On February 13th, there was a new face on the Rockets' training ground today, and he was Fernando, the center who was sent to the Rockets two days ago. This is also Fernando's first appearance in the Space City. What does newcomer Fernando, who made his debut and is very active, think about joining the Rockets? Let's hear what he had to say. After talking about being traded to the Rockets, Fernando could not hide his excitement, he said: "I am very happy, I can't wait to be here before, the agent asked me when to go, I said the sooner the better. ”
Fernando went on to say that joining the Rockets is an opportunity for him, the Rockets have a lot of great young players, and for him as a young man, it will be enjoyed to get a chance to play here. He was so excited about coming to the city of Houston that he couldn't wait. In fact, it seems that Fernando is tall and strong, but in fact he is a very delicate player.
Why? Because Fernando's words made the Rockets very "useful", and before they officially participated in the game for the Rockets, Fernando expressed his love for the Rockets and expressed his appreciation for the city of Houston, which came from a 23-year-old young man, which is not simple. Leaving aside Fernando's personal strength, in terms of emotional intelligence alone, Fernando seems to be much higher than the Rockets' rookie Jaylen Green.
Remember that when Jaylen Green was just selected by the Rockets, he boasted about Haikou, saying that he not only wanted to become an All-Star, but also the best rookie, and even wanted to be selected for the best defensive team. But the truth also hit Jaylen Green in the face, and although Green is not particularly bad today, compared with rookie players such as Barnes and Mobley, Jaylen Green has fallen into the inferior position without controversy.
But Fernando still has something to say, didn't he say that there are a lot of young players in the Rockets, and he also wants to get a chance to play here, in other words, 23-year-old Fernando is not afraid to compete with young players, after all, he is also one of the young players, and the 23-year-old has the confidence to compete with Shen Jing, Wood, Garupa, the Rockets' inside players.
Although the offensive technique is not as good as Wood, the passing and vision are not as good as Shen Jing, but Fernando has his own advantages, that is, strength, can grab rebounds and protect the basket, and the speed of movement is not bad. Many blue-collar centers can get a foothold in the NBA, and it is with these skills that Fernando also wants to compete for a position with the Rockets and gain a foothold here.
Because in Boston, Fernando basically did not have a chance to play, but when he first came to the Rockets, he said that he could get a chance to play here, which was obviously prepared. After all, the difficulty of competition in the Rockets is far lower than that of his previous home team. In fact, Fernando showed some talent in the Atlanta Hawks in his rookie season, but the arrival of players such as Capela completely lost Fernando's position. Now that he has joined the Rockets, which are not strong but have a lot of opportunities to play, whether Fernando can gain a foothold here depends on his performance in the next 27 regular season games.
