The fourth game of the regular season against the Lone Ranger, the Rockets unsurprisingly lost to the opponent, after all, the two teams have a relatively large gap in strength, but the overall performance of the Rockets in the first half of the game is not bad, 60:57 also led the opponent by three points, at the beginning of the second half, the Rockets made 6 consecutive mistakes and finally was played by the Lone Rangers a wave of 12:0, so that the Rockets opened the point-chasing mode, and finally the team lost to the Lone Rangers 10 points 10 points.
The biggest feeling of this game is that, a bit of a pity, the Rockets originally had a chance to win the game. So turn over the post-game data to see, good guys, this game the team's eye show shot 4 of 16, 9 of three points, got 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 turnovers, plus or minus -17, the number of shots with Wood and the first in the whole team, but this offensive efficiency is simply poor to the extreme, and the last game against the Green Army is simply a heaven and an underground, plus not strong enough on the defensive end, several times in a row by Doncic, the defense can not resist, As a result, many fans believe that Jaylen Green is the culprit of the team's loss.
In fact, the Rockets lost this game and really can't turn Green to back the pot, see what role Green is used in the game, I don't know how many times he passed the ball to Green's hands when there were still a few seconds left in the attack, he could only be forced to be a pitcher who received the ball, the whole game gave people the feeling that in addition to the final shot, Green had almost no sense of existence, to put it bluntly, that is, Silas did not draw any tactics for Green at all. If you just use Green as a pitcher, Silas is completely wasting Green's talent, first of all, Green is not a player who is particularly good at shooting, in the past in the development of the league he will be more involved in the team's tactical coordination, but now Green is completely outside the Rockets' tactical system, there is no cooperation with teammates.
As Eric Gordon said, "We played hard, but we didn't play smart enough." We made a lot of bad decisions on the pitch. I know it's because we're a young team and a lot of people are playing important roles that they haven't played before. And there are two reasons for this, the first is that the team does not have a good organizational guard, after Porter Jr. carried the Rockets' organizational banner, the fans complained about him in addition to spitting or complaining, the field of vision is not enough, the passing hesitation, further caused a lot of mistakes, it can be said that he alone dragged a whole team of hind legs.
Then there's Silas, coaching the Rockets for so long, Silas didn't show his particularly outstanding coaching ability, 4 games in the regular season, we saw more players on the field singles, who took the ball who did it, the only thing they were good at was 5-out tactics, one person holding the ball, 4 people standing on the outside waiting, and the players didn't run. This does not show Green's advantage at all, and Silas should learn from the Warriors' game, try to make players run more on the court, and get easy shots through running positions.
The Rockets have lost two games in a row, and if the Rockets' situation doesn't change in the next game, it may really be like NBA expert Hollinger said, Silas will be the first coach to be fired in the new season...
