Josh Smith完成回歸休斯頓首秀

昨天快艇正式將Josh Smith送回休斯頓火箭,他們從航天城獲得了兩名海外球員Maarty Leunen和Serhiy Lischuk的簽約權並完成了整個交易。

而在今日火箭以102-98擊敗密爾沃基公鹿的比賽中,Josh Smith亦後備上場完成回歸休斯頓後的首場比賽。他打了21分鐘,10投1中,三分4中0,拿下2分6助攻5籃板2抄截3封阻的成績。
賽後談到自己的表現,Josh Smith表示:「能夠上場比賽很高興。」「跟這些傢伙在一起讓我更熟悉,他們讓我更投入比賽。」「火箭的球迷太棒了,我願意再說一次,火箭擁有全聯盟最好的球迷之一。能夠回到一群信任自己的隊友和教練身邊對我而言很好,我很感恩。」對於離開火箭這件事,Josh Smith更表明:「我犯了錯誤,希望隨著時間的流逝,以後能夠改正。」


而James Harden也大力稱贊了Josh Smith的表現:「這實在很棒。Josh擁有很高的天賦,他也足夠聰明去執行好Pick and roll的運轉,他能夠看到底角的空位球員。他好幾次傳球找到Trevor和其他球員而創造了很棒的出手空間,他做了很多數據方面體現不出來的東西,他的高效幫助了我們獲勝。」

引用"It feels good actually," Harden said. "Josh is very talented, but he's skilled and he's smart enough to know in the pick-and-roll he gets hit in the pocket, corner 3s are open. He found Trevor [Ariza], different guys for several times. He did the things that don't show up on the stat sheet but help teams win."
代理教練J.B. Bickerstaff則認為球隊的防守能量回來了:「你可以發現我們在進步,更多的防守能量。「我們有了不同的攻勢製造者,球也流動的更好了。」
引用"One of the things you'll begin to see as we go forward, the more involved everyone is, the more energy we have on the defensive end of the floor," interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. "We've got multiple playmakers on the floor. Everyone seems to touch it more, and they're willing to get off of it and move it. When the ball moves like that, we're hard to guard because we have so many weapons offensively."
