Rockets super shooter rises! The 23-year-old tower is too comprehensive: 6 of 9 three-pointers in 2 games, Jokic can t defend him

The Rockets cut off Jock Langdale, the team's third center last season. For the Rockets, Landale is actually a useless player, with an annual salary of 8 million yuan every year, but as a substitute for Shin Kyung and Adams, he really did not make much contribution in the game, and Landale's butterfly problem on the offensive end has never been solved. Although he has certain abilities, tall figure, able to defend at the basket, grab rebounds, send blocks, and even shoot first-hand, Langdale is not as good as Shin Kyung on the offensive end and Adams on the defensive end. Although he has a 42% three-point shooting percentage, he doesn't make many three-pointers, so after Capela came, the Rockets took the initiative to cut Landale.

The Rockets now need a tall shooter in the inside. Smith Jr. is an inside space player that the Rockets focus on training. He is the Rockets' best big shooter. His three-point shooting percentage reached 35% last season. In the three years since joining the Rockets, Smith Jr.'s shooting percentage has been very stable, especially his three-point shooting percentage. Although he is not an elite level, he is also a first-class among power forwards in the league.

However, a Smith Jr. is obviously not enough, and the Rockets need another big man with shooting ability to come forward. Now the Rockets' 23-year-old Turkish striker Shin Kyung has finally turned into a super shooter. In his last five European Championships, he helped Turkey win a record of 5 wins and 0 losses.

And in the last two games against Estonia and Serbia, Shin Kyung made a three-pointer smoothly. In the game against Estonia, Shin Kyung made 2 of 3 points with three points; and in the game against the powerful Serbian men's basketball team, Shin Kyung made 4 of 7 points with super center Jokic.

After two games, Shin Kyung made 9 three-pointers and 6 hits, and even a super center like Jokic could not defend Shin Kyung's three-pointer. It can be said that Shin Kyung is really like a divine assist in this European Championship. Not only does he average nearly 22 points per game, but his shooting percentage is also extremely high, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 46.2% in 5 games. Such a three-point shooting percentage is something the Rockets dared not think of before.

You should know that Shin Kyung was not a center forward known for his shooting ability. He used his steps and feel at low posts to score near the basket. Now in the national team, it is obvious that in addition to scoring in the inside, Shin Kyung often shoots three-pointers from the outside, with a shooting percentage of nearly 50%. This is the result of Shin Kyung's hard practice this summer. At least from the last two games, Shin Kyung has really transformed into a super shooter in the inside.

The 23-year-old Tower is very comprehensive. He can score points and have strong rebound protection capabilities, and even send six or seven assists per game. He made 6 of 9 three-pointers in the last two games, and even a star center like Jokic can't defend him. This shows that Shin Kyung is indeed getting better and better. He can not only score points in the inside and shoot three-pointers from the outside, but also defend, and even help teammates score and connect the team's offense.

Such a comprehensive center is really the most unexpected gain for the Rockets. After all, many people would never have thought that Shen Jing had developed a strong three-point shooting ability in just a few months. However, the sample of several games is still too small, and the Rockets need Shin Kyung to still have such excellent three-point performances in the regular season and playoffs next season.
