In an NBA regular season game, the Houston Rockets lost at home to the Miami Heat with a score of 100-104. Despite significant progress this season, the Rockets still lack the temperament of a strong team. In their previous game, they suffered a disappointing reversal at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves after leading by 16 points in the final quarter, ending their winning streak. The Rockets are in need of a reliable star player to lead the team to victory. Currently, they rely on a group of players with average strength and talent but lack a decisive figure in critical moments. Following this game, the Rockets' record stands at 21 wins and 11 losses. Even without Jimmy Butler, the Heat managed to reverse the game against the Rockets, who also had multiple players ejected from the court. The Rockets started the game well, with VanVleet hitting a three-pointer and Shen Jing dominating the paint. Jalen Green was fouled beyond the three-point line, earning three free throws, and Dillon returned with good shooting form, quickly helping the Rockets take the lead. However, Green's consecutive misses and VanVleet's declining shooting percentage allowed the Heat to capitalize, with their backcourt duo of Herro and Rozier playing more consistently. The Rockets' initial advantage disappeared as the Heat turned the tide of the game. Amon Thompson and White魔兽Whitmore, the twin stars, came off the bench to inject energy into the Rockets' lineup. Amon unselfishly fed Whitmore, allowing him to score repeatedly. Although the Rockets' bench played with passion, the Heat maintained the lead, with…

The Rockets and the Heat players erupted into a brawl in the final moments of the game. At that time, Amon Thompson and Herro were entangled in the backcourt, and then Amon Thompson directly used a wrestling move to take down Herro. Subsequently, the players from both sides rushed over and started fighting, causing chaos at the scene, leaving the fans incredulous. Even members of the coaching staff joined the fray. After they were separated, several Heat players still seemed unwilling to let go and wanted to rush up to continue the fight. As a result, Shen Jing, the center of the Rockets, stood alone in the middle, preparing to block the second wave of the Heat's attack with his hands. At that time, the other players of the Rockets had already started to walk back. Through this action, it can be seen that although Shen Jing has always been known as a soft egg, at this moment, for the sake of his teammates, he stood out bravely, showing an extremely tough state that could be said to be the toughest on the team. What is amusing is that Dillon Brooks, who has always had a very fiery temper, did not join this brawl this time. This time, he kept his composure, otherwise if this player had rushed in, it would have been even more difficult to stop the conflict. Subsequently, a total of 6 players from the Rockets and the Heat were ejected from the game, including the head coach of the Rockets, Udoka, and an assistant coach were…

On December 30th, Beijing time, the NBA 2024-25 season regular season continued, with the Houston Rockets hosting the Miami Heat. Surprisingly, the Rockets have suffered eight consecutive losses against the Heat, failing to defeat them in four consecutive seasons, which is currently the longest losing streak against any team in the league. It's worth noting that before this season, the Rockets had just ended a 15-game losing streak against the Warriors and a 9-game losing streak against the Pacers. Obviously, the current Rockets are quietly rising, despite controversies over the positioning of Jalen Green and Shen Jing. However, the emergence of new stars Ethan and Amen Thompson has brought many surprises to the team and raised their defense to a new level. However, the Rockets' weaknesses are still obvious, as the team lacks a superstar who can deliver the decisive blow in critical moments. As a result, ESPN reporter Tim Bontemps revealed that many people within the league believe Houston will be the top contender for the next major trade involving star players. Coincidentally, the Heat are currently embroiled in trade rumors about their star player Butler, according to reporter Shams, who reported that Butler has decided to leave the Heat. However, Miami officials still insist they will not trade Butler, which also reflects the locker room conflict issues within the Heat. Before the game, ESPN also provided the latest win probability prediction for today's match, with the Rockets having a high win probability of 74.6%, while the Heat's win probability was only 25.4%. Obviously, ESPN is very optimistic that…

