Against the former Cavaliers, Mobley is already one of the best rookies so far (the latest ranking is second, the first Cunningham), and Green has already fallen out of the top ten due to his unstable play, the last game against the Cavaliers, the Rockets' Little Potter, Green, including the Cavaliers' Mobley have not played, today is the first time this season.
To be honest, Mobley played really well, it can be said that the Cavaliers played the best players, when the Rockets' height is not matching Mobley, Mobley is in the Rockets' inner line to give and take for the Cavaliers to catch up. Throughout the game, Mobley played 36 minutes, shooting 12 of 20 shots, 5 of 9 from the free throw line, contributing 29 points and 12 rebounds (including 6 frontcourt rebounds) of the big double-double data, it is worth mentioning that the 29 points in a single game also set a new career high.
Green is a little bit inferior to Mobley, but this game is also the best performance in recent times. In the last game against the Warriors, Green, who scored just 10 points on 2-of-9 shooting, has fallen out of the top ten of the rookie list. Facing the Cavaliers today can be said to have rebounded. In the first quarter, Green scored 11 points in a single quarter, showing a good offensive desire, and by the end of the first half, Green had already scored 14 points.
In addition to the efficient performance of the first quarter, the performance of the second quarter of a single quarter, the performance of 2 points in the third quarter did reverse too quickly, but after the fourth quarter of the game, Green played again, first shot three points, and then broke through the foul line to stand on the free throw line two free throws and two shots, stabilizing the situation for the team. In the last minute or so, Tate completed the steal, and Green and Porter Jr. completed an aerial relay to kill the game and set the Toyota Center on fire!
Green played for 35 minutes, got 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, 3 and 0 turnovers in three points, 3 and 0 turnovers in three points, plus or minus 0, although Mobley is still slightly better in terms of data and performance, but the matter has come to this point, the feeling is useless, as long as green's confidence is cultivated, I believe Green's ceiling is still very high!
And in the face of the old owner' little Porter is still efficient performance, the whole game out of 32 minutes, get 16 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists, three points 5 of 3, while only 2 mistakes, for the early season of the little Porter's error rate, now it is like a changed person, since the trouble, little Porter played harder and harder, no longer rely on shots, play thief methodically, not sticky at all, organize the attack to catch.
In the final quarter against the Cavaliers, Porter Jr. played without mercy, and in the last moment, he scored consecutive points to kill the Cavaliers' hope of counterattack, and took off directly against Love's three-pointer, so who can not love Little Potter!!
I rarely write about Wood recently, but I think Wood will go before the deal deadline, so I don't want to write much, but Wood has also experienced farce, and his performance has become more and more stable, facing the Cavaliers' three major centers, Wood can still achieve a stable output. In the fourth quarter, Wood took the lead in standing up and shooting a person in a row to stabilize the situation with 5 points, and the inside line of the Cavaliers can also be tough or projected, showing the multi-faceted nature of his offensive end.
Although the Rockets' trade rumors have always revolved around Wood, Theiss and others, but there is no suitable chip will not lead to a deal, especially Wood, the recent rumor of a deal with the Heat's Dunroe, who is a 5-year, 90 million shooters, the Rockets' internal demand should not be successful and we have Matthews, a super cost-effective player, so the Rockets will continue to look for a deal.
In addition to the starter, the bench trio also played quite well, the Rockets bench scored a total of 40 points, of which Shin Jing, Matthews and Martin Jr. combined to cut 35 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists, becoming a stable bench player for the Rockets.
Especially Shen Jing, the last game against the Warriors I said he was soft and slow, the game finally raised his eyebrows, played 24 minutes, got 9 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, and also connected with Gordon in the game, staged the top ten goals of the dunk Mobley, and the plus-minus value was the best +20 in the whole game.
Although it seems that Shin Kyung has only scored 9 points, he only has four shots, and if he can improve the number of shots to the level of Mobley and Green, I believe his score will not be low. Shin's performance was also the best consolation for rocket management after missing Out on Mobley.
Winning this game is also the End of the Rockets' losing streak in the new year, although the Rockets have no record needs, but have been losing, which is still a psychological blow to young players, such a victory is easier to boost morale, when seeing Green and Little Porter's line dunk, it is not difficult to see how important a victory is in exchange for the spirit!
