The NBA regular season continues, and the Rockets' game against the Spurs has officially begun. Both teams played a good half in each of the games, and the first half belonged to the Spurs. At the end of the two quarters, the Spurs led by six points. However, in the second half, the Rockets played more and more smoothly, and the Spurs' offense came to a standstill. At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets overtook the score. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Rockets won 114-101 over the Spurs.
Objectively speaking, there are two reasons why Spurs lost this game. First: The Spurs did a very poor job of controlling the number of turnovers. The Spurs had 18 turnovers in the game, the Rockets had only five, and the Spurs had 13 more turnovers than the Rockets. Second: Wembanyama, the core player, is sluggish. Wembanyama played 29 minutes in the game, shooting 4-of-10, including 2-of-5 three-pointers, and scored 10 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 6 turnovers. Obviously, such statistics did not meet the expectations of Wembanyama, and such performances were unlikely to help the team win.
After talking about the Spurs who lost, let's talk about the Rockets who won. There is no doubt that the player that the Rockets can easily win against the Spurs should be thanked for is Shin Kyung. In this game, Shen Jing played 36 minutes, 19 of 32 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 45 points, 16 rebounds, 5 steals, 1 block, plus or minus +18. For Shen Jing's performance, he can completely use "45+16+5, a new record!" The First World War turned the champion into a toy, and if Wenban does not change, it will be difficult to become a supergiant". Let's start with the two records set by Shen Jing. 1: Previously, Shen Jing's career highest single-game score was 37 points, and Shen Jing set a new personal single-game scoring record in this game. 2: Previously, the highest number of steals in a single game in Shen Jing's career was 4, and Shen Jing contributed 5 steals in this game, setting a personal record for steals in a single game.
After talking about the record, let's talk about Shen Jing's performance in this game. I don't know, what do you think of Shen Jing in this game? My evaluation of Shen Jing's technique, Shen Jing knocked Wembanyama out of the toy. Fans who have watched the game will know that Shin Kyung is very confident in playing Wembanyama. The inside line Shen Jing only needs to use his body to easily beat Wembanyama, and near the middle distance, Wen Ban can shoot if he can't defend Shen Jing, and he can use his skills to defend Shen Jing. To put it bluntly, Wembanyama was beaten by Shen Jing and his mentality collapsed a little, and in the end, Wembanyama didn't know how to defend.
I believe that when you see fans here, you will definitely ask, what is going on with Wembanyama? Actually, the answer to this question is very simple, that is, Wembanyama's situation is very contradictory. To put it bluntly, if Wembanyama wants to gain a foothold on the inside, then Wembanyama will have to gain weight, but once he gains weight, he will sacrifice Wembanyama's flexibility and increase the risk of injury. On the contrary, if Wembanyama does not gain weight, it is really embarrassing to not change Wembanyama and become a real superstar.
