In a game that ended today, the Lone Ranger won 116-106 over the Rockets. In this game, the Rockets doubled in the backcourt, with Jaylen Green 4 of 16 and Porter 4 of 10. But for the Rockets, it doesn't matter if they lose. The rebuild is not done overnight, last season was swinging to Get Jaylen Green, this season the Rockets' first-round signing is in their own hands, so sticking to the swing is a good choice, next year is the big year on the inside, the Rockets also need a big building block.
In fact, the Rockets are now imitating the rise of the Hawks and the Suns, and last season the Suns reached the Finals, that is, they insisted on the rot, they got Devon Booker, and then won the Yuanlang Ayton inside and outside. While preparing for the record, the Suns got Chris Paul again. The same goes for the Rockets, who let Jaylen Green develop for a year this season and then get an interior line. In this way, the Rockets can slowly cash in on their talents after 2-3 years of savings. Or bring in a superstar, or sign a point guard who can make the team better.
At least for now, the rocket's mission is still very well accomplished. Jaylen Green didn't play the last game against the Celtics to score 30 points. But like we said, Green is still too thin. And Silas didn't lay out tactics for Green, basically acting as a shooter. The Rockets are still waiting for Green to gain weight to strengthen the confrontation. After all, Grimm's historic first step of initiation and bounce are still his strongest weapons, but all of this requires core strength to lay the foundation.
In addition to Green, the Rockets' strategy of taking a high shot also worked. Wood and Eric Gordon have both brushed up good numbers, and Porter Jr. is not the starting No. 1 position that the Rockets can revolve around in the future. It's hard for all three of them to be the core of the Rockets, and the best strategy now is to make all three of them play with value. One thing to say, Wood is still good today and brushed down the data of 16 points and 17 boards. Wood is averaging 20.2 points, 12.2 boards and 1 cap per game this season, shooting 46% from the field and 45.5% from three-point range. Hailed as the most cost-effective big forward at the moment. Lone Ranger Bo Shen's top salary is 2 out of 10 soft batch.
Wood's annual salary this year is 13.3 million, and the contract will expire in 23 years, which means that the Rockets will use it for another year this year, and they will have to consider dumping Wood at a high price. Because he always wanted a top salary, and the Rockets couldn't give it to him. And then there's Eric Gordon, who started the season too explosively. In the last three games, Gordon has scored 22 points, 22 points and 18 points respectively. In the new season, he averaged 15.2 points per game in 25 minutes, shooting 53.8% from the field and 55.6% for three-pointers.
Today's full-game round face deng became the rocket's only thigh, he shot three-point long-range shots on the outside line, breaking through the layup was basically unstoppable. Defensive end Gordon also has a limiting effect on Doncic. Doncic's several singles against Gordon have been fruitless, and it can be said that Gordon's Mitchell nemesis strength has not declined. The only hidden danger for Gordon now is injury, if he can always be healthy, the Rockets can at least exchange him for a first-round pick, if there is a championship team interested in even two.
Gordon has proven his ability to play hard in the playoffs in the past few years with the Rockets, and although Gordon is not as strong as Holliday, it will not be much worse, and the Bucks have hollowed out everything in order to get Holliday. Gordon must have been the most popular player at the mid-season trade deadline, and if not for the injury, Gordon would have left the Rockets last season. Now the Rockets are sitting firmly on the fishing platform, depending on which team gets the round face at a high price. After all, Tucker's deal has already won the Bucks championship.
