On February 3, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Rockets beat the Cavaliers 115-104, ending an 11-game losing streak at home. In this game, the leader Jaylen Green and Tanhua Lang Mobley both played well, the former had 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 6-of-13 shooting, while 0 turnovers, and the latter scored a career-high 29 points.
In the latest rookie list officially released by the NBA, the Pistons' champion Lang Cunningham has risen to the top of the list, and Tanhua Lang Mobley is also at the second place, but Jaylen Green, who is the eye of the list, is very embarrassed and actually fell out of the top 10 of the rookie list.
Before the start of the season, Jaylen Green was seen as the number one favourite for the best rookie. So far in the season, Jaylen Green can average 14.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, on the data is actually not bad among rookie players, but his stability is very poor, and there will be 2.3 mistakes per game, so Jaylen Green is certainly very potential, but there is obviously a gap with the expectations of the outside world, and even many people feel that the Rockets chose Jaylen Green to choose the wrong person.
However, in this game, perhaps to prove himself in front of his opponents, Jaylen Green played extremely well, after the opening he scored 5 points in a row, and then in the case of being fouled by Mobley, a dragon changed hands to layup to play 2+1. In the first quarter, he scored 11 points alone.
In the following game, Jaylen Green did not shoot randomly because of the good hand in the first quarter, but played extremely calmly and was willing to share the ball with his teammates. At the last moment of the game, it was Jaylen Green who pushed a quick attack to help Fly Little Potter dunk, completely locking the victory for the Rockets.
Although Mobley played well in this game, Jaylen Green proved that his talent was not worth it. He fell out of the top 10 of the rookie list, which is indeed a bit incomprehensible, and the Rockets' statement that they looked away is too early to draw conclusions.
