The Rockets lost 114-130 to the Hawks in the finale today, finishing first in the West and number one in the league with a record of 20 wins and 62 losses.
For the Rockets, such a record performance is expected, and there is nothing to criticize, because they are already in the process of rebuilding, and it is normal not to play a good record, and there is no need to play a good record, otherwise it will be gradually separated from the signing.
With a record of the bottom of the league, the Rockets have a good chance of winning a pick this season, which will also help them rebuild. Regardless of whether they can get another pick, the Rockets rebuild already has even if the list-eye jaylen Green has basically played out and started to prove his talent.
In today's finale, Green played a superstar performance, playing 39 minutes, shooting 14 of 26, including 4 of 11 three-pointers and 9 of 11 free throws, scoring 41 points and 3 assists, scoring a career high, becoming the first and only player of all rookies this season to cut 40+.
In addition, Green became the first Rockets rookie to score 40 points in a single game after Olajuwon. Even Yao Ming, who was born in the yuan, did not cut 40+ in the rookie season, and from this point of view, Green is indeed worth looking forward to.
Not just today's game, but also the end of the regular season, Green's overall performance was outstanding. In the last 9 games, Green scored 20+ in 8 games, and 30+ in 5 consecutive games, which other rookies have not done. Although there was only 8 points in one game of aberration, Green averaged more than 28 points per game in the last nine games, which is completely superstar-level performance.
While Green's overall performance this season has not been so good, the pre-season performance is more average, and this season is unlikely to be the best rookie, but Green's performance is worthy of his status as a top player, and he also has a superstar appearance, which is of course a great thing for the Rockets, after losing Harden, they got a cornerstone player.
