On November 29, Beijing time, the Houston Rockets sat away to face the better Nuggets, and in the end, the Rockets were unable to fight against the Western Conference Championship Nuggets due to the crisis of fouls and shooting percentage in the second half when they bit the half-time score; However, in this game, the performance of the Rockets was commendable, while hitting at least 10 three-pointers in a single game, the suspense of the game was once put in the last quarter, if not for the Rockets because of the rotten purpose (the fourth quarter did not send the main lineup), this game still played in the fourth quarter.
Indeed, the Nuggets' strength on the inside is better than the Rockets, Garuba was completely pressed to death in this game, and when Shenjing suffered a foul crisis, Silas could only let Fernando play, but in the face of Jordan Jr., who is taller, and Jokic, who is more flexible, the Rockets can resist only Shenjing on the inside; Throughout the game, the Rockets continued to implement the three-point shooting style, using a fast and fast method to try to drag the Nuggets, but the Nuggets played exceptionally well from the outside, especially Murray, shooting 11 of 17 from the field, cutting a game-high 31 points, while also scoring 2 rebounds and 5 assists.
It is precisely because of Murry's magical play that Jokic will get more opportunities on the inside. In addition, the Nuggets caught the game in terms of interior scoring, which alone led the Rockets by as many as 20 points, and the Nuggets played well inside and outside the team, helping the team lead by more than 20 points in the fourth quarter, which also locked the final game victory; On the other hand, the Rockets, after entering the fourth quarter, Silas seems to have chosen to surrender the guns, and did not arrange Shen Jing, Jaylen Green and other main players to play, but sent more young players to exercise, from this point of view, the Rockets do not want to fight with the Nuggets to the end.
The future is promising! The Rockets defeated the Nuggets
In addition, as one of the biggest highlights of the game, Jaylen Green and Porter Jr. against the Nuggets backcourt did lose a lot of highlights, the two of them shot a total of 24 times, only 9 hits, the two combined to cut 29 points, but also became the worst performance in the past 5 games; Coincidentally, compared to Jabari Smith, who has performed well in the last three games, he ushered in a new big test in his life this time, and he was in the position of the physically strong Gordon, and finally only scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, unable to continue the scoring efficiency of 20 points in the last 3 games.
However, the Rockets' young players' playing style is still very ornamental, especially in the first half, the two teams once formed a confrontation situation, perhaps even Nuggets coach Malone did not expect that the league's bottom-ranked Rockets could burst out such a powerful force.
Shin Kyung stiffened Jokic not to fall behind, and Silas named him
Of course, although the Rockets can not reverse the road, but there is one person's performance, praised by Silas and Jokic, he is the Rockets' sophomore rookie "Shen Jing", the whole game, Shen Jing performed very efficiently, in the case of 23 minutes, 14 shot 7, cut a team-high 18 points, while also 7 rebounds and 3 assists, of which the scoring and rebounding are the highest statistics of the team. In particular, the confrontation between him and Jokic was simply too intense; Especially in the first half, no matter how Jokic hits Shen Jing, Shen Jing can also treat him in another way.
Before the end of the half, Shin Kyung forced Jokic to cut a game-high 15 points, once better than Jokic in scoring and offensive and defensive efficiency, but in the second half, Shen Jing did not play again due to foul crisis and team point difference, but this could not hide Shen Jing's excellent performance. After the game, Jokic praised Shenjing's performance in an interview, and he believed that the Rockets should use Shenjing as an axis to play tactics, which would help the Rockets' offense; As a rookie, you can get such a high evaluation from Jokic, no wonder after the game, more fans think that losing this game is actually winning, what do you think about this?
