The Warriors can t defend against his shooting! The Rockets haven t yet inspired the full potential of the forward star?

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors who played at home 115-107. After this game, the Rockets, who won two consecutive games, have tied the total score of the series to 3-3. Next, both sides will return to Houston to prepare for the G7 game. This tiebreak battle will also determine who can enter the Western Conference semi-finals.

In this game, the Rockets' substitute forward star Jabari Smith Jr.'s performance was still able to remain at a high level. Smith played 18 minutes and 38 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 4 shots and 2 of 3 points and 2 of 3 points and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and had 2 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of +9. Smith didn't get any chance on the offensive end, but he also maintained a good feel. His advantage in figure determines that it is indeed difficult for the opponent to effectively limit his shots. However, on the other hand, Smith's weaknesses in technology and basic skills were also exposed. His offensive ability with the ball was indeed a little poor, or it was indeed difficult for him to provide more support to the team in other ways in the offensive end, besides shooting. But overall, Smith has completed his task well. He also maintained a high-level performance with limited playing time and made his own contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Smith played 57 games in 82 games, averaging 30.1 minutes per game, averaging 12.2 points, 7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. He shot 43.8%, three-point shooting percentage 35.4%, and free throw shooting percentage 82.5%. In the playoffs, Smith averaged 24.3 minutes in the first six games, with averaging 21.8 minutes per game, averaging 8.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.8 blocks. He also had 1.7 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage was 55.2%, three-point shooting percentage was 47.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 80%.

Although he didn't play much during this series, Smith's effect on the court was actually quite good. His offensive efficiency was very good, and his three-point shooting percentage was also quite reliable. Smith has a very obvious body advantage, and with his good shooting ability, he can be said to be constantly misaligned on the offensive end, and he can also use his advantages to accurately strike the opponent. It is not easy to be able to produce such data when there is not much playing time. When it comes to the next G7, I wonder if the Rockets will consider giving Smith more playing time. His effect on the court is actually quite good, and the opponent does not have a player who can compete with Smith. Giving Smith only such playing time means that his value is not reflected at all?
