In the last few games, even if I watch the video, I am in a surging mood and thinking. Especially in the case of Shin Jing, Dillon, Van Jordan, and Green in a temporary slump, Smith and Ethan are eye-catching, including Tate. Here we try to judge and interpret the outburst of Ethan and Smith from several perspectives.
1. The physical talent is there.
Smith and Ethan are physically gifted, and Smith is tall and has a skeleton;Ethan may not be tall, but he has long and large hands. In terms of physical condition, they are all very good people who can carry and fight. And the Udoka team is very suitable for new talent training. Including Shen Jing, Smith and Ethan's professional expertise happens to be defense, and after defense is professional skill development. Actually, there are no surprises about their offensive talent, which is in itself. Smith, who was supposed to be a college shooter;And Ethan, even as a substitute sixth man, is beyond the level of the main scorer.
2. Psychological quality.
1) Smith, in fact, the beginning of entering the NBA was a bit of ups and downs, and its main problem was his mental quality. The first time was because he was selected as a tanhua, he was unwilling and was "collapsed" for the first time, ** The time was when Silas led the Rockets to a winning streak, Smith shot the key shot, and he was alive again, the so-called "Ren Du" two veins, before, challenging Banchero, was not satisfactory, and Chet was injured and did not play;In this year's summer league, Smith and Ethan shined, and Smith was a little floaty. As a result, in the first game of the regular season, he was fired by the Magic, and he felt frustrated, but he was not "collapsed" until he met Benyama, two big hats in a row, and he was finally "collapsed" again. **The way is very special, because he was DNP, and after returning, he specialized in rebounding in games against the Thunder, Nuggets, Spurs, and Grizzlies, scoring by the way (with Udoka's strategic bonus, with Ethan's auxiliary bonus), a little more serious, shooting three-pointers, and bursting points. It has become the "Smith Big 3D" after the second reshaping. This road is far and bright. After all, Smith is still young.
2) When it comes to Ethan, the first impression is that this "stunned green" is very stunned, very tiger, and very fierce. However, Ethan is "fierce and flying" at the same time, and there is also delicate hand work. For example, the positioning, sensitivity, and awareness of grabbing rebounds are all very keen. It's just that in the first year, he was still tender, and he was slammed up, and he became the "Cheng Biting Gold" of the three-plate axe;Because of his naturally big hands and strong body, Ethan steals a lot, often the engine that hits the opponent's morale, steals, dunks, a dragon, and makes people feel omnipresent. This instantly breaks down the original psychological barrier. This "game-by-game" young man has a shooting package this year**: three-point, mid-range shooting, not only has a stable psychological quality, but also can attack and defend well, obviously, he will become an extremely important puzzle piece for the future of the Rockets, in case of carelessness, as a core training is not necessarily. Ethan, it has to be done, and it can be done.
3. Train hard and be guided by someone.
1) The leadership of hardcore traditional players such as Van Jordan and Dillon, and the championship experience of Van Jordan and Jeff Green must have brought excitement to Smith and Ethan, especially Jeff Green's championship ring award, which must be motivating and encouraging. And Smith and Ethan, who were originally rats in the training hall, practiced every day. Quantitative change to qualitative change, this is the basis for their outbreak. There is also a problem, Shen Jing and Green are not performing well for the time being, and the team needs them to break out.
2) Attitude, training attitude, not much to say.
3) Guidance from Udoka and the coaching staff. In the case of Fei Di's confirmation of the "Rocket Six", it has reached the best time to cultivate the third and fourth sons, so the defensive skills, shooting skills, and three-point skills should be gradually polished and matured. This includes the professional guidance of veteran players, assistant coaches, and head coaches.
Summary: The Rockets have actually brought out 3-4 rookie players in 21 games. Green, Shen Jing, Smith, Ethan, among these four people, Green is a scorer and a breakthrough, and it is normal to be unstable. And experience and psychology are tempered in the competition. Very obvious: at a certain stage, Shen Jing is very floating, Green is also floating, and it is estimated that in the next stage, Smith and Ethan will also float. After all, it's still young people, and there are always times of instability.
ps: Tate: Advise the rocket to stay;
Dillon, Van Jordan, and Jeff Green fulfilled the sentence, "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure;."
And Jalen Green, I'm really in a hurry, but he's a defender, and the training time may need to be a little longer.
