In the end, the Houston Rockets could only swallow 8 consecutive defeats, and they could not find a way forward after the All-Star Game. Even against the Magic, the opening was once 14 points ahead, but it was tragically counterattacked by the opponent. The reason is that young players lack experience in big games, many random passes in the game, 13 mistakes in the whole game let the Magic get too many points, and did not have in place in terms of rebounding protection, and the magic used the secondary offensive shooting rate of more than 80%. It can be said that Silas led this team, somewhat worse, and the sudden change of formation may be the key to the failure of this game.
Against the Magic, Silas let Porter Jr. start, and this season when Porter Jr. partnered with Jaylen Green in the backcourt, the efficiency was surprisingly poor, but under pressure from the Rockets' top brass, Silas didn't have much choice. Previously, in several games in which Schroeder joined the Rockets, although the team could not win 1 game, Schroeder activated the leaderboard sign Jaylen Green on the offensive end, and in the 3 games of joining the team, Schroeder averaged 7.6 assists per game, activating his teammates to a certain extent, while allowing Jaylen Green to have a real organizational guard partner.
However, this game Silas still wants to try, the result is no accident to punch the face, Porter Jr. will not match Jaylen Green after all, and the Rockets will also focus on cultivating Jaylen Green, so if there is no accident, Schroeder will still appear on the starting list in the next game. Unfortunately, in the end, they lost to the Magic by 8 points, but the Rockets played their own style, especially continued the run-bomb tactical play, hitting 14 three-pointers in the whole game, scoring 42 points, using the Magic team's 18 turnovers to score 21 points, the boys are eager to end their own losing streak, but in terms of key data, the Rockets have always lacked experience.
Despite the defeat, Jaylen Green gradually returned to the right track, playing 30 minutes in the whole game, scoring 23 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 1 turnover, scoring more than 20 points in two consecutive games, far exceeding the average of 5.2 points. It can be seen that when the Rockets have a real point guard, the team can play some incredible offense.
From a tactical point of view, when Schroeder holds the ball, because of his own threat, his breakthrough can attract opponents to pack the clip, thus creating empty opportunities for other teammates and making it easier for teammates to score. And Jaylen Green is in such a system, averaging 20 points per game in the last three games, when the Rockets are in a losing streak, Jaylen Green finally found the offensive end, and the biggest contributor behind it is Schroeder, and then Silas should regain himself, after straightening Schroeder, try to let Porter Jr. lead the bench, whether it can end the losing streak, we wait and see.
