Lose to Germany! Schroeder hit 22+5, Shin Kyung evolved again 25+9+4, and the Rockets are expected to compete for the championship

The German team narrowly defeated Turkey 73-71 in the European Cup warm-up match of the men's basketball team. German player Schroder scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and the team was indeed stronger. Although Türkiye lost, Shin Kyung's performance was eye-catching. Shin Kyung played for 35 minutes, scored 9 of 11 shots, scoring 25 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, of which the 2-point shooting percentage was 9 of 9 shots. Shin Kyung's performance made Germany unable to cope with it, so it can only be said that the Rockets made a fortune this time.

As a rookie with the 16th pick in the first round in 2021, Shin Kyung performed better than Jaylen Green. In the fourth year of his career, he continued to pursue Jokic's footsteps and successfully became the All-Star. The Rockets renewed their contract with Shen Jing for 185 million in five years in advance, and it was a big deal, because if Shen Jing wanted a maximum salary, he could be tied with the Rockets. And there are many teams that want Shin Kyung, especially the Bulls have long been salivating about Shin Kyung. They were planning to pursue Shin Kyung this offseason. .

However, Shin Kyung's contract renewal with the Rockets in advance also basically ruined the Bulls' intentions. Shen Jing's new contract will take effect in the new season. Compared with other All-Star rookies selected in the 21st class who received a five-year maximum salary of 205 million yuan, the signing of Shen Jing's contract has saved the Rockets too much money, and his average salary is 37 million yuan. In the league, you want to find an inside line like Shin Kyung who can play solo by himself, organize teammates, and have rebounds and frame protection.

Shin Kyung is the Rockets' Jokic. After today's game, the Rockets' official, including all Houston media, are praising Shin Kyung. They are looking forward to Shin Kyung joining Durant next season. It is obvious that there are scorers like Jaylen Green around you in the past, and Shin Kyoto can play a huge threat. Now that Green is replaced by Durant, Shin Kyung's offensive threat will be even greater. The most important thing is that Shen Jing has evolved again. Facing the German competition, Shen Jing's weight loss backward movement speed has obviously become faster and his explosive power has become stronger.

At the same time, Shin Kyung has trained his big hook to the realm. He held the ball and attacked the inside line, and was quite good at facing the high throws that were blocked. The only downside is that the three-pointer that has been hard-working since the offseason has not shown any threat today. Last season, Shen Jing averaged 19.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 breaks and 0.9 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 50%. In the playoffs, Shin Kyung increased his score to 21 points, had 12 rebounds and 5.3 assists, and contributed 1.84 steals.

You will be looking forward to the new season. When Durant holds the ball from the outside, Shin Kyung comes up to pick-and-roll. How domineering are the two big men working together? You defend Durant, Shin Kyung gets the ball and goes smoothly. If you block Shin Kyung, isn’t it just a practice to put Durant in an open shot? Whether it is the Thunder, the Warriors, or the Nets and the Suns, Durant has never partnered with a center like Jokic. Shin Kyung is the inside line that perfectly meets all Durant's requirements, and he fills the shortcomings of the Durant organization. Durant's indiscriminate attack on the offensive end can also reduce the probability of Shin Kyung being attacked. Shin Kyung's rebounding protection on the defensive end can help Durant. After all, when he was in the Suns, the team's forward line was weak and the inside line was even weaker, and Durant was once asked to play center. In the Rockets' group of forward teams, plus Shin Kyung and Adams, Capela can only play in the third inside. Van Jordan is also a defender in the backcourt. He won two championships with Warriors Durant, but was not recognized. If the Rockets can win the championship, it will be Durant's real first championship, and his historical status will be greatly improved.
