In the NBA preseason, the Rockets challenged the Hawks away from home. The two sides had already played a game before. The Rockets had the last laugh, and Durant also made his debut. After two games of running-in, the Rockets are getting better and better. In the past three games, they averaged 130 points per game. It can be said that the ceiling of this team is in the sky, very high!
Since the start of the preseason, the Rockets have scored 122 points, 140 points, and 128 points in the past three games, with an average of 130 points. This is just the beginning of the Rockets' run-in. This kind of offensive performance The talent is breathtaking. In addition to his performance on the offensive end, coach Uduka has even more fantastic ideas. He used a five-high lineup in the previous game, and the effect was very good. However, head coach Uduka said that the starting lineup for the regular season is now uncertain.
In this game, the Hawks played with their strongest lineup and wanted to take a chance on the powerful Rockets. However, what they didn't expect was that the Rockets chose to rest a large area. It was too unethical. But Shepherd's opportunity came. The specific starting list is as follows.
Hawks starting lineup: Risashe, Okongwu, Pozin, Walker, Trae Young.
Rockets starting lineup: Okogie, Crawford, Green, Shepard, Holiday.
At the beginning of the game, Walker came up with a 3-pointer. Shepherd stole the ball and then rushed in directly with a dunk. It looked like he was going to explode today. Okogie also came and sent a big shot. At the same time, he counterattacked with the ball and scored a layup. Trae Young responded with a 3-pointer and Holiday scored a two-pointer. A wonderful scene reappeared here. Shepherd grabbed the rebound and passed it to Okogie. He rushed straight to the basket and caused a foul. The score came to 7:7.
Subsequently, Okogie scored another 3 points. What is he going to do? Within 5 minutes of playing, he scored 10 points, 1 steal, and 2 blocks, Omai! The score quickly reached 14:9. The Rockets still had vision. At that time, other teams still disliked him, but the Rockets took action decisively and wisely.
In the end, the Hawks turned up the intensity. Bozin and Risashe continued to work hard in the paint, chasing the score to 13:14. At the critical moment, Crawford scored a three-pointer, and Risashe stepped in to pull the lever and score. The score reached 17:15 and entered a timeout.
Back to the game, Shepherd and Walker scored consecutively, and the Rockets' third team still firmly controlled the game and always maintained the lead. Shepherd broke through for a layup and scored again. Trae Young responded with a three-pointer, but then Shepherd immediately responded with a three-pointer, Wooooow! Shepherd scored three times in a row, and at 24:22, the Rockets still maintained the lead. Holiday then scored 4 points in a row. At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led the Eagles by 4 points 31:27.
At the end of the first quarter, Okogie scored 10 points, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. Shepherd scored 9 points, Holiday had 8 points, and for the Hawks, Lisa had 7 points, Bozin had 8 points, and Trae Young had 3 points.
The game entered the second quarter, and the Rockets played very well, totally worthy of the Eagles. The game was very intense.
In this game, the main force of the Rockets took turns. It can be said that the Rockets' three formations were fighting, but facing the Hawks' first formation, the performance was still impressive. And Shepherd showed his leadership style today and finally fulfilled his talent, especially scoring 3 goals in a row in the first quarter, which shows that his ability is still there and the future is promising. Maybe when VanVleet comes back, he will find that he has no position.
And this year's new signing Okogie is so good. He combines offense and defense. He has that kind of nerve-wracking feeling. He scored 10 points and 2 blocks in just 5 minutes at the beginning of the first quarter. In the future, he will become a surprise player for the Rockets. It must be admitted that the Rockets' signings this year are still very successful.
It can be said that the Rockets are getting better and better. The team is unprecedentedly united and the atmosphere is very good. Not long ago, the whole team attended the retirement ceremony of Jabari Smith's high school jersey and witnessed Jabari's moment of glory. This also shows that the whole team has become a rope. In one word, it is unity, which is as powerful as gold.
In addition to the very good atmosphere of the team, the entire Houston is also a thriving scene. Large posters of the new Big Three composed of Durant, Amen, and Shen Jing have been posted on billboards. The current Rockets are ready to go all out to hit the championship in the new season, come on!
After this game, the Rockets' preseason this year has ended. The next game will be the regular season on October 22. At that time, the Rockets will face the defending champion Thunder. As for the team's final starting lineup, Uduka has not yet given a final answer. It is unknown whether the five-tower lineup will be used. We will wait and see how the team will be arranged!
