On February 23, Beijing time, during the recent All-Star Game, the teams did not have a game task. The Houston Rockets have 3 days to go on, and when they wait 3 days later on the morning of the 26th, the Rockets will assemble to go to Orlando to challenge the Magic. Jaylen Green and Sargus tied for 10th place in the latest rookie list, and although both are high-ranking rookies, they are far inferior to the Cavaliers' Mobley and pistons Cunningham.
The dialogue between Jaylen Green and Jaylen Saggers is still quite exciting. During the Days of All-Star Weekend, Jaylen Green has not been idle, he rushed to Cleveland with teammates Christopher, Tate and Shen Jing after the Rockets and Clippers games, and participated in the All-Star Rookie Challenge, and Green and TOEFL also participated in the dunk contest together, and the result is not much to say.
Now that the All-Star Game is over and the players are starting their own short vacations, what is Jaylen Green doing? He didn't go on a beach vacation like Shin Kyung, nor did he put himself on the training ground to increase muscle strength, and in the live broadcast on social media, we saw the figure of the 19-year-old Rockets newcomer. In the screenshot of the live broadcast, we see Jaylen Green, only to see him holding a handful of banknotes, smiling quite happily in front of the live camera, looking like he is showing off his wealth.
After the Rockets removed Jaylen Green with a pick-up last summer, Fertitta gave Jaylen Green a four-year, $40.81 million rookie contract. Compared to the average NBA star, the contract in the early 40 million is not much, but compared with many rookie players, Jaylen Green's contract is at the top level. Now that Green has money and is a titular "success," he's not that good at rocket games.
Green has played 43 games for the Rockets this season, averaging 14.6 points, 2.3 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 30.4 minutes per game, shooting 38.7%, 31.1% and 81.8% from three fields, compared to other rookie players, Jaylen Green's average points per game is not low, and even among all rookies this season, Green's average is in the top few points per game. However, in the offensive and defensive performance and personal efficiency of the game, Green is far inferior to rookies such as Mobley, Gidy, cunningham and so on.
What Green needs is to practice more strength, increase weight and confrontation in his usual training, but the few days of rest that are hard to get, Jaylen Green uses it to live show off his wealth, which is really unable to support Ah Dou. It's okay not to train, it's okay to rest well, but Jaylen Green, who is more and more like an "internet celebrity player", spends a lot of time on live broadcasting, and I don't know how the Rockets management will feel when they see jaylen Green like this.
Seeing the detective center Mobley who has come to play this season and is about to lead the team into the playoffs, seeing the Pistons' stable backcourt core Cunningham, seeing the new triple-double Mr. Gidy, and looking at the Rockets' Jaylen Green, I believe that the Rockets fans must have the feeling of "choosing the wrong person".
