Exited at the tiebreak! Please don t blame Green, Uduka spoke up after the game and also talked about Amen

NBA playoffs continued, and the Rockets lost to the Warriors 89-103. The process of this game was ups and downs. The Rockets were only 4 points behind in the first quarter, and the score difference reached double digits in the second quarter. The Rockets had the upper hand in the third quarter, and once chased to only 3 points left. The Rockets launched counterattacks many times in the last quarter, but the Warriors always responded, and the Rockets lost in the end. In terms of data, Amen Thompson scored 24 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, Shin Kyung scored 21 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 turnovers, Van Vreet scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers, Dillon scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, Jaylen Green scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, Ethan scored 5 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, Adams scored 3 points and 7 rebounds, and Jabbarri scored 3 points and 4 rebounds.

After this game, the two sides scored 3-4, and the Rockets were eliminated in the tiebreak. If we look at it from another perspective, they did not enter the playoffs last season and directly won the playoffs as second in the Western Conference this season. This result can show that the Rockets have indeed made great progress. Basically, they can foresee that the Rockets' record will not be bad next season, but they don't know if the management will make big moves in the offseason. Of course, you have to find the reason for losing. Looking at the game, the Rockets mainly do four things. First of all, they are seriously inaccurate on the outside, with only 6 of 18 shots, while in comparison with the Warriors, they are 18 of 43 shots, which is quite a huge gap.

The Rockets led 52-3 in rebounding and 14-3 in frontcourt boards. The Rockets were the team with the strongest rebounding ability in the league in the regular season. As a result, they still couldn't beat the Warriors in the tiebreak because their shooting percentage was too low. The second reason for the loss was that Jaylen Green continued to be sluggish, and he couldn't watch 3 of 8 shots, especially in the first half, he only scored 2 points. Looking back on this round of the series, Green only performed well in G2. In 4 of the other 6 games, he scored single digits, and the other two games scored 11 points and 12 points respectively. As the Rockets' number one scorer and the most talented player, Green will definitely not be able to play like this, and his situation in the offseason is a bit dangerous.

As mentioned earlier, if the Rockets make big moves during the offseason, such as pursuing Durant or Antetokounmpo, then Green is likely to be a bargaining chip, or to put it another way, Shin Kyung and Green choose one, and the Rockets prefer the former. There is no way, it is both the first playoff journey. Shin Kyung at least plays well offensively, dares to fight, and dares to fight. On the other hand, once Green loses his touch in the front, he will not dare to make a shot in the back, and he does not have the style of being a star at all. This is a huge gap between the two. I believe the Rockets management has seen it. In addition, according to the NBA big data statistics, Green has as many as 15 games in the entire season.

is unstable and unpredictable. These are all synonyms for Green. If Green can reach Alexander's height, I believe the Warriors cannot be the Rockets' opponent. The third reason for losing is that in addition to Green, the Rockets also have some players performing poorly. For example, Dillon only scored 8 points, and Jabbarry Smith has no sense of existence. The final reason for the loss was also to blame. Green's downturn was related to his lack of strength, and also to Uduka's excessive trust in Van Vritte and Shin Kyung. In other words, the Rockets' tactics are a duo of Shin Kyung and Variet. Sometimes Green does not have the right to play, so there is no intention to defend Green. Even if Green is given enough shots, he may not be able to play. But Uduka should give others more tactics. For example, Jabbarri is really good, but he can only run back. After the game, Uduka was interviewed. When talking about Green's performance, he said: "To be honest, Green did not get a lot of mobile phones in the entire series. For him, it would be painful for him to not have the best performance in this series. Each of us could have played better tonight." This is easy to understand. Uduka believes that Green's performance in the series was not good and did not show the strength he deserved. Then Uduka continued to say: "This is basketball. I'm pretty sure he (Green) wants to save the team, but that's the game. Everyone may face a bad night and he will learn from his mistakes."

According to Uduka's point of view, although he thinks that Green's performance in the series is bad, he hopes that everyone will not blame Green, and believes that Green will learn from his experience and do better next season. It can be seen that Uduka is still willing to trust Green. As early as the regular season, Uduka said bluntly that he hoped that the Rockets' young people will stay in the team, but their ideas are beautiful, but the management may not do so. It is not ruled out that Green has finished his last game for the Rockets. Finally, Uduka also talked about Amen, and he said: "Amen is an incredible guy. He is very talented. He can do a lot of things and always make his opponent feel threatened." Uduka's evaluation is quite high. After all, as far as this round of series is concerned, Amen's performance can be described as perfect.
