In this game,RocketsPlayersGreenHe showed great attacking ability in the third quarter, but was replaced by the coach and barely possessed the ball in the final quarter. AlthoughGreenHe was outstanding in the game, shooting 7-of-16 and scoring 20 pointsThree-point shotHe was 4-of-8, but due to his low overall status, he didn't get more support for the ball and shots. If he is given more freedom to play, he could hopefully help the team catch up with the score.
RocketsTeam player Shin Kyung performed well in this game, shooting 8-of-17 and scoring 19 points. However, he was not aggressive enough on the defensive end, and was broken by opponents three times in a row, and his attitude seemed to return. In addition, the quality of his pick-and-rolls on the offensive end is very poor, and the frequent appearance of false pick-and-rolls puts a lot of pressure on the team's offense.
RocketsPlayer Smith lacked the ability to attack on his own throughout the game and could only rely on the passing of his teammates to score. This resulted in him being completely controlled by his opponent during the match. Smith's fitness also needs to be improved. His rebounding ability was a pleasant highlight, though, as he grabbed six frontcourt rebounds, but there are still other areas to be explored.
Van Vleet completely lost himself in today's game, shooting less than 30 per cent from the field, and it was a desperate performance. In addition, the purpose of his passing is also skewed, and it is difficult to lead the team alone, which is a pity. Amen also had a drawback, his technique was too rough, and he couldn't score inside and outside. And his attitude towards playing is not responsible enough, once he breaks through to the basket, he throws the ball out at will, and it has nothing to do with the ball. Although he has some advantages in terms of organization, there are still major drawbacks.
In this game,Rocketsteam metTimberwolvesThere was a lot of pressure and couldn't turn the tide throughout the game. The three starters had a good performance on the offensive end, but the team's overall status, the quality of the pick-and-roll, and the ability to attack on their own limited their performance. In addition, the erratic performances of players such as VanVleet and Amen have also had a negative impact on the team's overall record.
In future competitions,RocketsThe team needs to strengthen the physical and technical ability of the players, improve the quality of the pick-and-roll, and increase the ability to attack independently. In addition, the tacit cooperation between the players also needs to be strengthened to improve the overall combat effectiveness. That's all there is to itRocketsThe team will be able to achieve better results in future competitions.
