In the game between the Rockets and the Clippers on November 1, Beijing time, they are both teams that have lost in a row, which also made the two sides very fierce. Even the Rockets were in the lead most of the final quarter. Unfortunately, Gordon was tackled by George, and the killer goal was not scored, and finally lost to the Clippers 93-95.
However, it was surprising that Martin was completely violent today, scoring 23 points on 9-of-17 shooting in the game, and even Martin's running position was very accurate and could always appear in the right position, which also made Martin play his value on both offensive and defensive ends. Without Martin's point, the Rockets might have fallen behind by a large margin.
In addition, the two players on the bench also played very well. Ethan was only 2-of-7 for 6 points. But he didn't lose position when defending George, which would be an answer to the Rockets' No. 3 spot. If the offensive end is a little more stable, it is very strong. Then there's Garuba, who has perfect control of frontcourt rebounds, grabbing eight rebounds in 10 minutes of the game, but unfortunately the two of them can't get enough playing time.
Porter Jr. is playing really reasonably now. The whole game cut 13+5+5 data. In the past, Porter Jr. was messy, but this season he played reasonably and passed well, which made Porter Jr. recognized by countless people.
And the team's defense is also transforming. Especially in the third quarter, most of the defense was fine. The speed of blocking and replacing defenses and assisting defenses is very fast, which limits the Clippers' offense. If this defense continues, the Rockets can certainly win more, and that's fine.
It's just that Green's offensive and defensive ends have all collapsed. Among them, on the defensive end, it is either removed by a block and gets rid of, or it is taken by one step, and the defensive end is completely for nothing. Offensive is not good, with 4-of-17 shooting in the game, the offensive end is completely lost. There is no way, Green has been playing iron for three points during this time, but breaking through without any deterrent, he must dig his mid-range or throw, otherwise he will continue to be sluggish on the court, which is already a very obvious signal.
Smith is not good, the talent is real, but unfortunately the ball merchant is not good, experience and game attitude are a big flaw. Smith was 2-of-8 in the game, and he still needed to practice at this point.
