Beijing time on February 12, 2021, the Rockets lost to the Heat 94-101 today.
After losing this game, the Rockets have lost four straight. On the contrary, the Heat have won four straight after this game. Now they are ranked ninth in the East, and the Rockets fell to 13th in the West. Bit. It can be seen that Wood’s absence has too much impact on the team. The team’s internal line is missing the absolute core and the main scoring points. Although Cousins has a brilliant performance on the offensive end today, Cousins is on the defensive end. His steps are slow, and he obviously doesn't dare to exert too much force after being seriously injured. Of course, many fans will say that with such a small amount of money, how much work do you want Cousins to do and how much pressure? Of course, we won't throw all the losses on Cousins. There is only one point. This year may be his best chance. If he can't produce results, it is not certain whether he can survive in the NBA next year?
The Heat are getting more and more courageous after Butler's comeback. They are laughing at them as the most disappointing team of the season. Is that because their staff has been uneven? Butler threatened reporters when he came back: the team's losing streak has begun, and then it's time to start a wave of winning streaks. And he honored his words and promises on the court. Butler is a very competitive person. Of course, he does not allow other teams in the league to underestimate the Heat, let alone degenerate and become a media reporter. laughing stock.
In this game, Butler scored a triple-double of 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Heat. With him on the court, the Heat's offensive is well-informed, and the defensive end is also doing everything possible to spare. Look at Wall's mistakes in this game, then look at Oladipo's score in this game, and look at their total score in this game, and you will understand how much effort the Heat have put into defensive end in this game!
However, there is another very interesting phenomenon in the game. I don’t know if you have noticed it. The Heat hit three-pointers frequently throughout the first half, while the Rockets frequently hit three-pointers throughout the second half. We all know the NBA half. After the game, the two teams exchanged offensive matchups. Some reporters compiled a set of statistics that were difficult to understand with conventional thinking. In the first half, the Heat were 4 of 22 outside the three-point line.This included 17 consecutive three-pointers missed in a 20-point period, and their three-pointers were 1 of 18 in the last 21 minutes. In the second half, when the Rockets also used this basket to score, they made three three-pointers in the third quarter. The score was 0 for 10, and the fourth quarter came up to 8 for 1, one 18 for 1 and then 18 for 1. After the pit, the Heat also pitted the Rockets. Let alone, this basket is a bit wrong!
But is this the reason and excuse for the Rockets' loss?
