Shen Jing matches Antetokounmpo? The Rockets improve their inside advantage! Potential partners average 54 points per game to fight against the Warriors

Basketball

Rockets' double Tashi-kyung and Adams may not appear together in the lineup next season, because Adams' contract expires, and he did not promise to reach a contract renewal with the Rockets. As for Shin Kyung, recent reports have shown that the Rockets have always been open to trading Shin Kyung. If Shen Jing can be exchanged for Antetokounmpo, it will be better. So the combination of Adams and Shin Kyung, who we saw invincible inside the inside last season, is likely to never see each other again, because both of them may not necessarily stay at the team at the same time.

However, Shin Kyung may be more likely to stay in the team than Adams, who is very popular in the free agent market. Because according to news, the Rockets' Shin Kyung did not arouse the Bucks' interest. The Bucks are now looking for two new Rockets, one is their defender Jaylen Green and the other is forward Jabbarry Smith Jr.

Jeren Green and Smith are both very comprehensive: Jaylen Green can serve as a shooting guard and point guard this season; and Smith Jr. can play three positions by one person. He is a power forward in the ordinary lineup, he can play center in the small lineup, and he can retreat to the small forward in the big lineup, can defend, have speed and mobility, and has a 35% three-point shooting percentage.

But if the Rockets really want to change Antetokounmpo, it will be difficult for Jaylen Green and Smith Jr. to keep. In that case, the Rockets' inside partner next season will become the starting power forward Antetokounmpo and the starting center Shin Kyung. Such a combination should make the Rockets' inside line stronger.

The Rockets' interior line is already at the top level in the league this season, and next season if Shin Kyung is matched with Antetokounmpo in the 5th position, the Rockets' offensive combination will be the top level in the league. After all, in this season's playoffs, Antetokounmpo can average 33 points per game, while Shin Kyung can average 21 points per game. The two can join forces to contribute 54 points in the playoffs, so such an inside combination is very exciting.

Although many people say that such an inside combination has no space ability, Antetokounmpo and Shin Kyoto are the kind of players who can easily score at low posts. Even if the external problems are not solved, the Rockets can defeat their opponents even if they "didn't" the inside.

Obviously, in the series between the Rockets and the Warriors this season, the Rockets almost beat their opponents in the inside, but they suffered a loss on the outside. Van Vreet and Jaylen Green were in poor condition and felt bad. If they were a little more accurate on the outside, the Rockets would not be eliminated. We don’t know whether the Rockets can upgrade from the outside next season, but if Antetokounmpo can come and Shin Kyung doesn’t leave, then Shin Kyung and Antetokounmpo’s inside will definitely be better than last season.

The Warriors' shortcomings are naturally the inside. Even if the Rockets let two star players dig into the inside to score next season, they can still defeat the Warriors. You can win the outside shooting, and you can still win the inside score. Even if the Rockets don’t have that kind of top shooter on the outside next season, as long as you give the ball to Shin Kyung and Antetokounmpo in the inside and let them attack the inside, the Rockets can still defeat their opponents Golden State Warriors.

What's more, the Rockets have a full chance to improve their outside line through a series of transactions and signings. So as long as the Rockets can introduce Antetokounmpo next season, they will have a huge advantage in fighting the Warriors.
