The Rockets' No. 16 show Shen Jing, only 19 years old, has more and more people optimistic about his future. On December 17, Beijing time, The Athletic reported on Shen Jing's recent situation, and his close assistant coach Lucas often gave Shen Jing a small stove, and Rockets legend Olajuwon also decided to teach this rookie some footsteps.
The day after Thanksgiving, Shin Kyung did not leave after attending regular training. He knew there was still training waiting for him. "Come on, bastard," Shin Kyung shouted at lucas, the assistant instructor on the side. In Shen Jing's words, the relationship between the two of them was like father and son. Lucas is helping Shin Kyung keep improving.
Lucas has a training subject called "6 Seconds," and he requires players to hit a certain number of three-pointers in five positions, each with at least a 50 percent shooting percentage, and if that position is not reached, he has to start again. Once Shen Jing did not meet the standard, he did not look at Lucas and ran directly back to the starting point to start again.
Shen Jing is like a sponge, constantly drawing nutrients from its surroundings. He also revealed that he would love to learn something from Olajuwon. Orajuwon personally confirmed, "I'll teach you some footsteps." Hearing this promise, Shin Kyung was excited: "That will help me very much, I am waiting for him." ”
The Athletic lists Shen Jing's five offensive efficiencies in the league. Shin Kyung's 22.6 percent offense is back-to-back offense, and he scores 1.017 points per round on backhand, outperforming 80 percent of the league's players. His ability to cut in and score is also good, scoring 1.25 points per game, which is also better than 80% of the players in the league. In addition, his single score was 1.043 points per round, outperforming 67% of players, and blocking scores were 1.182 points per round, outperforming 65% of players. The thing that needs the most improvement is the projection, which has only 0.795 points per round, which is only 19% of the players.
In addition to his personal offense, Shin Kyung's strategy and passing are also very spiritual. Many fans and media have compared him with Jokic, and some media have posted a horizontal comparison of Shen Jing and Jokic's rookie season data per 36 minutes. The results showed that this season's Shen Jing was 18.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.4 blocks per 36 minutes, and Jokic's rookie season had 16.5 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per 36 minutes, except for rebounds, Shen Jing's other 36 minutes data was better than Jokic's in the same period.
The Bucks' two-time MVP alphabet brother also praised the young man after playing with Shin Kyung: "The sky is his limit." "Are you optimistic about the future of Shenjing?"
