In this year's draft, the Houston Rockets are undoubtedly the biggest winners, in this draft that can be compared to the 03 golden generation, they have picked 4 first-round picks at once, in addition to the list of Jaylen Green, and in the 16th, 23rd and 24th picks respectively, Alperen Shenjing, UsmanGaruba and Josh Christopher, but as far as the current situation is concerned, Shen Jing may be the biggest treasure gained by the Rockets in this draft. If it weren't for the absence of Jaylen Green and Porter, and the fact that new signing Theis didn't play the expected performance, Rockets coach Silas would have really let the all-around big man who shined in the summer league be wasted on the bench.
Shen Jing, who is 2 meters tall and weighs 108 KG, has a standard No. 4 figure, and in the Rockets, a team that advocates playing a small lineup, he can also be perfectly qualified for the heavy responsibility of the No. 5 position, but Silas is superstitious to Wood with a slight "brush" attribute, and is not willing to give Shen Jing too many opportunities, but the big man can still help the Rockets contribute with practical actions in a limited time, and in the last game against the Bucks, Shen Jing scored 15 points and 5 rebounds in only 16 minutes of playing time. He almost helped the Rockets win, and the Bucks core alphabet brother also praised Shen Jing after the game: "He is a great player, and the sky is his limit." ”
In the latest game between the Rockets and the Grizzlies, Shin Kyung also continued his excellent performance, in the 22 minutes of playing time, 15 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists on 8 shooting, showing his all-round skills at a glance, but unfortunately the Rockets still failed to successfully reverse in the final quarter, and finally swallowed two consecutive defeats 106-113. Although it is currently ranked second to last in the West with a record of 8 wins and 18 losses, it can go from a wave of 15 consecutive defeats to 7 consecutive wins in one fell swoop, breaking the historical record of the four major leagues in North America, and the Rockets have indeed once again shown the world their "Texas undead" tenacity.
In the last 5 games, Shen Jing in only 17.7 minutes of playing time, can hand over an all-around data sheet of 11.8 points, 4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1 block, and the plus-minus value is as high as +4.8, the performance is indeed much better than Wood, who cares more about personal data, but he has never been favored by Silas, And Shen Jing can not become the "man" who dominates the team's victory and defeat at key moments, and as a rookie, he must also undergo such a test, the reality of the NBA is like this, Veterans with rich experience will always be more favored by the coaching staff than a fledgling rookie. As for Shen Jing, he had to let himself accept such unfair treatment, from a small shrimp rice at the grassroots level, he slowly let himself grow up.
