Today the Rockets at home to meet the visiting Pelicans, the opening rocket state is not very good, a single quarter behind the Pelicans 5 points, the second quarter back, the Rockets rely on the excellent play of the bench, complete the counterattack, a single quarter 33-23 lead over the Pelicans, the second half back, the Rockets once continued the fiery feel, the advantage opened to 11 points, but the name of the fire three collapses was not blown out, and finally was reversed by the Pelicans.
After this game, the Pelicans have quietly qualified for the playoffs to rank 10th in the West, approaching the ninth-place Lakers. In the absence of Cain on the team, it will be thought that the Pelicans will continue to sink this season, waiting for Cain's return, but it is Exactly Ingram who has carried the pelican flag this season and led the team forward.
Let's talk about the situation of suddenly not letting Gordon play, there are still 3 days before the trade deadline, according to the Rockets themselves, there have been two offers for Gordon in the first round of other teams, and they want to be a dozen picks, not the signing at the end of the first round.
The offer received by the Rockets should be the reason for not letting Gordon play, there are currently suns, Pelicans and other teams interested, if the transaction is determined to ensure that Gordon is healthy and not injured, the Pelicans still have a great chance of entering the playoffs this season, Gordon this season offensive and defensive ends have brought great bonuses to the Rockets, contributing to the quasi-kill.
Today also saw the news: Gordon said that he wants to bring a championship to the Rockets, seeing here makes me think of the 18 Rockets, and I also reviewed the Fire Warriors series during the New Year, it is still a pity, still sweaty palms. Gordon is also the last 1 in the Rockets of this 18 Rockets, and sincerely hopes to retire in the Rockets!
Compared to Gordon, I would prefer to trade Wood, although after Wood's farce, Wood's data brush is more stable and dares to play, but for Wood's positioning, it can be seen that it is not the No. 5 position, only the No. 4 position, and the Rockets have Garupa, Shin Kyoto can be trained, and it is no accident that this offseason, the Rockets will choose a center or No. 3 position, Tate is also 3 can be 4.
In addition to wood positioning problems, there is also the salary aspect, 23 years contract expiration, the current contract 3 years 4100, to the current Wood idea, a year 2500w-3000w is the ideal state, this money signed who can not, continue Wood what? So take advantage of the data to sell the most value, what do you think?
At present, green this season is estimated to be like this, Green looks like the development cycle is longer, the body is too thin, the offensive means are single, now look down, I think the rocket from a long-term point of view, correctIng Green's shooting action is correct.
In today's game, you can see that Green uses his personal ability to score under the basket when he switches between attack and defense, which is also his strength. However, in the attack of position warfare, Green's scoring ability is very bad, too single, breakthrough can not go in, shooting instability. If you practice shooting well, the scoring data will definitely improve significantly. After all, Green is now too single offensively, defense is not, and he still has a lot to improve. Played 32 minutes in this game, got 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, 4 of 4 three points, the overall score continued the last game state is OK, or bullish Green!
In addition to Green, Porter Jr. came on the court today, playing 33 minutes today with 8 points, 8 assists, 4 boards and 1 cap, plus and minus Rockets first +3, while everyone else is all negative, in the past period of time Porter transition to the No. 1 position is very successful. The most surprising thing is the defense, today there are several single defenses against Varland, there are several misplaced Varans have not played, this season Porter is the Rockets' defensive influence second only to Gordon's presence. Seeing that Porter's rookie contract should also expire, I don't know if the Rockets will renew his contract early.
The surprise is Christopher, I believe that christopher has already been recognized by the coaching staff and teammates for this performance. Christopher was very positive on the pitch and the potential was very high. More critically, Christopher has basically scored in double figures recently, and even the shooting rate can reach 50%, the state is very stable, and at present, it is the most stable performance of the Rockets' four rookies.
The current substitute lineup: Matthews, Martin Jr., Christopher absolutely no problem, the three of them together with Shen Jing, etc., can definitely play very exciting.
Finally, I would like to ask you: If Harden comes back, are you still welcome?
