The Rockets transform into another 100 million-dollar superstar! Xiaojia was confident and calm with 26+5 in 22 minutes. The media praised the huge progress

On October 15th, in the NBA preseason, Rockets VS Pelicans, Uduka played a strange formation in this game. Unexpectedly, the first arrow of this strange formation was not Kevin Durant or Shen Jing, but Jabari Smith Jr.. His shooting is extremely confident, and his ball handling is as sharp as a knife. If Jabari can maintain this state, who says the Rockets can't compete for the championship?

The Houston Rockets used a top-five lineup. In this lineup, Durant, who is 2.11 meters tall, is at the second position, and Jia, who is 2.1 meters tall, is at the third position. Unexpectedly, Jia was able to play with ease in such a lineup. He hit a three-pointer on a pass from Amen in the opening quarter. He made 4 of 6 in the first quarter, 1 of 1 three-pointer, and scored 11 points and 2 rebounds.

Jia played 16 minutes in the first half, making 5 of 11, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 16 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. He was +13 on the court and his true shooting percentage was 62.7%. (In the last game against the Jazz, he scored 18 points in 24 minutes)

After changing sides, Xiao Jia continued his good touch, hitting two consecutive three-pointers, and then causing various fouls under the basket. In a single quarter of 6 minutes, he scored 10 points and 1 rebound on 2 of 5 + 4 of 4 free throws. In 22 minutes of the third quarter, he made 7 of 16 and 4 of 10 three-pointers. He scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block.

Jia immediately clocked out of get off work at the end of the quarter. He scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block in 22 minutes of the third quarter. His performance was outstanding.

Xiu Media: I always like to see Xiao Jia get enough screen time; Xiao Jia already looks different; this is definitely the strongest and most handsome Smith I have ever seen.

Jia signed a five-year, 122 million early contract extension with the Rockets this summer. He has the last year of his rookie season left, and the average salary of this contract is only 24.4 million. Now it seems that Stone has made a lot of money again, just like Shen Jing has only made 185 million in five years.
