The Rockets are back, Stone signed a 16 million contract, and Houston is looking forward to the playoffs!
The Rockets comfortably defeated the Lakers at home, and the course and outcome of this regular season game was unexpected. There is nothing strange about the Rockets' victory, it's just that they won too easily, facing James and the Lakers' thick eyebrows, the Rockets defeated them directly, did not give the Lakers any respite, and did not let the Lakers turn the tables, which more or less, will surprise people. Because the records of the two teams are very close, and even the Lakers are still in the lead. Obviously, among them, the Rockets played with spirit, completely overriding the Lakers and crushing the Lakers. "16 million in 2 years, returning to the Rockets, one of the values of Houghat's strong reinforcements, plays a vital role on and off the court.
The Rockets crushed the Lakers, from the data level, Jalen Green started to skyrocket, Shen Jing performed well enough in the face of thick eyebrows, Whitmore showed absolute talent, and the whole Rockets team did a very good job in rebounding and other details, which was a team victory. However, in the process, you will find that in fact, the Rockets won in the last two minutes of the first quarter, and before that, even if Jalen Green scored 13 points in a single quarter, the Lakers could still maintain the point difference, but since entering the rotation, the Lakers' offense and defense began to collapse. The Rockets launched a series of counterattacks, and Whitmore scored 13 points in three minutes to help the Rockets gain the upper hand in one fell swoop, and the Lakers won in a hurry.
Looking at it this way, isn't Whitmore's sudden outburst the key to the Rockets' victory? In fact, Whitmore's ability to show talent is inseparable from the contributions of his teammates on the defensive end, and this point, the role of veteran Jeff Green, is obviously underestimated. After entering the rotation in the first quarter, Jeff Green and Whitmore and others came on the court together, and the Lakers replaced players such as Wood and Hachimura. At this time, Wood, just like the Rockets back then, wanted to prove himself on the one hand, and on the other hand, whenever he picked up the ball and looked up to see Jeff Green in front of him, it was like a tiger looking at its prey"Kill the red eye"。Several times, after receiving the ball, Wood began to dribble from outside the three-point line, which is what the Lakers don't want to see, and it is also their most ineffective offensive means.
As a result, Jeff Green continued to defend Wood's forced singles, and this offensive method of playing four defenders by one person will cause Whitmore to return to defense in a timely manner, Whitmore will accelerate, and the Rockets will repeatedly counterattack easily. Of course, Wood also underestimated Jeff Green's ability, Green came on the court to play against him, Wood was 6-of-1 and had 2 turnovers, which was a disaster. In fact, not only Wood, but also a lot of bench forwards on the team this season, when they see that their opponent is Jeff Green, they will have their eyes lit up, after all, Jeff Green is 37 years old, he is a brainless veteran, and his physical function has dropped dramatically from his peak.
Most of these lads, however, have suffered at the hands of Jeff Green. Not only can Jeff Green play a young leader role off the court, but his fighting power on the court has also been an eye-opener for the Rockets. This season, Jeff Green has surprised critics on several occasions, playing efficiently and exceeding the Rockets' expectations in his game. Looking back, now that the season is halfway over, when will we talk about these reinforcements of the Rockets in the offseason, Longdell has become an out-and-out **, garbage contract, fans are glad that he has a contract for the next 3 years, and the amount is not guaranteed. And Van Vliet, once again, does not deserve the top salary, his performance can only be regarded as decent, a bit of a premium. Other than that, Dillon Brooks and Jeff Green are two of the most satisfying signings.
For two years and $16 million, General brought him back to Houston on a contract that Jeff Green couldn't refuse. At first, the Rockets' ** was 6 million for 1 year, but it was not enough to convince Green to stay with the Nuggets, because the defending champions had already offered Green a contract with a veteran base salary waiting for him to sign. Subsequently, the Immortal Bird Rockets will ** increase, 2 years 16 million so that Green can't refuse, even if his contract comes with a team option for the second year, the amount is not guaranteed, but at least 8 million for one year, such ** is as strong as the base salary.
When it came time to sign Green, fans didn't understand Stone's idea, because in most people's opinion, Green was not going to get a chance to play in the new season and sign one"Can't play"Spending so much on salary, Stone was questioned. However, from Shen Jing's evolution and the growth of Jabbar Smith Jr., it can be seen that Green's contract is definitely worth the money, he told Shen Jing many details of Jokic's habits, and when Smith Jr. made a mistake, he used actions to tell him how to play at critical moments, how to cooperate with guards, and how to run. With this leadership alone, the Rockets will not lose, Green can continue to play efficiently on the court, and the Rockets' signing can also win a lot.
