The Rockets showed two major advantages, Durant set three records! Shen Jing has two hidden dangers, Uduka hired the right people

On November 17, the Rockets played against the Magic at home. At the end of the game, the Rockets successfully defeated the Magic 117-113. Although Banqueiro has suffered injuries recently, the Magic have won a wave of three consecutive victories recently. Therefore, even if the Rockets have won a wave of three consecutive victories, the Rockets cannot be careless. Sure enough, the Magic did bring huge trouble to the Rockets in this game. After all, the Magic established a leading position early in this game. First, although the Magic's lead was not large, whenever the Rockets were about to catch up, Black, Bayne and Wagner were always able to respond. However, relying on the performance of Shen Jing and Durant, the Rockets still dragged the game into overtime. In the end, the Rockets completed the reversal in overtime and won the game.

The Rockets also showed two major advantages after this game. The first advantage is the Rockets' rebounding. The Rockets had a huge advantage in rebounding. At the end of the game, the Rockets grabbed 60 rebounds, of which the Rockets also grabbed 19 offensive rebounds. The Magic only grabbed 38 rebounds in this game, including only 9 offensive rebounds. The Rockets have produced such data more than once this season, and now the Rockets' average rebounds per game rank first in the league. The second major advantage is that the Rockets have many players who can stand up. The Rockets struggled this season because they relied too much on Durant and Shen Jing. However, as the season progressed, Shepard, Smith, Amen and others were able to step up and help the team. In today's game, 6 Rockets players scored more points. Although Adams only scored 3 points, his rebounds were of great help to the Rockets. This is why Adams was able to stay on the court at critical moments.

At the same time, Durant also proved why the Rockets traded for him in this game. Durant was in good offensive form in this game. More importantly, Durant was able to shout out to help the team at critical moments. In the fourth quarter of the game, Durant Just like this, the Rockets successfully tied the score with Durant's performance. In overtime, Durant even used a personal single to help the Rockets take the lead. At the end of the game, Durant scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Under such circumstances, Durant set three records. Now Durant's Rockets career total score has exceeded 300 points (276 points before the game). He is the fastest player in Rockets history to score 300 points in only 12 games. Durant has scored at least 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in 174 games so far in his career, tying Westbrook for eighth in history. At the same time, according to statistics, Durant scored 30+ points in two consecutive games, becoming the oldest player in the history of the Rockets to achieve this statistic.

Although Shen Jing's performance in this game is very critical, there are two hidden dangers here. The first hidden danger is Shen Jing's mistakes. Shen Jing made a lot of mistakes in this game, especially at critical moments, which made the Rockets very passive. In the end, Shen Jing also made 4 mistakes in this game, so Shen Jing must control his mistakes in the next game. The second hidden danger is Shen Jing's three-point shot. Although Shen Jing has the ability to shoot from outside three-pointers this season, Shen Jing's outside three-point shooting status is very unstable. You must know that Shen Jing's outside three-pointers were still 4 of 6 in the last game. In this game, Shen Jing's outside three-pointers were 0 of 1. Moreover, Shen Jing's shot occurred at a critical moment in the fourth quarter, when Durant hit a three-pointer later. Otherwise, Shen Jing's choice will hurt the team, so Shen Jing's three-pointer status will undoubtedly become a hidden danger.

Uduka really made the right choice here. Because Okogie's offensive performance in this game was limited, Okogie did not play at the critical moment. On the other hand, Adams was able to protect the rebounds, so Uduka put on the twin tower lineup of Shen Jing and Adams, and this organization also helped the team. In the key overtime Shen Jing was still connected with Adams at the moment. It was very important for Adams to score successfully. At the same time, Uduka also believed in Shepard's shooting ability, so when the two teams had a penalty shootout in overtime, Shepard was also substituted. In the end, Shepard was fouled and made a steady free throw. Under such circumstances, the Rockets slowly won the game. Therefore, Uduka's employment in this game was correct.