On December 29, 2024, Beijing time, the recent losing streak of the Kings has caused significant internal issues within the team. The team's core player, Fox, has been at the center of trade rumors. If Fox chooses to leave the team, it seems that the Rockets are the most likely destination for him. Recently, the American media Fadeaway World proposed a trade plan in which the Rockets would send out Sheppard, Dillon Brooks, Whitmore, the 2025 first-round pick, the 2027 first-round pick, the 2028 first-round pick, and the 2029 first-round pick in exchange for Fox and Ellis. If this trade were to succeed, the Rockets would be able to retain young players like Amon Thompson and Ethan while acquiring Fox, which would indeed be an acceptable outcome for the team. The starting lineup would consist of Green, Shen Jing, VanVleet, Thompson, Smith, Ethan, and Fox, with seven players in total. If we expand the roster further, players like Yasang Temple Adams, Landale, Tate, and Holiday could also step up. This seven-man main rotation lineup boasts excellent offensive and defensive capabilities as well as transition speed. Fox should be able to seamlessly integrate into the team. Therefore, from the current perspective, this trade is very favorable for the Rockets. It remains to be seen whether the Kings will accept such an offer.

The young Houston Rockets have performed exceptionally well this season. The Rockets are at the forefront of the league in both defense and rebounding this season, even though their offense still has obvious shortcomings, their record can still rank among the top three in the West. However, the goal for the Rockets this season is still to make it to the playoffs, and they cannot be too proud as they are still on the path of rebuilding. In yesterday's game against the Timberwolves, the Rockets paid a price for their youth. With over three minutes remaining in the game, the Rockets were still leading by 15 points, but under favorable circumstances, they subsequently made a disastrous performance, allowing their opponents to make a run and unfortunately lost the game. This game fully exposed the lack of a star player in the Rockets, if they had a superstar who could seal the deal, they could have won many more games this season. Recently, there have been rumors about the trade of Kings star De'Aaron Fox. The Kings are experiencing internal strife and have fired head coach Mike Brown. According to media reports, Fox may consider leaving the team, and teams like the Rockets and Spurs are closely monitoring Fox's situation. If the Rockets can get Fox, they will truly have a star player capable of playing key shots. This would be quite tempting for them. In recent days, American media outlets have been proposing trade schemes and various simulated suggestions. Recently, another trade proposal involving the Rockets trading for Fox has…

This season, several teams in the West have not met the expectations of fans, among which the most disappointing team is undoubtedly the Kings. During the offseason, the Kings recruited DeRozan to strengthen their lineup, forming a trio, but after DeRozan joined the Kings, the effect was not good, and the Kings' current record is even worse than last season. They are currently on a five-game losing streak and are ranked fourth from the bottom in the West. Therefore, recently, there have been rumors about Fox's trade. This season, Fox has performed very well, averaging 26.2 points and 6.1 assists per game. This season, Fox also scored 60 points. Under such outstanding performance, the team's record is very poor, and he is very disappointed, so it is not ruled out that he will choose to apply for a trade and leave the Kings. Currently, many teams in the league are very interested in Fox, and he has caused a scramble. The Lakers, Spurs, Rockets, and Heat all have great interest in this young guard. As a rising star, he will significantly enhance the immediate combat effectiveness of any team he joins. The Lakers will obviously join the competition, and they are currently in great need of a point guard like Fox. Although the Lakers currently have Russell and Reeves, Reeves is not strictly a point guard, and his scoring explosiveness is far inferior to Fox. Russell, on the other hand, is an inconsistent offensive player. Compared to Russell or Reeves, Fox is a higher-level player, especially his scoring ability in…

On December 28th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with a focus on the Western Conference as the Houston Rockets hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves. Prior to the game, the Rockets had a record of 21 wins and 9 losses, ranking second in the West, while the Timberwolves had 15 wins and 14 losses, ranking ninth in the West. The Rockets were led by Jalen Green and Shen Jing, while the Timberwolves were led by Edwards and Randle. The two teams had met once this season, with the Rockets narrowly winning 117-111 on the road. This time, the game returned to the Rockets' home court. Who would win the game? Let's wait and see. After four quarters of play, the Rockets lost 112-113 to the Timberwolves. The Rockets' player ratings: 3 perfect scores, 4 passes, 3 slumps! Game Preview: Before the game, the Rockets had a regular-season record of 21 wins and 9 losses, which is quite good for the season so far. They are currently on a four-game winning streak. So far this season, the team averages 113.4 points per game, ranking 12th in the league, allowing 106.5 points per game, ranking third in the league, and averaging 49.7 rebounds per game, ranking first in the league. It can be seen that the team's defensive ability is good, and they also do well in rebounding. The team just won big against the Pelicans on the road yesterday, so physical allocation will be an issue for the Rockets in this back-to-back game. Additionally, the performance of Jalen Green and VanVleet…

