On March 8, Beijing time, the Rockets lost 106-123 in the away game against the Heat, which also allowed the Rockets to have only a 16-49 record so far this season, of course, for the Rockets in the reconstruction stage, a worse record is a good thing, because it will give the team a greater chance to pick a high draft pick in the future draft.
Because of this, the Rockets' performance of young players against the Heat is still the most noteworthy thing for the team. Throughout the game, Jaylen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. are the players who can play the best in the backcourt.
Jaylen Green scored 20 points and 3 assists on 8-of-16 shooting in 31 minutes, as well as three-pointers on 4-of-10 shooting. As for Kevin Porter Jr., he had 22 points, five rebounds and one assist on 7-of-15 shooting in the 29 minutes, while Porter was also able to perform on 5-of-11 shooting from outside the three-point line.
So the two rising stars can work together to contribute 42 points (48% shooting percentage), 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 9 three-pointers (43% three-point shooting) to the team in this game against the Heat.
There's no doubt that's what the Rockets, who are in the rebuilding phase, want to see this season, after all, after the team sent James Harden, Jaylen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. are largely the rocket's best talented and promising players, and the Rockets management does want to develop these two players into a new generation of Harden and Paul.
Of course, kevin Porter Jr. and Jaylen Green are still very obvious distances from Harden and Paul, but the two are still very young players, especially Green can cut 20+ data performances in 6 of the last 8 games, which is why the two can make their future more worth looking forward to after scoring 42 points and hitting 9 three-pointers together.
