63 points and 22 rebounds! The Rockets are second in history! Seven wins in the next 10 games, and the value of Houston's take-off list exceeds expectations
The Rockets set a staggering record in a game yesterday when star Jalen Green slashed 63 points and 22 rebounds to lead the team to a 147-125 victory over the Thunder. Not only did the win take the Rockets to a three-game winning streak, but more importantly, the game was the second-highest single-game scoring record in NBA history.
Green's stellar performance isn't just in scoring, he's just as good at controlling the rebound. The 22 rebounds made Green only the third player in Rockets history to score at least 60 points and 20 rebounds in a single game. The game was also the first time since the 1973-74 season that the Rockets had a player score at least 60 points and 20 rebounds. Although the Rockets had some ups and downs at the start of the season, they have gradually found their rhythm in recent times. Over their last 10 games, the Rockets have a 7-3 record, including wins over powerhouses such as the Bucks, Nuggets, and Thunder. This shows that the Rockets have what it takes to compete with the league's top teams.
Although the Rockets only picked up the No. 1 pick in this season's draft, they have clearly picked a rookie with great potential. The value of the top player has exceeded expectations, and he not only has excellent scoring ability, but also can provide strong support to the team on the defensive end. As the game progressed, the rookie's strength and value became more and more recognized.
Although the Rockets are currently only 13th in the West, they have clearly shown their quality and potential. In the next games, if the Rockets can continue to maintain this form, they will be expected to achieve better results in the future rankings. After all, the Rockets have some extremely talented young players, and their growth and improvement will be key to the team's future development.
Of course, there are a few issues that the Rockets need to be aware of. For example, their performance on the defensive end needs to be improved and they need to do a better job of limiting the opponent's scoring. In addition, the team's control of errors in the game also needs to be strengthened to avoid giving the opponent an easy chance to score.
Overall, though, the Rockets' performance was surprising enough. They have shown a lot of quality and potential, and as long as they continue to do so, they will hopefully achieve even better results in future competitions. As a young team, the Rockets still have a lot of room to grow and improve, which is where their future development potential lies.
This game against the Thunder is just a microcosm of the Rockets' rise. In the days ahead, the Rockets will face more challenges and opportunities. They need to continue to train and compete hard to keep improving their quality and level to meet the challenges and opportunities ahead. Only then can they truly realise their potential and become a better team.
Finally, let's hope that the Rockets will continue to maintain this form in future games and create more surprises and wonderful performances!
