Rockets coach Silas Due to family absent, Old Lucas became the "interim coach" of the Rockets. Unexpectedly, Old Lucas, who led the team as the head coach for the first time in 19 years, made fans shine. Whether it is the employer of the old Lucas or his on-site command in the game, it seems that they are better than Silas. No wonder some fans said that the Rockets' coach positions should be exchanged and the young Silas should be used as assistant coach, after all, he is most suitable for this job. Let Lucas become Houston's head coach so that he can continue to lead the Rockets to win.
Rockets fans seem to be more willing to see the Rockets like this now - tough defense and efficient offense. After defeating Bucks , the Rockets have won the 8th victory this season, with a current record of 8 wins and 18 losses. After 26 games, although the Rockets' winning rate is only 30.8%, the Rockets' winning rate has improved significantly compared to last season.
This is not the end. This game against the Bucks at home is also an important game that makes the Rockets "proud". Why do you say so? We still have to look at the data. According to statistics, before this game, the Rockets had lost 41 consecutive games with "scoring less than 100 points". The last time the Rockets won the game when the team scored less than 100 points in a single game, it can be traced back to March 26, 2019, which is more than three years ago. In that game, the Rockets narrowly defeated the Dallas Mavericks with one point 94-93.
In this game against the Bucks, the Rockets scored a total of 97 points, and the opponent Bucks scored 92 points. Super forward Antetokounmpo only scored 16 points in this game. Although there were 18 rebounds in the game, it seemed that it was a "big double-double", Antetokounmpo, who could not get high scores, could not help the Bucks win. The same thing is said, Tanhua Show Jabary Smith played the best defensive player on the defensive end. His top-notch performance on the defensive end cannot be reflected in the data. Fans who have watched this game will definitely be impressed by Smith's defense against Antetokounmpo.
However, a team that only knows how to defend cannot win. Smith scored only 6 points in this game, and his performance of 1 of 9 was indeed a bit worse on the offensive end, but Jaylen Green stood up. He scored 30 points in the game and also gave 7 rebounds and 3 assists. More importantly, in the last 5 minutes, Jaylen Green took over the Rockets' offensive banner, and he scored 10 points in a row, allowing the Rockets to maintain a slight advantage.
The Rockets' future "dual core" Green and Smith played the "representative work" of the two teams in this game. The two dominated both offense and defense, defeated the popular Bucks this season's championship match, and ended the Rockets' record of 41 consecutive losses with a score of less than 100, which finally made the team make it three years later, giving the Rockets a chance to start over.
