Congratulations to the Rockets! Shin Kyung returns to Houston and appears in the stadium and has officially started training

On September 28, according to the Rockets' arrangements, the Rockets will hold training camps for the new season on October 1. Before that, the Rockets players had basically returned to Houston. We can see from the reports that Shin Kyung, who performed well in the European Championships and led the Turkish men's basketball team to win the silver medal in the European Championships, has now ended his vacation and returned to Houston.

You should know that two weeks ago, Shin Kyung was still participating in the European Championships in Europe. In the game, he averaged 21+10+6 per game, and performed quite well. Although he was eventually defeated by the German men's basketball team and only won the runner-up, Shin Kyung's performance in the European Championships was even better than Jokic, and was not inferior to the two superstars, Antetokounmpo and Doncic. Now Shin Kyung has returned to Houston, and the burden on him will be heavier next season. After Jaylen Green was traded, the Rockets reorganized the outside line. Van Vreet's injury caused the Rockets' outside strength to decline seriously, especially their point guard position. All they can use are Amen Thompson, Shepard and Holiday. Therefore, Shin Kyung must participate more in the organizational offense next season. He needs to hold the ball more in his hands, send assists, and create opportunities for his teammates to easily score.

Now Shin Kyung has officially returned to Houston, and he and his teammate Smith Jr. have trained together. In addition to star center Alperen Shinkin, three new players from the Rockets, Kevin Durant, Okogi and Dorian Finney Smith, also appeared in the stadium. Among them, Finney Smith and Okogie practice together, while Durant trained with his old friend Adams.

Although the Rockets' training camp has not officially begun, most Rockets players have already appeared on the training ground and started their own training. They will wait for the Rockets' official training camp to unveil a few days later. They will work together under the leadership of Uduka to prepare for the preseason in the new season and the more important NBA regular season.

Rockets veteran Van Villete was accidentally injured and was reimbursed, which is also one of the huge shadows cast by the Rockets in the new season. In addition, the early renewal of Durant and Ethan has been plaguing the Rockets, but now that things have come, the Rockets can only look forward.

In the future, Amen Thompson, Holiday and Shepard can all serve as point guards. As long as the two superstars Shin Kyung and Durant can do more work in passing, the Rockets should have no problem sorting out the offense next season. After all, Shin Kyung is the number one organizer and assist king among the Turkish men's basketball team, and Durant's average assists per game in his career has reached 4.4 times. If the Rockets can invest in more organizational offenses, then the Rockets have these two core helps, and even if Van Vritte is missing next season, it should not be a big problem.

Shin Kyung and three new players have arrived in the Rockets' stadium, which also means that the Rockets' new season is about to begin. Although some experts believe that it is difficult for the Rockets to enter the playoffs, it is obviously a bit exaggerated. Even without Van Vreet, the overall strength of the Rockets, especially their midfield and frontcourt strength, is still at the top level in the league. Moreover, the Rockets can still find another point guard through trades to make up for their shortcomings. These are the places where the Rockets can improve. As long as other Rockets players can perform normally, they will still be one of the favorites for the NBA championship next season.
