In 20 minutes and 0 minutes, the Rockets shooter lost the main position, the new sixth man 16+3, Green hit a burst
In the back-to-back game against the Heat, the Rockets did not have any suspense to lose by a big score, and the Rockets lacked stamina in this game, and gradually pulled away the point difference in the second half. The Rockets now face a losing streak if they win a game. As a rebuilding team, the Rockets' tactics and players are constantly changing. The Rockets have changed from the lineup of Tate, Wood and Gordon as the main core at the beginning of the season to Porter Jr. and Jaylen Green with more shooting rights, and the team is in good shape.
In the game against Hot Water, due to the injury of gordon and Wood, the Rockets used shooter Matthews in the starting lineup. He played 20 minutes in the game, shooting 0-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, without rebounding and only one assist. Undoubtedly losing his main position, the next game is difficult to start, Matthews can average 11 points per game this season, three-point shooting rate of up to 37%, seemingly good data, in fact, because the defense is too bad, so it is not very helpful to the team.
As a rebuilding team, the Rockets' positions with players like Matthews are not very stable, and players like Thomas and Brooks have played with the Rockets, but the final result is that they are cut. The Rockets have a lot of players on the guard line to use, and Matthews doesn't rule out that he can't stay at the end of the season. The players on the bench are looking at the tiger, and rookie Christopher sits firmly in the sixth man position, and against the Heat, Christopher has 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and he becomes the new sixth.
Christopher's impact is stronger, but the lateral movement speed is slower, and the Rockets have also trained him in the direction of the sixth man of the two-power guard. The effect was very good, and he needed to strengthen his three-pointers to get a foothold on the Rockets. In the Rockets' position as a substitute guard, Christopher has the advantage, and Schroeder will most likely not renew his contract at the end of the season. Among this year's rookies, the Rockets will focus on the front, so Christopher has a lot of opportunities.
Green has scored in double figures in 17 consecutive games, scoring 20 points against the Heat and shooting 4-of-10 from three-point range. After the All-Star Game, Jaylen Green changed his shooting style and added his offensive means, which was a good help for the Rockets. Jaylen Green will also hit this year's rookie lineup, with Cunningham, Barnes, Gidey, Mobley and Wagner performing well, and they basically locked in the rookie lineup, but the rookie lineup is not fixed at five.
As long as Jaylen Green can continue his form, he has a good chance of becoming a rookie, which will help him a lot in his promotion. Jaylen Green scored 14 points in the first quarter of this game, and only got 6 points in the remaining three quarters, which is what the Rockets need to solve at the moment, not just to make Jaylen Green's data look good. More to develop a tactical play for him, the Rockets do not have any tactics now, the play is also a personal singles, as the number one Porter Jr. only gave 1 assist, head coach Silas also need to adjust the tactics.
