Against the Jazz, although the Rockets regrettably lost and swallowed 11 consecutive defeats, the overall performance of the team is still remarkable and there are many praiseworthy places. Among them, the team's most eye-catching performance is the list of jaylen Green, this game is a very obvious improvement compared to the two games against the Clippers, the individual played 46 minutes to set a career high, and also got 27 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block of the comprehensive data, scoring the third highest in the career.
In addition to Green's performance, there is another young player who is also very commendable, he is the son of the team's leader Martin Jr., and the reason why this game against the Jazz was able to reverse the equalizer in the second half, Martin Jr. was indispensable. Jazz is a team with a distinct style of play, the inside line of the team, whether it is Gobert or the white side, the two of them are mainly turtles to shrink the basket under the town to guard the penalty area, which requires the Rockets to open fire on the outside line, in the three meetings before this season, the Rockets have defeated the Jazz once, and the key to success is that the outside line has shot 22 three-pointers. In this encounter, the Rockets also performed very well on the outside and hit 21 three-pointers in the whole game, which greatly exceeded the team's average this season.
And in this game, Martin Jr. played 36 minutes and bombed 20 points and 7 rebounds of the data, including 8 of 14 shots, 8 of 8 three-point shooting, the data performance is quite eye-catching, if the data is divided into the first and second half, Martin Jr. played a vital role in the Second Half of the Rockets to be able to equalize. In the first half, Martin Jr. only hit 1 three-pointer in the bottom left corner, but in the second half, Martin Jr. shot 3 three-pointers to shoot all-out. His three-point shot in the bottom corner greatly involved the Attention of the Jazz's interior, whether it was Gobert or White Edge, who had to take care of Martin Jr. in the bottom corner when he was in the protective frame, so he gave Porter and Wood the opportunity to break under the basket. The only regret is that in the overtime stage, Martin Jr. was not able to continue his feel, 3 bottom corner shots were lost, and finally the Jazz pulled away the point difference, but as a whole, there was nothing to question about Martin Jr.'s performance in this game.
In fact, in addition to this game, in recent times, Martin Jr. has performed very well in outside projection, as long as the opponent dares to give him the opportunity to empty the position, he can give a response, in the past 8 games, Little Martin's three-point shots of 24 shots 14, shooting 58.3%, ranking first in the NBA in the same period. Therefore, it is not an accident that Martin Jr. can rise strongly in this game against the Jazz, but the embodiment of his strength and progress. To know that Martin Jr. is a crucial member of the Rockets reconstruction, the team is quite weak in the flanks 3 and 4 positions, as far as the current lineup is concerned, The commonly used starting flanks of Silas are Gordon and Tate, and the bench mainly uses Martin Jr., but Gordon is not in the team's long-term planning, Tate's height size is a hard injury, only Martin Jr. has enough size, and there is no one else.
Therefore, for the Rockets, they are still very happy to see the growth of Martin Jr., and they also look forward to his future to become an important member after the rise of the Rockets and help Hugh City win the championship...
