Boom 26+4+3!Must enter the playoffs, Jalen Green made a military order, talking about the Lake-Yong showdown

In an NBA game that ended today, the Rockets defeated the Bulls 127-117, this battle can be described as ups and downs, the first quarter of the Rockets led by 14 points, the second quarter of the Bulls counterattacked and narrowed the difference, the third quarter Jalen Green broke out, leading the Rockets to press the Bulls to play, the Bulls frequently counterattacked in the final quarter, and even once chased to single digits, Landale made meritorious contributions at the critical moment, and the rebound caused 2+1 to help the Rockets lock the win. In terms of statistics, Jalen Green scored 26 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers, Landale contributed 17 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 3 turnovers, Dillon had 23 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, and Amen Thompson had 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

The momentum of the Rockets is really getting better and better, after beating the Bulls to win 7 consecutive wins, currently 2.5 wins behind the 10th Warriors, the hope of hitting the play-offs has greatly increased, or let's put it another way to prove the strength of the Rockets, according to statistics, in the last 10 games, the Rockets have achieved a good record of 9 wins and 1 loss, and the only loss was a 20-point lead by the Clippers, and in the end it was only a 6-point loss. There may be fans who think that the Rockets win are all weak teams, which is obviously not watching the Rockets' games seriously, the Cavaliers are the 3rd in the East, the Kings are the 8th in the West, and the Suns are 7th in the West, can you say that the strength of these three teams is very weak?

Looking at the whole court, there are three main contributors to the Rockets' victory, first of all, Jalen Green, who continued the hot state of the previous games, staged a tomahawk split in the first quarter, and also hit three points in the second quarter to lead the Rockets to withstand the Bulls' counterattack momentum, the most exciting is the third quarter, after the Bulls narrowed the difference, Green hit three points to successfully stop the bleeding, and at the end of the quarter, Green used his unsolvable singles ability to cut 5 points again, at this time the point difference has come to double digits, and the same is true in the final quarter, Green staged a counterattack dunk. Since Shin Kyung's injury, Green has given us the feeling of regaining confidence, and he has averaged 32.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3 assists per game in the last four games, shooting 53% from the field and 46% from three-point range.

Some time ago, Green was also selected as the best of the week, which means that his outburst is continuous, no longer unpredictable, the reason for this is that it must be admitted that Green and Shen Jing are indeed incompatible, the reason is very simple, Udoka insisted on building around Shen Jing as the core of the team in the past, so in many games Green did not shoot as much as Shen Jing, but this recent period is different, Green has enough balls, and his self-confidence naturally rises sharply, the key is that the offensive end is no longer blindly playing, and every shot is very reasonable, so Green continues to play amazingly, which also gives Udoka a wake-up call, if the offseason Rockets do not trade Shen Jing, next season simply around Green to play, obviously more talented than the Thunder's Alexander, Green really has no reason to lose to him.

The second winner we must praise Landale, similar to Green's situation, Langdale also proved himself after Shen Jing's injury, he played quite tough under the basket in this game, fighting for the frontcourt board positively, creating a lot of secondary scoring opportunities for the Rockets, in the final quarter, Landale sent a block, and the 2+1 at the critical moment helped the Rockets completely lock in the data. Landale may not be as capable of attacking as Shin Kyung, but the defense is much stronger, and Udoka should make adjustments, and Landale is in the starting line-up because Smith is not suitable for the No. 5 position at all. The final winner was Dillon, who shot 10-of-13 from the field, was tough on the defensive end, and came out for Green in the third quarter, although he was ejected, but Dillon had no problem with this behavior.

Jalen Green was interviewed after the game, and when talking about his consistent performance during this period, Green said: "I learned how to crack the opponent's bag, find the middle position, find the open position, and stay aggressive, and then the opponent started to drop back, and I also found open shots, and thanks to the coach and teammates, they have been building confidence for me," These words are easy to understand, Green thinks that he has learned how to crack the bag, and at the same time thanks Udoka and his teammates, it can be seen that Green is still very humble and does not be greedy for credit when winning.

Later, when talking about the current position of the Rockets (11th in the West), Green said: "Obviously, our common goal is the playoffs, that's our only concern, we're not far from the Lakers and the Warriors, that's why we're trying to win, to win as many games as possible before the end of the season, it feels bad to lose, I hate losing," Green has made a military order, he is confident that he will overtake the Lakers and the Warriors, and the Rockets must make the playoffs.

Not only Green, Udoka also talked about this after the game, he said that he came to Houston to lead this young team to the playoffs, it can be seen that the Rockets are full of confidence, their next opponents are the Jazz and the Trail Blazers, and it is expected to extend the winning streak to 9 games, and then it is to play against the Thunder, Jazz, Mavericks and Timberwolves, except for the Jazz, they are all hard stubble, but as mentioned earlier, the current strength of the Rockets should not be underestimated. Finally, Udoka also praised Landale's performance, saying: "Landale can do a lot of different things, and the impact he brings is his speed and all the effort he puts into playing, especially in Shin Kyung's absence, Landale can shoot mid-range, can throw or find teammates, he's good. ”
