6:58am, 10 May 2025【Basketball】

At present, in the first round of the league, all four games in the East have won and lost. Four teams, Cavaliers, Pacers, Knicks and Celtics, successfully advanced, while only two teams in the West have advanced in the first round, namely the Thunder and the Timberwolves.

In the remaining series in the first round, the Nuggets and the Clippers tied 3:3, and both sides faced a tiebreak battle. The Rockets are currently behind the Warriors with a score of 2:3.

The Rockets want to win the G6 or win two games in a row to reverse the Warriors, which is closely related to Jaylen Green's performance. If Shin Kyung can determine the overall lower limit of the Rockets, then Jaylen Green is definitely a player who can increase the upper limit of the Rockets.

So, how can Jaylen Green perform well? In addition to Jaylen Green himself in good physical condition, what other adjustments and changes can Uduka make on both offense and defense?

From the defensive end, Uduka will definitely not let Jaylen Green play against the opponent's arrow players, especially Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry.

According to Uduka's original matchup, Amen Thompson vs Curry, Dillon Brooks vs Jimmy Butler, the two sets of matchups have not changed in the entire series.

Uduka's counterattack adjustments were mainly adjusted by other players. In the series, Shen Jing faced too many players. When Moody's starting stage, Shen Jing vs. Moody's starting stage, Shen Jing vs. Moody's not in the starting stage, Shen Jing VS Zhu Meng Green, when Post started, Shen Jing VS Post, Shen Jing is the point that Uduka needs to hide to avoid being named by Curry.

Rockets faced against Mengmeng Green, Jaylen Green faced against Pojemsky, Jaylen Green and VanVleet also faced against Hield.

In this round of series, Moody was a fixed starter in the first two games, and in the last two games, Hilde was a fixed starter, but in terms of the initial matchup arrangement and planning, Uduka was indeed taking care of Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung.

Therefore, in the next two games, Uduka will definitely allow Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung to play against the players with the lowest defensive pressure on the Warriors. Jaylen Green's future players are likely to be one of Pojmsky and Hild, allowing Jaylen Green to reduce consumption from the defensive end, thereby allowing Jaylen Green to retain more physical fitness on the offensive end.

From the offensive end, if Jaylen Green wants to perform efficiently, Uduka will most likely try to create conditions and space that are conducive to play.

Starting from G2 to G5, basically at the beginning of each game, Uduka designed Jaylen Green to take the ball to participate in the main attack, allowing Jaylen Green to enter the state earlier. It is often that Shin Kyung did a pick-and-roll for Jaylen Green at the high position, and then passed the ball to Jaylen Green with his hand, so that Jaylen Green could get the space and opportunity to attack after receiving the ball.

Except for G2, Jaylen Green was well restricted by the Warriors in other games. On the one hand, the Warriors strictly prevent Jaylen Green from going to the left and let Jaylen Green go to the right. They were very uncomfortable with the left-handed Jaylen Green. When Jaylen Green broke through to the inside, the Warriors' defense contracted and the siege of Jaylen Green's offense made Jaylen Green not adaptable. Jaylen Green could not break the deadlock in the face of such a defense. Many times, the pass was intercepted by the Warriors, and it was easy to be played and switched by the opponent's offense.

At present, Jaylen Green's difficulty and problem are that she cannot beat Dream Chasing Green. Therefore, Shin Kyung and Jaylen Green often exchange for Dream Chasing Green for Pick-and-roll, but the effect is not good. Jaylen Green also tried to play Curry, but judging from the series, the effect is also very bad.

From the current perspective, in the Warriors' starting lineup, Jaylen Green seems to be able to surpass Hilde through speed, while in the substitute connection, Post and Moody, Jaylen Green can target it.

From the offensive end, the Rockets need to play pick-and-roll frequently, allowing Jaylen Green to play against Hilde, and allowing Jaylen Green to find the state and rhythm of the offensive.

From the space perspective, when the Rockets slid into the double tower or three highs, Jaylen Green basically has no room for breaking through with the ball. During the double tower or three highs, try not to match Jaylen Green with such a lineup, especially when Jaylen Green feels bad.

When Jaylen Green felt good on the outside, Udu was playing single center, especially during Adams's on-court, Adams' pick-and-roll was very solid, and the offensive rebounds were also excellent. It could create more offensive space for Jaylen Green and attract more defensive attention, making Jaylen Green's defense easier on the outside.

From the current perspective, the Warriors have found the password to limit Jaylen Green. The Jaylen Green's presence in the last few games of the series was very low, which prompted the Rockets' overall star level and projection space to be very problematic. All G5 players in the series exploded, but Jaylen Green's presence is still sluggish. Uduka needs to find a way to allow Jaylen Green to continue to perform well, which is the key to the Rockets' want to win.
