On March 19, Beijing time, the NBA's new season regular season continued in full swing. The Houston Rockets, which are currently in the West, have also ushered in a new game, taking on the Indiana Pacers at home. Although it has lost the opportunity to compete for championships and playoff tickets, and has become a bullied fish belly team, the Rockets still have a lot of gains in the process of rebuilding. Wood, who can get two double-doubles, Jaylen Green, a rookie who is gradually cashing in on his talent, and Porter Jr., who will also play a role in starting point guards, are all the future hopes of the Rockets.
I have to admit that even though the Rockets have suffered 3 consecutive losses at the moment, we still have reason to believe that the Pacers will not dare to take it lightly and relax their vigilance against them. At the beginning of the game, the Home Rockets took the lead in the state, with the help of Wood's 5 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the single quarter, and Porter Jr.'s 7 points and 1 assist, playing a 32-28 score and taking a 4-point lead. After taking the lead at the start, the Rockets failed to stabilize the situation in the next game.
In the second quarter, the Pacers, who played everywhere, sent a 33-24 score, not only recovering the four points behind in the first quarter, but also achieving a 5-point rebound with a score of 61-56. The situation has changed a lot, and the Rockets still have certain difficulties in refusing to lose consecutively. And yi bian fought again, and after entering the third quarter of the competition, the Rockets finally began a strong counterattack. Wood played 12 minutes of the third quarter and shot 100 percent from 6-of-6 shooting, delivering a full range of 20 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
Not only that, but Jaylen Green also contributed 6 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. With the two of them playing in succession, the Rockets hit a 39-22 score, not only recovering the 5 points behind in the first half, but also achieving a 12-point reversal! Unfortunately, the Rockets, who successfully counterattacked, failed to stabilize the situation in the next competition. In the regular showdown in the fourth quarter, the Pacers' Hield played 12 minutes of playing time, delivering 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and Bitazer also had 9 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, which helped the team play a 38-23 score in one fell swoop, achieving a 12-point reversal in the final quarter!
In the end, the regular time of the fourth quarter was completed, and the Pacers won the game with a score of 121-118. Back in the game, the Pacers' players were in good shape, with seven players on the team scoring in double digits. Among them, Brogdon sent 25 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, Bitazer also had 23 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and Jaylen Smith, who played 13 minutes off the bench and gave 17 points and 10 rebounds. Facing the Pacers, who played all the troops, Wood on the Rockets side has indeed tried his best.
In the 34 minutes of playing, he sent a game-high score of 32 points and 13 rebounds and 7 assists with an efficient shooting rate of 11 of 14 shots, but it was a pity that he could not stop the Pacers' 15-point reversal in the last quarter. Meanwhile, Jaylen Green also delivered 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, as well as Kevin Porter Jr., who delivered 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. After losing this game, the Rockets also fell further into the quagmire of 4 consecutive losses.
