To Mawei, Uduka cut Green's possession, and the Rockets 14+9 interior new core overturned tactics
The Rockets' training camp was in full swing, and after Uduka joined the team, he gave the Rockets some players a side knock, wanting to play the ball, and couldn't rely on their own draft picks. Uduka gave Jaylen Green the first to get off the horse, and he said in an interview that Jaylen Green's ball holding will be reduced in the new season and that he must make good use of his skills. As a manager, he did not shy away from saying that the core of the team last season was a double-edged sword, which may motivate Green and cause contradictions.
In three seasons, the Rockets selected a total of 9 rookies, 3 of whom have been traded, and the remaining 6 rookies are expected to be Jaylen Green, Jabari Smith and No. 4 pick Amen Thompson, 2, 3, 4 picks, of which Jaylen Green has unlimited firing rights in the past two seasons, but the offensive efficiency is very low, last season with 17.9 shots, in exchange for an average of 22.1 points per game, shooting only 41%.
Jaylen Green will be cut in possession, the number of shots may be reduced to about 15, and the ball is reduced, and the numbers are not easy to brush. Uduka did not expect Green to become a big ball core, the new VanVleet is in charge, Green needs to increase the three-point shooting rate of the catch, cut more, strengthen the off-ball run, need Jaylen Green to adapt, change the role. For Green's evaluation, the outside world is polarized, some people believe that Green is very talented and needs a lot of ball exercise, and another part believes that Green is a data brush.
The Rockets have a player who is underestimated, Shen Jing on the inside, who averaged 14+9 data per game last season, and averaged only 10 shots per game, offensive efficiency is very high, can eat cake, high position, the footwork under the basket is also good, in the offseason, Shen Jing strengthened shooting training. The Rockets have high expectations for Shenjing, have always benchmarked Jokic, and if Shenjing can reach Jokic's 80%, he will be the new core, surpassing Jaylen Green and VanVleet.
After Uduka took office, there was some hint of an iron-fisted coach, saying that last season's Rockets, without tactics, speed and space, directly negated Silas, and there is no doubt that they will directly overturn tactics. Uduka will build a new Rockets, originally Harden may return to the Rockets, but Uduka directly refused, but also shows his determination to build the team. Jaylen Green is under pressure in the new season, Porter Jr. can't play, it doesn't make Green easier, and if VanVleet and Bullock play well, it's not impossible for Green to play as a substitute.
The Rockets' goal for the new season is to win more games and not give too many opportunities to young players, such as Whitmore, who although he is a rookie who fell down, but after all, he is the 20th overall pick and has to play later. The Rockets have signed a number of new signings this year and have also shown high emotional intelligence, and Holladay Jr. said he joined the Rockets for Uduka. Haven't officially coached a game yet, Uduka is already highly anticipated and trusted, and as the bottom team last season, there is a lot of room for improvement, and it needs to be played by the Rockets' players.
