Congratulations to the Rockets! The 21+12+5 tower starts training. In addition to practicing strength, you also need to practice three-point shooting in the middle

On May 21, the first game of the Western Conference Finals ended with the Thunder defeating the Timberwolves. In fact, this is also a reflection of the real strength of the two teams: after all, the Thunder became the No. 1 in the West this season. Although the Thunder narrowly won the Western Conference semi-finals with the Nuggets, compared with the Timberwolves, it is obvious that the Thunder's overall strength is better than their opponents. Although it cannot be said that the Thunder will definitely enter the finals, this season is already the best chance for the Thunder to win the championship.

For the Rockets, when they see the Thunder's performance, they will definitely be very envious: after all, the Thunder and the Rockets have basically entered the reconstruction period one after another, and the Thunder have now successfully rebuilt and have even become a championship-level team, while the Rockets are still struggling. Although they are second in the Western Conference in the regular season, it is indeed difficult to go further in the playoffs, which is why the Rockets are determined to chase a superstar this summer offseason.

In fact, it seems a bit difficult for the Rockets to get superstars this summer. The Suns and the Bucks will both ask for more chips, so if the Rockets cannot get superstars, it seems that it is a good plan to train young players in the team. The Golden State Warriors trained young players such as Klay Thompson, Curry, Harrison Barnes, and Dream Chasing Green, and then won the championship. The Rockets' players are not bad now, they just lack the experience in the playoffs.

The Rockets' biggest player now is naturally their main center Alperen Shinkyung. In the playoffs, Shin Kyung was able to average 21 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Although sometimes singles are not efficient, Shin Kyung is one of the Rockets' most stable players in the playoffs. Now that the Rockets have already ended this season, some players have started vacation mode, but Shin Kyung has not done so. The Rockets' inside core started his own training. Although he did not appear on the court, Shin Kyung appeared in the strength room this time and he began to practice his own strength.

In fact, since he joined the Rockets for 4 years, Shin Kyung has gone from a thin center to a very strong inside player now, which is inseparable from his strength training every summer. There is even news that the Rockets will let the team's physical coaches go to Turkey to guide Shen Jing in training, which is also one of the reasons why Shen Jing's strength continues to improve in recent seasons. But what we want to say now is that Shin Kyung has actually done a pretty good job in confrontation, and his strength has also improved significantly compared to his rookie season.

The problem that Shin Kyung is currently facing is that he needs to practice mid-range shots and three-point shots so that he can have more scoring methods in next season's game. After all, Shin Kyung is now focusing more points at the basket and using his delicate skills to complete layups, but judging from the regular season and playoffs this season, Shin Kyung's mid-range shooting problem is very problematic.

basically leaves the paint area, and it is difficult for Shin Kyung to score with mid-range shots, and three-pointers are his shortcomings (Sun Kyung's three-point shooting percentage in the regular season is only 23.3%). If Shin Kyung adds mid-range shooting and three-point shooting in addition to his excellent inside scoring skills, then Shin Kyung will become the league's top center at least on the offensive end next season. So while practicing more strength, we hope to see Shin Kyung also train hard in shooting.
