On August 2, Rockets' record Landry Binckley reported that Rockets player Jabbarry Smith Jr. trained with famous basketball trainer Allen Miller. Allen Miller is committed to helping Jia become a better self. Jia has been practicing hard for six consecutive weeks (at least 6 days a week, almost 7 days of practice).

According to Allen Miller, the goal of training this summer is to make Jabbarri's shooting more stable, so that he has no blind spots in the half-court offense, especially on the front and top of the arc, because that is the area he is best at.

Allen Miller is a well-known trainer in the league. He has worked with many high-level athletes in the past 10 years. He also runs a basketball training center. This summer, Xiao Jia and Ethan have improved their comprehensive strength under his training. He tailored every training subject for everyone.

Allen Miller talked about several details:

1. Xiao Jia has been training with him for 6 consecutive weeks, and every day Xiao Jia goes to 25-30 minutes to perform warm-up exercises. He is committed to helping Xiao Jia improve his mid-range shooting and dribbling skills this summer. He hopes to see Xiao Jia is a power forward with ball-holding ability instead of a rough inside big man who can only use 1-2 balls to shoot;

2. According to statistics, Xiao Jia likes to attack from the top of the arc with the ball the most, and he also likes to attack from the top of the arc with the outside. We ask him to increase his mid-range shooting ratio, so that he can become a kaleidoscope with no blind spots in the half-court offense.

3. Xiao Jia has a similar body proportion to KD, but we do not require Xiao Jia to deliberately imitate Durant. His purpose is to become a better self rather than the next Durant. Moreover, he is a very different player from Durant. Xiao Jia can learn the rhythm and read the game from Durant, but we do not limit Xiao Jia to become a specific person.

The Rockets and Jia Jia reached a five-year, 122 million early contract renewal this summer. Because Dillon and Green left the team, he will return to the starting fourth position in the new season, partnering with KD, Shin Kyung, Van Vleet and Amen. At that time, we will know whether he has made any progress.
