In the final battle of the season, Green still played a super strong performance, he shot 14 of 26, 4 of 11 three-pointers, bombed 41 points, and there was not a single mistake in the whole game, you know that in the last game against the Raptors, he only scored 8 points, but this small flaw did not affect the overall performance of the last few games of the season, the most important thing is that he not only conquered the fans of Hugh City, but also shattered the remarks that he would become the head of the parallel goods list.
However, the only regret is that in the final strong outbreak stage did not win the rookie scoring champion of the season, this season Green started 67 games, a total of 1157 points, 226 rebounds, 176 assists, 43 steals and 18 blocks, averaging 31.9 minutes per game can get 17.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists 0.7 steals 0.3 blocks, including 42.6% shooting rate three-point shooting rate 34.3% free throw shooting rate 79.7%;
Since participating in the draft, Green's biggest rival Cunningham has played in 64 games for the first time this season, with a total of 1114 points, 354 rebounds, 356 assists, 78 steals and 43 blocks, although not as good as Green in total points, But Cunningham averaged 17.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks in 32.6 minutes per game, including 41.6% shooting from 31.6% three-point shooting, 31.4% free throw shooting rate of 84.5%.
It can be seen that Green's average score per game is only 0.1 points lost to Yuanyuan, which is a few feet away from the rookie scoring king, and to be honest, this is still a pity. Since being selected by the Rockets, Green has taken the best rookie as the ultimate goal of the season, but the poor performance at the beginning of the season made Green fall out of the top ten of the rookie list, compared to Cunningham's performance on the court this season is relatively stable, but Green still raised his total score and average score per game to the second position of the rookie with a strong performance in the later stage, but even so, it is almost impossible for Green to get the best rookie of this year, after all, the Cavaliers' Mobley, the Raptors' Barnes Not only do they have a good personal performance, The team's record should also be more prominent. However, the Rockets coach still held up for Green, saying at the end of the interview after the game: "He should undoubtedly be selected for the best rookie team, but if there is a rookie award for the fastest improvement, he should also be elected." ”
But in the end, Green's lack of scoring champions and best rookies are inseparable from Silas, and if he could have let Green play earlier, given him more playing time, more shots, his current stats may be more explosive, but even so, Green still thanked Silas, and specifically mentioned in the post-game interview that Silas meant everything to him. Asked about his experience this season and the direction of the offseason, Green said: "We didn't play the season performance we wanted to play, but we showed people what kind of team we could be. Obviously, you want to accomplish a lot for yourself and set high standards for yourself, but in order to accomplish your goals, you have to go through some failures, take your time, stay in the training gym and train, don't let anything distract you, is to keep working hard. ”
