Rocket data: Shen Jing 15 points, 10 rebounds and 3 turnovers, the offense is okay, but the defense is almost none, and he was burst by Watts for several rounds in the third quarter, which is also Shen Jing's biggest shortcoming, strong offense and weak defense, no wonder he wants to trade to get Adams, but Adams will only be back next season. And Jalen Green was 3 of 15, 0 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws to get 8 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists, which was a disaster. VanVleet had 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 4 blocks, and his performance was okay, but 40 million was definitely not worth it.

Udoka can't be stubborn anymore, if Green doesn't have a touch, then don't let him shoot, it's better to let Smith and the White Devils play more, you must know that Green's biggest problem is that he is not consistent enough. Looking at the whole court, the Rockets bit the point difference in the first half, but in the third quarter, Edwards broke out, and the Rockets suddenly collapsed, unable to prevent him, and he was powerless in the final quarter. After the loss to the Timberwolves, the Rockets are still in 11th place in the West, only 0.5 wins ahead of the Warriors.
