Live broadcast, January 14th news the Rockets lost to the Kings again on the road today (114-139) and suffered a nine-position defeat. After the game, Rockets coach Silas was interviewed by the media.
The Rockets were able to compete with the Kings in the first half, but they crashed in the third quarter, and the 26-43 single quarter was at a disadvantage. When talking about the power failure of our team, Silas said: “When adversity comes, I tell the team members that we must do it together (defense). Before we really understand this, we will struggle.”
Speaking of the Kings, Silas continued: “They are a very good team and they are really great. Little Sabonis attacked us. Obviously, it is difficult for us to match. When we are one-on-one with him, he can score by himself, and when we pinch him, he will pass the ball to the three-point shooter. Therefore, when you can’t bag clip, and you can’t defend alone, it becomes very difficult. Then, obviously, their shooters can find the feel. When you can’t limit the main players of the opponent, it is very difficult to make adjustments.”
The Rockets will continue their road trip next, fighting with the Clippers and the Lakers in Los Angeles, and these two games are back to back.
