With 17 three-pointers in three games, the Rockets rookie set a record, the 24th show 20+6 all-around, Matthews marginalized
The Rockets almost completed a three-game winning streak, but the team lost to win the future, and after losing to the Spurs, the Rockets' ranking is still in the bottom, which does not affect the Rockets' draft pick at all. The Rockets' young rising stars have been scrappy lately, and many players have completed the explosion, including Jaylen Green playing better and better, and in the last three games, Jaylen Green has shot 6, 6, and 5, a total of 17 three-pointers, which is their most three-point goals in three consecutive games this season, and also broke their own record.
Jaylen Green played better and better after the All-Star Game, averaging 20 points per game since March and shooting 39 percent from three-point range. This statistic is already one of the best among rookies, and the average score per game has reached 16.1 points, and all the data have been highly improved. He has gradually become the new core of the Rockets, and Against the Spurs, Jaylen Green has played 40 minutes, and his outburst is not surprising.
Christopher, the other No. 24 rookie, also played better and better, originally thinking that he would be one of the Rockets rookies to drag his legs, but given him enough playing time, Christopher got an all-around performance of 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists against the Spurs. He showed his ability to organize the offense and played more and more confidently, and in the Rockets and Spurs games, Gordon and Wood did not play. Other players shared their shots and were able to get high scores.
The Rockets are not short of players in the backcourt now, and Porter Jr. also has 26 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and the outbreak of these three backcourt players can also change the Rockets' strategy for future drafts. Porter Jr. played up and down, but that doesn't mean it can't be used, he's still in the Rockets' rebuilding plan. These young players have strong talents, and next season is still the focus of the training of some people happy and some worried, the Rockets Matthews gradually marginalized.
In the game against the Spurs, Matthews regained the opportunity to start, but only scored three points on 1-of-6 shooting from outside the three-point line. Matthews has been 12 consecutive games without double-doubles, due to the lack of defensive and personal singles ability, with the play of players such as Jaylen Green, Christopher, Matthews is basically marginalized, it is difficult to show efficient scoring ability, after the end of the season whether he can stay in the team has become an unknown, the Rockets after two consecutive wins after the loss is critical, but also very timely.
This season, the Rockets' rebuild has been more successful, tapping out a lot of talented players, and there is no blind trade, so the lineup is relatively stable. With a greater degree of internal digging, the Rockets will play against the Kings in the next two games, and the team will need to continue to mess and lose. A number of key players will return, and players such as Jaylen Green and Christopher will continue to get more shots.
