Rockets defeated Grizzlies 124-109. Player evaluation: 5 players were excellent, 3 players were passing

NBA regular season, the Rockets defeated the Grizzlies 124-109. The Rockets played relatively easily in this game. After taking a big lead in the first quarter, they maintained their advantage in the last three quarters and finally won the game.

The five players in the audience showed an outstanding performance. Amen is still a stable output in this game, both offensive and defensive, and scored 28+10+7+2 steals. The surprise now is that Amen can organize, holds the ball better, can score three-pointers, and can remain efficient when given the main offensive position. Smith's output on the offensive end is also very stable now, scoring 16 points on 6-of-8. Maintaining efficiency is his biggest improvement this offseason.

Okogie can also maintain a top 3D role. Not only does he have a high three-point shooting rate, he also scores three consecutive three-pointers in the third quarter to help the team stabilize the situation. On the defensive end, whether it is assisting defense or defending forward, the pressure on the opponent is very high. Ethan and Sheppard also maintained good output in this game. Both of them control the three-pointers very well, and their defensive strength is also sufficient, which can ensure the Rockets' sense of oppression in the two lineups.

Durant, Shen Jing, and Capela all performed passably. The pressure on Durant was still too much, because the opponent kept double-teaming tactics, causing Durant to be completely lost on the offensive end. In addition, Durant was still competing, and he shot 5 of 18 in the game. But in addition to his inability to shoot, Durant can create opportunities for opponents, and his contribution on the defensive end is also good. His output is still acceptable, and his plus-minus value even reaches +18.

Shen Jing is still under great pressure in this game, because he does not have a No. 1 position, and he needs to be compatible with such a position, which gives him a lot to do on the offensive end. Even if he made 6 mistakes and his shooting was a bit tough, he could still maintain a stable connection, with 20+16+7 in the game. Such statistics are still perfect. Capela's decline is indeed great now, and his finishing is definitely not as good as before. Even so, Capela's rebounding can be stable, which is enough for inside players. Especially for the connecting section, it is enough to stabilize the protective frame.
