On March 6th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and today the Southwest Division ushered in a derby battle, and the Rockets ushered in the challenge of the Spurs at home, although the current Southwest Derby is not like the Yao McDoncan period of the year, but the two teams are many fans after all, and their young players have also shown good talent, this game is also attracting much attention, let's talk about the game process first, and then talk about the players' play.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Wenban scored 5 points in a row to help the Spurs take the lead, Van Jordan responded with three points, Tre Jones and Sochan scored 5 points, Shen Jing and Van Jordan responded with 5 points, and then the two sides fell into a stalemate, and at the end of the quarter, Van Jordan and Jalen Green hit three points one after another to help the Rockets lead by 5 points to end the first quarter. In the second quarter, Wemban and Keldon Johnson quickly caught up with the point difference, and the Rockets' offense came to a standstill in this quarter, relying only on Shen Jing alone, and the Spurs relied on more points to blossom, and they ended the first half by 6 points.
Yibian replayed Shen Jing's firepower, he continued to kill to help the team catch up with the point difference, and Wembanyama also continued to eat fouls in the matchup, which also allowed the Rockets to seize the opportunity, they overtook 3 points in the third quarter, and Shen Jing scored 18 points in a single quarter. Wembanyama finally returned in the final quarter, but the Rockets remained strong, and Whitmore helped the team extend the lead to double digits with back-to-back inside kills, and he scored 12 points in a single quarter to help the Rockets finally crush the Spurs 111-99.
Although Wembanyama capped Shen Jing 5 in this game, he was blown up by Shen Jing, 4 of 10 shots in this game, 2 of 5 three-pointers got 10 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 7 blocks, what has always been confusing is that in the first half, Wenban's influence on the offensive end is very obvious, although the third quarter was affected by fouls, but after the fourth quarter was on the court, there was no ball, and there were all kinds of turnaround runs on the court, which is like the status of a team boss? It's time for Popovich to deal with that.
Although he was blown up by Shen Jing, but Wenban's performance still has bright spots, he has 6 blocks in the past 7 games more than 5 times, according to the current play, his block king is likely to be no suspense, I don't know if it will shake Olajuwon's record of the all-time block king in the future, he is a rookie after all, and it is understandable that he does not play well once in a while, and today he played a talent in the face of Shen Jing, but lost in the body.
As long as Vassell holds the ball, he doesn't care about the position of his teammates, he just does it with the ball, and he feels that he is the first core of the Spurs, 9 of 19 shots in this game, 1 of 5 three-pointers got 22 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, Keldon played a good game off the bench, scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists on 5 of 12 shots, and Branham got 20 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.
Sochan can be said to have lost this game, he was too dirty, he scored 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in this game, but in the game, Sochan deliberately tripped Amen Thompson, so it also led to a conflict between the two.
Shen Jing faced Wembanyama in this game can be said to have played the masterpiece of his career so far, 19 of 32 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 45 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 steals and 1 block.
Jalen Green still maintained his aggressiveness on the offensive end in the past few games, although the three-point range was not as good as in the past few games, but his breakthrough killing was not bad in this game, 11 of 23 shots, 1 of 10 three-pointers got 23 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, Van Jordan played a good role as a playmaker, 8 of 15 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers got 21 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals.
Whitmore played very well off the bench in this game, although the young man did it himself with the ball, but without him this game the Rockets are really not easy to win, this game is really not easy to win, this game is 9 of 16 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers got 19 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, he only played 18 minutes to get such data, Amen Thompson is still struggling, 4 shots 0 of the game got 2 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, if you want to get more opportunities, he needs to improve his projection.
Although Dillon scored 0 points in this game, he defended Wenban well in several rounds in this game, and the plus/minus of +20 shows that he has helped the team, although they have ushered in 2 consecutive wins, but they are now 5 miles away from the tenth WarriorsWith a difference of 5 wins, he basically missed the playoffs this season. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Rockets and Spurs? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
