The first round of the Men s Basketball European Championship: Shin Kyung is in good shape, which may lead to a new change in the Rockets lineup in the new season

On August 28, the Men's Basketball European Championship officially started. After the first round of the group stage, the leading stars of several teams that have attracted much attention all performed well. Winning the championship, Serbia faces its opponent Estonia, which is obviously inferior to its strength, can only be regarded as a small test. Jokic easily scored 11 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in just 23 minutes; Germany won Montenegro with a big score, Schroder and Wagner both scored 20+, Finland narrowly defeated Sweden, Markanen scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and once again became the Finnish god of war. Turkey led by Shin Kyung faces Latvia, which has two outside scorers, Porzingis and Bertans. Turkey, which has the overall strength, also easily defeated its opponents. The status of the two players is also obvious. The former Cavaliers player Ottoman scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and the Rockets' inside core Shin Kyung scored 16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in just 17 minutes. The data is even better than Jokic.

Shin Kyung has played excellent competitive state in recent warm-up matches and the first match of the European Championship, which makes Rockets fans very happy. It is not difficult to see that Shin Kyung in the European arena seems to have become faster and more flexible. He can often see him holding the ball over the half-time counterattack and dunk, and he is more at ease in offensive organization and support. This scene is largely due to the change in his position on the court.

This time, the Turkish head coach asked Shin Kyung to serve as the starting center, and arranged for the midfielder Bona, who played for the 76ers, to serve as the starting center. This greatly reduced the pressure on the inside to protect the frame and defend Shin Kyung. He could have more physical fitness and autonomy on the offensive end, and even the second offensive battle was full of vitality. He would never appear in the Rockets' period that seemed to be slow in the offense and ended with awkward deformation.

It is reported that Shin Kyung's main training this summer is the shooting and offense of three-pointers from the outside. It is not difficult to see that his role on the court may change in the new season. The strengthening of Houston team management is extremely targeted. Re-signing Capela, whose functional attributes are almost the same as Adams, will not only be on the bench as the third center like Langdale last season.

Just imagine if Shin Kyung is just a fake center starting next season and replaces Adams with halfway through the first quarter to ensure the franchise protection and rebounding, Durant, Smith and Van Vleet's shooting from the outside will be more scrupulous. Capela is Adams' substitute, and the two teamed up to allow the Rockets to always maintain the defensive intensity and rebounding in the inside on the court.

Shen Jing focuses on power forwards and rotates with Smith Jr. Ethan and Finney Smith can switch between the 2-3 positions to ensure that Durant and Amen are in the natural misalignment advantage. Let's wait and see what kind of arrangement and state the Rockets will show the fans in the new season!
