The state is still in a mess! The Hawks new inside player was simply beaten by the Rockets in his first show?

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Atlanta Hawks 122-113 at home. After this game, the Rockets got a good start to the preseason, while the Hawks suffered a bad start to the preseason.

In this game, the performance of the Hawks' starting center Kristaps Porzingis was astonishing. Porzingis played for 15 minutes and 19 seconds, shooting 2 of 6, 0 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 4 free throws. He only scored 5 points, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 turnover and 5 fouls. The plus-minus value was as low as -13. Porzingis has a mediocre offensive touch, and his scoring and shooting abilities are unable to be used. The most critical thing is that Porzingis's performance on the defensive end was terrible. He did not show his due personal defensive ability at all. He did not even grab a rebound. He also failed to complete the task of interior defense. In a direct contest with Alperen Sengun, he was completely beaten by his opponent. Such a performance in his first preseason game will make everyone very worried about his status.

In the NBA regular season last season, Porzingis played a total of 42 times on behalf of his old club Boston Celtics in 82 games, averaging 28.8 minutes per game. The data were 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.5 blocks, 1.3 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. The shooting percentage was 48.3%, the three-point shooting percentage was 41.2%, and the free throw percentage was 80.9%. During the playoffs, Porzingis played a total of 11 times, averaging 21 minutes per game. He averaged 7.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. He also had 0.9 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 31.6% from the field, 15.4% from the three-point range, and 68.9% from the free throw line. In the previous Men's Basketball European Championships, Porzingis played a total of 6 times for the Latvian team, averaging 27.2 minutes per game, averaging 20.2 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.5 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game. He also had 3.5 turnovers and 3.3 fouls. He shot 46.8% from the field, 26.3% from the three-point range, and 81.2% from the free throw line.

In a previous multi-party trade, Porzingis was sent to the Hawks by the Celtics. The Hawks also have high hopes for Porzingis. They even paid a first-round pick to get Porzingis. However, Porzingis' condition in his debut was so bad, which made everyone very worried about his condition and even his current ability. Porzingis' performance in the playoffs last season was disaster-level. I thought that after a summer of adjustments, his condition could return to a normal level, but it seems that is not the case. His condition is still in a mess?
