arrow revenge" of the previous two-point loss to the Warriors, but how Jaylen Green feels directly determines the success or failure of the Rockets.
Today, the Rockets trained the whole team under Silas, and after the training, Jaylen Green did not leave the stadium directly, but chose to stay and practice shooting. We know that Jaylen Green's first task now is to raise his shooting rate, and only by practicing more shooting outside the game and practicing from the basic skills can he succeed. The 19-year-old Green is extremely malleable, and now he is trying to change the shape of his shooting hand, although there are some ups and downs, but I believe he will always adapt.
In fact, today's training is not Green's first "additional training". On the 26th four days ago, after the Rockets lost 30 points at home to the Spurs, the underperforming Green also chose to stay and practice shooting, which led to the recovery of the hand against the Blazers. It is worth noting that the current Rockets general manager Rafael Stone also watched the Rockets players train today, and while Green stayed behind to practice, Stone had been quietly observing Green's every move from a long distance.
Although Green looks like a "parallel cargo leader", his diligence and self-discipline are also at the top level among rookie players. The 19-year-old Green is only temporarily unaccustomed to the NBA, as Silas said, after 2-3 years Green has increased his confrontation ability and increased his weight, he will inevitably succeed. Looking at Jaylen Green's diligent and disciplined performance, we know that Green's ups and downs in the game are only temporary, and in the long run, he is still the first core cornerstone of the Rockets' future reconstruction.
