On April 2, Beijing time, the Second consecutive game between the Rockets and the Kings will be played this morning. Before the game, it was pointed out that the Rockets' Gordon, Wood and Schroder three people will still not play, which also means that the Rockets will be like the previous game, and the young players of the team will be led by Kevin Porter Jr. and Jaylen Green to fight against the Kings.
But the good news is that the Pistons defeated hardened the Philadelphia 76ers in the previous day's game, so that the Pistons won more games than the Rockets, so the Rockets once again took the initiative on the road to the bottom of the league. In other words, the Rockets can still lose this game, don't win again, and the Rockets will definitely give Jaylen Green and Little Porter more offensive opportunities than losing.
In the previous game, Porter Jr. and Jaylen Green each scored 30+, and Porter Jr. also exploded his first career triple-double. But for Porter Jr., he has nothing to fight for this season, and Jaylen Green is not.
As everyone knows, Jaylen Green still needs to compete for the Best Rookie Award, and Mobley, Barnes and Cunningham will be Jaylen Green's biggest competitors. In the recent rookie list, Green has surpassed Wagner in No. 4, and if the last 5 games can play the same single-game 30+ scoring data as in the previous two games, Jaylen Green is still likely to fight for the best rookie.
Why are you so confident in Jaylen Green? Because Jaylen Green is not only the one with the "highest ceiling" among these rookies, but he is also the rookie with the "fastest adjustment" among the rookies this year, and there is no one!
Look at Jaylen Green's performance in the first half of the season, when Jaylen Green not only made many mistakes, but also shot the same level as the development of league players, and even often had an embarrassing play of one in a dozen shots. At that time, almost no one except Silas and the Rockets had any hope for Jaylen Green.
But in the 19 games after the All-Star, Jaylen Green had a big explosion, and we used the data to explain everything.
According to one statistic, before the All-Star Game, Jaylen Green averaged 14.6 points per game, 31.1 percent from three-point range and 46.9 percent from two-point range. In the 19 games after the All-Star Game, Green's stats "transformed" into an average of 20.4 points per game, 38.6% three-point shooting rate, and 53.9% two-point shooting rate! Three important offensive data, up more than one notch.
This is Jaylen Green, after adapting to the new shooting style, not only is the three-point shot more stable and accurate, but he can also add some mid-range shooting skills in the game - the shooting rate of mid-range shots is not low.
After the sudden improvement of the feel, Jaylen Green's confidence also increased significantly, which in turn affected the overall performance in the game, which became more and more confident, reflecting that Jaylen Green's ball rights became more, and Silas and teammates (especially Wood and Porter Jr.) were more willing to share the ball with Green.
The personal performance before and after the All-Star is "judged like two people", which is the specific performance of Jaylen Green's state and confidence improvement. Sadly, the Rockets' game is coming to an end this season, how can Jaylen Green maintain that confidence and form until next season? It seems that Jaylen Green will have to train hard to maintain his feel during the offseason, so that Green can continue to maintain a strong forward momentum next season.
