8:28am, 13 May 2025【Basketball】

The Houston Rockets, a young team with unlimited hope and potential, ended the challenging journey of this season. They encountered the dilemma of "below-beat" in the first round and were eliminated by the Golden State Warriors. Although he bid farewell to the playoffs early, he did not fail at young age. After all, the average age of this Rockets is only 24.6 years old, and the future is still full of infinite possibilities. Uduka has been coaching the Rockets for only two years, so we might as well calm down and analyze the players' performance in the first round of the series and score them.

Shen Jing: The stable output of "Dinghai Shen Needle"

Shen Jing's performance in the first round of the series is remarkable. He averaged 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 45% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%. The team is ranked first in four statistics, just like the "Dinghai Shen Needle" in the Rockets formation. If he can hit that quasi-winning kill in G4, his score can completely soar to 9.9 points. Unfortunately, there is no if on the basketball court. If that shot misses, the Rockets also lose the opportunity to advance. Every attack and defense of Shin Kyung on the field is like a stable screw, tightly nailed into the Rockets' tactical system. His strong attacks in the inside, rebounding and passing organizations have shown maturity and stability beyond his age.

Amen: The "never give up" fighter

Amen averaged 33 minutes per game, scoring 15.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 49.4%. In the tiebreak battle, he became that dazzling light. When the other players were perhaps a little tired and gave up, he was the only one who did not surrender in advance. His fighting spirit on the field was like a burning flame, illuminating the Rockets' path forward. Every breakthrough and every defense is full of strength and determination. Although he failed to help the team reverse the situation in the end, his persistence and efforts deserve praise from every fan.

Van Jordan: The "later-range burst" surprise

Van Jordan burst continuously in the desperate situation where the Rockets were lagging behind 1-3. G3-6 averaged 26 points and also hit 6 three-pointers. He averaged 40 minutes per game in the last seven games, scoring 18.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1 steal, with a shooting percentage of 43% and a three-point shooting percentage of 43.5%. He was like a sudden sparkling star, standing up when the Rockets needed him the most. His three-pointer was like an accurate guided missile, tearing open the Warriors' defense line again and again; his breakthrough was like a whirlwind, disrupting the Warriors' defensive team. On the Rockets' path to survival in adversity, Van Jordan has become an indispensable key force.

Jaylen Green: The potential stock that "needs to be improved"

Jaylen Green scored only 20+ in one of the seven games in the series. He averaged 31.3 minutes per game, scoring 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.3 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 37.2%, and a three-point shooting percentage of only 29.5%. If he hadn't made some contribution on the defensive end, his score might have been lower. He is like a rough jade that is still polishing, with great potential, but he has not fully shown his own light yet. He sometimes falls into confusion on the offensive end and feels bad, but his defensive attitude is worthy of recognition. I believe that in the days to come, as long as he continues to train hard and improve his technical level, he will definitely become one of the core players of the Rockets.

Dillon: The controversial figure of "frustrated seven"

Dillon's defensive performance in the tie seven battle was a disaster. He missed Hilder's open space in various ways, like a defensive colander, making the Warriors' offense easy. Many people think he is an undercover agent in the Rockets' tiebreaker. He averaged 29.4 minutes per game, scoring 12.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44% and a three-point shooting percentage of 34%. Although he has performed well in other games, his poor performance in the key battle of tiebreak still has caused controversy.

Aquaman: The "efficient shining" inside gate

Aquaman is the only player in the Rockets' first round series to score 9 points. When he was on the court, the Rockets lost 14.3 points less on the defensive end, and the net efficiency value was as high as 25.7. He averaged 22.1 minutes per game, scored 5.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 0.4 steals and 1.1 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 60%. He is like a solid barrier in the Rockets' inside, guarding the team's basket. He has active rebounding, large defense coverage, and although he doesn't make many shots on the offensive end, his shooting percentage is extremely high. His performance on the field made the Rockets' inside line indestructible.

Ethan: The potential young player with "ups and downs"

Ethan averaged 18.9 minutes per game in this round of the series, scoring 7.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 47.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 36.8%. He has hated the Golden State Warriors since he was a child, and perhaps this emotion has made him particularly devoted to this series. However, he performed poorly in the tiebreak battle and could only score 5 points. He is like a growing sapling, sometimes showing strong vitality, and sometimes his condition is fluctuated by external factors.

Xiao Jia: The "flash-and-forthcoming" shining point

Xiao Jia only had one flash in the first round series. He averaged 20.4 minutes per game, scoring 7.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.1 steals and 0.7 blocks, with a three-point shooting percentage of 45.5%. He was like a meteor that occasionally passed by the night sky. Although it flashed briefly, it failed to continue to shine and heat.. However, his three-point shooting ability is still worthy of recognition. If he can maintain stable performance in subsequent games, he may become a weapon on the Rockets' bench.

Wuduka: The "constantly adjusting" helmsman

Wuduka is still worth at least 7 points when the Rockets are eliminated in the first round. He is adjusting his lineup and tactics almost every game, trying to find the best way to play for the team. In the tiebreak battle, he didn't expect to be bombed by Hilde. After all, Hilde's G5-6 scored 2 of 6, and his tactic of attacking Curry has always been successful. He is like an experienced captain, constantly adjusting his course in the rough sea, trying to lead the team to the other side of victory.
