The Rockets suffered a losing streak to the Lakers away and are currently ranked tenth in the West. Shen Jing was too anxious to shoot in the low post, it was an old problem, not in his own rhythm, he didn't effectively grasp the opportunity in this game, but the three points were more decisive today, and Davis still did a good job of defending.
Green can't play blocking and dismantling with Shen Jing, the passing technique and time are not well mastered, and he can't even pass out, the finishing ability under the basket is too poor, and he is prone to mistakes, Green still needs to hold the ball, 6 mistakes in this game are correct, but there is only one game this season, Udoka can let Jalen Green sit on the bench and observe the rhythm of the game more.
Smith Jr. is playing very well, positioning clearly, doing his own thing, and it can be seen that he is still good in terms of mid-range shooting, Ethan feels a little out of form and is a little out of the game, while Dillon and VanVleet have done well enough.
As for Udoka, in the end, Udoka's substitutions are too conventional, and when the situation can't be opened, you can try to change the lineup and arrange for Whitmore to go up and play, because the Rockets bench is too weak, this team obviously has Shen Jing as the core, consider staggering the playing time of Shen Jing, Jalen Green and VanVleet. In short, if the Rockets want to enter the playoffs, Udoka should think about rotation, or other tactics, and can't always count on the tactic of blocking and picking!
