Internal strife escalated, Rockets two rookies have become public, Smith is dissatisfied with Green may trigger a trade
Rockets undoubtedly lost again. In the game against Clippers , the Rockets had a chance to win, but at the last moment, veteran Gordon performed poorly and made consecutive mistakes to ruin the game. The Rockets are not showing off their strength now, but they are indeed not strong. As a reconstruction team, they have enough talent on paper and have joined the top seven rookies in two years. In fact, these players, whether they are Jaylen Green or Smith, have fatal shortcomings and cannot take on the core.
Jaylen Green and Smith had an internal conflict in the previous game and had a conflict on the bench, although Jaylen Green said it was nothing after the game. However, the conflict between the two has become public. In the game against Clippers , Jaylen Green asked Smith to high-high after a free throw; but Smith directly ignored him, which is undoubtedly the contradiction has become public. As the second-tier show this year, Smith did not perform well. This time he did not hit the high five, which further showed his dissatisfaction with Green.
The attitude of the two players in the game has made the conflict between the two players have no secret. In the previous game, after Smith made a three-pointer shot, Jaylen Green spread his hands directly. Before the Rockets could rebuild, they started internal strife. In the game that lost to the Clippers, Jaylen Green made 4 of 17 shots and scored 13 points. After 8 games, Jaylen Green averaged 19 points per game, and his shooting percentage dropped to 36%. In the last three games, he played very negatively and took a more casual move on the field.
In the second half of last season, Jaylen Green showed his talent, while the Rockets focused on cultivating him and gave him the No. 4 jersey he had always dreamed of. This is enough to show the importance he attaches to, but he has declined sharply this year. Smith, who only played 8 NBA games, had a conflict with Green, the Rockets' core, and was considered to be a competition for the core position. Smith averaged 11+6 per game this year, with a shooting percentage of only 36%. As a player at the No. 4 position, his performance was really bleak.
Rockets gave Smith the right to take action, but Smith had a single offensive method, only able to catch and shoot, could not dribble, and hit the opponent's guards with his back, and was not effective. At the same time, when the game is not smooth, it will also have negative games. The Rockets chose Smith as the second place this year to miss it. He has no potential, and some basic skills are very rough. Shooting can only be an open opportunity. Obviously, his ceiling is not very high. Although the Rockets are going to play badly, this will not train young players. The Rockets may trigger new deals.
Head coach Selas caused controversy. The Rockets did not give young players a chance at the last moment. Shin Kyung, who performed well, scored 14 points and 9 rebounds, but was abandoned at the critical moment. Silas has almost no tactics and will not train young players. Jaylen Green is getting worse and worse. As a rookie, Smith dares to challenge Jaylen Green publicly. This is the biggest problem for the Rockets. The whole team is not very united, has no tactics at all, and they fight for their own. In the next game, the Rockets will still have to face the Clippers, and this time it is also a test for Jaylen Green.
