After Harden left the team, although the spirit of rocket on the field has been refreshed, the team's record has not improved. In addition to the hard power restricting the team to achieve better results, frequent injuries Sickness makes it difficult for them to play with a complete lineup. Unstable rotation has become one of the important reasons for the Rockets' current 3-game losing streak.
And just now, the Rockets announced the latest list of injuries, the team suffered another blow, except Wall and House are still unable to play, Clemmons is reimbursed for the season, new aid Exam is still in In addition to recovering from injuries, another member has been added to the team's injury list, and he is the team's absolute main force and top scorer, Christian Wood!
In the previous game against the Suns, Wood sprained his ankle before the end of the first half and retired, but after a short treatment, he insisted on playing the second half with an injury. After the game, Wood still felt pain in his ankle, so the team did not allow him to play in the next game, and he needed to wait for his ankle to recover before he played.
Next, the Rockets will challenge the Span1span Pistons and the Mavericks back to back. The team has already set off to Detroit to prepare for the game, but Wood did not go with the team due to injury. According to Silas’s interview: “If Wood comes back on a road trip between the Pistons and the Mavericks, I’ll be very surprised. He doesn’t look very good. Cousins will be playing against the Pistons. Debut in China".
Wood’s absence is obviously a major blow to the current Rockets. With Wall and House unable to play, the Rockets’ main lineup is already in short supply. Now Wood is also in short supply. Injury missed, the team lost an offensive point that averaged 23.5 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, and the loss of strength was obvious. Especially Cousins is very bad this season,After Wood's injury, the Rockets left Cousins with only a high point in the inside, and the heavy responsibility of the inside was completely handed over to him, and the team seemed to face more severe challenges.
In the past three games, the Rockets have suffered a three-game losing streak. The original hope was that after Oladipo formed a tacit understanding with the team, the Rockets’ record would pick up, but now, Wo Er is still unable to make a comeback, and Wood is also injured. Next, facing the Pistons and the Mavericks, the Rockets' prospects are not optimistic. With many fewer main players and serious internal defects, the Rockets' next two back-to-back trips may be waiting for another wave of losses. If these two games fail to win the next, the Rockets will face a wave of 5 consecutive losses.
As far as the Rockets management is concerned, it is not clear whether the team should remain competitive or lose, but if the team is unable to welcome a complete set of main rotations, this new Rockets team may even try Does the team have any chance of playoffs competitiveness!
