The Rockets defeated the Suns 118-109 to end a three-game losing streak, and so far this season, the Rockets and the Suns have played each other four times, and the Rockets have played well with 2 wins and 2 losses. Among them, Jalen Green's play to the Suns is far beyond the performance of the season, Jalen Green scored 23 points, 5 boards and 3 assists in the first game The Rockets lost, and in the second game 14 points, 3 boards and 4 assists The Rockets won, and recently played two consecutive games with one win and one loss, Green scored 34 points, 5 boards and 3 steals and today's 34 points, 9 boards and 4 assists.
Jalen Green's overall statistics and shooting percentage against the Suns met the Rockets' expectations for their new season. It's a pity that not every game Green can play like this. Jalen Green's stats have dropped dramatically this season, as has his shooting percentage, and inconsistency has become his biggest problem. When Jalen Green can score consistently and then know how to use his physicality to finish smarter, maybe that's when he can really cash in on his talent.
The first step in the start of the historical level, Jordan's general ability to stay in the air, this is why the outside world is on the Green template, if Green can't open his mind in his life, then that's it. There is nothing to say about the Suns losing in this game, the whole team has no spirit from the beginning, and it is not like playing at home at all. On the contrary, Jalen Green and Van Jordan were hot, and the two bombarded the Rockets to lead by 19 points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Suns remembered to gain momentum, and just like in the previous game, they were only 6 points away at one point. But it was Jalen Green who stabilized the situation with his hot hand, and the Rockets led by 10 points at halftime. In the third quarter, the two sides were tied against Soar, and the Rockets still had the advantage. In the final quarter, the Suns relied on Durant's supernatural performance and once chased down to only 4 points. But the Rockets can always respond, and Jalen Green, Van Jordan and Dillon all stepped up. At the critical moment, Jalen Green also faced Booker's layup to end the suspense, Booker left the court with a sprained injury in the next round, and Vogel announced his surrender in the last minute.
It doesn't matter if the Rockets win or lose the whole game, this season's play-offs are no play, let the rookies continue to develop. Jalen Green didn't say much, Van Jordan scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists, Shen Jing 21 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Smith Jr. 14 points, Dillon 11 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and Amen Thompson 9 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals. For the Suns, Beal was ejected with just seven points, and Booker had a poor performance with 24 points on 7-of-17 shooting.
Only Durant became a fig leaf and scored 30 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, and now Durant is under the curse of the Nets again, which is the impact of his teammates' injuries, and he is left with himself after playing around. Booker doesn't know when he will be back from this injury, and Beal has played 31 games this season and is also a crispy chicken. Coupled with the fact that Beal's own style of play is incompatible with Durant Booker, the Suns will miss Paul a little at this moment. Bill will get an annual salary of 50 million in the next few years, and Paul is cheaper and more suitable than him.
Of course, it's because the Suns didn't get Harden. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a situation, if you look at Harden's attendance this season, Pepper can rest as much as he wants, and he can keep the basics. Harden is cheaper and his body is more slot-resistant. Look at Harden without Philadelphia, no one will save the game as soon as Embiid is injured. The same is true for the Suns, if there is Harden, not only Harden is more compatible with Durant than Durant, but also has an advantage in terms of record holdings. In terms of annual salary, Harden did not even ask Philadelphia for an annual salary of 40 million, but an annual salary of more than 30 million, but he needed a 3-4 year long contract, and Philadelphia was only willing to give it for two years. In terms of cost performance, Harden is much more suitable than Beal.
