Why did the Rockets lose to the Lakers?Which players in the team are doing well and which are mediocre or terrible?Let's take a look at the game. In the game against the Lakers, the Rockets' overall performance was not ideal, suffering an offensive and defensive collapse, and finally ended in a loss. However, the excellent performances of Shin Kyung, VanVleet and Smith earned the team some glory, especially Shin Kyung's performance in key moments, which almost turned the team around. Van Vleet found his form in the second half and managed to stabilize the team's back line.
Smith has been a consistent core of the team, playing well on both ends of the floor and becoming a mainstay of the team. Despite the continuous iron in the final quarter, Shin Jing still won the game with 21+13 data. These performances have brought some glimmer of hope to the team's defeat. However, Dillon, Ethan, Holiday and Whitmore performed as passing and mediocre. Dillon is good on the offensive end, but has problems with rebounding and lacks enough desire on the defensive end. Ethan's defense and rebounding are okay, but his offensive ability is completely inhibited in the face of the thick eyebrows' defense.
Holiday didn't play well on the downside, didn't show the ability to break through, and fortunately had a good shooting percentage. Whitmore was able to prove his worth when he played in garbage time, but he didn't get more playing time. The performance of these players, while passing, did not actually help the team much. The performance of Tate, Jeff Green, and Jalen Green can be said to have collapsed. They were unable to bring any substantial value to the team, not only in terms of scoring on the offensive end, but also in the defensive end. Jeff Green, in particular, was completely lost today, which was a surprise.
And Jalen Green's turnovers and shooting percentage are pretty bad, and once he loses his form, it will send the whole team into panic and trouble. Despite the defeat in this game, the Rockets still had some players who performed well and gave fans some highlights to look forward to. The excellent performances of Shin Kyung, VanVleet and Smith, as well as the acceptable performances of Dillon, Eason, Holiday and Whitmore, have brought some confidence to the team in the upcoming games. However, the collapse performances of Tate, Jeff Green, and Jalen Green are also a wake-up call for the team to need more training and adjustments.
I hope the team can achieve better results in the next games and bring more surprises to the fans. What adjustments do you think the Rockets will need to make in the upcoming games?Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
