In the game between the Bucks and the Rockets on January 7, Beijing time, the Rockets have been using fouls to limit the play of Brother Alphabet in the first half, which also allowed them to win by 20 points at halftime. In the whole game, even though Brother Alphabet scored 48 points alone, the Rockets' defense on the outside could restrain their play, which also allowed the Rockets to maintain their advantage in the second half, and finally won the game 112-108.
In this game, the Rockets' bench completed the salvo. Especially for Jeff Green, he played very well today overall. Especially for a period of time, Jeff Green scored consecutive points to help the team withstand the disadvantage in the second half. He scored 16 points on 5-of-11 shooting in the game, and the overall contribution was very large. And Whitmore played very tough today, in fact, his temperament on the court has always been very good, attacking when he has the opportunity, making kills against Brother Alphabet, a natural scorer. In this trend, 4 of 6 scored 12 points, giving substantial value.
And Holiday also convinced everyone in this game. It has been a collapse performance before, and this game was decisive and fast in 3-point shooting, scoring 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting, and completing its task well. Amen's 2-of-3 stats of 4+3+5, especially his playmaking ability, was a huge surprise. In fact, he is a playmaker-oriented player, and the overall contribution of this game is still okay.
And today, Green's play is remarkable. In the time when the team opened the score, he could score consecutive points. Even with 16 points on 5-of-12 shooting, this is already a relatively good starter. Of course, his stability is still not good, and he still needs to continue to grow.
Helplessly, Shen Jing and Van Vleet are frantically striking iron. Especially for Shen Jing, he has been playing alone under the basket all the time, and the success rate under the basket is not good. Even in the case of throwing, he was hit by the Bucks and counterattacked. 7-of-20 from the field, which is obviously not enough. And VanVleet didn't shoot well today, 4-of-13, and he started his own performance again. It is very inexplicable to take a three-point lead and not press the time.
