In the last Rockets game against the Lakers, the team had two core rotation Tate and Wood absent, so Silas put up a set of starters that were almost not used this season, Porter Jr. + Green + Gordon + Martin + Shen Jing, and finally achieved unexpected results in this game, and the Rockets won the game through an overtime.
In fact, in terms of the strength of the two teams in the recent past, the Rockets and the Lakers are not much different, the Rockets can finally win the Lakers mainly because the team has made great progress recently, especially in the absence of Wood, the Rockets have more cooperation on the court, better blocking, better sharing of the ball. Take a look at the data of the rocket's two young rookies, this game Green personally played 38 minutes to hand over 32 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists data, Shen Jing core performance is also very powerful, 40 minutes handed over 21 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks of comprehensive data, the two combined to bomb 53 + 17 + 5 luxury data, of which the scores set a new career high.
The core reason why the two of them were able to break out was that compared to the beginning of the season, Green has fully evolved into an efficient scorer, and Shen Jing's physical strength not only allows him to play more time, but also improves in his finishing ability and technology. The improvement of personal ability allows them to digest more ball rights in the game, in fact, in the past period of time, Green and Porter will sometimes exchange roles on the court, allowing Green to play more of the role of the starting point of the attack, and this game Green's feel is also a hard shot. Shen Jing benefited from Wood's absence in this game, not only did he have more playing time after entering the starting lineup, coupled with the Lakers' use of five small lineups of hard steel, which gave him more advantages to align opportunities, and Shen Jing seized these opportunities very well. Looking at the shooting data of this game, Green has the most shots of the whole team in 21 shots, followed by Shen Jing's 20 times.
This game shows one thing, the rocket's outbreak of these young players is not an accidental factor, in the past, because of the presence of Wood, many tactics were basically two-man rotation between Porter Jr. and Wood, which made it difficult for Green, especially Shen Jing, to have the opportunity to perform. In fact, Shen Jing is the most suitable frontcourt partner for Green, first of all, these two players are very selfless in the game, do not care too much about personal data, as long as they see that their teammates have a good chance to shoot, they will not hesitate to send the ball to their teammates. The most important thing is that after Green's ball holding increases, there needs to be someone to block and dismantle for him in the high position, and Wood everyone knows that his blocking and dismantling is no different, the most hateful thing is that he casually goes down to ask for the ball, Shen Jing has rarely seen such a situation in the past with Green in the past game cooperation, he will do a solid cover for Green and other teammates, help teammates create better shooting opportunities, which can be said to be one of the factors in Green's state.
So the Rockets should really consider changing sides next, Shen Jing deserves to enter the team to start with Green, to know that as early as early March, Shen Jing said of Green: "We don't have much time to play together, but I believe we will have more time to play together in the future." He knows me, and I know him. We try to make each other's matches easy. After the Lakers' game, it is indeed time for Silas to fulfill Shin Kyung's wishes.
