Freelance writer Zhang Jiawei wrote an analysis: "Tell me more about Castle.

"Today, he had 14 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals, as well as a team-high 5 goals.

"Today, there were 6 assists in the fourth quarter, two offensive rebounds, one assist, and one assist for a long shot: He knew he had no ball difference, so he used a lot of off-ball moves to disrupt the Rockets' rotation.

" Luka made 2 of 10 in the last game when Castle defended Luka, and 1 of 6 in the previous defense against Booker: this season, Castle's opponents shot 36%.

"This season, he averaged 19 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals per game, with a team-high true shooting percentage of 62% (Wenban 60%). The shortcomings are 29% three-point rate (made up for by air cuts) and 5 turnovers (being forced to play as the main point).

"But he used air cuts, cutting balls and single defense to make up for all mistakes: 5 turnovers per game, but he averaged 4.9 cuts per game, fourth in the league.
