Successful muscle building! Congratulations to the Rockets on the double towers, the strong inside team next season, taking into account long shots + low-post skills

Since Rockets head coach Uduka took office, the Rockets have risen from the 11th place in the West to the second place in the West in two years. The Rockets entered the NBA playoffs for the first time after five years last season. Although the Rockets had no advantage against the Warriors in the playoffs and were eventually eliminated by their opponents 3:4, the Rockets also consumed the Warriors, and the Warriors were easily eliminated by the Timberwolves in the second round of the playoffs. It can be said that although the Rockets lack experience and scoring ability in the playoffs, they can still cause huge trouble to any team.

The Rockets have learned their intelligence in the new season. They know that they lack scoring ability, so they introduced super scorers like Durant. The Rockets' inside line also needs to be improved, so in this position, the Rockets have lost two centers, Langdale and Dante in the new season, but the arrival of veteran Capela has improved the Rockets' defense and rebounds.

However, the Rockets need a big man who can shoot more. After all, Langdale's three-point shooting percentage last season was as high as 42%. If he lost him, the only big man who can shoot was probably young forward Jabbarry Smith Jr. You know, Smith Jr.'s three-point shooting percentage reached 35% last season, which can only be said to be a qualified level.

This offseason, Smith Jr. has been practicing her skills hard. In addition to enhancing the accuracy of three-point shooting and mid-range shooting, Smith Jr. also conducted muscle building training under the guidance of the coach. Recently we saw the latest training photos of Smith Jr. He looks more muscles and his body becomes stronger, even bigger.

In addition, Alperen Shinkyung, the best partner of Rockets Smith Jr., was also clearly seen in the European Championships, especially his sturdy arms were even more dazzling. Shin Kyoto almost becomes stronger every season, and this summer, Shin Kyo also trains in shooting and confrontation. From the European Championships final photos, we can see how strong Shin Kyung is now.

So, the Rockets' expected double-tower in the interior - Jabbarri Smith Jr. and Alperen Shinkyung, will basically succeed in upgrading this summer, and they will not be afraid of confrontation next season. The Houston Rockets will also have a strong enough power inside line next season. In addition to Smith Jr. improving his confrontational ability, Shin Kyung has also become a powerful center. In addition, the already very strong veteran Adams and Rockets' veteran player and center "Pie King" Clint Capela, the inside line composed of four towers is also at the top three levels in the league in terms of strength and confrontation.

More importantly, the Rockets' inside combination is not only about improving strength and fearless confrontation, but even stronger is that this lineup combines low-post offensive skills and long-range shooting ability. For example, Shin Kyung has now become a very outstanding low-post attacker. Shin Kyung can score high scores in the European Championships and several previous warm-up matches, which is closely related to his hard practice this summer.

Smith Jr.'s three-point shooting ability has also improved. The Rockets' interior defense will not be under any pressure next season, because Capela, Smith Jr. and Adams are all big men who are mainly defense-oriented. The Rockets' center Shin Kyung has already shown improvements in defensive end capabilities last season. As long as this progress trend continues next season, the Rockets' interior offense and defense will be perfect next season.
