The name analysis of the Rockets' two defeats was due to the fact that the core of the interior line was pinched, and the former Tanhua was in no state
Houston's game against New Orleans, they have already made a lot of progress before the game starts, and the absence of the Pelicans' two main players, Zayn Williamson and Herbert Jones, will undoubtedly affect the overall strength of the team. It's a pity that they didn't take this opportunity, and in the second half, they began to break down, attacking again and again, making them lose hope of victory.
Renowned journalist Jackson Gatlin gave a detailed analysis of the Rockets' two losses, including the lack of three-point shooting and the huge gap in rebounding. There may still be some old issues, especially as Jeff Green gets older and Jock Landale plays poorly, and the Rockets are in desperate need of a reliable big man replacement.
Although they were on their own turf, their performance on the court was completely pressed by the Pelicans, especially in rebounding, they lost to the Pelicans by 27 points. Alperen Shenjing, the core player of the Rockets, had 10 rebounds and 5 assists on 4-of-11 shooting in the game, and his performance was not ideal. On the contrary, Valanciunas, the Pelicans' center, scored 25 points and 14 rebounds in the game, which put the Rockets into a collapse in the fourth quarter. This battle completely exposed the Alperen Shin Kyung defense, and the Pelicans' attack range was so wide that Alperen Shin Kyung failed to cause problems in his attack range.
And outside the three-point line, they didn't play well either, with the former Tanhua completely losing his ability in this game. It was probably Jabari Smith's worst game of the season, with no points on six shots, a rebound, a block and a block, compared to Jabari Smith's 22 minutes of playing time. Jabari Smith and anyone else can't afford to be blamed too much in this fight, and they have to be confident that he will adapt to this time.
And, with the exception of Jabari Smith, the rest of the Rockets had average shots, and the rebounds at the Toyota Arena were all about to blow up. The Rockets made 44 shots, 44 shots, and 13 shots, which seemed to hit a lot of things, but that was all accumulated by the number of times, 295% three-pointers, that's too low. Backup guard Aaron Holiday in particular has been criticized by a lot since he was replaced, and Aaron Holiday has focused on rebounding rather than passing. Aaron Holiday missed all four shots, but he got a rebound and an assist.
