After 8 consecutive losses, the Rockets ended the team's losing streak with a three-pointer from Porter Jr., and thought they would be a hit, but against the Lone Ranger, the Rockets' performance allowed fans to truly see the lower limit of this team. As for the team's fiasco, not only the fans, but even the No. 16 show Shin Kyoto, who was sidelined due to injury, said in an interview: "I feel sad and frustrated that I can't fight with the team on the pitch right now. ”
The reason why Shin Kyung feels sad and frustrated is because the team has been undefended in the past period of time, especially in the game against the Lone Ranger, the team's inner line was actually exploded in the absence of a tall interior line, and there was a big man Wood on the court, although he could brush up on the offensive end, but he could not withstand the points he lost in the interior defense. However, due to the sprained ankle, Shin Kyung will continue to be absent for a while, but he is now getting closer and closer to a comeback, saying in an interview with Shin Kyung: "I feel better than the first week after the injury. I'm also training to improve my mobility and get better, and we started recovery training two days ago. Action is more agile. It can be seen that his state is getting better and better.
In addition, due to injury recovery, Shin Kyung did not go with the team to the away game, but he was not idle during this time, during which he watched a lot of learning game videos, he said: "I think Theis is very good at analyzing the center of the opposing team. Usually, he is also coaching me and helping me analyze the objects I need to defend in the next game. I really wanted to meet Jokic and Embiid, but the injury frustrated me. From his words, it is clear that he has a desire to play, and it should be noted that in the previous games, Shen Jing has shown everyone his versatility, he not only has the dream footsteps of a traditional center forward, but also has a very good ability to dominate the ball, and he is also quite the defensive end.
Up to now, Shen Jing has played 35 games for the Rockets, averaging 9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game in 18 minutes, shooting 50% from the field and 31% from three-point range, the data is quite powerful, but he has not been able to get much playing time. In a previous interview, Shin Kyung shouted that the coaching staff himself has adapted to the rhythm of the NBA game and hopes to take on more responsibilities in the game, and in this interview he called the coaching team again, hoping to get more playing time. But judging from the current rotation of Silas, it is still difficult for Shin Kyung to carry the team's center flag, because there is also Wood, the biggest obstacle.
But to be honest, as a rebuilt team, the Rockets have no need to waste too much time on Wood, and he is the kind of player who has a side effect on the team's locker room and on the court, and with Shin Kyung playing such a performance, Stone should start trading as soon as possible, dispose of Wood, and don't let him become an obstacle to the growth of the team's future interior cornerstone.
