On November 25, the NBA regular season continued. Today, the Suns faced the challenge of the Rockets at home. This game can be said to have attracted much attention. Although Feng Xue and Durant did not play, Dillon was full of excitement when facing his old club. After all, Dillon has played a career highlight this season, and he also wants to prove himself in front of his old club. The Rockets have changed their lineup in this game. Next, let's talk about the game process first, and then talk about the performance of the players.

Game review:

At the beginning of the first quarter, Richard made a tip-in to help the Suns take the lead. Okogie scored 4 points in a row to open up the Rockets. Booker hit a three-pointer, Shen Jing responded with a turnaround jumper, Goodwin and Shen Beijing scored three points from each other. Amen and Holiday scored one after another to help the Rockets establish a 5-point lead. After that, the two sides started a chasing battle. The Rockets established the lead and the Suns would soon catch up. At the end of the quarter, Holiday hit two three-pointers in a row to help the Rockets lead by 7 points to end the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Davison hit a three-pointer to expand the Rockets' lead. Royce O'Neal and Gillespie responded with 5 points together. Holiday hit a three-pointer. Goodwin and Dillon scored one after another. The Suns relied on better offensive firepower and they launched a counterattack climax.

Dillon's mid-range hit narrowed the point difference for the Suns. Shepard and O'Neal exchanged three-pointers. Shen Jing and Amen scored one after another, helping the Rockets to expand their lead to double digits again. Grams and Goodwin responded by scoring 4 points together. Okogie and Jabari Smith scored one after another. The Rockets once extended their lead to 14 points. At the end of the quarter, driven by Booker, the Suns gradually eroded the point difference. After three quarters, the Suns were still 9 points behind.

In the decisive battle of the final quarter, Gillespie hit a three-pointer to help the Suns narrow the point difference. The Rockets obviously wanted to close the game. Amen Thompson scored 4 points in a row and Jabari Smith made a free throw. They expanded their lead to 14 points. After that, the Rockets' firepower continued to widen the point difference. The game also lost suspense. In the end, the Rockets defeated the Suns 114-92.

Dillon burned out

In this game, Dillon faced his old club. He played bloody well. He made 11 of 21 in the game, 2 of 8 three-pointers, and scored 28 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals. Although the three-point efficiency was not very good, Dillon used his defense to bring tenacity to the team and help the team seize the game. Otherwise, a lineup like theirs would not be able to last three quarters against the luxurious Rockets. Dillon bullied Shepard a lot in this game, but he really couldn't beat Amen at all.

Brown scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists on 5-of-13 shooting. So far this season, Booker has averaged 27 points and 7 assists per game. His performance has exceeded expectations. Booker has been heavily defended by opponents this season and has not had many easy opportunities. Therefore, such a performance also shows that he has taken steps towards becoming a top star. In this game, Goodwin scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. The Suns have played so hard this season, and he and Dillon are indispensable.

Gillespie scored 16 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Gillespie is a treasure player. The Suns discovered his talent last season and made him the team's sixth man this season. The young man plays a bit like Dragic. According to the current situation, it is possible to become the next Xiaoli. Although the Suns do not have much talent this season, it is difficult to achieve a high ranking, but with their resilience, they are expected to be able to reach the play-offs.

Udoka will finally use Amen

The best performer for the Rockets in this game is Amen. He not only provided high-quality defense on the defensive end to help the team, he also performed very well on the offensive end in this game. He made 10 of 16 shots in the game and got 29 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block. The main reason for Amen's good performance in this campaign was Uduka's change of formation. The Rockets started with one star and four shooters. Okogie, Shepard, Smith and Shen Jing played together with Amen.

Now that there is space, Amen can play more freely. They are more suitable to partner with this lineup, rather than always joining forces with the Twin Towers. Next, I think that if Uduka wants to make good use of Shen Jing, then it is a good choice to let him play a one-star and four-shooter system in the transition period. In this game, Shen Jing made 7 of 13 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. After being beaten by Jokic, Shen Jing's mentality was not affected, which is a good thing.

This campaign also dared to take three-pointers. As long as Shen Jing is determined enough on the offensive end, the Rockets' offense will be smoother. In this campaign, Holiday came off the bench and scored 20 points, 2 assists and 2 steals on 7 of 16 shots. Holiday Jr. has a sense of sight as a top shooter. He is great as a fixed-point shooter, but he likes to make extra plays by himself, and it is really hard to watch offense with the ball. Shepard entered the starting lineup and scored 7 points, 5 assists and 3 steals on 2 of 9 starts. The offensive end was inefficient and the defense was targeted. He still needs more practice.

Having said that, what do you want to say about the current rockets and the sun? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
