VanVleet will be out for some time, at least in the next game when the Rockets are at home against the Knicks, and the Rockets' core guard will not play. But the Rockets just have Jalen Green. The Rockets lost to the Hawks in the previous game, but Jalen Green didn't have any problems with his performance and even played an All-Star level performance. As a shooting guard, he scored a triple-double of 26+14+10 in this game, which was amazing.
Speaking about his first career triple-double, Jalen Green said excitedly: "It's fantastic, and in my opinion, winning is the most important thing for the team. Everything will be better after our victory. I'm always trying to win, and every time I break through, my opponent will wrap me up, but I've always believed that if we keep trying, we will always get something. I just played with the idea of breaking down and I wanted to create chances for other people, so we didn't have a stagnation. ”
Jalen Green's performance is undoubtedly a bright spot for the Rockets, and his outstanding play has made people look forward to the future of this team. However, the overall weakness of the Rockets remains. Although Jalen Green's breakaway and ball-sharing ability was eye-catching, the rest of the team didn't play well, and in the end, the Rockets lost to the Hawks by nine points. Let Jalen Green become the "bait" of the Rockets' offensive end after holding the ball, attract a large number of packs, and then distribute the ball to teammates and let teammates score, the Rockets' tactics are extremely successful, Jalen Green's 10 assists in a single game is proof. It's a pity that the Rockets are missing a number of cores and will eventually be difficult to beat. But this tactical line of thinking is the right one.
This game also reflects the problems that the Rockets are currently facing. The lack of depth in the squad and the lack of many core players have led to a lack of overall strength in the team. Despite star players like Jalen Green, other players have been inconsistent and have not been able to bring enough support to the team.
For the Rockets, they need to address the depth of the roster and strengthen the team as a whole. At the same time, the team also needs to improve the performance of other players to make the team more balanced. Only then will the Rockets be able to go far in future games.
While the Rockets didn't come out on top of that game, Jalen Green's performance was impressive. He proved his worth with his strength and laid a solid foundation for the future development of the team. In the future, Jalen Green must adhere to this style of play, he can score less, but he must attract the bag and defense, and help his teammates easily steal points, so that the Rockets' tactics will make more wins.
