In a previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the Pistons defeated the Houston Rockets 98-83. After this game, the Pistons achieved two consecutive victories in the summer league, with a current record of 2 wins and 0 losses, while the Rockets suffered their first defeat in the summer league, with a current record of 1 win and 1 loss.

In this game, the Rockets' starting and backcourt star Reed Sheppard showed a huge decline. Shepard played 28 minutes and 14 seconds in the game, made 6 of 19 shots, 1 of 7 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored the highest score of the team with 18 points plus 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 steals. He also had 6 turnovers and 4 fouls, and the plus and negative values were lower than the lowest of -26 in the game. Shepard holds a lot of ball rights and gives out mobile phones on the offensive end, but his offensive efficiency can be said to be terrible, his scoring ability is not fully utilized, and his effect on the court is also a mess. As a backcourt player, Shepard's performance in passing and organizing offense is also terrible, Shepard's performance in turnover control is even more terrible, and he has also wasted a lot of ball rights. The plus or negative value of -26 is a full proverb. Shepard's negative impact on the team is too great, and it has reached a somewhat outrageous level. His poor performance also directly led to the team's defeat.

In the previous game where the team lost to the Los Angeles Clippers, Shepard's performance was actually quite good. He shot 10 of 25 shots, 6 of 15 shots from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 4 shots from outside the three-point line. He scored the highest score of 28 points plus 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks. He also had 3 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -4. Shepard's offensive efficiency in the previous game was relatively stable, and his performance on the defensive end was also better, and he can play a certain role in passing. However, he seems to be a very unstable player. In this game, the situation has changed completely. He directly played a disaster-level performance, which is indeed a bit speechless.

Shepard should have been a very comprehensive player. He should have provided a lot of support to the team on both offense and defense. This should also be an important factor in choosing him with a scattered lottery in last year's NBA Draft. Shepard is of course capable of taking on more responsibilities, and he should be one of the best players in the NBA Summer League level. But we don’t understand why his performance is so fluctuating and unstable. Shepard should have become the absolute core of the team in the summer league. Will his performance in the next game recover?
