However, due to the shortage of house staff, the team even adopted a 6-7-person rotation system. G3 tried Mackler Mo, but House is the most trusted player of De Shuai. After G3, Shao Wei missed House, but it is unlikely that House G4 will return. Fortunately, Covington was able to fight again. After all, as the tallest player on the field, he is the most important system in the Rockets' five small systems, and his presence makes the Lakers afraid to shrink inside.
On the Lakers side, the injuries of McKee and Witsey are not serious, and McKee can continue to go into battle. Because of the high-intensity competition, James and Brother Thick Eyebrows also have some injury crises. It is reported that James' right calf contusion does not affect James' explosive power. After Brother Thick Eyebrows collided with Covernton, the problem of old back injury reappeared, but it was not serious. So in the next personnel rotation, the Lakers have an advantage over the Rockets.

In the last G3, the Rockets lost to the Lakers by 102- 1 12, and the score came to 1-2! At present, the Rockets have lost two games to the Lakers, and team morale will definitely be affected. Of course, they also need to make some adjustments to win the rest of the game. Before G4 started, the Rockets got good news and bad news, that is, Covernton passed the concussion test or came back in G4, and House had a high probability of continuing to be absent.
At the last moment of G3, Covernton accidentally bumped into Davis' shoulder when trying to grab the ball, causing nose bleeding, and then left early. As can be seen from the video playback, Covernton was seriously injured. After the treatment of the team doctor, there is still no hemostasis. Fortunately, earlier today, Covington underwent a concussion test, and the results showed that it was nothing serious. He himself said in an interview: "I passed the test with excellent results", which shows that Covington is not in a good state now.
It is worth mentioning that Covernton not only passed the concussion test, but also participated in the team's complete training today, and he is completely fit to play. After the game, D 'Antoni also said in an interview: "Covernton is fine, he will come back in G4." Covernton is the only tall player in the Rockets now. The team needs him to limit the inside of the Lakers, and his shooting and three-pointers will also cause some danger to the Lakers. His return will be good news for the Rockets.
But there is another person in the Rockets who will be even more worrying, and that is House. Before G3, House missed the game for personal reasons. According to coach D 'Antoni, House's personal affairs will be more complicated. I wonder if he will return. It means that House is likely to miss the next G4. If House G4 can't return, the number of rotations of De Shuai will still be around 6-7, which will make the main players face greater physical pressure!
