With 19 points and 14 rebounds, the Rockets rookie became the inside answer, the new core 9 assists activated Green, and the trade worked
The gap between the Rockets and the Suns is relatively large, coupled with the absence of Porter Jr. and Wood, the Rockets' starting lineup has changed, and Schroeder and Shin Kyung have made up for it. The first quarter of the game went faster than expected, with the Rockets playing tenaciously, taking a 5-point lead in the first quarter. The Suns may also be light enemies, the focus on the defensive end is not enough, which is a chance for the Rockets, Jaylen Green is in hot form, the outside line has three points and a flat frame of the air relay.
The Rockets played tougher in this game, taking the lead in the first three quarters of the game, and Paul was directly expelled. The Rockets played this game very smoothly, and without Wood's individual singles, the Rockets operated the ball more reasonably. The best Rockets played in this game is undoubtedly Shin Kyung, who did not suffer losses against Ayton, scoring 19 points and 14 rebounds in the whole game, and 3 of 4 from three-point range, showing his ability on the offensive end.
The Rockets bought Fernando before the trade deadline, but head coach Silas didn't trust him very much, and this game shows that Shen Jing will be reused in the Rockets' center position. Shen Jing's performance this season has been more ups and downs, and it was amazing at the beginning of the season, but then it fell into trouble. Facts have also proved that as long as you give Shen Jing playing time and tactical status, you can get rewards, and then the Rockets should focus more on cultivating Shen Jing, and the Rockets are now a defensive center on the inside line.
The last game of new signing Schroeder was very average, the deal is also considered a failure, Schroeder wants to stay with the Rockets to get a contract extension is still more difficult. However, this game played the starting Schroder explosion, he got 23 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists in the whole game, including 12 points in the third quarter, this game he revitalized the Rockets' offense, he did not take the ball to single, but to create opportunities for teammates, the first quarter of the game Green can get 10 points A large part of the reason is that Schroeder's running ball is very good.
Porter Jr. and Jaylen Green are actually still very awkward, and Porter Jr. did not revitalize the team's offensive ability, which led to the Rockets playing not a lot of cooperation in each game. The Rockets played the final moments of the game against the Suns, and if it weren't for Tate's mistake, the outcome might have been different. No matter how the Rockets trade, the player who focuses on training is Jaylen Green, who is also in good shape this game, scoring 17 points in the whole game and hitting a key three-pointer.
Although they lost to the Suns, the Rockets played very well, the best they have played in recent games, and a rebuilding team should not only need to be messed up, but more should play tactics. In fact, from the beginning of the season, the Rockets should find a real core guard, Schroeder can be more paired with Jaylen Green this season, which requires the boldness of head coach Silas, and reusing Schroeder and Shen Jing can help the Rockets rebuild.
