Beijing time on December 12, the Rockets ushered in the away challenge to the Grizzlies game, before this game, the Rockets have lost to the Bucks and ended a 7-game winning streak, although for the Rockets to experience 15 consecutive defeats and then play 7 consecutive wins is far beyond expectations, but I believe the Rockets will still hope to avoid losing streaks against the Grizzlies.
Unfortunately, the Rockets lost 106-113 to the Grizzlies in this away game, which also allowed the Rockets to suffer another two consecutive losses and only have an 8-18 record so far this season.
For the Rockets in the rebuilding stage, the actual performance of the record is certainly not a big deal, compared to the young players in the team to show growth is more important. In the game against the Grizzlies, Substitute Alperen Shenkin once again showed his talent.
With only 23 minutes off the bench, Shin Kyung was able to get 15 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks on 5-of-8 shooting, which also contributed +3 plus or minus to the Rockets, and more than 5 shots on the free throw line.
In the game, Shen Jing can still have an efficient shooting performance, which can have another eye-catching performance in passing, after all, as a center player, Shen Jing's as many as 6 assists is a very rare performance even in the active league. Not only that, Shen Jing's 3 blocks on the defensive end are also one of the few eye-catching performances in this game for the Rockets.
For example, in the game, Alperen Shenjing easily scored a basket by assisting Wood without watching a back pass, and from the game footage, fans with God's vision could not even imagine how Shen Jing saw Wood who got the opportunity to get an empty position:
After the game, Rockets coach Stephen Silas also expressed praise for Shin Kyung's performance on the field in an interview, and he was very encouraged by the performance of Wood and Shin Kyung:
"It's good because it's something we can build around a team."
For the current Rockets, even if the team eventually loses the game, it is already a very good situation for a player like Alperen Shinkin to have such a good performance on the court.
