This offseason, the Rockets did not renew Jalen Green's contract with the maximum salary, and he is also the only rookie in the top four of the 21st class who has not renewed his contract. Scouts praised Jalen Green's talent when he entered the league, and he has the physical and physical abilities of Jordan and Kobe, starting the first historical level and ranking first in the air. But Jalen Green didn't cash in on those talents. In the third year, there was a decline in statistics, partly because Udoka was a good coach, and Green was replaced on the cold bench if he didn't play well.
So Green's unlimited firing rights were somewhat restricted, and he was even demoted to playing as a substitute at one point. In this way, Jalen Green, who was in a mess, was super god in a small part of the game, super ghost in most games, and didn't break out until after the All-Star break. Shen Jing was reimbursed after playing a small part of the schedule in March. Jalen Green led the team forward in the face of adversity to run an 11-game winning streak, and in March Jalen Green had a big explosion, which is something he has been experiencing every year.
Driving low and walking high has become Jalen Green's exclusive, I don't know if it's because of his good physical fitness, so everyone is tired in the second half, and Jalen Green can play. It's just that this year's Jalen Green looked particularly crazy in the second half, he led the team to 12 wins and 3 losses in March, averaging 28.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game, with a shooting rate of 50% and a three-point shooting rate of 42.3%.
It can be said that Jalen Green in March showed a supernatural talent for offense and defense, and it lasted longer than in the past two years. Broke out in 15 games in a row, without pulling the crotch at all, and Jalen Green broke out after the All-Star two years ago to become a regular program, but it has never been as strong as this year. This may also be the reason why the Rockets did not give up on Jalen Green. Today, the American media "Statistics" released some data from the Rockets after the All-Star break last season, which are closely related to Jalen Green's outbreak. Jalen Green is the weather vane of the Rockets, he can win if he is super god Rockets, and he can lose if he is super ghost Rockets, so whether the Rockets enter the playoffs next season depends on how well Jalen Green can perform.
According to statistics, after the All-Star Games, the Rockets have the fifth record in the league, the fourth in the league in points per game, the first in the league in fast breaks, the fewest turnovers in the league, the fifth in the league in steals, the seventh in the league in rebounds, the second in the league in secondary offensive scoring, and the fifth in the league in scoring turnovers through defense per game. These eight stats all prove that the Rockets are a playoff-level powerhouse and a top team that has reached the top five levels in the league, which is inseparable from Jalen Green's sudden outburst. This is the reason why Jalen Green likes and hates it, what he likes is Jordan's dream performance when he is super-god, 30 points and 40 points can be taken casually, and he hates that iron is not steel, and he is always unable to stabilize the shooting rate and score.
If Jalen Green is a rookie who has never proven himself, then Rockets fans won't be impressed by him, but he can occasionally play supergiants, and Jalen Green is still the first in 21 with 40+ points. Throughout March, Jalen Green scored 42 points twice and 30+ points eight times, which is why he loves and hates. In terms of talent, the entire Rockets can match Jalen Green's Amen Thompson. Amen Thompson, who practiced three-point shooting, would be a younger version of LeBron James. And being able to stabilize the shooting percentage, have a super-giant score and top-notch defense is like giving the Rockets a Jordan Kobe.
Jalen Green has this talent, and various statistics have proven that he has this ability. Jalen Green also has one of the attributes of super-giant, which is slot-resistant. He played 67 games in his first season, 76 in his second season and 82 in his third season. This is enough to match Harden's peak physical endurance ability, such a rookie with a good body and strong cruising, if he can cash in on the talent Rocket's ceiling is very scary, but if he can't cash in on talent, this is a sixth man with unstable offense, inefficiency and poor defense. So Jalen Green is the ceiling Jordan Kobe Bryant, and the lower limit is no ball to play. Jalen Green is really going to be competitive next season, and he doesn't have much time.
