In this game, the Rockets scored the most points by Schroder, the most rebounded by Shin Kyung, the most assisted by Christopher, the highest plus-minus by Fernando, and the worst performer was Kevin Potter Jr.
In this game, Kevin Porter Jr. played 27 minutes for the Rockets, shooting 5-of-18, 7-of-7 from three-point range, 2-of-4 from the free throw line, and had 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers, and a plus-minus of -25.
In terms of statistics, Porter's playing time is the second in the team, the number of shots, three-point shots and free throws are the first in the team, the points, rebounds and assists are the third in the team, and the plus-minus is the worst in the team.
In this game, silas reused Kevin Porter Jr. Mainly because the Rockets' organization and tandem were not good, when Green and Schroeder were on the floor, they were more inclined to attack, and the whole team showed a more single-player situation, Silas needed Porter to sort out the offense, and Porter was the most influential player in the Rockets' defense, Silas needed Porter to help the team improve its defense, but in reality, Porter's performance was far from expectations.
From an offensive point of view, Porter as the team's starting organization defender, Porter played well, and the team's win or loss is directly related, as the team's offensive drive and commander, the significance of the team is self-evident.
Porter's significance to the Rockets, at the offensive end is the outside three-point projection point, is one of the models of the Rockets' double guard, taking on the heavy responsibility of breaking through, can open up space for teammates, but also can bring containment, from this angle the Rockets' positioning of Porter, it can be seen that There are high hopes for Porter.
From the organizational side, the current Rockets defenders have Schroder, Green, Christopher and Knicks five players, Porter is the team's regular time commander, and in the bench transition period, Silas more use Schroeder to play the guard, let the Knicks and Christopher take turns to assume the role of organizational guard, because the Rockets have too many mistakes, Silas in order to improve this situation, in recent games often use the configuration of three guards + two centers, mainly to solve the problem of rebound protection and mistakes, Porter is the most privileged of the Rockets' organizers, but Porter's mistakes are also the most of all the Rockets' guards.
From the defensive end, Porter is the team's best defensive influence of the guard, Green is the team's lowest plus-minus defender, in the case of Green constantly improving, Green's data is still not good, and Christopher and Knicks' defensive data is not good, Schroeder's offensive efficiency is not good, many times Silas will use Porter as a defensive tough guy, but Porter's perception in the field is that after mistakes, often do not return to defense, by the opponent easy step by, often change defense for mistakes, Porter's defensive discipline and defensive attitude is very problematic, When Porter was on the floor, the Rockets had a higher rate of error.
From the current point of view, Porter is not suitable for the Rockets' starting organization guard, with Porter to play the sixth man with a substitute lineup is still a good choice, the Rockets' positioning of Porter has problems, prompting the team to often struggle, this is the rocket and Porter's common problem, Porter can not carry the team's core of the team, is the problem of all porter's problems.
