If you want to talk about the Rocket team this year, it is definitely a big dark horse-level existence. The Rockets' game this season is very different from last season. Before the Bucks, the Rockets had won five in a row, and the momentum was still quite good. The Rockets have a lot of fun going for the playoffs, because that's what they're aiming for this season, and that's the first thing the team does when they're rebuilding. However, everyone saw this game with the Bucks, the Rockets unfortunately lost, couldn't stand the opponent's double supergiants, and super starters, and naturally fell down, but in this game, the Rockets also gained a lot. Today we are going to analyze this game.
In fact, the Rockets are playing tenaciously, and we can look at the Bucks. Lillard hit 11 of 19 shots and hit the spot, scoring 39 points while also diching out 11 assists. In addition, Brother Alphabet's side is also unambiguous, with 26 points and 17 rebounds, which makes the Rockets quite a headache. Let's not forget Middleton and Da Luo, the two also played together in this game, Middleton scored 20 points, and Da Luo scored 18 points. How fierce the Bucks' starters were, and out of 128 points in this game, the starters scored 112 points. As far as this scoring momentum is concerned, don't say that the Rockets can't stand it, it's enough to change anyone, because these players are all playing together, and you can't do anything about it.
It's true that the Rockets lost this game, but there are still a lot to gain. The first takeaway, the team is full of tenacity. If it was the Rockets last season, seeing a team like the Bucks, they would have given up the game early. However, everyone has also seen this game, the Rockets did not give up at all, but have been able to cause problems for the Bucks. You can look at Brother Alphabet's playing time, which reached 39 minutes and 10 seconds, to know how tenacious the Rockets were in this game. The second harvest is that he is very good at catching mistakes. The Bucks made a lot of mistakes in this game, and the Rockets naturally laughed at the gift. The Rockets took advantage of the Bucks' mistakes and scored 19 points, which was still pretty good, and the boys were a big success.
The third harvest, the veteran Green becomes a baby. Green played an efficient game in this game, and after coming off the bench, there was no ambiguity at all. I don't know if you have noticed, but since Green won the championship with Jokic, he has also sublimated himself. Green scored 16 points on 4-of-5 shooting and 7-of-8 free throws in less than 18 minutes. I have to say that the signing of the Rockets is a good deal. The fourth takeaway, Ethan, is worth reusing. Ethan once again proved his worth, finishing with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals in less than 30 minutes. In fact, Ethan's value is not reflected by data, and Udoka has recently increased Ethan's playing time. For the Rockets, players like Eason really should be reused.
Overall, the Rockets still have great hope this season, and their current record is better than that of the Suns and Warriors. Of course, you also have to be patient with the young team, after all, they are all in the growth period, and the ups and downs of the players are understandable. It can only be said that Udoka came to the Rockets late, and if he could come a season earlier, maybe it would be more helpful for Jalen Green's shaping. In Silas' hands, Jalen Green is really wasted.
