Rockets beat Hornets 138-104, player rating: 2 all-around, 3 well-performing, 4 qualified!
Houston defeated the Hornets 138-104. It was an easy win for them because they only started to exert their strength in the second half of the game, with small climaxes again and again, and then easily defeated each other to get the final victory.
Both received perfect marks. Green, in particular, scored a career-high 36 points on 12-of-20 shooting in 28 minutes. All along, Green didn't have his own whistle, but since he had his own whistle, his confidence has improved a lot, and Green's attacking ability has also been greatly improved. He can't do it with a three-point shot, but if he can do that, he's a master.
Whitmore's performance is also getting better day by day. With 24 points and 11 rebounds, he didn't do well on the court. If he has the ball well, he can still control the game. But his possession ability is not fully utilised, and as long as he can get more balls, then he will be worth more and more.
Van Vleet, Shin Kyung, Amen all played well. VanVleet and Shen Jing occupied most of the possession time, and with Shen Jing's support, VanVleet also shot a lot less, and the changes of these two made the Rockets' offense smoother and more furious. Amen is also a surprising man, he has great insight, he is very good at scoring goals, he is very defensive, he is very good on the pitch.
Dillon, Jeff Green, Holiday and others all passed the exam. Dillon didn't play well, scoring 12 points on three-pointers, and he did well defensively. Holiday was 4-of-6, 6-6, 6-of-6, the only thing that was a headache was his defense, and he wasn't fast enough to get the ball. Landale seems to have gradually shown his value in the recent period, he feels that he has a certain ability to assist in defense, 6+6+2 attributes, no one knows if he can continue like this.
Bullock, Boban, Tate, Hinton, Samuels, these are all marginal rotations, and they will not be repeated here.
