Before the All-Star Game, the Rockets played two games in a row, and yesterday's inseparable play with the Suns made me full of confidence in today's slightly weaker Clippers, looking forward to ending the losing streak from the Clippers.
Seeing Wood's comeback before the game, I was half cold, and it was not impossible to rest and rest, Schroeder continued to replace the absent Little Potter, and Gordon took a regular rotation to put Matthews on the starting line.0 The Rockets lost 31 points against the Clippers without much change in the overall lineup, although losing is a routine thing for the Rockets this season, but the comfort of the last game against the Suns is no longer there, Wood's comeback should be able to add some offense and some rebounding protection to the Rockets inside and outside, who knows that the Rockets lost 15 rebounds in the entire game facing Zubac and Harten's interior defense. You must know that in the last game against the Suns, Ayton and McGee's Overall Sun rebounds did not grab the Rockets, and the last game's sense of hard work and comfort was like a dream compared to today.
Looking at this game, although the game was lost miserably, Green did play well, which is also in line with our previous thinking, losing is not terrible, at least the newcomers have to play well. Green played 30 minutes today and had 21 points and 2 assists, 8-of-15 shooting and 5-of-10 three-pointers. After a period of hand adjustment, it slowly picked up on the offensive end, whether it was three points or a breakthrough, it was more decisive, and today scored 21 points but got the highest point in the team without free throws.
After entering February, Green's offensive efficiency has improved somewhat, with 20+ in 2 of the last 8 games, averaging 15 points per game in February, shooting 46% overall and 41% of three-pointers. Although this game is lost, it can still be seen that Green and Schroeder are still very comfortable to partner, and also have some deterrent power, which shows that Green's growth path still needs some old point guards to lead.
Secondly, it can be said that Wood, who came back from this game, played steadily as always. In fact, Wood played the No. 4 position is still good, shooting with one hand, but in the face of the real inside line, the play is called a hot eye, and even it is not defensive, and the rebounds can not grab a few. After the body is at a disadvantage, as long as the inside line encounters a strong beating, he will be afraid, and this is a bit unacceptable. To the inside line of Zheng'er Bajing, the partner can't get along, it really brings down the Rockets, and the transaction is only a matter of time.
Schroeder played not very well today, it is estimated that there are still physical problems, after all, just came to the Rockets, three games in a row, back-to-back plus starting, resulting in this game is not very good. However, since yesterday's game against the Suns, Schroeder's performance can still conquer some players in the team, from the offensive end, no matter who gets the ball, will be the first time to Give Schroeder to organize, by Schroeder to organize the attack.
And the defensive end Schroeder also behaved very sophisticated, from the last game against Paul can be seen, the Rockets guard basically sprayed to Paul to be educated, and Schroeder reduced a lot of opportunities to make mistakes, this game against the Clippers is the same, but today's Schroeder did not comb the offense clean, the shooting rate is one, the second is to play more chaotic, different positioning, holding the ball more.
Today a goose broadcast this game for free, this game I also saw from the beginning to the end, the overall look down, everyone in the offensive choice and offensive termination ability is very poor, coupled with the defense such as empty, seven consecutive losses have become reasonable.
At the end of the game, the All-Star was ushered in, and the biggest attraction was Green's dunk contest
Let's wait and see
