Doncic's confirmation of the absence from the game before the game allowed the match to reduce some of the highlights. The top priority for the Rockets was to keep their picks, and the Lone Rangers didn't want to play the playoffs, so both teams worked toward their goals, and the results were obvious, and the Rockets struggled a bit before giving the Lone Rangers a win.
A loss is no longer painful for Rockets fans who have played 55 games this season, but it is surprising to say that there are only 9 games left in this state. However, on the eve of the end of this season, the Rockets also completed a signing, through a two-way contract to officially sign Anthony Lamb, last season Lamb was a member of the Rockets, at the end of the season to join the Rockets again, I believe That Lamb is no stranger to the Rockets' current tactical system, but combined with the progress of the current season, should not get too many opportunities, at least today the game side did not see Lamb's arrival, after all, the Vipers are a subsidiary team of the Rockets, the record is also good, Signing Lamb may or may not be in case!
In fact, the rocket half and the lone ranger play is still very anxious, the point difference has not been opened, unfortunately the second half of the rocket offensive end suddenly muted, even if the game still has a hint of suspense, but the last quarter of the five up and five down, directly withdraw the main force Mingjin to collect the troops, the substitute directly into the garbage time, the last win a little excitement on the line, after all, to take the team to win the title, if it is because of the possibility of winning the title, this is unacceptable to the entire rocket team.
In this game, Silas still adheres to egalitarianism, except for Green's playing time of more than 30 minutes, the starting 4 are all in more than 20 minutes, but Green is in poor form, hitting only 3 goals in 11 shots, 0 of 3 points, 4 of 3 points, 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. But still want to be this game on the conclusive, even if you lose the game, but also give Green some more opportunities to shoot, find more game feelings, the game seems, Green basically has no ball rights, basically the ball is still in wood and Little Porter's hands back and forth, Green is there watching, no matter how poor Porter Jr.,still dominates the Rockets players, Green still can't see that he is a player with a core position.
In addition to Green, the wood that broke out on the field instantly returned to its original form, shooting 4 of 10 in this game, 1 of 5 from three points, only 12 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist, weak interior defense is still the key to expanding the score of the Lone Ranger, constantly entering the basket, causing killing, the Lone Ranger season limits the opponent's three-point first, defensive efficiency 6th, the limit suppression of both ends of the attack and defense, directly playing the Rockets, no counterforce, and you can see some frustration when you start the game.
People did not expect that today's Rockets' best performer is Shen Jing, 6 of 12 shots, got 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, the two doubles data of this game is the sixth double-double of the season, compared with the level of the two doubles of the teacher, Shen Jing still has a lot of room for improvement, but it is not easy for rookies.
The locker room celebration after winning the Wizards in the previous game can also be seen that the Turkish young man is very happy to participate in it, and it can also be seen that the team integrates quickly, not an introverted big man. After all, basketball is a 5-person sport, the field needs non-stop communication, remember the UAE and Dayao in the NBA when the crazy tuition english also understand, obviously, Shen Jing in this aspect is doing very well, the current rocket also for Shen Jing to develop tactics, has the potential to become a front-line center, look forward to a moment in the future is a moment that belongs to Shen Jing!