On that day, the NBA regular season was in full swing, with the Golden State Warriors waiting at home to face off against the Houston Rockets. Prior to this game, the Warriors had a record of 12 wins and 8 losses, ranking 5th in the Western Conference. However, they had not been doing well recently, suffering five consecutive losses. Curry's offensive momentum this season has not been strong, averaging only 22.6 points, which is the lowest he has scored in the past 11 seasons. The newly recruited Hield's efficiency from beyond the arc is not as high as it was at the beginning of the season. The Warriors are also short-handed in the frontcourt, and they have the lowest free throw percentage in the league so far, at only 70.3%, which is 14 percentage points lower than the Knicks, who rank first in the league. Given this situation, it will be quite challenging for the Warriors to establish another dynasty and make a run for the championship. On the other side, the Rockets entered the game with a record of 15 wins and 7 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference. The Rockets' performance this season has been quite surprising, as they have transformed from a weak team two years ago into one capable of making the playoffs. Looking at the Rockets' lineup, it is mostly young players without a clear leader. For example, Jalen Green, who averages the most points, has not performed well overall this season, often getting carried away and lacking efficiency. However, the Rockets often have…

On December 27, 2024, Beijing time, the Houston Rockets won a fierce match against the New Orleans Pelicans with a score of 128-111, further consolidating their rise in the Western Conference. Despite the absence of key players Zion and Ingram from the Pelicans, the Rockets demonstrated strong team collaboration and individual abilities throughout the game. In particular, the outstanding performances of Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet gave the Rockets' offense a significant boost. On the other hand, the Pelicans struggled offensively and failed to make timely adjustments defensively, ultimately leading to their defeat. Game Review: From the start of the game, the Rockets quickly established a lead, with Green and VanVleet's outside shooting providing stable scoring support for the team. Green showcased his offensive talent in the first half, hitting several crucial three-pointers and contributing a total of 30 points. VanVleet not only contributed 25 points but also made key steals and rebounds on defense. The interior protection provided by Alperen Sengun and Bruno Fernando was also crucial, helping the Rockets establish a strong defensive front under the basket. Although the Pelicans fought tenaciously under the leadership of CJ McCollum, they were unable to find their rhythm on offense due to the absence of their main players. Especially in the third quarter, the Pelicans attempted to close the gap by strengthening their defense, but the Rockets' quick counterattacks and accurate three-point shots kept the Pelicans from getting close to the score. Despite McCollum scoring 18 points throughout the game, his inefficient performance on the court directly affected the overall play…

The Houston Rockets' recent victory against the New Orleans Pelicans was a clear demonstration of their dominance, with no suspense from the start. The Pelicans seemed to have no intention of winning, as the Rockets quickly established a lead that they maintained throughout the game, ultimately securing a decisive 17-point win. This victory not only marked the Rockets' fourth consecutive win but also solidified their position as second in the Western Conference. The Rockets' recent momentum has been impressive, and their performance against teams that are not performing well has been particularly noteworthy. In this game, they led by as many as 30 points at one point, showcasing just how smoothly their game plan was executed. With this win, the Rockets have now achieved four consecutive victories, a streak that has helped them maintain their strong standing in the Western Conference. The question on everyone's mind is: who were the key players behind the Rockets' success? The data tells us that five players stood out. First among them is Aman. Despite scoring only 9 points, Aman contributed significantly with 10 rebounds, including 6 offensive rebounds, along with 3 assists and 5 blocks. Aman has proven himself to be an invaluable role player, and if he can improve his mid-to-long-range shooting, his potential is limitless. Second is Shen Jing. Shen Jing had a relatively easy game, contributing 10 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists. He played with ease and was able to control the game effectively. Third is Jalen Green. Green had an excellent shooting night, making 12 of his 21…
