The young talent of the Rockets is no stranger to this good passage. In the four successes, he averaged 21 points at 52% shooting success and 57% 3-point shooting, and his match against the Lakers was remarkable. “I tried to be aggressive, knowing when I needed to take the shots”he delivers, always to the Houston Chronicle.

Aggressive, liberated, efficient
In confidence, and for artistic note, he made two great penetrations, left hand, in the last seconds of the third quarter.
“Look at his stats. He shoots well from 3-point range. Except for the free throws, he was excellent”points out Ime Udoka, facing 1/4 of his player on the line. “He looks for the right positions, he attacks and knows that he has teammates on the outside, so the circle is not too protected. He can thus attack. »
Proof that he has gained in efficiency, in this winning streak, Jalen Green only needs 12.5 shots attempted per game to score 21 points. Last season, he needed 18 shots to score 22 points.
“At the beginning, he integrated, like the others, to find his positions. He was thinking, continues his coach. “Now he plays more liberated and reads situations better. He is aggressive, makes the right reads and even on defense he has improved. I’m happy with what he’s doing. We need him to be an aggressive scorer. »
