NBA In the Western Conference struggle Houston Rockets managed to defeat the visiting Denver Nuggets with a score of 105-86.
The star of the match was our national player, who played with 21 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Alperen Şengünwas.
Answering the questions of the press at the end of the match, Alperen first talked about defending Jokic alone, without any help:
That was our match plan: He should score. I think he plays more efficiently when he feeds his teammates. We made our match plan accordingly and held them to 86 points, great for us.
In addition to Alperen, young stars such as Jalen Green and Jabari Smith also performed very well for the Rockets. Alperen spoke on this subject:
We are learning a lot. Jabari plays great, helps the team a lot. He is good both in defense and attack, and can also shoot. So is Jalen. They constantly put double pressure on him. Last year he had problems with turnover, but this year he is getting out of these situations and making passes. This is great for us too. Everyone is learning something.
He was asked whether there was a hint of Dirk Nowitzki in the one-footed shots that Alperen added to his skill set this season:
I also watched Dirk Nowitzki a lot. I worked with a Serbian coach in Turkey during the summer. I practiced that shot almost all summer. I feel more comfortable throwing now. It’s becoming more and more dangerous.
