In a previous NBA regular season game, the New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Houston Rockets at home 110-99. After this game, the Pelicans' record improved to 27-21 and continued to rank 7th in the West; The Rockets, on the other hand, slipped to 22-25 and remained in 11th place in the West.
In this game, the Rockets' starting backcourt big man Jalen Green (Jalen Green) still has a good performance. He played a total of 38 minutes and 14 seconds, shooting 11-of-20 from the field, 5-of-12 from beyond the three-point line, and 4-of-4 from the free throw line, scoring a game-high 31 points, plus 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Green continued his incredible recent performance on the offensive end, showing amazing scoring power, not only excellent breakaways, but also a decent outside shooting consistency. On top of that, Green is also quite good on the defensive end, his defensive efficiency is quite good, he is becoming a very reliable backcourt defender, and his defensive ability seems to be a lot higher than everyone thinks. If it weren't for Green's excellent performance on both ends of the floor, the Rockets could have suffered a huge defeat in this game.
So far this season, Green has played a total of 47 games for the team in the NBA regular season, averaging 30 minutes per game9 minutes, with an average of 18 per game4 points 49 rebounds and 33 assists 07 steals 03 blocks and 41 percent from the field4% and 32 percent from three-point range5% and 81 free throw percentage6%。Green's start to the season has been a shap-down, not only not showing any improvement, but even showing a certain dip in offensive efficiency, which is really shocking. Green hasn't made any substantial improvements in other areas either, and he's still very spicy in terms of passing ability and defensive ability. Green's stagnation in development is also a concern, with more and more Rockets fans starting to label him as a parallel import.
Unexpectedly, in the recent period, Green has had an incredible explosion, he has scored more than 29 points in 4 of the last 5 games, played 30+ data in 3 games, and contributed a double-double in two games. Green's performance in these games is really unfamiliar, his offensive efficiency has improved dramatically, his self-confidence on the court is also obvious, and his role on the defensive end has also improved a lot compared to before. It's just that we don't know how long Green's form will last, and if he can continue to maintain this form, he will not only get rid of the title of parallel import, but also really become the top No. 2 star that everyone expects.
