On December 16, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in the earliest game that ended, the Rockets lost miserably to the Cavaliers on the road and did not win consecutively. After the last game reversal of the Eagles, this game the Rockets are also a number of main players missed the game, including Wood, Gordon and other main players, so this also has a relatively large impact on the strength of the Rockets, which also makes them unable to withstand the Cavaliers' attack after the opening, just the Cavaliers' recent game state is very good, so this game also lost the suspense of the game early.
In this fiasco, the biggest surprise on the Rockets may be their No. 16 show Shen Jing this year. As an important rotation player for the Rockets in this game, coach Lucas still gave him more opportunities to play later, which also allowed him to get more opportunities to show himself, although the team as a whole did not play well, but Shen Jing was indeed reused. We can see the hint from some of the team's tactics, because if you look at it, you can see that many of the Rockets' tactical initiations are initiated by Shen Jing at the top of the arc, which is the best affirmation for a rookie.
Shen Jing played 25 minutes in this game, 7 of 14 shots, 19 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and the performance was very comprehensive. In fact, it is not surprising that Shen Jing has cut this comprehensive data now, first, because Shen Jing still has a relatively high tactical position in the team, and second, Shen Jing's overall skills are very good, and he also has an excellent ball quotient, which also allows him to make achievements in assists and scoring. Now what he needs to improve most may be his lower limb strength and shooting ability, if Shen Jing has the ability to shoot outside, then I believe his later development will be better.
In the last few games, we have actually seen the progress of Shen Jing, from the beginning of the season to the beginning of the season to play more and more mature, Shen Jing has indeed shown his sophistication beyond his own age, and the European insider is slowly proving himself and proving that the Rockets' vision is not wrong. Of course, there are still many places he needs to improve now, but he has all the conditions to become a good interior, of course, the most important thing is Coach Silas. Silas is an attacking master, so Shen Jing will be very comfortable playing under him, and the progress will be faster, and we also expect Shen Jing to play better in the later stages.
