After several consecutive home games, the Houston Rockets will go on the road to challenge the Spurs on the morning of February 5, Beijing time. Not long ago, the two teams have met twice, the first game the Rockets won against the Spurs on the road, the second game the Rockets lost to the Spurs by 30 points at home, and the next third game, who can win between the two teams is really difficult to say. In fact, the state of the Rockets is not bad, after defeating the Cavaliers of the Eastern Conference, the morale of the Houston Rockets is high, as long as the level of this game is played, the Rockets will pick out the Spurs on the road, which should not be a problem.
In the victory over the Cavaliers, rocket rookie guard Jaylen Green performed well, he cut 21 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds in this game, although the shooting rate is not particularly high, but the all-around performance and the fourth quarter hit a key bottom corner three-pointer, or let Jaylen Green become one of the heroes of the rockets to win this game.
Getting 21+5+5 personal data also means that Jaylen Green set a new record in Rockets history - according to statistics, Jaylen Green has become the youngest player in Rockets history to get 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a single game, and when he got this data, Jaylen Green's age was 19 years and 358 days!
Interestingly, the second and third places in this data are also two newcomers to the Rockets, the second is the Rockets' big forward Kenjan Martin Jr., who got this set of data at 20 years and 119 days, while the Rockets' current main point guard Porter Jr., ranked No. 3, and he got this set of data at the age of 20 years and 336 days.
The Rockets' record is really not good enough, but the performance of Houston's young players is already on the right track. Jaylen Green is no less than the Cavaliers' star center Mobley in the showdown with the powerful Cavaliers, and Martin Jr. is also contributing his strength on the bench, he is also the first substitute on the Rockets No. 4 position, Porter Jr. does not need to exaggerate much, in recent games, Porter Jr.'s assists have increased significantly, the score has remained stable, and most importantly, his error data has remained "low" every game.
And the Rockets' Shen Jing, Green and Tate 3 people, also selected for this season's All-Star Rookie Game, when talking about the growth of rocket newcomers, coach Silas also has a deep feeling, he said that Stone chose the right person, which also shows that the Rockets have made some progress. In other words, the person Silas should be thankful for is the Rockets' general manager Raphael Stone, and it is the means of the Sgm-GM deal that poached Porter Jr., and also picked up two potential newcomers, Jaylen Green and Martin Jr. through the draft.
Maybe these young players have such and such deficiencies, but I have to admit that these players are always growing and changing, all they need is time, and the most important thing for the Rockets is patience and time. Silas is right, the Rockets have indeed made some progress, and Stone is at the helm of the Rockets' rebuilding to achieve initial results, and he is as indispensable as Silas.
