On March 7, Beijing time, the NBA regular season went on as usual, the Clippers brought the second most majestic appearance in the East, away to challenge the Rockets who were twelfth in the East, since the mid-season reversal of the Warriors, the Clippers' record has been 90,000 miles above the clouds, and even the Rockets named Arenas have sighed: "The Nuggets are the most stable team in the West, and the Clippers are the most dangerous ball!" "Unfortunately, Wei Shao will be out for a while recently due to a broken hand in the game due to the ball, and fortunately he should be able to return to the team before the playoffs; The situation on the Rockets' side is not optimistic, they are still five or six wins away from the play-off zone, and the last 20 games are too demanding at the right time and place to be too demanding, and they are expected to miss the playoffs.
From the early part of the season to the introduction of Gauduka rectification, the Rockets played all the way to the top three in the West, but for various reasons they fell back to the position of the previous team building period, which is really embarrassing, Jalen's Green's offensive selection and stability are always a problem, and his future for the Rockets has to put a question mark, but the team's starting center Shen Jing is sitting firmly in the core team, which is not for sale, and in the last game against the Spurs, he finished the explosion Wembanyama, and scored 45 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 steals and 1 hat, setting a new high in his career, Shen Jing has footwork, height, feel, and the strategy at the top of the arc, and the ability to hold the ball, which can be called a low-profile version of Jokic, and the future is limitless, whether he can cope with the defensive test of the Clippers, we will wait and see!

In the final quarter, Shen Jing continued to train Plumlee, and Dillon also passed Hyland in one step, I have to say that Coach Lu is still ruthless, Hyland's defense is not good and he is decisively replaced, Plumlee was penetrated by Shen Jing, and even triggered a linkage effect, and he can also put him on the court! But the results did not disappoint him! Harden relied on the cooperation with Plumlee in the middle, and successively named Jabari Smith to win, the Rockets' defense shrank, Deng Ge changed his strategy, and broke through George and Leonard one after another, hitting a three-point shot in 45 degrees and an empty corner at 45 degrees! He also caused a three-point foul at the top of the arc and scored all three free throws! Deng's last festival is crazy! A wave of offense helped the Clippers chase 99-101 to only 2 points!
The Rockets relied on Shen Jing's basket to attract and pinch shots, and obtained a large number of weak side vacancy, Whitmore scored 5 points in a row, and it is worth mentioning that Shen Jing scored in the face of Plumlee's hook hand, and achieved the fourth triple-double in his career!
