At 05:00 Beijing time on November 7, the NBA regular season is underway, and this game is played by the Rockets away to the Nuggets. The Rockets are currently 1-7, and the Rockets have recently suffered six consecutive losses, but this season they have mainly trained young players, and the record is not so important. The team's overall defensive and missteps are downstream in the league, which is a situation that often occurs with young players.
Jaylen Green is still in the process of adapting, although he can average 14.8 points per game but is less efficient, Shen Jing, Tate and others show their talents, but still need time to grow. As for Garupa and Christopher, the technological maturity is low, and it needs to be further tempered in the development alliance.
As for Kevin Porter, in fact, he belongs to the scorer, should be the role of the second boss, similar to Murray, Middleton and other players; from last season, Porter Jr. is more inclined to play positional battles, the body can suppress most of the defenders, the skills are relatively perfect, in theory, his hard conditions for playing the giant planet are high-quality. However, Silas was whimsical, thinking that he could grow into the next James Harden, so he changed to point guard. Such adjustments have further amplified his weakness in poor organizational skills and passing ability; the number of turnovers in the league is very telling, and Porter's offensive rhythm has been completely disrupted, resulting in players and teams "losing both".
Overall, the Houston Rockets lacked a "strategizing, decisive victory" organizer, Augustine's limited ability and age, not the right person, so Stone is thinking of a way in this regard, he targeted Simmons, who was in a fight with the Philadelphia 76ers. According to Rockets reporter Kelly Iko, sources revealed that the Houston Rockets are speeding up negotiations with the Philadelphia 76ers, and Stone is very eager to get Simmons and sees him as an important part of the team's future.
Despite his lack of shooting ability, Simmons was still able to finish with 14.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists last season; compared to Kevin Porter, who only plays iron except for mistakes, Simmons's organizational ability is online, which can comb the Rockets' offense very well; and his defensive ability is good, and he can form a formidable backcourt combination with Jaylen Green. As for Potter, "trees move dead, people move alive", let him play point guard has proven to be a failed experiment, perhaps sent to the bench, let Potter let go of the hammer may be able to reactivate him.
