Blood Cap Tatum + Raw Brown Scored 3 Points! The Rockets Swallowed 32 Points and Lost Figma The 19-year-old White Devil became a fig leaf
On January 14, Beijing time, the NBA regular season competition continued, and the Green Army sat at home to face the Rockets. On the other hand, the Rockets have become one of the dark horses in the West after the end of the rebuild, but they have been in poor form recently, suffering from injury problems, and the Rockets narrowly defeated the Pistons in their last game to end a four-game losing streak.
At the beginning of the game, the Rockets entered the state early, and the Green Army responded in the middle of the quarter, and then the two teams launched an offensive battle, relying on the outside projection advantage, and the Green Army led by 4 points at 35-31 at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Green Army maintained abundant firepower, and the Rockets burst into consecutive points at multiple points inside and outside, and the Rockets' offensive state plummeted, and the Green Army stretched the advantage to double digits 69-58 at halftime.
Yibian fought again, the offensive firepower of the Green Army was further improved, and the score difference was stretched to more than 25 points in a single quarter, and the game lost suspense early, and finally the Rockets lost to the Green Army by 32 points with a 113-145 defeat.
In the face of such a performance of the team, Rockets coach Udoka publicly criticized the team when talking about the team's performance in the third quarter (28-43 losing by 15 points in a single quarter) after the game.
"I didn't like the competitive attitude that the team showed in the third quarter, the team tried some different defensive strategies, but most of them didn't work," Udoka said. ”
It is worth mentioning that as the former coach of the Green Army, this game was the first time that Udoka led the team back to the North Shore Garden Arena, and during the pre-game introduction, the crowd cheered and booed.
Judging from the content of the game, in the face of a top team like the Green Army, the Rockets performed poorly, showing the gap between this dark horse Rockets and the really strong team.
Among them, the internal and external dual-core dumb fire, in which the backcourt core VanVleet was completely locked, played 22 minutes and 38 seconds in the whole game, only 2 of 6 shots, got 5 points, 1 rebound, 7 assists, 100,000 yuan, plus or minus -15.
In the face of opponents of the level of the Green Army, VanVleet did not fall behind on the defensive end, but he couldn't open the situation at all on the offensive end, which did not match the 40 million value.
The shortcomings of Shen Jing, the core of the inner line, are completely exposed, and in the face of the teamwork of the Green Army's multi-point flowering, Shen Jing's defense is like paper paste.
played 24 minutes and 30 seconds in the game, 8 of 17, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 19 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals, which seems to be good, but there were also 3 turnovers, and there was no sense of presence on the defensive end.
This is also a microcosm of Shin Kyung's overall performance this season, and if he wants to go one step further to become an All-Star level interior lineman, Shin Kyung needs to polish his defensive details and skills.
The 19-year-old rising star "White Devil" Whitmore who came off the bench became the fig leaf for the Rockets in this game, playing well against the top team Green Army.
He played 27 minutes off the bench, shooting 7-of-13 from the field and 6-of-8 from the free-throw line, scoring a team-high 22 points, plus seven rebounds, one steal and one block, and scoring a career-high 22 points per game.
In the face of the strong opponent Green Army, the White Devils showed a strong psychological state, daring to fight at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and successfully scored 2+1 3 points on the offensive end.
On the defensive end, he faced Tatum with a big hat.
