In the first round of the NBA playoffs this year, the Rockets finally lost with a total score of 3-4 and missed the second round. After the game, coach Ma Jianjian conducted an in-depth analysis of this round of series, and his evaluation was pertinent and to the point, mainly covering the following three key aspects. As a veteran team with rich championship experience, the Warriors showed an extremely experienced game temperament throughout the series. Whether it is the players' control of the rhythm of the game on the court or the way they deal with various complex situations, they all demonstrate their profound background. Coach Cole's arrangement at the technical and tactical level is even more flexible and changeable. He can make timely adjustments based on the on-field situation. Whether it is the initiation of offensive tactics or the transformation of defensive strategies, it is elusive for the Rockets to figure out. Just like in the last quarter of the key game, Kerr cleverly changed the team's support system to successfully curb the Rockets' counterattack. "Never underestimate the heart of a championship." The Warriors laughed to the end with this extreme desire for victory and rich experience.
And on the Rockets, Jaylen Green's performance is undoubtedly disappointing. As the young core of the team's high expectations, he should have shined in the playoffs, fulfilled his talents, and became the key force for the team to move forward. But the reality is that his performance in this round of the series is extremely unstable. Except for the second game, he scored 38 points, his performance in the rest of the games was unsatisfactory, with a shooting percentage of less than 40% in many consecutive games, and his average score was significantly lower than the regular season. At the critical moments of the game, he often seemed hesitant and dared not take decisive action. He also lacked sufficient confidence and ability to compete when breaking through. If Green can play steadily in the playoffs, averaging 20 points per game, the Rockets will have more choices on the offensive end, and the balance of promotion may be biased towards the Rockets. But now, his sluggish performance has greatly affected the team's offensive system and has also raised doubts about whether he can become the Rockets' future core.
However, the Rockets are not without highlights. Shin Kyung's performance in this round of the series was remarkable. Facing the close control of the best defensive player candidate Green, he was not afraid and showed a tough game style. Throughout the series, Shin Kyung averaged 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, becoming an important pillar of the team's offensive end. He has done a great job in the inside field's strong offense, support and rebounding protection, and has stood up many times when the team is in trouble. Although his shooting percentage is affected by defensive pressure, it is already commendable that he can still perform like this under such high intensity confrontation. His existence allows people to see the future of the Rockets' inside line.
This round of the Rockets and the Warriors is not only a competition of strength between the two teams, but also a comprehensive competition of experience, tactics and players' on-the-spot performance. The Warriors laughed to the end with their own advantages, while the Rockets gained valuable experience and profound lessons from the losses. In the future, they need to make more efforts in player growth and perfect tactical system.
