5 of 8 and 21+3! I have to shoot three-pointers, otherwise Amen will beat me. Sheppard showed off after the game

The Rockets defeated the Wizards 135-112 and won 2 consecutive games. In the 10 games of the new season, the Rockets have won 7 and lost 3 with a winning rate of 70%. In fact, from a realistic perspective, this is a pretty good report card. Van Jordan is out for the season, Durant has just joined and needs to adjust, and the top five players also need to adjust. Then what is the most reasonable arrangement between the starters and substitutes? What exactly should be done about the organization? These are the problems Uduka needs to solve.

But after two consecutive losses at the beginning, Uduka solved these problems perfectly. The top five of death have been used less and less recently, and Durant himself is compatible with any team. Now he is the key player and attacker of the Rockets. Others have good hands, and Durant is the green leaf. Others didn't feel good, so they gave the ball to Durant to score points. So Durant relaxed, and the young Rockets also grew up. In terms of organization, Sheppard and Amen also played well, and people gradually forgot about Van Jordan.

After Okogie entered the starting lineup, the Rockets achieved a record of 7 wins and 1 loss. To sum up the Rockets' current tactics, when Sheppard is on the court, they can play 15 pick-and-rolls. After all, he can shoot. When there is no Sheppard, Shen Jing takes the ball and runs it in, and then it is up to him to finish or distribute the ball. Amen switches offense on the court, and Amen and Shepard also need to help Shen Jing reduce the pressure of holding the ball. Now the division of labor among everyone in the Rockets is very clear. The most important thing is that Shepard exploded. This is something even happier than the Rockets' 7-3 start.

Van Jordan is out for the season, and Uduka is rushing to strengthen Sheppard. I was originally prepared for a poor record, but this young man Shepard is really capable of holding his own. Really talented players don't need to watch for three years, 10 games is enough. In fact, this season is considered his rookie season for Shepard, who is in second grade this year. After all, there was really no chance last season, and Shepard, who got enough opportunities, is a huge threat in terms of self-confidence and shooting. As fans said, this is the Rockets' self-developed Curry.

Sheppard played 25 minutes today, making 8 of 11 shots from the field, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. In the past four games, Sheppard averaged 16.3 points, 1.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.3 steals per game. The field goal percentage was 65.8%, the three-point shooting percentage was 60.0%, the true shooting percentage was 80.6%, and the cumulative plus-minus value was +21. This is quite terrifying data, which can be called both offensive and defensive. Moreover, Shepard is not just taking dumplings. He is now accurate against strong teams, but takes off directly against weak teams.

The atmosphere of the Rockets is also good. Sheppard said in the post-game interview that he is now full of confidence. Moreover, Sheppard was also motivated by his teammates. Durant encouraged Xiao Xie to continue to increase his aggression. Shen Jing and Uduka also told Xiao Xie to act decisively. And Amen Thompson directly told Sheppard that if you dribble without taking a shot in a wide open space, he will punch Xiao Xie. Shepard admitted this personally in the post-game interview, and Amen said he was going to beat him up.

Sheppard said: "My confidence is now overwhelming, and I believe I can hit all the shots. I thank my teammates for supporting me. They told me that I never need to lose my confidence. We also need your shooting ability. Being able to be selected by the team I feel very happy, especially Amen Thompson, who told me in the weight room, 'If you don't take a shot next time there is an open shot, but choose to dribble one more time, I will punch you in the face. '"

Rockets reporter Danielle. Lerner said she just checked that statement with Amen, who said it was indeed what he said. To be honest, Xiao Xie has been criticized a lot, but this time maybe it really worked out for him. Feidi said that Xiao Xie wanted to score 20 points and 5 assists casually on a weak team like the Nets. Now it seems that it is not an exaggeration. His ability to score points is too fast.
