In the NBA regular season, the Houston Rockets hosted the Memphis Grizzlies and won 117-104.
The win took the Rockets' winning streak to four games and improved their record to 12-9 and ranked 7th in the WestThe Memphis Grizzlies, on the other hand, suffered a three-game losing streak and dropped to 6-17 and moved up to 14th place in the West.
In the game, the Rockets' backup forward veteran Jeff Green was still in excellent form.
He played a total of 13:09, shooting 3-of-3 from the field and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line, contributing nine points and three rebounds.
Despite his limited time, Green was efficient on the offensive end and posed a threat to the opposition's interior.
His time on the pitch has also contributed to the team's overall performance.
It is no exaggeration to say that Green's consistent play was an important factor in the Rockets' defeat of their opponents and their winning streak.
So far this season, Green has made 20 appearances for the team, averaging 64 points 24 rebounds 06 assists 02 steals 04 blocks and a shooting percentage of 549% and a three-point shooting percentage of 333% and 82% free throw shooting.
It shows that even at 37 years old, Green is still in excellent shape, with incredible athleticism and an integral part of the Rockets' second lineup.
In fact, the Rockets' significant improvement in record is closely related to the addition of Green.
This summer, the Rockets used their more than $60 million salary space to sign Green to a two-year, $19.2 million contract that also includes an annual award clause of $1.6 million, with a team option for the second year.
Before the start of the season, it was widely believed that the contract was too expensive, and although Green performed well last season, his form clearly declined, and the Rockets paid twice as much as he did when he was with the Denver Nuggets.
However, once the season began, Green quickly earned the team's approval with his outstanding performances.
Despite being forced to play in a position where he was not comfortable for long periods of time, Green maintained an extremely consistent performance.
Whether it's offense or defense, he can provide tremendous support to the Rockets.
While Green's contract may have been overrated, judging by his performance, the contract isn't as loss-making as everyone thinks.
