Scoring 25+ in 3 games, Shin Kyung scored 16+8+7! The Rockets offseason plan is realized, and the special treatment is not in vain

This offseason, among the Houston Rockets, the best-treated players are not Durant, nor young players such as Amen Thompson or Smith Jr., but the 23-year-old main center of the Rockets - Alperen Shinkin.

We have seen Shin Kyung's performance in recent warm-up matches and the latest European Championships. In the first three warm-up matches, Turkey won 2 wins and 1 lost, and Shen Jing scored 25 points, 25 points and 26 points in three games. His average score reached 25 points in three games. It can be said that he has become one of the best center players in the warm-up match, even better than Jokic.

In the first game of the European Championship, Turkey beat Latvian men's basketball team with 20 points, the Rockets' main center Shin Kyung once again showed the characteristics of a passer expert and a low-post offensive expert. As the core of the inside line and known as the "inside magician", Shin Kyung made 7 of 12 shots in this game, scoring 16 points, plus the team's highest 8 rebounds, and sent the team's most seven assists, with a positive and negative value of +17. Shin Kyung also became the best player in this game.

It can be said that in the last 4 games, although three of them were warm-up matches and only one was the main match of the European Championship, Shin Kyung, as the absolute core of the Turkish team, has indeed shown the characteristics of "New Jokic". Everyone has read that wrongly. The 23-year-old Shin Kyung is now infinitely close to Jokic, and he is much younger than Jokic. When Jokic was 23 years old, his personal performance was not necessarily better than Shin Kyung. During the offseason, Shin Kyung not only practiced shooting hard, especially three-point shooting, but also increased his investment in defensive and strength training. Even the special treatment given to Shin Kyung by the Rockets management and coaching staff we mentioned earlier - during the offseason, the Rockets sent several assistant coaches to Shin Kyung's hometown of Turkey to accompany him for training. Under the guidance of these Rockets coaches, Shin Kyung has indeed improved rapidly. Every summer, Shin Kyoto of the Rockets is practicing hard, and he has made progress every season. Last season, he even helped the Rockets win the second place in the Western Conference, and he himself became the All-Star Center in the Western Conference.

This offseason, Rockets coach Uduka went to Turkey to observe Shin Kyung's training and guide him; in addition, Rockets' main point guard Van Vritte also went to Turkey to practice with Shin Kyung himself. After all, the Rockets' pick-and-roll tactics in the No. 1 and No. 5 positions last season were very useful. Van Vreet, who was No. 1 position, and Shin Kyung, who was No. 5 position, were once again running in. Such offensive tactics will obviously be the Rockets' trump card next season.

After seeing Shin Kyung's outstanding performance in several warm-up matches and against the Latvian men's basketball team, we can assert that the Rockets' plan to train Shin Kyung in the offseason has finally come true. Not only is Shin Kyung eased offensively, he also becomes more pragmatic on the defensive end. His defensive steps are faster and his movements are more solid. Therefore, the special treatment given to Shin Jing by the Rockets this offseason was not given in vain or wasted. Shin Jing's personal performance, especially his ability on the defensive end, has been greatly improved with the naked eye.
