Although the Rockets' record in the past period of time is a wave of 8 consecutive losses is not very satisfactory, but the team's eye show Green is getting better and better, and this state is what many fans and even team management hope to see, neither delaying the great cause of competition, nor delaying the growth of young players.
The Rockets have only 20 games left this season, and they need to make sure that the team's record is in the bottom three of the league, so it is almost impossible to expect the team's record to improve, so it can only put more expectations on the team's top show, because in the past, many rookies have exploded after the All-Star Game, the most recent example is the Timberwolves' champion Edwards.
First, let's look at Edwards' statistics in front of the All-Star last year, averaging 14.9 points, 4 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 29 minutes per game, shooting 37.1% from the field and 30.1% from three-point range;
But after the All-Star Game, he averaged 23.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 35 minutes per game, shooting 45.4 percent from the field and 35 percent from three-point range.
Before the All-Star Game, Green averaged 14.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 30.4 minutes per game, including 38.7 percent from the field and 30.6 percent from three-point range.
As you can see, Green was very similar to Edwards data before the All-Star, and as you know, Green went through the process of changing his shooting posture in January, when he was very struggling, but from the recent games, green's state is a clear recovery, scoring 17 points against the Suns in the past 3 games, 21 points against the Clippers, and 23 points against the Magic, and it can be seen that his performance is better than the other. Even if it is extended to all appearances in February, Green's data performance is very good, averaging 17 points per game while shooting 48%, shooting 42% from three-point range, and shooting 61% from the field, which seems to indicate that Green's explosive period is coming.
But there is another prerequisite for Green's ability to break out, that is, whether Silas will give him more possession. It should be noted that although Green performed badly in January, his round share reached 23.5%, and during February, his statistic has dropped to 20.9%, and the reason for this excellent data is because he has more efficiency on the offensive end. The reason why Edwards ushered in an outbreak after the All-Star Game, in addition to his increased playing time, his ball rights have also increased, and the possession rate of the round has increased significantly, so Green wants to explode, provided that Silas will increase his playing time and shooting rights. After the match against the Magic, Green also gave some hints, saying: "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 stop me. ”
What Silas has to do is to meet the requirements of Green, Green is like a beast, there is endless potential, what the Rockets need to do is to tap Green's potential, if you want to see what kind of height Green can reach, you should not give him a shackle, at present he is gaining momentum, it is a good time to release him.
