Live Bar, October 25 news Rockets beat Jazz 114-108 at home today, ushering in the first victory of the season. After the game, the Rockets coach Silas talked about the team’s rookie young Jabari Smith in an interview, and the latter became the starting center.
“I think little Jamari’s shooting choice is really good. He didn’t force him to shoot. He also did a good job on the defensive end. He played number 5, set up our defense, and then hit multiple three-point goals. I am very satisfied with the continuous free throws at critical moments.” Silas said, “letting little Jabari play center will make our lineup more standard. We also hope that he can get some opportunities to shoot and jump shots after blocking and dismantling, just like what we saw when he played the center in the first three games, so I want to see him play like this.”
Little Jamari Smith played for 34 minutes in this game, with 6 out of 10 shots, 3 out of 5 out of 3 points, 6 out of 6 free throws, contributing 21 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 cap.
It is worth mentioning that the jazz performed foul strategy on little Jamari-Smith at the last moment, but little Jamari steadily received 4 penalties and scored more than 20 points for the first time, helping the team lock in the victory.
