Earlier today, in the Rockets' away game against the Blazers, the Rockets' new talent Jaylen Green made 9 of 16 shooting, 5 of 10 three-pointers in 27 minutes of playing time, cut a team-high 23 points and 3 rebounds, and walked out of the iron haze of the last game against the Lone Rangers (only 8 points in the last game against the Lone Rangers, 3 of 11), and more importantly, due to Green's excellent play, also helped the Rockets beat the Blazers 125-106, in the last 3 games, Achieved a good record of 2 wins and 1 loss. In a post-match interview with the media, Green also said: "I have a lot of ways to score, and compared to January, the game is much slower. ”
As the eye show of last year's draft conference, the template is Jordan and Kobe Bryant, the two super giants Ofger jaylen Green, before officially entering the NBA, he has become famous, with a five-star high school student rating, he did not go to the NCAA like Sagas, Mobley, Cade Conningham, etc., but joined the ignition team of the development league and felt the baptism of the professional league in advance. It is true that there is a good performance in the summer league, but in the official regular season, Green did have a serious problem at the beginning of the season, and in the 16 games in October and November, although Green's average score per game came to double digits (13.8 points per game in October and 12.1 points per game in November), his performance outside the three-point line was indeed a mess, and the three-point shooting rate did not reach 30%.
And the January that Green mentioned is indeed the worst month since he entered the NBA, and throughout January, although he averaged 13.1 points per game, 32.8% of the shooting percentage and 23.7% of the three-point shooting rate are the worst in these months, and the doubt that he is the eye of the parallel goods list is also not shy. However, after a period of adjustment, Green finally found the feel and returned to the right track. After entering March, Green averaged 15.2 shots per game, could score 19.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists, and the three shooting rates reached 48.8%, 37.2% and 75% respectively, and in the March 10 away game against the Lakers, Green scored a career-high 32 points and helped the Rockets achieve a valuable victory.
Admittedly, another champion with him, Cade Conningham, also ushered in a big explosion in March, averaging 21.9 points, 7.2 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, but he averaged 19 shots per game, 3.8 more than Green, and in March Corningham's three-point shooting rate was only 32%, so he was still inferior to Green in terms of efficiency.
In the latest rookie list released by the NBA not long ago, Green continued to rank fifth, while Capita Cunningham was temporarily in second place, second only to Evan Mobley, so even if there was a strong outbreak in March, the pit dug in the previous few months was too big, and in the case of less than 10 games in the regular season, It is estimated that it will be very difficult for Green to compete for the best rookie award.
But for Green, his goal is definitely not just the best rookie, according to his offensive kaleidoscope talent cap, as long as he can get the Rockets' patience to cultivate, the future will definitely have the opportunity to become an All-Star, and even compete for MVP. The development of scoring guard originally takes a certain amount of time, when Kobe Bryant was trained by the Lakers for almost three years, and Green was able to hand over 15.7 points in the rookie season, which is enough to see that his future is really unlimited.
