Beijing time on April 11, the Rockets ushered in the last opponent of the regular season of the season, the Eagles challenge, although the Rockets finally lost 114-130 to the opponent, ending all the journey of the 21-22 season with a wave of 7 consecutive losses, but this game they focused on cultivating potential new star Jaylen Green, but also let the Rockets in the cold wind of the disappointing season, felt a little warmth, this campaign Green in the opening 39 minutes of playing time, 26 shots 14 of 26 shots 14 won 41 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, The 41 points also set a new scoring record for Green this season, becoming the second rookie player in Rockets history to cut 40+ in a single game after Olajuwon.
Former five-star high school students in the United States, refused the NCAA to enter the NBA directly from the development league
As a five-star high school student who was once in the United States, Green did not enter the NCAA experience like most players after graduating from high school, but chose to join the ignition team of the NBA Development League, where he first felt the baptism of the professional league, in last year's NBA draft, Green with his outstanding offensive talent, and finally was picked off by the Rockets as a leader-in-the-list show, which began his NBA journey, and at that time, Green's draft template was the NBA's two legendary quarterbacks Jordan and Kobe Bryant, At that time, some people even compared him to another phenomenal point guard with "Jordan in the upper limit, Kobe Bryant in the lower limit".
After arriving on the official NBA stage, Green suffered a serious downturn at the beginning of the season
Although there is a good performance in the summer league, but in the official NBA, Green also really felt what is the top stage of basketball, in the early days of the regular season, Green played iron madly, it can be said that he became the most famous "iron rookie" in the league. However, a talented new star like him, in terms of self-adjustment and learning ability, is absolutely unquestionable, after a period of adaptation, Green really played the value of his own show, and this season officially opened the rebuild button of the Rockets, in order to give him enough space to show, after directly refrigerating the veteran Wall, and then in the final stage of the regular season, several core main players who occupy absolute shooting power Schroder, Wood, and Gordon were given direct rotation, so that Green let go of his hands and feet, and he came alone.
Low open high, the last 9 games to play the all-star level data, Green is really not a parallel cargo
According to relevant statistics, in the last 9 games, Green can average 28.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game when the playing time reaches 36.5 minutes, the three shooting rates are 48.6%, 42.7% and 77.3%, and the plus-minus value is +2.3, but in contrast to the previous 58 games, Green's average data per game is only 15.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists, and the three shooting rates are as low as 41.1%, 32% and 80.2%. With ample shooting power, Green did show his offensive talent to the fullest.
Throughout the season, Green played a total of 67 games for the Rockets, these 67 games he played as a starter, in the case of playing time to 31.9 minutes, can average 17.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, shooting percentage to 42.6%, three-point shooting rate can also come to a good 34.3%, and his offensive ability in the 21st draft is really the only existence, after playing all the games this season, Green scored a total of 1 40+, 8 times 30+, 26 times 20+, all leading the first of the 21st rookie, as a high school student player who has not experienced the baptism of the NCAA, I have to sigh, Green's learning ability is really too strong, next season he can also bring you what kind of surprises, let us wait and see.
