No. 1 in the league! The Rockets have won seven consecutive games to catch up with the Green Army, Landale has replaced Shin Jing, and Green has been very stable
7 consecutive wins, the last time it was traced back to this result, it was Wei Shao and Harden teamed up, when the Rockets rushed to the Western Conference semifinals, and now the Houston Rockets are still playing a magical performance; Udoka once had a magical playoff record, and there are still a few games left in the regular season, Udoka still hopes to surpass the Lakers, Warriors and other teams, and advance to the Western Conference quarterfinals.
According to Udoka's remarks, he doesn't want the team to appear in the play-offs, after all, it is not easy to go further in a game-winning game, not to mention that the team is now lacking Shin Jing and Whitmore, and the hidden danger of injury will limit the team's ceiling; according to the latest news from the league, the Rockets have won a wave of seven consecutive wins after defeating the Bulls, and the Celtics are on par with the Celtics who are the first in the East.
Judging from the efficiency of the last 10 games, the rise of the Rockets is not accidental, the Celtics still rank first in the league in offensive efficiency and net efficiency, and this team is the most likely to touch the championship this season. The Rockets are fourth in offensive efficiency, defensive efficiency has improved from around 10th to sixth, and their net efficiency is second in the league after the Celtics and first in the entire Western Conference.
It can be seen that in the past 10 games, the Rockets have ranked among the top in the league in terms of offensive and defensive efficiency; with Shen Jing's injury and retirement, the Rockets seem to have found the key to activating the team's offense and defense, that is, to play fast and give full play to the characteristics of the Rockets' young players;
The stats don't lie, because Udoka was forced to adjust his small play, but instead activated the whole team's offense, faster, faster, and the defensive rotation was very aggressive, and Udoka's fire during his time with the Celtics was gradually emerging. In the last six games, Landale averaged 11.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, shooting 64.1% from the field, ranking among the top three on the team in offensive efficiency.
Landale is mainly motivated on the defensive end, he has excellent defensive and rim protection, and on the offensive end can help the team with his finishing ability and frontcourt rebounding, during the Bulls, Langdale shot 6-of-10 from the field, and recorded a season-high 17 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, although he only had two blocks, his role on the court cannot be ignored. He grabbed a total of seven rebounds in the game, and the Rockets scored 19 points with their second offense, helping the home team score 1.21 points per 100 possessions, giving the team a valuable opportunity to win.
Landale does not have the ability to shoot outside, his offensive means are mid-range and small throws, but his high blocking and down-to-go speed is much faster than Shen Jing, this is his advantage, Landale's flexible footwork, his defense and front-court rebounding, just perfectly integrated with this Rockets team; Jalen Green with the presence of Landale's interior line, he averaged 27.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game in March, shooting as high as 47.8%, he can be considered to have played, one step closer to the maximum salary in the offseason.
