17 Rockets players attend training camp, Shepard makes 10 of 10 three-pointers, Van Jordan doesn t want to be traded

Rockets Media Day will be held at the end of this month, with new players such as Durant appearing, followed by a 6-day official training camp.

Rockets officially announced a 18-man training camp roster, of which only 17 players can participate, and one person is seriously injured Van Jordan.

The 17 people participating in the training camp were Harris, Holiday Jr., Amen, Finney Smith, Davidson, Durant, Tate, Matthews, Smith Jr., Adams, Shepard, Ethan, Okogie, Crawford, Sengon, Capela and Grimm, the Sr.

Shepard, who is about to enter his second year of his career, has been training hard. The Rockets official released a video, and he made 10 of 10 three-pointers in the bottom corner, with smooth movements.

Stone chose Shepard because she fell in love with his excellent shooting and ball dealership, hoping that he could become Van Jordan's successor. Shepard's shooting is actually not a problem, and he has a passing vision. The problem is that his physical confrontation, holding the ball and defending are enough in the college league, but not enough in the NBA.

, practice more. Shepard wants to prove that he can gain a foothold in this league, and he needs to work harder. Shepard worked hard to train his strength during the offseason to improve his physical confrontation. From the photos released on the Internet, it can be seen that Shepard's arms have obviously become thicker.

Shepard does not have the athletic talent of a black player, and can only rely on his brain and skills to play. Van Jordan, who is mediocre but hard-working, is his role model. Rockets head coach Uduka arranged for Van Jordan to guide Shepard, which can be said to be a good intention. Van Jordan's body was declining during the Rockets period, and his main scoring method was to throw three points, and his offensive efficiency was not high. Uduka emphasizes defense and reduces mistakes. Van Jordan's characteristics are exactly what he likes. Although Harden has strong personal abilities, he is not his dear.

Now Van Jordan is injured, some American media have begun to criticize the Rockets, and some even predict that the team will miss the playoffs.

Van Jordan came to the Rockets for money, but now he also has feelings for this city. Van Jordan holds the veto power of the deal, and if he doesn't want to leave, the Rockets can't do anything about it.

Van Jordan underwent surgery and updated on social media: Get this little trouble right away, turn around and come back. Van Jordan wants to stay and play, but he doesn't want to be traded. Uduka likes Van Jordan very much, and Stone has been creating a humane character for the Rockets. The Rockets should not have a plan to trade Van Jordan at the moment, so we need to see how his recovery is.

Houston reporter Ben Dubos said it is not yet certain that Van Jordan has been reimbursed for the season.

Dubos revealed in his latest article that Van Jordan's surgery was performed at Hermann Memorial Hospital and the Rockets cannot rule out his return in the playoffs. Hermann Hospital is the top rehabilitation hospital in the United States, and Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming once underwent surgery here.

Van Jordan was injured unexpectedly this time. He was eager to return to the team as soon as possible and bring back the championship trophy for Houston. Whether he can make a comeback in the 2025-2026 season depends on the recovery in the next few months to evaluate. I hope Van Jordan can make a comeback soon and wish him good luck.
