On January 21, Beijing time, the rocket played against the Sun. There was no suspense. The Sun was leading all the way. The Rockets hoped to come back at the last moment, but the Sun withstood the Rockets' counterattack. In the end, the Sun won and gave the Rockets three consecutive games. defeat. After this game, the Suns ranked fourth in the West with 8 wins and 5 losses, while the Rockets ranked second last in the West with 4 wins and 9 losses. In this game, Paul faced his old team, but today’s old team is no longer the second seed in the Western Conference. Harden left the team and everything is different. The only teammates left were Tucker, and Gordon. , Time flies, sigh!
Talk about the game tonight. The Rockets still want to win. Gordon, the best sixth man in the past, made 9 of 20 shots and 3 of 7 three-pointers tonight. He scored 22 points. His three-pointers, his breakthrough ability, he He is still very familiar with his organization of offense, but he is not easy to play without other teammates. The little giant Wood still scored 20+10 tonight, making 8 of 18 shots and scoring 20 points and 11 rebounds. The offense was pretty good, but the defensive end was blown.
The Suns has large center Ayton, the former NBA draft pick. Ayton faced Wood, who is strong offensive and weak tonight, and has eaten the hearts of his opponents. In the game, Ayton made 11 of 15 shots, scored 26 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks . The energy of the beast was completely released! The No. 1 pick Ayton finally broke out. Playing next to a super point guard like Paul, Ayton still has a lot to learn. In terms of averaging data this season, Ayton declined instead of rising. The average scoring dropped from 18.2 points last season to 12.9 points. Ayton can eat dumplings to beat Wood tonight. It’s good to find confidence.
Let’s talk about the rocket’s new aid Oladipo . He really wants to prove himself, prove that he can still play, prove that he can lead the team to win,But things are counterproductive, and many things are quick but not achieved. Tonight's game, Oladipo made 22 shots, but only hit 7 goals, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 22 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. 22 shots for 22 points, frequent strikes, the efficiency is too low. Oladipo's qualifications and abilities, 22 shots are no problem, but 22 shots can only score 22 points, which is not what he wants to see.
I can’t go back. We must admit that after Oladipo suffered two serious injuries, his condition declined very seriously. In the Thunder period and Pacers period, Oladipo was also a basketball player above the rim. He was a super dunk. During the Pacers period, he could play a tie-breaker with the Cavaliers with James in the first round. , The original strength was really strong. Once selected for the NBA best three teams, twice selected for the All-Star, during the Pacers period, the Audi before the injury, fully worthy of the maximum salary, but the injury struck, after a long recovery, recovery, comeback, and now Audi , It’s never the same boy again.
22 shots 22 points! The Rockets frequently hit the iron with new aid, and the champion slashed 26+17, and Wood 20+11 was difficult to save. Can not go back! The Rockets have 22 shots and 22 points. The previous three teams + All-Star are now a burden. In the two games after coming to the Rockets, Oladipo was obviously working hard, but it is undeniable that he is not in the Rockets' long-term plan. The Rockets want to send him away and train young players, so the Rockets' asking price for Oladipo's deal is also very low, as long as three second rounds. But even so, there is no strong team action, so Audi and Rockets have to continue to live like this.
