The Houston Rockets defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 120-118 at home, giving a sense of fulfilling past efforts this year. The Rockets have achieved the second-best record in the West, replicating last season's Thunder script. Moreover, Jalen Green has recently started to explode, providing a significant boost to the Rockets' record. Green played for 40 minutes, shooting 13 out of 18 from the field, including 5 out of 6 from three-point range, scoring 42 points with 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Notably, Green has now matched the level of Hakeem Olajuwon, the first star of the Rockets. Green scored 42 points against the Grizzlies with a 72.2% shooting rate, making him the second player in the Rockets' history after Olajuwon to score over 40 points with a 70% shooting rate before the age of 23. It can truly be said that Green is unpredictable. When you praised Green for his breakthrough at the beginning of last year, he underperformed for a month, dropping from an average of 29 points to 19 points per game. However, when you say Green is not good enough, he averages 25 points after Christmas. Now, Green's average has quietly reached 21 points. What can you say about that? You dare not even hype him up because doing so might lead to another disappointing performance in the next game. Of course, we still hope that Green can maintain his form throughout January, as the schedule this month is tough. If the Rockets can stabilize their record this month, they will undoubtedly secure a spot in the playoffs…
