In the four games of the new season, Martin only got 20 minutes of playing time. In the first game against the Timberwolves, he came off the bench for 9 minutes and scored 7 points on 3 of 4 shots. In the second game against Thunder, he came off the bench for 6 minutes. There was no performance except one assist and one foul. In the third game, I didn't get a chance to play against the Green Army. In the fourth game, the lone ranger got five minutes to play, free throw 1 point, plus two rebounds.
As can be seen from the above playing time, Martin has fallen out of Silas' core rotation, but the result is quite puzzling. Although Martin Jr. was only the runner-up, his performance last season was quite good, mainly due to the development of previous league experience. Later, due to injury, Martin gradually entered the team rotation. As a newcomer, he does have many problems on the court, such as the lack of foul control, such as the choice of defense needs to be improved, such as his three-pointer has obvious shortcomings. However, with the increase of the number of competitions, Ding Xiao's performance in the competition has become more and more mature. Last season, he played 45 games for the Rockets, including 8 in the starting lineup. In less than 24 minutes, he can get 9.3 points, 5.4 rebounds 1. 1 assists, including 5 1.2% shooting percentage and 36.5% three-point shooting percentage.
As a season to train young players, I never thought Silas would put Martin in the rotation. You know, Martin's data performance last season was even better than Wiseman's, and it was the second show of the Warriors' dedicated training. Although there is still a slight lack of starting ability, Martin is definitely a good choice in the third and fourth positions of the bench. In previous games, Silas always put House in the position of backup striker, but in fact, in the game, House not only failed to contribute to the team, but also held the team back because of his poor shooting state. Many fans questioned why he didn't give House playing time to Martin Jr., but Silas didn't seem to abandon House and use Martin Jr.
To tell the truth, it's a pity that Silas abandoned the son of the top scholar like this. After all, he was also bought by the rocket management. At the age of 265,438+0, he also showed extraordinary talent, which coincided with the team's reconstruction cycle. House will miss the next game due to injury. I hope Silas can give him more playing time. ...
