The Rockets host the 76ers, both teams have serious injuries, the core of the 76ers Embiid has not returned from an ankle injury, the Rockets' Dillon and Jabari Smith are out due to injury, Udoka put the veteran Jeff Green and Tate on the start, the Rockets started with a burst of hands, and quickly established a lead after hitting three points in a row, while the 76ers did not have many scoring points, and could only rely on Maxey to score alone, in the second quarter Maxey scored 19 points to help the team continue to narrow the difference, in the second half, the Rockets relied on the inside advantage to expand the score again, the Rockets entered the final quarter with a 7-point lead, and Beverley and Morris hit a difficult three-point shot at the last moment, the Rockets made a huge mistake in the last offense, and finally lost to the 76ers 127-131 at home, suffering a three-game losing streak.
The two are excellent. Shen Jing: 12 of 16 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers got 28 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, plus or minus +12, Shen Jing will be caught in the low post at the beginning, so Shen Jing got more opportunities to assist his teammates to score, and he ate two offensive fouls in the second quarter to lay the groundwork for the end, scored 13 points in the third quarter, and scored 6 points in the fourth quarter to help the team bite the score, but unfortunately the last two tactical fouls had no choice but to leave the court with six fouls, otherwise the Rockets might really have equalized the score.
Green: 12 of 19 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers got 31 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, plus/minus -7, Green performed very well in this game, whether it was a breakthrough or an offensive threat outside the three-point line, scored 11 points in the fourth quarter, hit a difficult three-pointer at the last moment to help the team retain hope, and did not dare to try a difficult three-point in the face of defense when executing the last offense, but passed the ball to Landale, the Rockets trailed by 3 points, even if Landale scored a layup, it didn't help, and the funny thing is that Landale also missed this simple layup。
Two good. Ethan: 5 of 13 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers got 10 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, plus or minus -8, Ethan's defense is airtight, several times behind the break fast break score, and also grabbed 5 frontcourt rebounds, the only deficiency is that the three-point shooting rate needs to be improved.
Jeff Green: 5-of-11 shooting, 0-of-2 three-pointers, 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, plus/minus -7.
One person has a flaw.
VanVleet: 9 of 16 shots, 8 of 12 three-pointers got 33 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, plus/minus -3, VanVleet hit two three-pointers in a row at the beginning, and the three-point hand was hot all over the game, and finally shot a difficult three-point to help the team overtake the score, VanVleet's verbal attack stimulated Beverley, Beverley scored 5 points in a row to help the 76ers lead again, and at the last moment, VanVleet's shooting options were a little too confident, always like to force a shot beyond the three-pointer, and did not give Green a chance to dominate the ball。
