In qualifying for the NBA Summer League, Choi's Portland
pioneer
Against Houston.
rockets
The game was a good one. Despite Choi leaving early to return home with a calf injury and not being able to take part in the game, and the Rockets' Whitmore and Shepherd confirming in quick succession that they will not play, the game was still exciting.
In the first quarter, the Rockets, after starting slightly behind, sent a wave of 19-10 offense from the back to seize the initiative. However, in the second quarter, the Rockets suddenly lost their offensive feeling, scoring only 13 points in a single quarter, and the poor offensive performance directly gave up the initiative. Blazer's wunderkind Chandler bagged the team's last 10 points, and the Blazers rallied with an 18-4 run to go into the second half with 8 points.
At the start of the second half, the Rockets found their way back on the offensive end, but the defensive problems remained serious. The Blazers attacked 33 points in a single quarter, extending the lead to double digits. In the last quarter, the rocket once chased to only 3 points, but could not go further, and finally missed the chance to tie the game with a three-point shot at the reading stage. In the end, the Blazers narrowly edged out the Rockets and took the game.
It was a game in which the Blazers showed tenacity, especially in key moments, that led them to victory.
