18 points on both battlefields! The Rockets picked up the top show, self-detonated the ball true cause, and Uduka held the instruction manual
Two wins in a row in preseason! The appearance of the Houston Rockets has changed a lot, although Uduka has helped a lot, but in the face of the NBA league, innate efforts and acquired are inseparable, the Rockets do not lack potential, and even after 3 years of rottenness, bite the bullet and frankly say to the outside world that the goal of the "playoffs", which is really unbelievable for the Rockets who have only won 59 games in the past three regular seasons, but Uduka does not believe in evil.
In the offseason, with the addition of Amen and Whitmore, the Rockets quickly filled the poor line through a series of operations, strengthening the team's weak point guard and experience problems, which made the prospects of this youth army more exciting; For Uduka, Celtic have proven their ability, how to twist this young man into a rope, which will determine the final result of the new season; For Jabari Smith, he seized the opportunity.
Many people are not optimistic about Smith's prospects, first entering the league's first season, because of insufficient physical confrontation, no confidence in the inside singles, can only rely on the outside to finish, fortunately he still has defense; Compared to Banchero, Smith's defense became the only appearance of the fledgling, falling into a parallel cargo situation. As the saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and after three seasons, Smith has completed a qualitative change, from the summer league to this season's preseason, Smith's performance is completely like two.
At the moment, Smith's explosive cause began with the three-point shootout Blazers, but we all know that Smith is a big man with a space type, playing the No. 4 position on the court, and still testing his confrontation ability and secondary rebounding under the basket. "Defense" drives offense and becomes the main theme of Smith's fit with the Rockets, so it makes sense for Xiaobao to seize the opportunity.
Jabari Smith scored 14 and 22 points against the Blazers and Pelicans, respectively, and his threat is not just outside projection, if the opponent is close to the defense, Smith will use speed to step through, break through the box to create a kill or make a ball for a teammate, this is the change; In the two preseason games, Smith averaged 23.5 minutes per game, cut 18.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists, shooting 62.0% from the field and an astonishing 83.0% from three-point range, and it is worth mentioning that he averaged only 0.5 turnovers per game, which is impressive.
The purpose of the Rockets has been achieved, Stone will let Smith achieve the sense of relaxation in college, the reason why it will transform, Smith believes that it is to train the training ground, constantly train hard to improve himself; The most important thing is the mental level, he will use yoga, boxing, fitness and other ways to keep himself relaxed, which is the real reason for his outburst. It turns out that the biggest enemy is yourself, because of Smith's growth, Uduka can have a tough threat point on the inside and outside, and the Rockets still have a number of potential stocks waiting for Uduka to tap.
