On the morning of February 15, Beijing time, the Rockets lost to the Grizzlies 113-121 away. In this game, the Rockets' performance was outrageous, facing the Grizzlies who entered the rebuild, they actually trailed by as many as 23 points, if it weren't for the third quarter Amen Thompson and Aaron Holiday and other benches to chase the points, the game would have been spent a long time ago. Among the main players, the performance of Jalen Green and Shin Jing is a disaster, and they can really be packaged and traded.
Shen Jing and Green are both players that the Rockets focus on cultivating, but both of them are strong in offense and weak in defense, and they play well offensively, which can make up for the shortcomings of the two on the defensive end. However, now that the offense of the two is completely uncertain, it is natural that their existence is to create a defensive black hole for the Rockets. In this game, Green only had 4 points and 3 rebounds, shooting only 2-of-7 from the field and 0-of-4 from three-point range. Shin Jing had 19 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, shooting 8-of-16 from the field, but only 2-of-7 from the free-throw line. As a center, the rebounds are not more than half that of a guard in Amen. These two are really the big sinners of the Rockets' loss!
In fact, the Rockets can really package Shen Jing and Jalen Green, plus the Nets signing, in exchange for a real All-Star guard, such as Murray or Fox, so that the Rockets' roster can be completely strengthened. Because next season, Adams can be the starting center of the Rockets, the No. 1 position can be exchanged for All-Star guard, the substitute can be Amen, the No. 2 position can be Whitmore's start, the bench can be a rookie player, the No. 3 position can be Dillon and Ethan, and the No. 4 position is Jr. Jia and Jeff Green. With such a lineup, it is fully certain to impact the playoffs.
