23 wins, 28! Two accidents disrupted Udoka's plans
He gave up a big contract. Class 21 rookies Green and Morioka are both missing, which is unbearable for Rockets fans and manager Yudoka.
Morioka played with Green in the fourth quarter and scored just 14 points, but the team was beaten by more than 20 points.
After the race, according to the United States, Morioka had his career-worst 20:53 in the race, while Green had only 22 minutes and 24 seconds, which was also his fourth worst of the season.
In an interview, Udoka praised the team's excellent performance and felt they deserved a fourth-quarter victory. Udoka said there was a sense of urgency in this game. At the end of 51 seasons, they still have to see how they are doing and what they have to do.
Now, the Rockets have gone 23-28, which is better than last season, but that doesn't satisfy their fans. Last season, in the draft, the Rockets even deliberately lost the first pick in some games. This season, the Rockets have spent a lot of money, but they are only 12th in the East, and some fans even openly claim that if Silas leads the team, the team can get more wins.
It's worth mentioning that Silas still has his own tactics, and he has ensured that Green can play with his stride and score well. At the same time, Silas made it clear that there are plenty of problems at the back for Forest.
In fact, Udoka also saw the contradiction between Green and Morioka, and intended to replace Bigelow with another player.
However, the next two events made Udoka's plan fall through. The first deal was that the Rockets offered Da Luo a very tempting condition, but in the end he did not agree.
Age aside, Bigelow is still in the forward position of No. 5. This season, Bigelow averaged 32 minutes per game and contributed 132 points, 55 steals, 16 assists, 27 turnovers, and 492% of the three-pointers, 348% of the threes. Bigelow can defend his rebounds and use the three-point line to do things on the court that Morioka can't.
Porter Jr. blew himself up twice, forcing the Rockets to abandon him. Porter Jr. averaged 19 points per game last season2 points, 53 steals, 57 assists, 14 steals, 442% of the three-pointers, 366% of the threes. Although Porter Jr. is not as physical as Green, his dribbling, three-point shooting and defense are excellent.
* Before the company arrived, Porter Jr. was bankrupt, Sengen and Green had no competition, and lacked a sense of crisis and urgency.
Houston is a big city, but it's a small market for the NBA. Some smaller teams have to pay a lot of money to retain top talent, so is Houston really going to pay a lot of money for Sengen or Green? Many fans disagree.
Judging from the current situation, neither Morioka nor Green are the main forces, nor do they have the value of signing the contract early and at a large price.
The tactical system of the rocket was broken by the opponent. Raptors forward Poeltl said they had been waiting for the Rockets because they knew Udoka wanted to play in the restricted area, and this time they focused on grabbing the board. Patel has been mediocre this season, cutting down 16 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, and 6 blocks, completely suppressing Morioka, and it is not so easy for Green to get past him easily.
The Rockets are already two rounds behind because of their offense and poor defense, they will be disqualified from the playoffs this season, and they will be traded if they are to make the playoffs next season.
Some fans have proposed trading Morioka and Green to the Bucks in exchange for Claxton and Bridges.
The team's correspondents, Eric Slater and Brian Luwe, once again pointed out that they made the same request again when the Bucks were going to trade the remaining draft picks and some other rights to Mikal Bridges. While the Rockets were aggressive, the Bucks showed no interest and didn't sabotage their rebuilding plans.
Houston reporter Figan said last season that the Rockets' managers will be primarily responsible for developing and scouting young talent this season, and that they are likely to make a big transfer this summer.
