On April 2, Beijing time, the Rockets lost at home to the Kings again in the penultimate regular season game, so that the Rockets swallowed a three-game losing streak. But losing has always been what the Rockets want, and after the Pistons won today, the Rockets and magic became the two teams with the bottom record in the league (with the same record). In the future, the Rockets have 4 games, two home and two away games, as long as the Rockets can maintain such a "losing state", the probability of this summer's signing falling into the hands of the Rockets is very high.
Even if the draw does not win the lottery, the Rockets' top 5 picks will not run. In addition to a loss that the Rockets wanted, Jaylen Green's performance once again attracted the attention of fans. Without Wood, Schroeder and Gordon taking Green's ball, Jaylen Green brushed up beautiful stats again in this game. Jaylen Green, who started the battle, really became the super core of the Rockets with unlimited firing power.
In this game, Green shot 9 of 24 in 40 minutes, 6 of 14 three-pointers, 9 of 9 from the free throw line, and blasted down 33 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, with 0 turnovers and plus-minus +3. After this game, Jaylen Green also set a new NBA career scoring record — 33 points.
To know that in the games before this season, Jaylen Green scored 32 points twice, and it is a gratifying thing that Jaylen Green was able to refresh his scoring record near the end of the regular season. Jaylen Green's shooting is more confident, the breakthrough is more determined, coupled with the support of the Rockets teammates and the approval of Silas, which allows Jaylen Green to get a lot of ball rights and shooting rights, if his shooting rate can be better, the game's personal score, will run 40 points.
In addition to a career-high 33 points, Jaylen Green has two stats to reach no. 2 in Rockets history! Let's look at the first item, according to statistics, Green has scored at least 20 points and shot 6 three-pointers in 4 consecutive games, this data Green has tied Harden's no. 2 in team history, it is worth mentioning that the longest record is also held by James Harden, the record is 5 consecutive games, that is, if Jaylen Green's next home game against the Timberwolves can get 20+ and hit 6 three-pointers, he will share the glory of the first place in team history with Harden.
In the second, Green has scored at least 20 points in five consecutive games and hit five three-pointers. Catching up with Harden, he came to the second position in the history of the Rockets, and the record of the first place was also set by Harden, who had reached this data in 12 consecutive games. As long as Jaylen Green continues to score more than 20 points and hit at least 6 three-pointers in a single game in the next game, he is expected to equal James Harden and become the first person in Rockets history.
Considering that the next Rockets' Wood, Gordon and other famous players will still not play, Jaylen Green will still get more than 20 or more shots, so as long as Jaylen Green plays in normal condition, it is only a matter of time before he equals Harden. Even if Jaylen Green can continue this state of affairs, counting the games last and next season, Jaylen Green is expected to challenge Harden's record of 20+ points and 6 three-pointers in a single game.
