Rockets rookie center Alperen Shinjing played a double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds in the last game, and according to the US media Kelly Iko, Shen Jing said in an interview that he hopes to work with big dream Olajuwon:
"I watched a lot of his footsteps when I was in Turkey and it helped me a lot, but I still want to work with Olajuwon to solve some problems and we will work together in the future and it will be good for me."
Since retiring in 2002, Olajuwon has coached big-name players including Kobe, James, Jr. and Howard to improve their low-post footsteps. Considering that Shin Kyung is a very promising inside star in the Rockets' rebuilding phase, if he can continue to grow under the guidance of Olajuwon, this will undoubtedly be what the Rockets hope to see.
On the other hand, Rockets head coach Stephen Silas had to miss due to physical discomfort in the last game against the Cavaliers, and he is expected to be able to re-coach the team in the Rockets' game against the Knicks on December 17, Beijing time:
Silas was treated for dehydration during the game, but he is currently recovering well and has returned to the team.
Finally, it should be discussed that the Rockets still face the absence of players such as Jaylen Green, Kevin Porter Jr. and Danuel House Jr. in the game against the Knicks on December 17, Beijing time, and Christian Wood is in a state of doubt:
The Rockets are a team in the rebuilding phase, and even if they don't care so much about the performance of the season, the team will still want players like Jaylen Green, Kevin Porter Jr. and Wood to stay healthy and perform on the court.
