Stone: A series cannot define a player, we are not able to perform as we want

May 7th Rockets general manager Stone talked about the team's situation at the press conference at the end of the season.

"A playoff series cannot define a player," Stone said.

In the entire series, Rockets coach Uduka repeatedly mentioned that Jaylen Green's performance decline was largely because the Warriors focused on him on the defensive end, and Jaylen Green also said that he needed to play more aggressively to deal with this targeted defense.

Stone revealed that he will take this factor into account when evaluating Jaylen Green's playoff performance against a long season.

"Jaylen Green didn't play the series he wanted, or we didn't and didn't play the series, but I think it's a bit like a double-edged sword in evaluating it, because the opponent's goal at the beginning of the series was to limit him, which is obvious," Stone said.

"But our offense is not around any player, not Shin Kyung, not Jaylen Green, not Amen or Van Villet. So, if your goal is to limit one of our players, in theory, what should happen is that other players can punish the opponent's defensive strategy. Uduka often tells the players that they should take the initiative to attract double team members: attract double team players to pass the ball to their open teammates, and act as that 'bait'. So, you know, in some games we did the punishment of opponents, in some games we didn't, and in one game we ended up getting good on-field space and punished the opponent's defense with Jaylen Green's participation."
