Winning by an average of 19 points per game! Ranked first in the league in offense, Meiji and Duchesne combined, the Rockets experiment was successful

The Rockets defeated the Nets and Raptors consecutively and achieved 2 consecutive victories. The current start is 2 wins and 2 losses, which is actually not bad. Losing to the Thunder and Pistons, the Rockets lost 2 games by 5 points. Both the Thunder and Pistons also had a chance to win. The Rockets once led the Thunder by 10 points and the Pistons by 8 points. It's just that the problem of not having a ball handler was exposed later, and the crazy use of the five death weapons. Since Udoka put Okogie in the starting lineup and moved Adams to the bench, the Rockets are alive.

You can't say that the Rockets are weak, but their starters and substitutes are more reasonable, which is also a fact before us. And the trade to bring in Durant is currently the right thing to do. Durant's offensive ability is very strong and his shooting rate is extremely stable. The 50% shooting rate of human beings is no joke. Since the start of the season, Durant has averaged 27.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, shooting 53% from the field. Without Van Jordan, the Rockets at least still have Shen Jingneng to organize, and the chemical reaction between him and Durant is quite good.

Meiji Evan Sidery revealed the influence of the Duchesne group today. According to statistics, in the Rockets' first four games, when Durant and Shen Jing were on the court at the same time, the Rockets beat their opponents by 19.1 points per 100 possessions. Among them, the offensive efficiency is explosive, ranking first in the league at 131.9. The defensive end is not bad either, ranking 13th in the league. Constipation was common in the Rockets' offense last season, and Van Jordan couldn't solve it. Especially in the regular season, Van Jordan and Jaylen Green were called an inefficient duo by Rockets fans, averaging less than 40% from the field. Van Jordan's reversal of criticism was his heroic performance against the Warriors in the playoffs this year, and Green's straight numbers.

Why the combination of Durant and Shen Jing is so powerful may be due to the evolution of Shen Jing. Many people always brag about how great they are in the offseason, such as I improved this, I improved that. But when it comes to actual combat, he can't perform it well. Unlike Shen Jing, he has really mastered the three-pointer. Shen Jing averaged 23.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists in 4 games, including a field goal percentage of 49%, a three-point shooting percentage of 57.1%, and a true shooting percentage of 62.5%. Three-pointers are supported by big data. Shen Jing averaged 3.5 shots per game and hit 2 goals. In the past four seasons, when he took the most three-pointers, he averaged 1.8 shots per game.

While Shen Jing doubled his output, his hit rate also increased to incredible levels. It can only be said that Shen Jing is still the best among all the Rockets rookies. He is really getting better every year. From being a substitute in the first year, to being a substitute for Blackie in the first 20 games of the second year and then being unable to start the game, now it is becoming more and more like Jokic's rise. Why do everyone have expectations for Yang Hansen? Don’t you just want him to become Shen Jing?

But Yang Hansen is still far away from Shen Jing's level of progress. The Fire Dragon Family is not that easy to get into, and it cannot be solved by playing several preseason games. It all depends on whether Yang Hansen can live up to his expectations. When Shen Jing was selected by the Rockets, everyone was looking forward to Jaylen Green as the second pick. They said that Shen Jing was an inverse version and did not need to be given resources to train. The Rockets once put Shen Jing on the trading desk, hoping to bring in Da Luo to replace him. Fortunately, the Rockets management held back and did not move, so Shen Jing had the opportunity to exert his strength.

This is only the first year of the five-year 185 million contract, and Shen Jing is only 23 years old. Just like Durant said, Shen Jing has been able to attract a lot of defensive resources to encircle and suppress him. When the Rockets and Clippers faced off a few years ago, the third brother Harden was more optimistic about Shen Jing in the interview, but did not mention Jaylen Green. In fact, the super giant's vision is correct, they know who is stronger. The combination of Durant and Shen Jing is also not optimistic, but the current data has shown that the two are very compatible. They are likely to create miracles and compete for the championship when Van Jordan is reimbursed for the season. If completed, this will be a miracle.
