Scored 137 points, the Rockets went berserk! Ethan scored 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting, and his big contract is gone

The Rockets in the new season are highly anticipated. They have introduced Durant, and acquired generals such as Smith and Capela. The lineup has been further upgraded, and the team has the strength to compete for the championship.

However, amidst the expectations of the fans, the Rockets' performance was not satisfactory! When Van Jordan was injured, the Rockets lost the core of their backcourt and suffered a huge blow on the offensive end. As a result, they were suppressed by their opponents in the duels with the Thunder and Pistons. They lost all the first two games and fell to the bottom of the Western Conference with a record of 0 wins and 2 losses!

The backcourt problem is indeed big, and the team's lineup has flaws, which needs to be solved by Uduka and the players. Fortunately, after the Rockets lost in a row, they finally faced a weak opponent and saw the opportunity to win their first victory!

The Rockets met the Nets in Game 3. The Nets have completely become a bad team in the new season. They lost all the first 3 games. The team's strength is indeed poor, and it is difficult to pose any threat to the Rockets in this game!

As expected, facing the underdog Nets, the Rockets really found their form! Shenjing blossomed inside and outside, Amen frequently attacked the inside, Smith Jr. and Durant also contributed, and Ethan was even more unstoppable after coming on the court. He scored 3 points in a row from the outside. The Rockets' offensive end exploded collectively, scoring 42 points in a single quarter, taking a huge 17-point lead! Ethan continued to work hard in the second quarter, and the three-pointers were very sharp, but the Nets also found their form. Mann and Porter also scored three-pointers in a row. Sharp and Martin also scored points. The Nets reversed the decline on the court and narrowed the gap between the two teams. Fortunately, relying on Ethan's hot touch, the Rockets still maintained an 11-point lead at halftime!

In the second half, the Nets' offense suddenly misfired, and their consecutive offensive shots missed. The Rockets were not polite at all. Durant, Shen Jing, and Smith Jr. showed more promise, and the team quickly opened up the score! Porter stopped the bleeding for the Nets, and Mann also hit a 3-pointer. However, the Nets overall felt too bad and only scored 17 points in a single quarter. The Rockets also took advantage of the situation to open up a lead of more than 20 points! With a big lead, the two sides sent in substitute lineups early in the final quarter. Shepard also showed his talent in the substitute match, frequently assisting his teammates, and constantly scoring himself, helping the Rockets maintain their advantage. In the end, the Rockets defeated the Nets 137:109, ending their two-game losing streak and ushering in their first win of the new season!

scored 137 points. After two consecutive losses at the beginning of the game, the Rockets finally played their own rhythm in this game, staged a mercury-like offense, and went on a collective rampage, winning their first victory of the season!

The Rockets played really well in this game, with 7 players on the team scoring in double figures! Durant tried his best and scored 19 points and 6 rebounds. Smith Jr. scored 11 points and 4 rebounds. Shen Jing scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. His performance this season has become more comprehensive. Okogie scored 10 points. Amen's condition improved slightly, scoring 12 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists! Shepherd entered the state and scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists on 6-of-11 shooting. If he can maintain this state and feel, it will be a matter of time before he gets promoted!

Of course, Ethan was the best performer in this game. He scored 20 points at halftime and scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 8-of-12 shooting. This set the trend of the game and was the key to the Rockets' victory. He also proved his own value. He is definitely a big improvement for the Rockets, and it also makes his new contract and the road to a clearer future.

Ethan is now in the period of renewing his contract with the Rockets, but the two parties did not reach an agreement to renew the contract due to differences before. This also caused a lot of trouble for Ethan and affected his performance. However, Ethan found his form in this game and showed his progress. If he can continue such outstanding performance, he will not be able to get a big contract!
