Facing the Spurs, the Rockets played very tenaciously at both ends of the offense and defense, but the lack of rotation personnel became the main factor for the Rockets to lose points in the second half. The physical strength of the main players declined seriously, and the Spurs took the opportunity to play a small climax to win. In addition to Wood's data of 24 points 18 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Mai Kare Mo Ye has data of 2 1 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, but the most surprising performance for the Rockets is the top draft pick Mei Sen Jones, whose comprehensive data of 24 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists once again shows great potential.
In the whole game, Jones played for 36 minutes, 12 made 8 shots, 3 points, 6 shots, 4 assists and 8 assists, and scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists efficiently. Six 3-pointers in the audience became 3-pointers of the Rockets. Jones ranked first in the three big data, scored 24 points, made eight three-pointers, hit six three-pointers, and 75% of the three-pointer hit rate was also the highest in the team. In the last quarter, he made a difficult 2+ 1 layup, which is the performance of Harden.
Jones really became famous in the First World War. He played for 36 minutes, 12 made 8 shots, 3-8 made 6 shots, and knocked down the comprehensive data of 24+6+4, creating a career record of 8 data. Jones once said that he was the strongest rookie of the year, and he seized the opportunity in this game. In addition, it was the outbreak of Jones that gave the Rockets a new reliance on the offensive end, which well shared the pressure of Mike Carremo and Wood on the offensive end.
Jones is the top draft pick of the Rockets, with a height of1.96m.. The Rockets signed Jones on a two-way contract, which is called temporary work. They will return to the development league after 45 days in the team, unless the team turns his contract into a formal contract, and his annual salary is only $70 thousand. However, this did not affect Jones's play. In the absence of Wall and other main players, Jones got a chance to prove himself. After the game, Rockets coach Silas also praised Jones, saying that "Jones showed that he can play well. I am proud of his performance today and I am proud of his daily training. " In this state, Jones will soon become a regular employee. I hope the low version of Harden can bring good luck to the Rockets.
