Hugh City s abandoned player averaged 21 points per game. The Rockets added 53.28 million new players for two games in a row. Uduka Guizhou s skills were exhausted.

The Rockets fell to fifth place in the Western Conference after losing on the latest game day. The Suns ranked one behind them. The Suns' performance so far this season has clearly exceeded expectations. This team only has one star left in Booker, but it seems to be more combative.

Jaylen Green played a great performance after his comeback, but unfortunately he was injured again. Fortunately, the Suns also acquired Dillon in the trade with the Rockets. Dillon's arrival has improved the Suns' defense, and their defensive efficiency this season is not much worse than the Rockets.

Jalen Green was unable to play, and Dillon became the beneficiary. He gained a lot of ball rights. This Houston player averaged 21 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.1 steals per game this season, shooting 46% from the field, 34.2% from the three-point range, and 87.2% from the free throw line. Dillon's scoring average, field goal percentage, three-point field goals, and free throw percentage are all career highs. Dillon's annual salary this season is US$21.12 million, which is really worth it. The Suns have made a lot of money.

Dillon previously said that Jaylen Green would be very motivated against his old team, the Rockets, so why wouldn't he himself? Then the Suns will play against the Rockets, and Dillon will have the opportunity to slap him in the face.

Alperon Sengon's annual salary this season is US$33.94 million. However, he performed poorly in the Rockets' key game against the Nuggets and became the loser. Before the game, Uduka said that Jokic has more experience, while Sengon is more athletic. They are similar in many places. After the game, Jokic said that he had no thoughts of revenge. He and Sengon had a good competitive relationship, and their playing styles were similar but somewhat different.

Sengon is not the only one who needs to take the blame for this defeat, Durant is also responsible. Durant's annual salary this season is US$53.28 million, which is more than twice that of Dillon. As a result, the Rockets' new aid has missed two games in a row and his performance is disappointing.

In the last game, Durant scored 20 points on 6-of-18 shooting. He did not score 3-0 in the final quarter. Because the Rockets won, he did not need to take the blame. In this game, Durant scored 13 points on 5-of-14 shooting, but failed to score on 0-of-3 shooting in the final quarter. He cannot escape responsibility for the Rockets' loss.

Durant averaged 24.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1 steal per game this season, shooting 48.7% from the field, 36.4% from the three-point range, and 88% from the free throw line. Durant's scoring and shooting percentage after joining the Rockets were the worst since he returned from a serious injury, which was in sharp contrast to Dillon.

After the game, some Houston media people said helplessly: When the two core players in the team combined to make 11 of 28 shots, it is almost impossible to win against the top three teams in the league.

Sengon and Durant have problems, but many Rockets fans believe that Udoka has a bigger problem. Uduka's formation and on-the-spot command are significantly different from those of top coaches. The Rockets have lost more than once this season because of his stubbornness. Jaylen Green helped Udoka attract a lot of firepower last season, and this season he will directly bear the anger from the fans.

Uduka is good at coaching defense, but offense is not his strong point. In order to solve the Rockets' offensive problems, Uduka fully promoted Durant's trade. However, I never expected that Van Jordan was injured, Durant declined, and Sengon was unstable. Now Uduka is at his wits end and has no options when encountering a strong team.

Of course Udoka would not admit that there were any problems with his coaching. After the game, he publicly praised Sheppard for allowing the Rockets to regain their rhythm. Sheppard has a high emotional intelligence. He said that the trust of his teammates and head coach made him shoot more decisively, which feels good. Sheppard also mentioned that he followed Van Jordan's guidance and used the pick-and-roll to score three-pointers, thus opening up the situation for the Rockets. I have to say that the Rockets assistant coach is very expensive but he is really good.
