On February 18, Beijing time, the NBA regular season game continued, and in the latest game, the Rockets lost miserably to the Clippers, continuing their losing streak. The Rockets are back-to-back on the road to challenge the Clippers, and after playing such a wonderful game with the Suns yesterday, everyone is looking forward to the Rockets to continue to play well in today's game. But perhaps because of back-to-back fatigue and the ability of the players, the Rockets are still unable to compete with the Clippers, and have been behind since the first quarter, and it is not surprising that they eventually lost. And in this fiasco we have seen employees that we do not understand very well.
In this game, the Rockets rookie inside Shin Kyung's playing time is actually very embarrassing, after the third quarter, Shin Kyung's playing time is only 7 minutes, which is very unreasonable, after all, Shin Kyung is currently one of the rocket team's key players to cultivate, and he also has a better ability to dominate the ball on the court, but rocket coach Silas did not give him much playing time. Shen Jing finally played 14 minutes in this game, took 4 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, the overall performance was not good, compared to the game against the Sun, this game Shen Jing also exposed some of his shortcomings.
In this game, Shen Jing still exposed the shortcomings of his lack of strength, in the face of Haltenstein, Morris and Zubac and other very good internal and forward players, Shen Jing is still too immature, there is a significant gap in strength, so next we still hope that Shen Jing can work hard to improve his strength, and practice more three-point shooting, make himself more threatening on the offensive end, maybe next season we can see a more amazing Shen Jing.
Of course, the rocket's loss in this game is actually not because of Shen Jing, why the rocket will seriously collapse in the second half is actually related to Wood, and it can even be said that Wood is the key to the rocket's collapse. Wood returned to the starting lineup in this game, but instead of playing an exciting performance, he exposed his poor shooting choices and the shortcomings of defense that were easily out of position, which was vividly reflected in the first half of the third quarter. While it doesn't make sense to attribute the team's crush to one player, we still hope that Silas can have more playing time in the regular rotation time, after all, he is the future of the team.
