The NBA regular season continues, the West ushers in a strong and weak dialogue, and the Jazz sit at home to face the Rockets.
Before the game began, the Jazz ranked fourth in the West with five consecutive wins, and the Rockets suffered four consecutive losses, ranking first in the bottom of the West.
Therefore, the focus of this game is not the victory or defeat of the two teams, but the performance of rocket new signing Schroeder, which is his first game since joining the rockets.
Before the start of the game, Schroeder also gave a related interview after the pre-game training.
Schroeder admitted that he was very surprised to join the Rockets, because before the transaction was completed, he did not want to join the city, and he also talked to the team management, they decided to trade at the last minute.
Still, Schroeder said he's excited to join the Rockets, work with young players, and hope he can be a mentor to young players, help them improve every day, tell them what's important, and lead them to win.
It can only be said that the ideal is very full, the reality is very bone, Schroeder's debut on the Rockets did not get the opportunity to start, and the team also suffered a fiasco.
The Rockets quickly trailed by double-digit scores as soon as the game began, facing the powerful Jazz, and although the Rockets found a feel on the offensive end, they could not limit the Jazz's scoring at all.
As a result, by the end of the first quarter, the Rockets were already trailing by as many as 12 points.
In the second quarter, the Jazz continued their hot state, quickly playing an 11-0 attack wave, directly pulling the point difference to 20 points.
Although the Rockets performed well offensively in this quarter, scoring a total of 29 points, the defensive end was completely penetrated by the Jazz, allowing the opponent to score as many as 42 points, and had fallen behind by 25 points at the end of the half.
Easy to fight again, the Rockets' defense is still full of holes, fortunately, the Jazz's own feel slightly declined, at the end of the third quarter, the Rockets instead won back 3 points in a single quarter, and the Jazz led by 22 points into the final quarter.
Entering the final quarter of the scramble, the Rockets' performance was still tepid, and did not put the slightest pressure on the Jazz.
With 5 minutes left in the game, Rockets coach Silas gradually replaced the main players and announced that he would abandon the game.
In the end, the Jazz defeated the Rockets by 34 points at 135-101, extending the winning streak to six and giving the Rockets a five-game losing streak.
Because the Rockets did not put the slightest pressure on the Jazz, coupled with the lack of competitiveness of the game itself, we do not list the performance of the Jazz.
Speaking of the Performance of the Rockets, the first is the new signing Schroeder, who played 18 minutes off the bench, shot only 2 of 6, had 4 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and had a personal plus-minus of -20, ranking second from the bottom in the game.
According to the pre-game US media "Heavy" reporter Steve Bulpett reported, before the Rockets completed the transaction with the Green Army, the Lakers had provided the Green Army with a number of second-round signing + basic salary contract offers, but in the end, the Green Army chose to complete the transaction with the Rockets.
Coupled with the fact that the Lakers provided Schroeder with a 4-year, $84 million contract extension last season, but Schroeder refused, it can only be said that he rubbed shoulders with Schroeder twice, which is undoubtedly a blessing for the Lakers.
In addition to Schroeder's poor performance, the Rockets coaching staff's platooning is still confusing, and coach Silas also said after the game that he would improve Schroeder's playing time in the future.
The Rockets not only played without tactics to speak of, but even as a rebuilding team, there was not enough time for rookie players to train, Shen Jing played 16 minutes, Christopher only 9 minutes, and The Eye Green was 28 minutes.
What is even more confusing is that at the same time that the Rockets could not get a chance in the first round of the high-ranking show, the Rockets signed a losing draft with a 4-year contract.
According to Fox Sports' Houston-based correspondent Mark Berman, the Rockets signed point guard Deschen Knicks to a 4-year contract.
The 20-year-old, Who lost the draft last year, played in eight games for the Rockets on a two-way contract and averaged 3.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.
