The Rockets face the Kings
James Harden is chasing the championship dream, and the Houston Rockets are on the road to rebuilding, but I believe that with the vision of the Rockets management and the record of the bottom of the West, they will soon be able to get rid of the identity of the fish belly and return to the playoffs. Porter Jr. and Jaylen Green are constantly showing talent, including Sagu on the bench, of course. The Rockets lost the last game against the Kings, but Porter scored his first career triple-double, and Green hit at least five more three-pointers in a single game.
In this game, the Rockets' opponents are still the Kings, or the home game. The Kings have also embarked on a path of rot, with Fox and Sabonis Jr. both sidelined due to injury, and in this case, the team's competitiveness is indeed very limited. However, against the rocket, the fight is not necessarily strength, sometimes it is acting.
It was another final crash
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Houston Rockets showed offensive talent, the leader Green shot 5-of-6, 4-of-3 three-point shooting, 14 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal, Porter Jr. also had 6 points and 5 assists, Matthews also had 13 points on 3-of-4 three-point shooting, the Rockets bombed 41 points in the first quarter, and the Kings only scored 26 points. After returning from the second quarter, the Kings began to exert their strength, the team blossomed more, and scored 31 points in a single quarter, as for the Rockets, the feel began to decline, Green did not score a point, and Porter Jr. had 5 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.
The Rockets, who scored 41 points in the first quarter, only scored 21 points in the second quarter, so at the end of the half, the Rockets were just five points ahead of the Kings at 62-57. In the second half, Green hit 2 more three-pointers to continue to refresh the record of 5 three-pointers in a single game, Porter Jr. was 9 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, the team scored 29 points in a single quarter, and the Kings also happened to have 29 points, Jones and Lyles both scored 6 points, so at the end of the third quarter, the Rockets were still 5 points ahead of the Kings, and the point difference was not large.
In the final quarter of the game, the Kings immediately played a small climax of 8-0, and the scores all came from Meitu, directly overtaking the score. Green made eight free throws in the final quarter, had 13 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and Porter Jr. also had 7 points and 1 steal, but even so, the Rockets only scored 26 points in the late quarter, and the Kings bombed 36 points. In the end, the Saramento Kings reversed the Houston Rockets 122-117 and successfully won two consecutive wins.
The eye show cashed in on the talent
The Houston Rockets lost games again, suffering three consecutive defeats, but in the last three games, the individual performance of Jaylen Green was outstanding, with 30 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists against the Spurs, 32 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists against the Kings, this game is still the Kings, 33 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, without a single mistake, and 6 of 14 three-pointers and 9 of 9 from the free throw line. I have to say that according to this momentum, I believe that next season, Green will be able to lead the Houston Rockets and impact the playoff stage.
In addition to Jaylen Green, Porter Jr. has also been in very good form recently, with 27 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals, with only 2 turnovers. Matthews hit six three-pointers and also had 22 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, and Tate had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. As for the Kings, seven people scored in double figures, Barnes 25 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Jones 17 points, 17 rebounds and 6 blocks, Lyles had 14 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, Metu on the bench had 18 points and 13 rebounds, and the final quarter was the best, and Di Vincenzo also had a quasi-triple-double of 19 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists.
