The performance in the first show was perfect! Did the Rockets abandon the player to join the Suns? Did he undergo a transformation or did he eat dumplings?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Phoenix Suns, playing at home, successfully defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 115-102. After this game, the Suns' record improved to 4 wins and 5 losses, and their ranking was overtaken by the Clippers and many teams to rank 9th in the Western Conference; while the Clippers, who had suffered three consecutive losses, had a record of 3 wins and 5 losses, and their ranking was surpassed by many teams and fell to 12th in the Western Conference.

In this game, Jalen Green, the Suns' new starting backcourt player who returned from injury, finally made his debut with the team. His performance in his debut was perfect. Green played for 22 minutes and 58 seconds, shooting 10 of 20, 6 of 13 from beyond the three-point line, and 3 of 5 free throws. He scored a game-high 29 points, plus 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. He also had 2 turnovers and 1 foul. His plus-minus reached a game-high +30. Although Green's playing time is strictly limited, he is simply unstoppable on the offensive end. He has shown comprehensive scoring ability, he can attack the opponent's inside, and he also has quite good outside shooting ability. In addition, his enthusiasm and practical effect on the defensive end are also quite outstanding, and he has also proved that he is a good defender. At least in this game, Green played a both offensive and defensive performance. His influence on the game is indeed amazing. This is also an important factor in the team's ability to achieve such a big victory.

In the NBA regular season last season, Green played all 82 games on behalf of his old club, the Houston Rockets. In an average of 32.9 minutes per game, Green averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks, as well as 2.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 42.3% from the field, 35.4% from the three-point range, and 81.3% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Green played a total of 7 times, averaging 31.3 minutes per game. He averaged 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. He shot 37.2% from the field, 29.5% from the three-point range, and 66.7% from the free throw line. Due to injuries, Green missed the preseason and the first 8 games of the regular season.

Although Green is the second overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, his performance in the NBA has not made substantial progress. His offensive efficiency is very average, his passing and organizational skills have not improved, and his contribution on the defensive end has been very limited. And in the playoffs last season, he even performed at a disaster level, which to a large extent directly led to the Rockets being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Therefore, in the trade involving Kevin Durant this summer, Green was also sent to the Suns by the Rockets. Unexpectedly, in his first game with the Suns, Green performed at a phenomenal level, which made everyone feel a little incredible. Next, we can also see whether Green has made great progress in ability, or is this game just an occasional outburst?
