37 points and 9 rebounds in 2 games, the Rockets rookie pressed the core, the inside fulcrum 21+15, and continuously played the opponent
Rockets vs Lakers, this game Wood, Tate and other players are absent due to injury, the Rockets are a real youth army to meet. Shen Jing and Martin Jr. partnered in the inside line, which is also the first time this season for the Rockets, the Rockets have no pressure in this game, it is a surprise to win, and it is acceptable to lose. The start of Jaylen Green and Martin Jr. were in good shape, and the score was more glued. Head coach Silas used a nine-man rotation early on, and the Rockets performed better this game with Christopher.
After the All-Star, Jaylen Green played better and better, scoring double figures in several consecutive games, and Christopher, another rookie of the Rockets, did not score in double figures in six consecutive games, which was a bad performance. But in the last game he had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and returned to form, and Christopher continued his form against the Lakers. At present, the Rockets' first point of possession is Schroeder, and the second point of possession is Christopher, and he also has more shots.
In the second quarter of the game against the Lakers, Christopher made two consecutive ultra-far three-point shots on the left side to help the Rockets tighten the score, and in the second quarter, Christopher scored 12 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter, helping the Rockets surpass the Lakers. Silas also used a combination of four guards because of his excellent form, the Rockets are not lacking in talent at the moment, Christopher completed the explosion near the end of the season, and he is already sitting on the bench rotation.
The remnants of the Rockets, another player Martin Jr. also played well, and the game against the Lakers was also his first chance to start this season. In the small lineup, Martin Jr. also began to play center forward, and the effect was relatively good. His position on the Rockets is more awkward, playing big forwards is not tall enough, playing small forwards is not fast, he needs to find his own position, in the past 11 games Martin Jr. three-point shooting rate of up to 55%, he has gradually become the Rockets' internal key rotation player.
In addition to these two players playing well, another rookie Shen Jing is also in a very good state, the last two games he has started in a row, facing the Lakers Shen Jing showed his ball quotient, frequently scoring under the basket, the opportunity is left to those who are prepared, Shen Kyung seized the opportunity to start. In the game against the Lakers, Shen Jing continued to play with opponents, swinging opponents into 2+1 many times under the basket, and the Rockets have averaged 7 people in double figures this season, which is a highlight of the Rockets, and several young players need more opportunities to show themselves.
Christopher has 21 points and 3 rebounds in this game, and has a total of 37 points and 9 rebounds in the last two games, which undoubtedly suppresses the core Porter Jr. and plays better on the guard line. Shen Jing got 21 points and 15 rebounds, broke the Lakers' interior line, and near the end of the season, the Rockets rookies gradually found the rhythm. The Rockets also surprised the team by winning this game, and they were able to beat the Lakers in overtime, and these young players played a role, including Jaylen Green, who scored 32 points.
