6 minutes and 0 points, Shepard gave the opportunity but missed the opportunity, Rockets scored 51 points in 2 games, and beat Green in a perfect value

The Rockets led by more than 30 points in the G5 battle. Uduka and Cole coincided with each other. At the same time, they chose to substitute Mingjin and retreated in the last quarter, but almost made a big comeback. The Rockets made mistakes and made blacksmiths, and lost 22 rebounds in a single quarter in the frontcourt. If the Warriors' substitute finishing ability is stronger, it is still unknown whether the Rockets can win. Uduka directly replaced the main force and saved a victory, but this situation consumed the players' physical strength on the one hand, and on the other hand, morale had an impact.

Uduka was previously criticized for having only 8 players to rotate, and this game only allowed Holiday Jr. to enter the regular rotation lineup, but in fact there was no big change. The last time of this game proves very well why Uduka doesn't need to be a substitute. Tanhua showed Shepard to play for 6 minutes and 0 points, plus or negative value -15, he could not play at this level of game at all, his physical confrontation was too poor, as the No. 1 position could not control the ball, and both sides were on the bench. As a high-ranking rookie, he only exposed his shortcomings and had no advantages.

Shepard gave the opportunity but his positioning is still unclear. Judging from the technical characteristics, he is a shooter-type shooting guard, but his height and confrontation can only allow him to play point guard, and he lacks the technical ability of the No. 1 position, so he is gradually becoming a parallel player. If the Rockets continue to play like this, the Rockets wasted a draft pick. After being chased to the 10+ point difference, Uduka chose to replace him. This game basically lost his hope of entering the rotation of the playoffs this season. Another player, Whitmore, is also not optimistic.

In the playoff level, you have to seize the opportunity to play. After leading the big score, Whitmore did not play, but played less than two minutes at the last moment of the game. The two were highly expected to become surprises in the playoffs, but neither had the experience or the ability to fight. The Rockets' true core of the last two games is Van Vleet, which reflects the maximum salary and the ability of the champion defender. They are the most trusted player on the outside and are worth a complete victory over Green. In the first three games, VanVleet's shooting percentage was only 26.8%, and he was the first person in charge of the team's loss. His feel has recovered in the last two games, scoring 25 and 26 points, and a total of 51 points and 12 three-pointers. Only when the Rockets made a three-pointer from the outside can the Warriors' defensive strategy be changed. They dare not set the Rockets' shot. Another player, Amen Thompson, made a profit and had enough room to hit the inside. They scored a comprehensive data of 25 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals in this game. Van Vleet's explosion came very timely. After winning this game, the Rockets still cannot relax. The G6 game needs to ensure stability in three-pointers. The main players in the last quarter of this game consume a lot of physical energy. As expected, the Rockets will use 8-9 players regularly this year. Shepard's training value is gradually declining. As the second team in the West, there is no time to train him. You can consider putting it on the shelves as a trading chip in the offseason. What the Rockets need is immediate combat power, and Shepard needs a lot of ball rights and fault tolerance space. Shen Jing was a good triple-double in this game, and Jaylen Green was still in a sluggish state and only scored 11 points.
