On February 18, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. The Rockets lost 113-118 to No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, but Rockets guard Wall's personal performance was still good. In 36 minutes, he scored 28 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks on 11 of 24 shots. Although his turnovers reached 7 times, Wall's contribution was still very large on the offensive end. After the whole game, he was also the only Rockets player to score 20+ points.
For the Rockets that lost 7 straight, Wall is almost one of their few comforts. In these 7 games, Wall averaged a team-high 25.3 points and 7 assists. Compared with Wall's 20.4 points and 6.3 assists per game this season, Wall has improved significantly in the last 7 games. When Wood has missed 7 consecutive games due to injury, Wall has also become the Rockets' sharpest weapon on the offensive end.
Wall definitely had this ability in the past, but after a series of serious injuries, he is now not as good as before. However, in the Rockets who traded Harden and started to rebuild, Wall's performance was still the best on the team. Whether it is the veteran Gordon or the newcomer Oladipo, their performance is not as good as Wall.
Moreover, in terms of character, Wall is also more suitable to lead the current Rockets. From entering the league to the present, Wall has always been a player who dared to express and is willing to express his views. He is also tough enough on the court, even if he can't beat his opponents, he has never been afraid of being timid. Compared with Gordon, who is slightly more restrained, Oladipo, who has just arrived and showed ups and downs, compared with Cousins, who is in a plummeting form, and Wood, who is not qualified enough, Wall is obviously the most suitable for the Rockets to be the boss at the moment. people.
It is worth mentioning that, despite the fact that Wall's ability is not as good as in the past, his singles ability is still very strong. At present, Wall can average 5.2 points per game in singles, second only to Harden, who switched to the Nets, and beat Lillard, Owen, Antetokounmpo, Doncic, Durant and James and other superstars. Moreover, Wall's singles hit rate reached 52%, and the efficiency of singles is very high, which can also make him more convinced by his teammates.
After suffering a 7-game losing streak, the Rockets' ranking has slipped to 13th in the Western Conference, but Wall's recovery will be one of the few consolations for this team.
