Rockets inside core: The championship is our goal, Durant will help us a lot

Houston Rockets interior star Alperen Sengun is currently in training in Turkey. He also accepted an interview with reporters during the training, and in the interview, he talked about the team's goals for next season and the situation of his new teammate Kevin Durant.

When talking about the team's goals for next season, Shin Kyung said: There is no doubt that our goal is to win the championship! This is also the goal of everyone in our team. I hope to bring back glory to the city of Houston, and I hope to once again offer this love and glory to my motherland, Türkiye. In the new season, I believe everyone will witness a more focused and dominant Shin Kyung, and my performance will also make further breakthroughs than in the past few seasons. Speaking about Durant's situation, Shin Kyung continued: I'm very happy to play with a great player like Durant, no matter how old he is. After all, he is Kevin Durant! I have no doubt that his arrival will bring a lot of help to the team, and he will help us all. He is very efficient in both defense and offense, and he is an all-round player.

In the NBA regular season last season, Shin Kyung played 76 games for the Rockets in 82 games, averaging 31.5 minutes per game, averaging 19.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 2.6 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 49.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 23.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 69.2%. In the playoffs, Shin Kyung made a total of 7 appearances, averaging 36.6 minutes, averaging 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 3.7 fouls. He shot 45% from the field, 37.5% from three-point shooting percentage and 62.5% from free throws. In the NBA regular season last season, Durant played 62 games in 82 games, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 43%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%.

Shin Kyung was the best player in the Rockets team last season. He has outstanding dominance on the court. He has a good scoring ability at the basket. He can also play some role in passing and supporting. His performance on the defensive end has also improved a lot. However, in the new season, the situation may change. Obviously, Durant will become the team's number one star and number one scorer, and Shin Kyung's position on the court will also undergo some changes. I don’t know what kind of performance the Rockets can perform with the joint efforts of Shin Kyung and Durant.
