Rockets have been 105 million yuan in three years to pick up treasures? Forced to defensive ace in 6 games! It is expected to avoid trades and stay in the city

Not long ago, the Rockets were still 1:3 behind the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. At that time, many people thought that the Rockets had stopped this season. Although it is the second-largest team in the West, many people think that the Rockets are just an ordinary regular season team. In the environment where the regular season confrontation is not so fierce and the offense and defense is not so fast, the Rockets can win a record of 52 wins and 30 losses. However, in a head-on game like the playoffs, the Rockets' true strength was "tested". Obviously, many people think that the Rockets' second record in the Western Conference was obtained purely by luck.

But in fact, the Rockets' performance in Games 5 and 6 in the playoffs is still awesome. In the unfavorable situation of falling behind 1:3, the Rockets won two consecutive games, saving two match points in a row, and forced the Warriors to a desperate situation. Now the Rockets draw with the Warriors 3:3. The next game, that is, tomorrow morning, the Rockets and the Warriors will be held in Houston, the Rockets home court. For the sake of reason, the Rockets should all gain some home court advantages.

Furthermore, the Rockets are now strong, except for the two marginal rotations, Langdale and Tate, who cannot play, the rest of the players can play. The Warriors only had a day off, and their core players were older. It is hard to say whether they could keep up with the Rockets' strength in physical fitness.

In addition, the Rockets' young players have also made great contributions to winning. Although the key players in the Rockets' winning game in the last two games are veteran Van Vreett and center Adams, young players like Smith Jr., Shin Kyung, Ethan, and Amen Thompson have also made tough contributions on both offense and defense, and used their strength to fight back the Warriors.

More importantly, although the Rockets' 23-year-old outside player Jaylen Green, although his offensive data is relatively average, after 6 games, Jaylen Green of the Rockets' Rockets' finally grew into a defensive ace on the outside. Statistics show that Curry made only 8 of 23 shots under Jaylen Green's defense in 6 games.

The overall shooting percentage of the players against Jaylen Green is only 35.7%. Although Jaylen Green scored less than double-digit points in three games in 6 games, and only scored about 10 points in two games, the best performance was naturally 38 points in the second single game, but in the rest of the games, Jaylen Green couldn't start the situation on the offensive end, he did become the strongest ace defensive expert on the Rockets' outside on the defensive end.

So, last summer, the Rockets gave Jaylen Green a three-year, 105 million contract extension, and now it seems that he has found a treasure. An average annual salary of 33 million is still very worthwhile for Jaylen Green. After all, Jaylen Green is the Rockets with the most points per game in the regular season. He can also play the Rockets' point guard, who can shoot and pass the ball, and he is also very competitive. In the playoffs, the Warriors finally forced out the Rockets' defensive ace Jaylen Green. Although it was ignored on the offensive end, Jaylen Green finally had a substantial "evolution" on the defensive end. The

data will not lie, and the set of data just now further proves how high Jaylen Green's defensive intensity is in the playoffs. So many people say that if the Rockets want to chase superstars, they must send Jaylen Green away and trade him this summer. But now it is obvious that Jaylen Green has a firm foothold on the court using defense to the Rockets. On the tactical side, although he is not the first choice, or even the second choice, with him, it is difficult for the Warriors' outside shooters to score goals.

This is the value of Jaylen Green. He is expected to use his defensive performance to avoid possible big deals for the Rockets this summer. The 23-year-old star should be very stable to stay in the team, after all, a three-year, 105 million contract is not expensive. Jaylen Green is only 23 years old and his room to grow is still huge.
