In the game between the Rockets and the Grizzlies on December 16, Beijing time, the Rockets dug a hole in the first quarter of the game, and the offensive end was not opened, resulting in a loss of 15 points in a single quarter. Fortunately, in the next three quarters, the Rockets could continue to erupt, and the two sides were inseparable in the final quarter. Thankfully, VanVleet and Dillon scored back-to-back points to help the team widen the gap and eventually beat the Grizzlies 103-96.
And this game Dillon completed the big explosion. You have to know that today he returned to his home court, Dillon played very aggressively throughout the game, 10 of 20 cut 26+7 statistics, and his explosive energy on the offensive end was the highest on the team. Especially at critical moments, Dillon broke through + steals + three points in a row, which should have been something the Grizzlies did not expect. There is also Van Vleet, today's 16+6+8 data, he is still very good for the team as a whole, he is the only brain in the back line. With the two of them scoring 5 points in a row, dominate the situation.
It's just that Green and Shin Jing still maintained a sluggish performance. Now the opponent should know that Shen Jing is not good at offensive means, as long as he is given enough intensity, it will be difficult for Shen Jing to play aggressively under the basket. The game was only 4 out of 12, which was obviously not enough. But in the third quarter, Shen Jing's defense was not bad for a while, but it still fell into a slump in the final quarter. At the same time, Green is still playing iron in this game, although there is no problem with the choice of the offensive end, and the three-point shooting rate is not bad, but the breakthrough still cannot show a substantial contribution, and the whole game is only 4 of 12, and the shooting percentage of both of them is a bit confused.
Even Smith is in a slump. He scored 3 points on 1-of-9 shooting, and his shooting percentage was lost again. Thankfully, his rebounding and defense can still make a substantial contribution, which is what is praised. Now Smith still needs to improve his consistency on the offensive end, and he has a hard time digesting the ball, which is a huge problem.
However, the two players on the bench are really efficient. The two of them can contribute value as long as they play in most games, and Ethan has 11+7 stats on 4-of-8 shooting, which is already very efficient. Coupled with the fact that Ethan can maintain a high level of intensity in defense, his playing time is not very high, which is regrettable. Old Green can make kills, protect the rim and defend, and the overall value is also okay.
