In the last game against the Wizards, the Rockets completed a 23-point reversal at home to win, the team fell into passivity at the beginning of the first half, losing 39 points in the first quarter, and even allowed the opponent to widen the point difference to 23 points during the second quarter, but fortunately, before the end of the second quarter, the Rockets narrowed the point difference to 12 points, and after entering the second half, the Rockets were bit by bit eaten away at the opponent's lead, and finally wiped out the point difference and completed the big reversal, and finally defeated the opponent 115:97 to win.
There may be many people who will attribute the reversal of this game to Wood, who exploded 39 points and 10 rebounds to a career high, but in fact, the essence of the team's reversal is because of the result of Silas's active change in the second half, and Wood is just the icing on the cake. To review the second half of Cyrace's employment adjustment, although the start is the same as the opening, posing the starting of Porter Jr. + Green + Gordon + Tate + Wood, but in the rotation stage, Silas did not make the backcourt combination of Porter Jr. and Green the same as usual, but first let Green go down, let Schroder come up to play No. 1 position, Little Porter No. 2 position, in the beginning of the fourth quarter, and then let Green play for Little Porter to play No. 2 position, seemingly a simple rotation, but let Silas be miraculous, But it also proves that Porter Jr. is incompatible with Green.
At the beginning of the season, the management of the Rockets let Porter Jr. transform to play the No. 1 position and Green formed a backcourt double core, after experiencing the painful period of transformation, Porter Jr. did have some progress, compared to the beginning of the season, Porter Jr. was able to send more assists at the same time, his mistakes were also greatly reduced, but in the game, Porter Jr. still has a lot of problems, his vision is not broad enough, often stop the ball near the free throw line to find someone, when he no longer chooses between his own offense and tandem teams, His offense will be more efficient. The data also proves that in all the point guards who played more than 650 minutes, a total of 29 people, Porter Jr.'s assist rate is 30%, ranked 13th, the assist-to-loss ratio of 1.12 ranks 12th, at the level of the middle of the league, but when he plays without the ball, he scores more than 95% of the same players per game, and the three-point shooting rate of the catch jump shot reaches 48.2%, and the effective shooting rate is more than 70%.
Both the performance on the court and the data pointed out that Porter Jr. was more suitable for playing in the No. 2 position, and scoring was his strong point, so in the game against the Wizards, after the third quarter of Cyras's change of team, the team could play an immediate effect, because Silas put them all in a position that was more suitable for them. Of course, at this stage, the Rockets can not push Schroeder to the team's starting No. 1 position to replace Porter Jr., after all, there is really no better player in the team who can serve as the team's starting point guard, Schroeder is not the team's long-term answer, otherwise it will not be DNP Wall, so this problem management probably has to stay in the offseason to solve, after all, there are first-round picks in hand, and there are trading chips Gordon, Wood and others.
