The NBA regular season continues, with the East and West facing a showdown between weaker teams, with the Rockets sitting at home to meet the Wizards.
Before the game began, neither team had much pressure on the record, the Rockets were in the league's bottom line, with about 10 games left in the regular season, the team had locked in the bottom three positions, and the remaining games were mainly based on training new people, supplemented by potential trading chips.
On the other hand, the Wizards, although ranked 11th in the East, but 4.5 wins behind the tenth Hawks, the team has no obsession with play-off places, after all, it will affect the team's first-round pick picks.
As soon as the game began, the Wizards, who defeated the Lakers in the last big reversal, showed good form, and under the leadership of Bo Shen and Hachimura, they made a perfect start of 7-0.
The Rockets responded after that, but the team was again in a mute during the quarter, and the Wizards also seized the opportunity to play an offensive climax again, pulling the point difference to double digits in one breath and maintaining the advantage until the end of the quarter, ending the first quarter with a 13-point lead.
In the second quarter, the Wizards continued to be in good shape, the Rockets continued to be dudded, and the point difference was also stretched to 20 points, reaching as many as 23 points at one point.
Just as the situation was about to collapse, the Rockets suddenly launched a wave of offensive climaxes inside and outside the line, successfully forcing the point difference to single digits.
Fortunately, before the end of the half, the Wizards regained their touch, and under the leadership of Boshin and Hachimura, they once again played an offensive climax, helping the Wizards regain a double-digit lead and end the first half with a 12-point advantage.
Easy side of the fight, Wood suddenly broke out, facing Bo Shen's defense of 7 of 6 in the quarter, 4 of 3 three points, one person cut 15 points and 7 rebounds, the rocket team other players also added bricks, once narrowed the point difference to only 1 point, fortunately, the Wizards withstood the pressure, did not let the Rockets complete the counterattack, and ended the first three quarters of the competition with a 3-point lead.
Entering the final quarter of the scramble, the Rockets, led by Wood and Green, played a wave of 12-0 attacks and directly completed the counterattack.
Although the Wizards have been fighting back since then, Wood's hand is too hot, and he has scored three points in succession, cutting 15 points in a single quarter to help the team withstand the pressure.
In the end, the Wizards saw that the trend was gone, and no longer struggled too much, and the Rockets defeated the Wizards 115-97 to harvest a 23-point reversal.
Throughout the game, Wood was naturally the biggest contributor to winning, playing 36 minutes, shooting 14 of 18 and 8 of 9 from three-point range, scoring a game-high 39 points, plus 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and only 1 turnover.
Such a performance also made Wood the second in rocket history, able to cut at least 35 points and 10 rebounds in a single game, while being able to hit at least 8 three-pointers, the first is Harden, who has completed this feat five times.
Wood's performance is naturally a good thing for the Rockets, who could ask for more chips in return when they peddle him in the offseason.
Compared with Wood's highlight performance, the performance of The Eye Green is more gratifying, after all, he is the core of the team's future.
Throughout the game, Green played 32 minutes, shooting 7-of-14, delivering 17 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with plus-minus as high as +28.
In the case of a serious shortage of ball power, the head of the green still showed his all-round ability, as well as outstanding physical talent, and several connections with Wood also ignited the whole field, if the future can get more ball rights, Green's performance is destined to go to a higher level.
