The West is 7th in the second place! Rockets, you have to recognize the reality: the team has only 2 people without selling products!

On May 5, the first round tiebreak between the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors started as scheduled. As soon as the series started, the young youth team suffered a significant impact. Curry led the team to a good start and was even behind 1-3 after the first four games of the series. Just when people thought that the team was still defeated, they fought two wonderful counterattacks under the leadership of Van Vleet! The series was 3-3, and returned to home to retain the tiebreak. However, the game started, the Rockets team did not expect that although the team locked Curry in the first half, Hilder made a sudden appearance, making 8 of 9 shots in the half, including 6 three-pointers and scored 22 points, helping the Warriors establish a double-digit lead! In the second half, Curry began to stand up and take over the game. In the end, the young Rockets had to be eliminated unfortunately and were staged by the Warriors as the second in the West! Combined with this round of series, we can find that this young Rockets has only one person who is not selling!

Shen Jing--Sellable!

Shin Kyung is a young player with great personal characteristics. Although there are many problems on the defensive end in the regular season, he often plays beautiful data on the offensive end, but he can't defend his opponent at all on the defensive end. This situation has improved in this round of playoffs! From a data perspective, this round of series averaged 36.6 minutes per game, scoring 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds and 5.3 assists, but as a center player, his shooting percentage is only 45%, and his free throw shooting percentage is only 62.5%! His style of play is useless when facing a hard-line defender like Zhu Meng Green. He is superstitious about his own throwing shot after the confrontation. It is a fatal flaw inability to really hit the basket, let alone the defensive end. If Uduka hadn't reused Adams in the later games of the series, the Rockets would not have dragged the series into tiebreak!

Jaylen Green - available for sale! In the 7 games of the

series, Jaylen Green only played well in G2 in one game. He averaged 31.3 minutes per game and handed out 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. His three shooting percentage was as low as 37.2/29.5/66.7%. As a relatively older player of the Rockets, he is also the core of the team's outside offense. He only played one high-level game in 7 games, and was completely carried away by his teammates. The hard ball removal task that should have been undertaken was snatched by VanVleet. The offensive end depends too much on your physical talent. Once the game falls into positional battle, there is no good way, and the stability is not high!

Ethan - available for sale! In the regular season, Ethan still showed good strength. However, in the playoffs, the problem of poor psychological quality was infinitely amplified. In this round of series, I can't remember how many times he had lost control of his emotions, which eventually led to his personal defensive end and his offensive end could not even grasp the free throws. When the Rockets narrowed the score to 4 points in the third quarter, he first missed two free throws, and then made a mistake in passing, and the Warriors directly scored a 5-0 wave. He averaged 18.8 minutes per game in the series and handed out a report card of 7.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists. At present, he is still more focused on playing with his physical talent, and his basketball quotient and mentality have a lot of room for improvement!

Smith - Not for sale!

Smith is the Rockets' most stable player on the offensive end in this round of the series. Although he is a substitute, he averages only 20.4 minutes of playing time, averages 7.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 50%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 45.5%. No matter what his teammates feel, as long as he comes on the court, he can seize the opportunity of open three-pointers and has strong psychological qualities. This is also an element that a player must have if he wants to become a star player! As a forward player, he has all the skills that players at this position possess, can play back singles, have medium distances, three-pointers, defense, and excellent running and jumping skills, and excellent rebounding skills. The most important thing is that they don’t make many mistakes on the court!

Amen - Not for sale!

Finally, it is Amen. The reason why the Rockets have become the top defensive team in the league this season is because of his rapid growth on the defensive end. He is the team's well-deserved defensive core! When Van Vleet was injured in the middle of the season, he once came to the point guard position and also played well. He averaged 33 minutes per game in this round of the series, handed in a comprehensive data of 15.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists, with a shooting percentage of 49.4%! Although Curry performed super performance in this round of the series, Curry was extremely efficient when facing Amen's defense. G7 completely locked Curry in the first half. He stood up and scored continuously in the third quarter to help the team retain a glimmer of vitality. He had a leg cramp in the second half. He was the most competitive player on the Rockets' field, and his offense and defense were unreserved! Such a young player can become an All-Star player as long as he can solve his shooting problems.

To sum up, this season is regrettable for the young Rockets! But looking back, even they themselves can't believe that they can enter the playoffs with the second place in the West this season! They have performed beyond expectations, and faced with experienced Warriors, they have also forced them to tiebreak. Discovering problems and solving them is their primary responsibility during the offseason. What this team lacks the most is a star who can complete hard-solving tasks stably. Since this round of series, the Rockets should recognize the reality. Everyone except Amen and Smith can use it to trade!
