28-point defeat! 4 consecutive losses, NBA focus game: 7 Rockets players in double figures, the weakest link has a stunning explosion

The NBA regular season continues. The Rockets, who have lost both games, sit at home against the Nets, who are also winless.

Throughout the game, the Rockets firmly took the initiative. The two controversial guards Ethan and Shepard broke out and became the key to the team's lead. The Nets have just experienced a contest with the Spurs, and their physical fitness and condition are not ideal. At the end of the game, the Nets defeated the Rockets by 28 points 109:137.

At the beginning of the first quarter, both sides felt very good on the offensive end. Mann almost hit every shot. Durant and Shen Jing were also online, and the battle continued until 16 draws. After the timeout, the Rockets increased their intensity on the defensive end and took advantage of the situation to hit a 6:0 wave, slightly establishing their advantage. The Nets had almost no tactical coordination. After the attack reached halftime, they passed the ball no more than three times before taking direct shots from the outside. Ethan and Shepard scored three three-pointers in a row. At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets established a 17-point advantage!

Fighting again in the second quarter, the Rockets maintained a 20-point advantage. The Nets still use crazy outside shooting to make up for their awkward shooting percentage. Ethan became the Rockets' top offensive spearhead, while the Nets used three consecutive three-pointers to narrow the point difference to 10 points. Uduka quickly requested a timeout and came back from the timeout. Shen Jing used the containment to assist Jabari and hit a three-pointer. Durant was in a sluggish state and received consecutive fouls in a short period of time. At the end of the half, the Rockets led by 10 points.

Throughout the first half, perhaps due to the mental exhaustion of the first two games, the Rockets' main players did not feel very good on the offensive end. On the other hand, Ethan, who has always been controversial, has become the team's absolute strength on the offensive end. He can almost hit three-pointers from the outside with his bare hands, and scored 20 points in the half. Although the Nets were once 20 points behind, they relied on a strong three-point shooting in the second quarter to narrow the point difference to 7 points. Mann and Porter repeatedly pulled the team out of trouble.

Although the Rockets still hold the score advantage, the halftime period is very important for the team. In the second half, the Nets will definitely focus on Eason's defense. It will be crucial for Shen Jing and Durant to regain their form.

Back in the second half, Shen Jing hit from the outside, Okogie made a sneak dunk, and the Nets quickly called a timeout. After the timeout, the Nets still felt cold. Durant beat four against one at 2+1 under the basket. The Rockets once again opened the point difference to more than 20 points. The three-pointers that the Nets relied on for survival in the second quarter were fully restricted. Sharp continued to use breakthroughs to help the team score with difficulty. After three quarters, the Nets trailed by 26 points, and the game was basically a done deal.

In the final quarter, due to the large point difference, the Rockets' defensive intensity dropped, and the Nets' offensive end finally picked up. Sheppard hit two consecutive three-pointers from the top of the arc, and the point difference was once close to 30 points. The two teams replaced their main players and allowed more substitutes and young players to play.

Except for using their fiery outside touch to maintain a stalemate in the second quarter, they were basically suppressed by the Rockets at other times. The bitter defeat of 28 points and 4 consecutive losses is frustrating.

As for the Rockets, although the team achieved a big victory, Durant and Shen Jing performed quite well. The important thing is that Ethan and Shepard found their offensive touch, and the two scored 37 points together. In addition, another main defender Amen also performed well.
