7 losses in the last 10 games! The Rockets started high and went low, Stone made mistakes in a hurry, and three of the four signings were lost

With the arrival of All-Star Weekend, the teams also ushered in a short break, in this time period we can talk about the performance of some teams in the past period, it can be said that in February of each season, some teams that want to record will start to exert their strength, because they have found chemistry during this time period, and the team has also reached the stage of starting to exert force, and many pseudo-strong teams will have a decline in their performance in this time period, after all, everyone has begun to move seriously.

The recent record of the Jazz and the Rockets is very bad, the Jazz have suffered 4 consecutive losses in the past period, and the Jazz have a bad record can be understood, after all, they are still in the rebuilding stage, the team is short of talent and it is not yet time to pursue the record, and the Rockets decided to start pursuing the record last offseason, the team has hoarded enough talent in the past few years, and they have brought in several veterans in the offseason.

As a result, at the beginning of the season, the Rockets had occupied the top eight rankings in the division for a long time, but recently as the teams began to exert their strength, they gradually showed their shortcomings, the team lost 7 of the last 10 games, and is now ranked 12th in the West with a record of 24 wins and 30 losses.

The reason why the Rockets are high and low this season, one of the main reasons is that they have not hit the top ten in the division, although they have been strengthened in the offseason, but the reinforcement effect is not good, they introduced coach Udoka, Udoka's defensive system is indeed good, but his existence is also hindering the ceiling of the Rockets, and it has always been the veterans, so that Jabari Smith and Green These talents can not be used, and they are abandoned at critical moments, so it also leads to the two of them not improving this season.

Udoka may be a qualified head coach of a mature team, but he is definitely not suitable for teaching a young team like the Rockets, who signed him with a four-year, 28.5 million contract, which can be said to be not profitable. In addition, the team signed Van Jordan with a 3-year 130 million super cap salary, although Van Jordan became a star in the Raptors, but at that time it was more because he played in Toronto, for Canadian ratings, almost every year the league will choose a Toronto player to become an All-Star, like Sika before and Barnes this season.

Van Jordan does not have the strength of a star at all, although he is strong defensively, but his ability is very limited, this season Van Jordan averaged only 16.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game, and the shooting rate was as low as 41%, and the offensive efficiency was very inefficient. The team also signed a veteran like Jeff Green with a 2-year, 9 million contract, who is 37 years old and used to have a base salary, but now he is a mini middle class in the Rockets.

Green is averaging 6.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game this season, which is really good as a 37-year-old veteran, but he is definitely not worth the price. The Rockets made 4 signings in the offseason, and now it is Dillon's operation, they are not a loss, 4 years and 80 million can sign a 3D like Dillon is not bad, this season Dillon can average 14.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 40%, he supports the Rockets' defensive system.

Stone's quick success to be honest made a big mistake this time, the team's failure to operate is a small matter, the key is that several core members of the team, Jalen Green and Jabari Smith, are now unable to cash in on their talents, according to the current situation, Green is likely to not be able to get the contract he wants in the offseason, and he may also be dumped by the Rockets at a very low price, is Green incapable?

It doesn't seem to be, he has averaged 30+ per game in 5 consecutive games in the past period, and has also scored a triple-double in a single game, but even if he plays so well, as long as the team is behind, Udoka will let him take the blame, not let him play, and directly do not give him the opportunity to make mistakes, Green's talent is very good, although the ball quotient is not high, but he can increase his experience through the game, but now Udoka directly does not give him the opportunity to increase experience.

Jabari Smith has actually shown his talent this season, averaging 13.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 46%, if Shen Jing is given the ball, then Smith may play better than Shen Jing, but he is only a blue-collar role now, and the Rockets are interested in focusing on developing Shen Jing, and it is true that Shen Jing is very comprehensive, but his shortcomings are also obvious, slow movement, and the defensive end will be targeted.

Shen Jing's ceiling is obviously not comparable to Green and Jabari Smith, but the Rockets' quick success has made them miss the opportunity to cultivate the list and explore the flowers, and now many veterans are long-term contracts, and the team will inevitably chase the record in the next few years, Green and Smith are delayed by the Rockets.
