This game against the Nets is a key battle for the Rockets, if you can successfully defeat the opponent, then it is a huge help to the Nets in the first round of 2022, but unfortunately, the Rockets did not win this game in the absence of 3 core rounds.
But overall, this game rocket still has a lot of gains, not only to return the team to the bottom position of the league, the team's backcourt double core once again bombed the dazzling data.
Green played 40 minutes and 33 seconds, bombed 30 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block of the full data, including 12 of 23 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, this is green's fifth consecutive game to score 30+, continue to set a number of records.
Porter Jr., another rising star in the backcourt, was even more eye-catching, scoring 36 points against Irving in 41 minutes of playing, setting a new season high, including 13 of 26 shots, 14 of 3 points, 6 of 6 free throws, and porter Jr. also had 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in this game. In fact, from his data, there is almost nothing to be picky about except that he has not been able to lead the team to win, and when it comes to this defeat, Porter Jr. said in an interview: "I am finding my rhythm, which is good, I mean, I still want to win." Having that rhythm on the pitch, feeling comfortable, believing in my efforts, basically, that's what's happening now, and I'm going to keep trying. ”
But even so, many fans are still dissatisfied with Porter Jr.'s performance, believing that he did not play a role in organizing the tandem team in this game, thinking that he shot too much to steal Green's limelight, but in fact, this is completely a prejudice against Porter Jr. Porter Jr. also explained this, saying: "Finding a balance between organization and scoring is something I've been trying to improve the location. I'm a good passer and playing more aggressively on the offensive end also makes the passing chances better. "In fact, the game was not that he didn't pass the ball, but that his teammates really didn't give in.
In an interview after the game, Silas also pointed out the key to the loss, Silas said: "We just didn't hit enough three-pointers, this game is basically like that. Three-pointers and free throws are the key to this game, we shot 11 of 43 three-pointers and 14 of 25 from the free throws, it's hard to beat a good team, and the Nets are good teams. "Silas is still very pertinent, look at some of the statistics of this game, in addition to Green and Porter Jr., the team's three-pointer is 19, which is simply unbearable. Matthews was 1-of-7, 6-of-3, Tate 2 of 10, 2 of 2 from three-pointers, Martin Jr. 8 of 3, 4-of-3 from three-pointers, Christopher 2-of-11, 1 of 5 from three-pointers, and his teammates did this, even if they could throw in four three-pointers, the game was won. So for those who complain about Porter's low number of assists, this game can't throw the pot at Porter Jr. anyway.
Of course, there are indeed some shortcomings in Porter Jr., but he is also trying to improve himself, which is why the management attaches importance to him, after all, he is only 21 years old, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future.
