The European Basketball Championship is about to begin, and the Turkish men's basketball team and their ace center Alperen Shinkin performed quite well. In a recent game, Turkey beat Lithuania. In the process of playing against Lithuanian star center Valanciunas, Rockets' main center Alperen Shinkin performed quite well. He scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in the whole game, and under his leadership, Turkey also defeated his opponent. At the same time, Lithuanian center Valanciunas had only 10 points and 4 rebounds in the whole game, and his performance was firmly suppressed by Shin Kyung.

, and Shen Jing scored 25 points against the German men's basketball team in the previous game, and also had 4 assists and 9 rebounds. It can be said that on the offensive end, Shin Kyung is indeed a star-level existence in the international competition, and he was able to score 50 points in two games. Shin Kyung is not only one of the Western Conference All-Star Center and Best Inside Score in the NBA League, but also in the international basketball world, Shin Kyung has played his own game. After those veterans basically withdrew, the Turkish team is almost the only team of Shin Kyung, who is the backbone and super core of this Turkish men's basketball team.

However, we also need to see some shortcomings and problems from the joy of 50 points in two games. Since Shen Jing joined the Rockets for four years, I believe everyone has already understood the shortcomings very well. Shin Kyung is a young man with a very high football business. At the age of 23, he has become one of the best centers in the West and is even known as the "New Jokic". However, Shin Kyung's shortcomings seem to have not improved much in the past four years. The first one is that his defense is not strong enough and his horizontal movement speed is slow. When defending the opponent's small man breaks through, Shin Kyung always struggles, and he can even prevent his opponent from scoring layups through constant fouls.

On the offensive end, although Shin Kyung has a soft feel, excellent basket footwork and inside skills, Shin Kyung's shooting ability is not satisfactory. In the past four years of his career, Shin Kyung's three-point shooting percentage has been very low among the Rockets. Last season, his three-point shooting percentage was less than 30%, and the same was true in the previous seasons. Although Shin Jing can shoot three-pointers, his shooting percentage is not high. Moreover, in terms of CITIC, it is difficult for Shen Jing to make a move.

Although it is claimed to have a soft shooting feel, Shin Kyung is more suitable to shoot and score at a position near the basket. He is not good at shooting at mid-range shots, and his shooting percentage is not too high. Therefore, last season, Shin Kyung used his steps and hard play in the inside to score, even grabbed the frontcourt rebound to form a tip-in to complete a second offensive score, and created fouls at the basket and scored points with free throws.

Of course, Shin Kyung's free throw ability is also disappointing. Although Shin Kyung scored 50 points in two warm-up matches, his three-pointers were 0 of 2 shots in these two games and 0 of 4 three-pointers in two games. Shin Kyung made three-pointers in the offseason training, but it seemed that the effect was not ideal. During the offseason, Shin Kyung should be one of the first players to start personal training for the Rockets. He has been practicing confrontational ability, improving physical fitness, and practicing mid-range shots and three-pointers.

However, I missed 4 three-pointers in two warm-up matches, and this performance seems a bit sorry for my special training effect. Shin Kyung still has time to slowly improve his external long-range shooting ability, after all, the new season will only start for more than a month. In addition, it should not be too difficult for the smart Shin Kyung to adapt to his new role and slowly develop three-pointers during the game.
