After the last Rockets vs. Lone Rangers game, Doncic, who blasted 30 points, 14 rebounds and six assists, said in an interview about Rockets coach Silas: "The Rockets had better not sack him, he's a great coach, and I think these young players definitely need him." ”
However, after watching the Rockets vs. Pelicans game, I believe no one will agree with Doncic's words, because Silas played a good hand of cards, and the team's young people are about to be trained by him. To know that against the Pelicans, the Rockets not only ushered in the return of Tate and Wood, the core main players of the opponent Zion, CJ, Ingram are absent from this game, from the perspective of strength, the Rockets to the Pelicans' second lineup is not much different, but the Rockets have defeated the opponent by 25 points, completely crushed by the opponent. While it's not a game to win for the Rockets, it's not a game to lose.
Rockets as a rebuilding team, this season is the first season of the team's reconstruction, the team ushered in 4 first-round shows, as the NBA season draws to a close, these young players should get more playing time on the team, especially the list of green, after the All-Star game strong explosion, every game scored in doubles, in many cases to carry the team on the shoulders, but Green does not seem to be treated specially on the team, there is not much ball on the court, especially after Wood's return, The most in the whole team is the two-man rotation of Porter Jr. and Wood, against the Pelicans, Porter Jr. and Wood are both in a very sluggish state, the two total 18 5, and Green is in quite good shape, whether it is mid-range or outside shooting, very powerful, but this game Green also got 13 shots, got the team's high 17 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
In the second half, the game lost suspense early, Wood's poor interior defense made the opponent in the penalty area to give and demand, Andyo was plagued by fouls, Silas could have replaced Fernando, who had performed well in the previous game, but Silas seemed to forget Fernando's performance against the Lone Ranger, and waited until two minutes into the fourth quarter to replace the No. 23 show Garruba who was outside the rotation plan. This operation made the fans look confused, the original 23rd show can play ah, but why his rotation even after Nuwaba, the whole game gave Nuwaba 15 minutes, Garuba finally only played 7 minutes, and in these 7 minutes he performed quite powerful, hit a three-pointer, contributed a steal and a block, it can be said that his technical characteristics were shown.
To know that the whole season Garruba has not been very popular with Cyras, almost all garbage time to get a little playing time, Garuba has even expressed dissatisfaction many times, but this does not seem to make cyras make any changes. In fact, Garupa is a very important frontcourt player for the Rockets, with a height arm span, a good movement speed, although the offense is relatively poor, but like this kind of game should not let Garupa practice. Back throughout the season, Silas has been treating players like Wood and Tate as treasures, giving them plenty of playing time so that managers who don't recognize the weight should be fired early.
