If you dare to shoot, you can make a real shot! Should the Rockets keep the substitute point guard in the rotation lineup in G7?

Basketball

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors who played at home 115-107. After this game, the Rockets, who won two consecutive games, have tied the total score of the series to 3-3. Next, both sides will return to Houston to prepare for the G7 game. This tiebreak battle will also determine who can enter the Western Conference semi-finals.

In this game, Rockets' substitute point guard Aaron Holiday also got the opportunity to enter the rotation lineup. Holiday played 5 minutes and 34 seconds in the game, made 1 of 2 shots and 1 of 1 from outside the three-point line, scored 3 points and 1 rebound, and had fouls, with a plus-minus value of -8. Holiday doesn't play much, but he also seized the opportunity and hit a three-pointer, helping the team stabilize the situation in the game connection stage. Moreover, judging from the game trend, the importance of this three-pointer is actually very prominent. Holiday's performance on the defensive end was pretty good, and there were no problems. Overall, Holiday also completed his tasks well and played his value. He also made his own contribution to the team's victory. The plus or negative value of -8 is actually caused by the team's poor performance in the third team, and it has nothing to do with Holiday's own performance.

In the NBA regular season this season, Holiday made a total of 62 appearances in 82 games, averaging 12.8 minutes per game, averaging 5.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage was 43.7%, three-point shooting percentage was 39.8%, and free throw shooting percentage was 82.9%. In the playoffs, Holiday made 3 appearances in the first 6 games, averaging 9 minutes per game, with averaging 4 points, 0.7 rebounds and 1 assist, and 0.3 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage was 40%, his three-point shooting percentage was 40%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 50%.

Holiday is certainly not a player with outstanding abilities. His scoring ability is limited, his passing and organizational abilities are average, and due to his figure, his contribution to the defensive end is not particularly outstanding. However, one thing is certain. Holiday is a very reliable pitcher. He can maintain a good outside shooting percentage while playing time is not very stable. He is also very determined and decisive on the court. He is also a player who can perform in such a big game. Judging from the situation in previous games, the shooting stability of several Rockets' outside players is not ideal, especially Jalen Green, who has never been able to find the feel in recent games. The Rockets need to have a stable threat of outside shooting during the game connection stage to help the team open up space, and Holiday did this. When it comes to G7, should the Rockets continue to let him stay in the rotation lineup?
