Hit 29+8+8! The main controller of the Rockets called on his teammates: 3-3, don t be too happy too early! He deserves the boss of the team

Compared with the Clippers' core guard James Harden, Van Vreet is short, lacks strength, and has no advantage in speed. Moreover, his personal talent is completely incomparable to Harden. Van Vreet was just a undraft signed by the Raptors back then, but with solid basic skills, excellent shooting ability and passing vision, Van Vreet won the NBA championship with the Raptors, and the Raptors defeated the current Rockets opponent Golden State Warriors. For the Rockets, choosing the latter among Harden and Van Vreet was undoubtedly the right choice.

Harden is indeed a talented person and is a super scorer. Although he is older now, he is still one of the best passers in the league. However, Harden's spiritual attributes and ability to fight tough battles are obviously lacking, while Van Vritte is completely different.

The 31-year-old guard is strong when he meets the strong. Although the Rockets lag behind the Warriors 1:3 and almost eliminated, Van Vreet played an All-Star guard-level performance in the last three playoffs - he scored a total of 80 points in three games. In the previous game when the Rockets defeated the Warriors, Van Vreet had a helping hand, scoring 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in the game, becoming the Rockets' number one hero. Although the Rockets' double-tas Shinkyung and Adams also performed very well, it was naturally the veteran Van Variett who was able to stand up and score at critical moments.

So, the Rockets cannot be without Van Vritte. Even if the contract is on the team option this summer, the Rockets should keep him anyway. Perhaps Van Vreet had more injuries in the regular season, and perhaps his shooting percentage declined severely in the regular season, but in the most critical playoffs, it is obvious that Van Vreetet is the most reliable player among all the Rockets' outside guards: they shoot accurately, have strong passes, can sort out the offense, and can also have an impact on Curry on the defensive end. Such a defender is indeed worth an annual salary of 40 million. More importantly, in terms of leading the team, veteran Van Variett is more like the Rockets' team boss and leader. Van Vreet was interviewed after the Rockets defeated the Warriors in the previous game. He did not seem particularly happy. Although he equalized the score by defeating the Warriors, he knew that the two teams were still on the same starting line, and the 3:3 total score did not give the Rockets any advantage. Even if the Rockets have a home advantage in the next game, they may not be able to defeat their opponents.

VanVleet was very clear and not blinded by a victory. He shouted directly to his teammates and said that the victory of this game was the credit of his teammates. Without the efforts and selfless dedication of his teammates, the Rockets could not win, so all the praises should belong to his teammates. It's not the time to celebrate, because the Rockets must stay focused and there is still a next tiebreak battle to fight.

In other words, Van Vreet is the most sober person in the Rockets. He is not complacent about equalizing the score, but instead keenly detects potential dangers. He knew that the Warriors would definitely counterattack, and the two superstars, Curry and Jimmy Butler, would also play their best in the tiebreak battle. So the next game is still the most difficult fight for the Rockets. But obviously, the Rockets have a team leader like Van Vreett, and young players have the backbone.
