Rockets rookie Jaylen Green's performance after the All-Star Game was basically on a par with the other three rookies Cunningham, Barnes and Mobley, and Jaylen Green also had his own advantage in terms of personal data. Compared to Mobley, a well-rounded defensive ability and a well-rounded Cunningham, Jaylen Green seems to be more explosive in scoring.
Not only that, but Since the beginning of the season, Jaylen Green's "jump shot shooting percentage" has basically improved month by month. The so-called jump shot shooting rate refers to the shooting rate of a player with mid-range shooting and three-point shooting, although Jaylen Green is not the league's top in this field, but since the beginning of the season in October last year, until the end of the regular season in March, Jaylen Green's shooting rate has basically improved every month.
Look at the data: According to statistics, in October and November last year, Jaylen Green's jump shot shooting rate was only 28.5%, and it is clear that Green, who has just entered the league, is not adapted to the rhythm of the NBA. In December last year and January this year, Green's jump shot shooting rate was only 27.4%, that is to say, at this time, Green was still slowly looking for a state to find a feel, and the shooting rate was not too good.
However, in February this year, through the advice of the elder Lucas, Jaylen Green, who improved the shooting style, finally ushered in an outbreak, and he not only became beautiful in the data, but also the jump shot shooting rate changed from less than 30% to 37.8% in February. Entering this month, march, Jaylen Green's jump shot shooting rate soared to 45.7%, an increase of nearly 8 percentage points from the previous month.
In March, compared with October and November when he first joined the league last year, Jaylen Green's jump shot shooting rate even increased by nearly 20%! It's worth mentioning that since March, Jaylen Green's offensive tactics have also become richer - he not only often uses his best counter-attack to make a quick layup to score, but also to score with one accurate three-pointer after another. In the past month, Jaylen Green's three-point shooting rate has been close to 40%.
More importantly, in addition to the three-point + offensive basket, Jaylen Green's biggest change is to increase the mid-range shooting. In recent games, Jaylen Green has shown mid-range shots from time to time, and the effect is not bad. In addition to Jaylen Green's successful transformation, rocket players have also begun to add a variety of different scoring methods in addition to three-point and basket offense, shooting in the middle, breaking through fouls, and pulling out big men to shoot three points, all of which were rare offensive methods before.
In terms of scoring, the Rockets' style is becoming more and more diverse, and from the statistical point of view, the Rockets' average score per game is not particularly bad, although it is located in the middle and lower reaches of the league, but it is definitely not the bottom level. Compared to the league's bottom-line defense, the Rockets' offensive ability is "OK." It's just that the Rockets can only attack and not defend and can't win, and when to raise the defensive level is when the Rockets really get rid of the fish belly title.
