The Rockets have not played in the past two days, and on the morning of February 1, Beijing time, the Houston Rockets will continue to face the Warriors at home. Not long ago, the two teams had a game at home for the Warriors, and the Warriors defeated the Rockets with a last-second shot by Stephen Curry. The next two teams meet again, the Rockets are very eager to win the Warriors at home, after all, Thompson has just returned to an unstable state, Curry's shooting has encountered big trouble, as long as the Rockets can play like the defense of the previous two teams, the Rockets home upset is still promising.
In preparation for this crucial game, the Rockets players, led by the coaching staff, used the rest day to train the whole team, and although Wall did not participate, most of the Rockets players participated in the training. Even The Rockets' center Shen Jing also received a single guidance from the Rockets' famous Olajuwon and learned a lot. Jaylen Green is not idle, and it is reported that Green did not leave the Rockets' training ground immediately after the rockets' training, but stayed on the court to continue shooting training.
Green's shooting percentage in recent games has not been high, and the previous 11 shooting rate has improved slightly, but before Green even had a 0-of-11 performance in a single game. To practice shooting to become a true ace guard for the Rockets, Jaylen Green has to cheer now. In fact, in addition to Jaylen Green, other Rockets players have also had shooting games. Veteran point guard DJ Augustine, 34, was also interviewed after the game, and he specifically mentioned the matter.
Augustine said he often practiced shooting with the rockets' young players and often played shooting games. But Augustine said it was boring that he could "hang" young players every time. He always let the young players catch up with some scores and then beat them completely. Augustine had been hidden in the snow many times before getting a chance to play against the Blazers, and in the previous game, Augustine didn't perform very well, with many mistakes and even low-level mistakes in dribbling and passing, which really shouldn't be.
But it has to be said that in addition to the instability of the state, Augustine's shooting rate is quite high. In particular, he shot 40.6 percent from three-point range this season, averaging 5.4 points, 2.2 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 34 games. Low shooting percentage has always been a "common disease" of Rockets players, whether it is Porter Jr. or Jaylen Green, if these players can improve the shooting rate, the Rockets' record will not be so bad.
Augustine's words seem to be a little joke on the young players, but in fact, he is also critical of the young players' lack of hard work in shooting training, after all, the 34-year-old veteran can practice shooting well, what reason do young players have not to work hard? This is probably DJ Augustine's irony of the rocket's young players. Young players want to compete, can only practice more shooting in the usual training off the court, not only can make Augustine "shut up", but also in the game to raise their eyebrows, but also let the Rockets win a few more games, is not a double eagle with one stone.
