This season, the NBA has produced many super dark pony teams, including the Western Thunder and Timberwolves. Their records have always ranked among the top three in the Western Conference. The Knicks and Magic in the Eastern Conference have very, very good records, especially the Magic. They were the bottom team in the Western Conference last season, but this season they have a top-five record in the Eastern Conference. In addition, the Houston Rockets are also on the rise. Jaylen Green, Jabari Smith, VanVleet and Dillon are in hot form. The Rockets are making great progress, winning 8 consecutive games and preparing to hit the playoffs. 10 wins and 1 loss! First in the league! The super dark horse changed his fate against the odds, and the deal signing was indeed a great success.
At the beginning of the season, the Rockets were very strong. They had ranked among the top four in the Western Conference. However, as the regular season progressed and Talisin was injured and absent, the Rockets' record ranking began to decline. However, after entering March, the Houston Rockets re-emerged. Jaylen Green and VanVleet led the team to explode wildly, defeating many strong teams, and prepared to change their fate and enter the play-offs and enter the playoffs. The Rockets defeated the Suns, Kings and Cavaliers, all of which are considered strong teams heading into the playoffs. Moreover, Shen Jing has also suffered injuries recently. The two core players Shen Jing and Talisin are absent at the same time. The Rockets' record is still rising, which is amazing.
US media NBA reporters officially reported that the Houston Rockets had a record of 10 wins and 1 loss in March, ranking first in the league during the same period. During this period, the Rockets ranked third in the league in offensive efficiency (118.9) and second in defensive efficiency (109.5). Currently, only the Rockets and Celtics have the longest winning streak in the NBA, and their overall state is the hottest. Jaylen Green has scored 40+ points in two of the last three games, and he is in extremely hot scoring form. Jaylen Green averaged 28.3 points + 5.3 rebounds + 3.1 assists + 1.3 steals per game in March, and his shooting percentage was as high as 57.8%. Jaylen Green has won the Player of the Week title for two consecutive weeks, and the Western Conference Player of the Month award in March is probably none other than him (both his personal data and team record are impeccable).
The Rockets played well not only because of Jaylen Green's explosive state, but also because of the efforts of Dillon, VanVleet, Jeff Green and Landale. For example, when the Rockets played against the Jazz, Jaylen Green scored 41 points + 4 rebounds + 4 assists. VanVleet made 11 of 16 shots and efficiently scored 34 points + 3 rebounds + 7 assists + 2 steals. . Once Van Jordan exerts his strength, the Rockets' offense and organization are very sharp and they play smoothly. Moreover, veteran Jeff Green is still young. He came off the bench and efficiently scored 21 points + 4 rebounds + 2 assists + 2 blocks (0 turnovers), as if he was back at the top.
The Rockets played against the Bulls. Dillon worked hard and made 10 of 13 shots. He efficiently scored 23 points + 2 rebounds + 2 assists + 2 steals (0 turnovers). Jeff Green continued to shine, making 6 of 8 shots and scoring 14 points + 7 rebounds + 1 steal + 1 block (0 turnovers, plus-minus +21, the highest in the game). Langdale turned into a super insider. He actually scored 17 points + 12 rebounds + 5 assists + 2 blocks efficiently. He showed the dominance of a super center, which is surprising. Although Talisin and Shen Jing were absent, the Rockets players played very hard and were very resilient. The Rockets traded and signed VanVleet, Dillon, Jeff Green, VanVleet and others, and it was indeed a great success. According to
nba statistics, the Rockets have beaten their opponents by an average of 14.6 points per game during their recent eight-game winning streak, which is a big victory in almost every game. The Rockets averaged 122.6 points per game in March and have had three 130+ games, which reflects the Rockets' fierce offensive firepower. As the Golden State Warriors lost to the Pacers and Timberwolves and suffered a losing streak, the Rockets won 8 consecutive games. Now the Rockets are only one win behind the Warriors (tenth in the Western Conference). Therefore, everyone believes that the Rockets have a real chance of reaching the play-offs and hitting the playoffs. Do you think the super dark horse Rockets can change their destiny and make the playoffs?
