Silas talks about helping Smith create more opportunities: the team wants to play fast-paced & he wants to grab the offensive board
Live broadcast, November 15 -the Rockets lost 106 to 122 at home to the Clippers in an NBA regular season that ended today. After the game, coach Silas was interviewed by the media.
Silas talked about the performance of little Jabari Smith, saying that it was difficult for them to let Smith participate in the half-time attack today because the Clippers relieve a garrison a lot on the defensive end.
In today’s game, Smith played 28 minutes and 31 seconds, and scored 7 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assists and 3 steals in 6 shots and 2 shots.
Silas also talked about ways to help Smith get more opportunities. He pointed out three:
1. Push the rhythm and hit the ball to the inside line, so that you can make some breakthrough and match the ball;
2. Push the rhythm, and the ball holder follows him forward, so that he can move according to his own rhythm;
3. He needs to perform in grabbing offensive rebounds.
