Today's game between the Rockets and the Raptors, the Rockets played really badly in this game. The offensive end can't keep up, and the defensive end can't either, both offensive and defensive ends are digging holes, and the final result is that the Rockets are pressed and beaten throughout the game. Even if the second quarter was overtaken and the end was approaching, it still lost. Especially for Shin Kyung and Green, Udoka directly abandoned the two of them, and he already felt hopeless.
In fact, for Shen Jing, his troubles are already a common topic. One is his defense, which is already a natural disadvantage. In particular, Poeltl played O'Neill in front of Shin Kyung. Basically, he is a professional player in the NBA, he can be pinched, and he will continue to be named. And then there's his assist, just one in this game. He's a player who plays with strategy, but he can't show it in this game. How can he be aggressive when he can't show his strengths offensively and defensively?
There is also Green, who is also a helpless point. Because this game is not good inside and outside. It was hard to get up before, but today the dribble will fall, there are no three points, and the passing is inexplicable, causing him to be unable to help in all aspects of the offensive end. Plus Green's defense isn't very good either. Now, it's really hard for him to be consistent. That said, neither can Green.
In this trend, in fact, these two people cannot become the absolute core at all. After all, one has no defense, the other is unstable in attack, and they really can't help the team stabilize the advantage.
Now, the Rockets really can't do without VanVleet. Because he needs to control the team's rhythm on the offensive end, without him, then Shin Kyung and Green will suffer on the offensive end. On the one hand, Van Vleet can play with the ball on his own, and on the other hand, he can create a deterrent point for his teammates. So if he is injured at this point, it will be really difficult for the Rockets to play an advantage on the offensive end, which is also the key factor why VanVleet has been dead grass before.
