Average of 21+12+5! The Rockets No. 1 star may be traded? Sold at the highest value, Stone is smart

The Rockets' inside line is indeed very strong this season, especially after coach Uduka accidentally discovered that the two tower mode is very useful, the Rockets immediately activated the two tower mode for the rest of the regular season games. I still remember that it was during the Rockets and Pacers' game, and Uduka sent Adams to the field and partnered with the Rockets' main center Shin Kyung at the time. As a result, although the Rockets lost that game, their offensive and defensive rebound protection were done well in the inside, even better than Shin Kyung's single center.

The Rockets actually have been using the double tower mode last season. The main center is Alperen Shinkin and the main power forward is Jabbarri Smith Jr. But Smith Jr. looks like an outside player no matter how he looks, because he is relatively thin and tall, but he is not good at fighting against other big players in the inside. Smith Jr.'s best way is to make three-pointers from the outside to open up space for Shin Kyung and other defenders in the inside, but his defensive and rebounding abilities are relatively average.

For the Rockets, the inside line is becoming more and more important today. Taking advantage at the basket and opening up space for the outside linebacker is the Rockets' usual tactic. So in the playoffs, the Rockets' outside line became a supporter: Jaylen Green averaged only 13 points per game, a full 8 points less than his average 21 points per game in the regular season; while the performance and data of both Shin Kyung and veteran Adams were better than the regular season.

Shin Kyung averaged 21 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists per game in 7 games of the playoffs. Just looking at the data, he is already a star-level center, and Shin Kyung is also the only player selected for the Rockets this season to be selected as an All-Star player. As the Rockets' team's scoring champion and rebounding champion, Shin Kyung has obviously entered the most valuable period.

But at this moment, news came: According to reports, if the Rockets want to chase Antetokounmpo, the management intends to trade with the Bucks with Shen Jing, who is averaging 21+12+5 per game. Although the Bucks want Jaylen Green and Smith Jr., it is still a bit puzzled to see the Rockets plan to trade the number one star Shin Kyung in the team. After all, Shin Kyung is the Rockets' best player now, and his performance is extremely stable in both the playoffs and the regular season. In the playoffs, he dares to play hard, has a tough style of play, and even has improved his defense.

Why did the Rockets trade their first star? Obviously, there are some considerations: Shen Jing is almost 23 years old at present, and the data and personal status seem to have reached its peak. If the Rockets get a superstar next season, Shin Kyung's ball rights and data are likely to decline. Therefore, trading Shen Jing while it is at its highest value can bring more chips; if you wait until the data performance declines next season before trading, you will obviously suffer a loss.

Furthermore, Shin Kyung must not just change role players. If you want to change, change superstars with stronger abilities and greater ranks. This is the reason why the Rockets want to get better superstars and traded with Shin Kyung. After all, Shin Kyung is the most valuable bargaining chip for the Rockets.

"selled" while Shin Kyung is the most valuable, which is also the shrewdness of Rockets general manager Raphael Stone. If a better superstar can be obtained, the Rockets' upper limit will be increased; if Shen Jing is left as the core training, the upper limit of the team may be at most only the second round of the playoffs, which is determined by personal ability and talent. Although Shin Kyung is a good center, compared to a superstar like Antetokounmpo, Shin Kyung's ability is obviously insufficient and cannot help the Rockets compete for the championship further. Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason why the Rockets want to send off main center Shin Kyung.
