"Udoka brews three sets of starters! Green handpicks Ethan, and the Rockets drop a young version of Beverley! "！
Since the Rockets didn't play in All-Star Weekend and Udoka didn't rest, he needs to watch some ** to evaluate the performance of his players. Udoka said he had been thinking about a starter ever since, but in the end he opted to stick with his old formation.
SpaceCityScoop, a specialized institution specializing in rocket research, believes that Udoka has three launch platforms ready.
First group: Van Jordan, Amen, Dillon, Smith Jr., and Morioka.
When Amen joined the Rockets' starting position, the Rockets' defense, rebounding protection, and became an excellent playmaker. But the downside is that their range of attacks has been reduced. Amen didn't make a move, and it was a goal for his enemies to let him go.
This season, he averaged 19 minutes per game and only made 02 3-pointers while he shot just 158%, such a disadvantage is obvious.
Group 2: Van Jordan, Whitmore, Dillon, Smith Jr., Morioka.
After Whitmore moved into the start, the Rockets' perimeter projection capabilities improved, but it became a problem defensively. Whitmore, on the other hand, is not good at passing, and he doesn't work well with some of the starters. Udoka had a shot at Whitmore, but it clearly didn't make a difference. Now, Whitmore is a little better off the bench.
Group 3: Van Jordan, Dillon, Ethan, Smith Jr., Morioka.
It would be more appropriate to put Ethan in the starting position and let Dylan play in the middle. Ethan surpasses him in terms of physical fitness and arm strength, and he has a lot more experience in the Circle. In terms of defense, Ethan is much stronger than Whitmore. Ethan's 36 percent success rate on 3-pointers this season is higher than Jalen Green's 31 percent.
But the problem is that Ethan's injury is more complicated, and he is still in the ** stage, and Udoka himself does not know when he will return. Now it seems that Ethan would love to play, but he still needs to get permission from the Rockets' doctors.
Many Rockets fans also expect Ethan to get back to health as soon as possible and not put too much pressure on himself.
A lot of the players in the league have a lot of trust in Ethan. Champion goalscorer Dream Green paid his respects to Ethan on a recent TV show.
Crawford asked, "Who do you think is as good in the NBA today as you are besides you?" ”
Chase Green replied quickly: Tari Essen.
Chase Green: "I love this boy. "As far as I know, he's good on dribbling and throwing, but he can do better. Ethan is a good player, he's not a crazy guy, but he's okay, tall, tall, strong, can grab rebounds, he doesn't show weakness, he's going to do the little things. And at this point, he was on the right side.
Ethan scored 21 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists in a game against the Warriors a year ago, and many Rockets fans thought he would be an All-Star power forward.
Udoka has said in public that Ethan reminded him of Leonard, but sadly, the guy has missed too many opportunities this season.
Neither Fertitta nor Stone were willing to let Jalen Green go at this time, and Udoka finally dismissed the idea of a substitution.
With Van Jordan and Whitmore back in action, there is no need for Ucevic to continue using Nate Hinton in addition to Ethan. Houston has already announced the news of trading Beverley to the Viper.
This 24-year-old is 1At 96m, the 24-year-old Hinton scored 10 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 15 minutes of play, and made three of his five shots, taking three of his own scoring streaks. Hinton played in 11 games for the Rockets this season, averaging five minutes per game, shooting 50 percent from the field and scoring 63 from three-point range6%,1.8 points 11 rebound. Some Rockets fans believe that a guard like Hinton deserves a full contract.
