Against the Kings, the Rockets' veterans are all absent, and the Rockets' backcourt Twins did not disappoint, they continued the hot feel of the previous game, Porter Jr. bombed 30 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists, won the first triple-double of his career, Green is also very strong, took 30 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, creating a number of records.
However, it is a pity that the team's No. 24 show Christopher was not able to continue the offensive feel of the previous game, to know that in the game against the Spurs, Christopher handed over 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in 10 shots, but against the Kings he only scored 6 points in 24 minutes, including 2 of 9 shots, 5 of 5 three-pointers, and the offensive state was quite bad. As far as the whole game is concerned, I believe that Christopher gave everyone the most impression is that in the last moments of the game, he received a pass from Porter Jr. at the right 45 degree angle and lost the last three-point that can be equalized, I believe that there are still many fans who are happy that Toffer did not hit this three-point shot, after all, this has helped the team stabilize the ranking of the bottom three in the league. But for the players, they don't pay attention to the management's goals, winning is their task, and you can see that after missing the draw, Toffer's expression is also quite frustrated.
Looking back at the whole game, it can be found that although the king Game Christopher did not feel good on the offensive end, he was affecting the game in other ways to help the team, and in this game he also had 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, and the plus-minus value of the whole game was +16, which meant that even if he was not in a state of attack, the team was still able to win 16 points during his time. Through this game, we can also see that the team's No. 24 show is more and more comprehensive, to know that the rocket's general manager Stone regarded him as a player like Holreddy after selecting him, to have offense, to defend, but also to have the ability to organize the team, although Christopher showed his good scoring ability in the previous game, but in the defense and organization of the tandem team this piece did not achieve the expected effect.
Christopher has been untethered since the team's two-game rotation against the Spurs and the Kings, learning to find the position of his teammates when he holds the ball on the court, and when the team's offense is at a standstill, he can either cause damage to the opponent's interior line through his own impact, or can compress the opponent's defense to be able to divide the ball to the teammates who can divide the ball to the outside empty position. On the defensive end, especially when defending opponents, it often puts a lot of pressure on the ball carrier, as evidenced by the five steals in a single game, and as a defender, Christopher is also very active in rebound protection. As far as Christopher's progress is concerned throughout the season, Stone has not misread him at all, and he has become closer and closer to his draft template Holliday.
According to Rocket reporter Fagan, Christopher is a very hard-working player, he often practices after training, and he will do a lot of shooting training that imitates the game situation, such as dribbling the ball, shooting after two moves to the left, retreating and so on. I believe that these efforts of his will bring him harvest and become a real player who integrates attack and defense.
