The three young played well, and Hayward was still sluggish
After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' performance, this game Thunder side Alexander shot 11 of 21, 3 of 5 three-pointers got 31 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Jay Wei got 24 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks on 11 of 17 shots, Holmgren got 18 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks on 6 of 13 shots.
Giddey is the No. 6 pick in the first round in 21, and he also has the potential to become the core, but he sacrificed data for the team, and when the team needs him to score, he can still stand up, and he shot 6 of 11 from the field, and 1 of 3 from three-point range to get 14 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
Hayward still can't find form after joining the Thunder, when the Thunder sent Treman, Bertans, Micic and two second-round picks to get Hayward, now the deal Thunder lost, they wanted to get Hayward to improve the team's bench firepower, but Hayward has almost no effect on the team, and it is also speechless, Hayward got 5 points, 3 rebounds and 0 assists on 2 of 5 shots in this game.
Green and Van Jordan are still inefficient
On the side of the Rockets, Shen Jing tried his best in this game, he shot 8 of 13 from the field, 0 of 1 from three-point range, and got 23 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, but Jalen Green is still very inefficient, 6 of 17 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers got 16 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and the whole game was covered 5 times, his ball quotient is indeed very limited, in this case, to be honest, Udoka might as well give Whitmore and Amen Thompson some more opportunities.
Van Jordan's play in this game is also very spicy, with 5 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal on 2-of-11 shooting, the only satisfactory performance on the team is Jabari Smith, he shot 6 of 16 from the field, 1 of 6 three-pointers got 18 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Smith has played a double-double in three consecutive games, and his talent is indeed outstanding as a 22-year draft pick.
If Jabari Smith could develop his offensive ability with the ball in the future, his ceiling would be even better, and he is playing so well as an off-ball shooter now. Whitmore got 9 points and 1 rebound, and Amen Thompson got 2 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current Thunder and Rockets?
