Su Qun suspects that Uduka restricts Jaylen Green s G7 s right to take action!

The first round tiebreak in the NBA playoffs has ended, and the Rockets, the second-placed West in the regular season, lost to the Warriors 89-103 and stopped in the first round. This loss caused huge controversy - Rockets core Jaylen Green only made 8 shots in the game, scoring 8 points and 4 rebounds, which is a huge difference from his performance of G2 scoring 38 points. The turning point of the game occurred in the second half of the third quarter. The Rockets once raised the gap to 3 points with Amen Thompson's strong performance, but Uduka replaced Green at a critical moment, and the latter did not reappear until the final quarter. The Warriors have opened up the gap with Hilder's 9 three-pointers (33 points) in a single game, and Green has made no achievements by scoring 2 points with just free throws. After the game, basketball commentator Su Qun posted a bluntly on social media: "I deeply suspect that Uduka has imposed forced restrictions on Green's right to take action. This life-and-death battle, mistakenly attacking and losing rebounds or being hit to counterattack, will make the Warriors have the momentum. Once the Warriors' counterattack is started, the Rockets' joint defense will not be able to be played." Behind the controversy, there is naturally no data that cannot meet the expected results of fans:

Jaylen Green averaged 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists in the series, with a shooting percentage of 37.2%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 29.5%. Compared with the regular season, the data has a considerable decline.

Su Qun suggests that the Rockets pursue Durant this summer, and Green still needs to practice hard, but the Rockets can't afford to wait. KD's experience and hard solution ability can allow the Rockets to pass the scoring drought stage.

Green's problem is not only a technical shortcomings (rough control and unstable projection), but also a psychological curse. Starting from G3, the Warriors let him go to the right and narrowed the penalty area in a targeted manner, causing his breakthrough efficiency to plummet and his confidence to gradually decrease. This mentality is to project on the field, and hesitate to ask for the ball or pass the ball in the last quarter. In the last five games of the series, he averaged averages averaged averages and could not solve the problem by holding the ball at critical moments.

But Uduka's "protective hiding" is also worth discussing. When Green G2 scored 38 points, the Rockets' offensive efficiency was extremely high; and when he was restricted from taking action, the team's offense was trapped in the quagmire of Van Jordan's singles and Shen Jing's low-post hard drilling, and its efficiency dropped sharply. The "defensive iron army" created by Uduka has indeed transformed the Rockets, with averaging 104 points per game better than the regular season, ranking first in rebounds and free throws. However, overemphasizing "equality" leads to a lack of killer weapons at critical moments.

vs. Warriors Cole activated Hilde (averages 11.1 points per game in the regular season → 33 points in the tiebreak), Uduka's use of Green is conservative - in the fourth quarter of the series, Green averaged far lower than the regular season.

The Rockets want to cultivate young people, but also long for short-term results. When Green's growth was not as expected, it was understandable that the management was coveting Durant. But the question is, can the 36-year-old KD really fit into this young Rockets? His annual salary of $50 million will lock in salary space, forcing the Rockets to send potential stocks such as Smith Jr. and Ethan. The Rockets' double-standard attitude towards Jaylen Green is confusing. While giving him a three-year, 105 million yuan contract extension, he compressed his tactical status in the playoffs. "It is the same as the CBA team's thinking of "performance overwhelming" and the Rockets may also be betting that the "Wuduka system" can cover up the core flaws.

The team without superstars is destined to go far. Except for the Warriors in 2022, the rest have all had the first-match stars of the season. If the Rockets continue to let Shin Kyung (playoff shooting percentage 45% + 37%) serve as the main attack point, it may be difficult for him to break through the first round of the playoffs. The Rockets' tragedy of tiebreaking seven is due to the battle between "cultivating new stars" and "winning in the present". Uduka restricts Green, perhaps out of the kindness of protecting the team, but exposes the chaos of the logic of employing people - he wants Green to grow into a super giant without giving him room to make mistakes; he wants to rise up with young people, and fantasizes about Durant helping his life. Although Su Qun's suggestion is radical, it points out the truth. The Rockets need to clarify the direction. If you choose to believe in Green, you should give him Harden-style tolerance for making mistakes; if you pursue combat power, you will have to bear the risks of KD aging and overdrawing in the future.

is unsteady and will only be "a waste of money from the bamboo basket".
