On November 3, Beijing time, the Rockets lost to the Clippers 101:109 at home, suffering a five-game losing streak, and the five-game losing streak became the longest losing streak in the league, and the Rockets' 1-8 record also ranked 1st from the bottom of the league.
In this game, the Rockets scored the most points and rebounds was Shin Kyung, the most assists were Porter, the highest plus-minus was Garruba, and the best performance was Shin Kyung.
Statistically, this is Shin Kyung's highest scoring this season, just one point away from his career-high score, and Shin Kyung is the most efficient offensive player on the team.
This season, Shen Jing is the most efficient player in the league in low post, scoring 1.35 points per game, ahead of former teammate Christian Wood, Shen Jing currently averages 3.3 low touches per game, ranking 11th in the league, but Shen Jing's average low touch rate per game ranks fifth in the league, such data has prompted Silas to arrange the formation and tactical arrangement, which has led to a certain change in Silas's formation, as well as tactical arrangements.
At the beginning of the season, Fernando was the team's starter, Shen Jing played at the same time as Green and Porter, and his role on the court was not great, Green and Porter occupied a lot of the ball, Shen Jing played very little role in high-ranking planning and organization, and basically the distribution and finishing of the ball dominated by the two backcourt.
Fernando played one and a half games, then left the court injured, so far, the Rockets in the new season of 9 regular season games, lined up 6 starting lineups, when Fernando was off, Silas used Smith as the starting center, but Smith's confrontation and strength were slightly insufficient, showing a tall and strong interior line that could not defend the opponent, in the case of Porter and Green's state fluctuated very much, Shen Jing was reused.
On the offensive end, Silas increased the frequency of Shen Jing taking the ball in a high position, so that Green and Porter more often, with Shen Jing to play handover, let Shen Jing block demolition, although Shen Jing's blocking quality is not high, many times can not block people, but Green and Porter have Shen Jing blocked the demolition, immediately shot and hit the case, Shen Jing's tactical role on the offensive end is strengthening.
And when Shen Jing takes the ball in a high position, if the opponent runs without the ball against Porter and Green, and the chase is oppressive, then Shen Jing can break through to the inside line with the ball in a high position, and hit the opponent by surprise, and the opponent's inside line will be forced to foul, such an offensive choice increases the aggressiveness of Shen Jing's attack.
Shen Jing's performance is getting better and better, and Silas increases the frequency of Shen Jing's low position to take the ball and play low back, while Shen Jing's efficiency in low back play appears to be very high.
At present, the Rockets' offensive efficiency ranks 28th in the league, the assist per game ranks 29th in the league, and the average number of passes per game ranks 26th in the league, but the Rockets can rank 2nd in the league in low-post scoring and 9th in singles scores.
Although Shen Jing's footwork movement speed is not fast, the ability to change the defense is not good, but the ability to protect rebounds is improving, averaging 10.3 rebounds per game this season, almost doubling directly compared to last season, and Shen Jing's free throw percentage, from 71% last season, to 79% this season, when Shen Jing creates fouls on the other side, he can hit free throws better and raise the ceiling for the rocket offense.
At the beginning of the season, Rockets reporter Iko reported that the Rockets rebuilt around Green, Porter and Smith, for now, the performance of Smith and Green is very fluctuating, Shen Jing's performance is gradually improving, from the talent of players, the ceiling of player play, and the shortcomings of players, Green, Porter and Smith are undoubtedly the three players with higher ceiling on the team, but at the moment Shen Jing is the most stable player on the offensive end of the team, and can enrich the Rockets play and enrich the Rockets tactics of the players, In the case of very large fluctuations in the rocket attack, Shen Jing's stability brings more lower limits to the offensive end of the rocket.
At present, Smith's state continues to be sluggish, Green's state is very unstable, scoring explosive power, but the downturn is very low, the most important thing is to let Green lead the team single-handedly, completely unable to lead the team, when Smith and Green can't open, it is better to use Shen Jing more, give Shen Jing more ball rights and status singles permissions, Shen Jing's passing organization and response ability is also good, perhaps through Shen Jing's driving benefits, can promote other young players to be more efficient and better data.
