In the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, the Rockets' list show Green made people laugh, and there were many jokes about him on the Internet, but this did not seem to have any impact on him, in the game against the Magic, although the team was not able to end the losing streak in the end, but in this game, the Rockets' list show not only played a bright data, but also made significant progress on the court.
Let's take a look at the data against the Magic, the full game of 30 and a half points handed over 23 points, 5 boards, 4 steals and 2 assists of the full data, including 9 of 16 shots, 9 of 3 points, 1 of 2 free throws, including the highest score in the team. And this is also his second consecutive 20+ statistics, in the pre-All-Star game against the Clippers he bombed 21 points, 2 assists and 1 steal data, in the offensive efficiency is also good, shooting 8 of 15, 5 of 10 three-pointers. From the data of these two games, it can be seen that although the two games are almost a week apart, Green has not experienced a decline in status, and if you look at the games in February, it can be said that Green's state is an upward trend.
As we all know, Green in January because of the change of shooting posture, the state is very poor, and even played 11 in a game against the Warriors 0 performance, in January he averaged 13 points per game, shooting 32.8%, three-point shooting rate of 23.7%, true shooting rate of 45.7%, the offensive state is quite poor, for Green's depressed fans are also questioned, but from the February game, he has come out of the slump state, In February, Green averaged 17 points, 2.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 9 games, including 48% from the field, 42% from three-point range and 61% from the field. The comparison can be seen that the Rockets' list has gradually entered a better state on the offensive end.
In fact, he has made a lot of progress on the defensive end, in the game you can see that he is more focused in the game, more the ball defense, the defense is more in place, after the magic game, the team's defensive tough guy Tate said of Green: He played the performance, you continue to pay attention, be prepared, because I am sure you will see more of his performance like this. He's much better defensive now than he started the season, he's nowhere near his best and I'm proud of the way he learned and the progress he's defended. "To be honest, it is not easy to get Tate's approval on the defensive end, and it can be said that Green is also growing up to the way the team expects.
Speaking about his progress, Green said bluntly: "I don't think anyone can stop me, hold me back, if my teammates give me the ball. I don't think I'm going to let anyone stand in my way, and most importantly, I have to help the team as much as I can. They need me as much as I need them and that's how we take our game to another level. "It can be seen that he still has great confidence in the future of Hugh City, of course, for Green himself, he still has a lot to grow, such as his possession of the ball, his ability to dominate the ball, his ability to resist, his defense, etc., and hope that one day he can lead the Rockets to achieve the championship dream."
