The Rockets lost 113-129 to the Suns at home. In this game, the Rockets did not play well at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and it was true that there were too many disadvantages overall, which ultimately led to a fiasco.
No one in the game was a perfect score, and the passing players were Green, Shin Jing, Tate, Whitmore, Ethan, Smith, Jeff Green and Landale. Among them, Shen Jing and Green said that their statistics on the court are indeed okay. Green was 6-of-12 from three-point range and finished with 23 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. However, the embarrassing thing is that his defense and breakthrough are still not visible, and he cannot give the team 100% recognition. There is also Shen Jing, who scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 2 breaks in 9 of 18, and the data is not bad. It's just that his data is good-looking, and he can't give substantial help in other aspects. The defensive end is a hole, and the offensive end has no solution, which is very frustrating.
As for Tate, today's score was a big surprise, with 7 points on 3-of-3 shooting, but the defensive end of the floor slipped in a surprising situation. Whitmore played a decent game this time, after all, the style of play was mature, and there were even three three-pointers in the final quarter, which seemed to be slowly exercising. Ethan was a consummate defensive player, with five steals in the game, but the offensive end was a bit sluggish. In the end, Landale is decent, 2 out of 4 get 5+5 data, and the overall contribution is not bad.
At the same time, with Smith out of injury today, his defense and rebounding are the basic game. After his injury, it was a huge challenge for the team's forward line. In addition, Jeff Green's performance is okay, although the offensive statistics are not very good, he is still the mainstay of the team.
But VanVleet, Holiday and Amen are all signs of a crash. Van Vleet, in particular, was unable to drive the team's fluidity in this game. In fact, there has always been this problem during this time, that is, he is too tight on the offensive end, and he is only interested in Shin Jing, which is very inexplicable. Holiday is still a big tumor, and it has indeed erupted before, but in this game, he was 4 of 13, and this kind of shooting rate is not good, and his organizational ability is completely out of sight. Amen's shooting has become a huge flaw, with a 1-of-6 shooting from the field, and Bullock can't even show any value.
