To the point! The Rockets old player analyzed the main reason for the elimination: Shin Kyung is the basic market, and 1 player decides the upper limit

The Rockets have basically been successfully rebuilt. In the seven playoffs, although the Rockets finally lost to the Warriors with a total score of 3:4 and were blocked from the Western Conference semi-finals, there were also many highlights in the seven games. Especially the Rockets tied the score with two consecutive games, which is really gratifying. But in the last game, Buddy Hilder of the Warriors suddenly broke out, and Van Villet, who was originally in good condition, did not play the expected offensive level, so it was not surprising that the Rockets were eliminated.

In fact, most Rockets players' performance in this round of series are in line with expectations. For example, Van Vritte, who opened low and closed high; for example, Alperen Shinkin, who has been in a stable state and can average 20+10+5 in the playoffs. In addition, forwards such as Dillon Brooks and Amen Thompson also performed in a reasonable manner, and their condition seemed to be improved compared to the regular season.

In fact, what disappoints the Rockets the most is naturally the 23-year-old shooting guard Jaylen Green. In the regular season, Jaylen Green performed well. Sometimes, although his offensive efficiency is not high, he will take the initiative to transform and use his passes and defense to help the Rockets win. But in the playoffs, this won't work. Originally, the Rockets played eight-man rotation, and there were not many scoring players in the second team. If a main shooting guard like Jaylen Green could not score, he would obviously be a drag on the Rockets on the court.

The Rockets have no problem with defense in the series, but they have been very bad on the offensive end. If the Rockets could shoot more three points, their scoring guard Jaylen Green could increase his average of 13 points to around 18 points per game. Maybe the Rockets would have met the Timberwolves in the Western Conference semi-finals long ago.

Although the Rockets have long been eliminated, former Rockets shooting guard Victor Oladipo also talked about the team he once played for. He said that how far the Rockets can go in the playoffs depends on Jaylen Green - if he plays well in the playoff series, the Rockets can win, otherwise the Rockets will become very struggling. If Jaylen Green plays well, the Rockets will win 100%. This does not put pressure on Jaylen Green. Everyone knows the ball, because Shin Kyung can shoot 20+10 data no matter what.

So in the view of old player Oladipo, the basic set of the Rockets is Shin Kyung, and his average contribution of 20+10 per game is not a problem. The Rockets' ceiling is determined by Jaylen Green. If he can score high points, it will be very easy for the Rockets to win.

In the regular season before the playoffs, statistics show that if Jaylen Green can score 30+ points in a game, the Rockets' winning rate is basically above 90%. Therefore, Jaylen Green's importance to the Rockets is self-evident. Unfortunately, in seven games of the playoffs, he only played one good goal, and the other 6 games were quite sluggish. It is quite rare for the Rockets to be able to drag the tiebreak in this round of the series.

So, as Oladipo said, the Rockets have a basic set next season like Shin Kyung - he is a center who averages 20+10+5 per game. If the Rockets want to go further in the playoffs, Jaylen Green must stand up and support the team. If it doesn't work, it's better to trade him as soon as possible. Find a better scorer and cooperate with Shin Kyung, the Rockets will naturally have hope of going further.
