The Rockets trailed the Timberwolves by a large margin in the fourth quarter at home, and head coach Udoka conceded defeat after replacing two interior linemen Landale and Big Boban, who had been reduced to water cooler players.
After the game, many fans pointed the finger at Udoka's two favorite players, and the two turned to Sengun and Van Jordan.
One was 8-of-17 with no defense and couldn't protect the rebound, and the other was 2-of-9 with a miserable offense.
In an interview, Udoka pointed out that Sengun was guarded and that he did not criticize Van Jordan. At the beginning, Udoka asked Van Jordan to reject Harden, he is a face-saving person who can't slap himself in the face.
When will there be a rim-protecting center, Sengun can't play a high-end game on this defense! Some Rockets fans have raised questions.
The well-known American media "Bleachers" predicted that the Rockets will use the No. 10 pick from the Nets to select the frame center Missy in the 2024 draft.
Messi and Missi are one letter apart, so it's not Messi it's Missy.
Born in Cameroon in 2004, Missy is 2.13m tall and although his parents and older brother are both players, he has not been trained since he was a child. Because of his crazy height, Missy could no longer play football and could only choose to play basketball.
After just three years of training, Missy proved that he could eat basketball, and he grew from the height of a guard to the height of a center, attracting the attention of many scouts.
Durant's alma mater, the University of Texas, has produced two excellent centers, Myles Turner and Jarrett Allen, who are also the target of many Rockets fans, and former Rockets tough guy PJ Tucker also came from this university. The University of Texas extended an invitation to Missy, but he chose Baylor University.
Missy said in an interview: "This is the right place for me, and I believe this is the best place to help me achieve my goal of playing in the NBA. I have a close relationship with the coaching staff.
Missy had a great performance against Duke, where he played 26 minutes with 11 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks, showing intimidation on the defensive end. This season, Missey averaged 10.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 20 minutes per game, shooting 67.6% from the field and 51.9% from the free throw line.
Missy's athleticism is quite remarkable, and although he has grown taller, he has not lost his speed and flexibility. He's good at eating under the basket, receiving passes from teammates and making open catches with ease. Missy is a good rim protector who can guard the box and also be involved in changing defenses.
Missy's skills are still rough, he doesn't have the ability to attack independently, and it's hard to score away from the basket, let alone open up space. Missy is also extremely inconsistent in terms of free throws, and there has been a situation where he made 0 of 5 free throws in a single game.
It has to be said that Missy is reminiscent of former Rockets center Capela. Capela is also a blue-collar center who eats cakes, is not very good at free throws, has no shooting ability, and was later sent away by the Rockets due to an injury due to a physical decline.
Yahoo Sports broke the news that the Eastern Eagles supermarket is about to open, and there are only two non-sale items on the team, Trae Young and Jalen Johnson. Some Rockets fans hope Stone can bring Capela back, but his declining body and $20 million annual salary are big obstacles. On the other hand, Capela has been a starter for the Hawks all these years, will he be willing to come back to Sengon as a backup?
The Rockets need a center who can protect the rim, and the younger version of Capelamisi is a good choice, and he still has a lot of room to rise.
