This season,Houston RocketsThe performance can be described as opening high and going low. The initial performance was impressive and the record was quite good, but as the season progressed, the team slipped into the swing zone, a result that clearly did not meet the Rockets' expectations. The operation of the last offseason did not seem to be a success, so it was introducedJames HardenIt seems wiser to at least keep the team competitive this season and even hopefully make the playoffs. The failure of the Rockets is not only a failure of the game, but also a failure of the growth of the core players.
Said the ** Arrows in the 21stDraft, they focused on building a core lineup. The Rockets selected four rookies for the year, namelyJayGreen, Shin Kyung, Garuba and Christopher. However, Garuba and Christopher have opted to leave the teamJayGreenHe Shen Jing has become the core player that the Rockets focus on cultivating. But the growth trajectories of the two are very different.
Shen Jing showed a commendable performance, his interior fundamentals are solid, his feet are flexible, and he is a little similarJokicstyle. Although there is still room for improvement in terms of rim protection and defense, inCenterPositionally, he's already a fantastic player. In contrast,JayGreen's growth path seems to be more tortuous. His performances have even shown a downward trend this season, which of course has to do with the team's signings, the large number of young players and the coaching tactics, but more importantly, it is more importantJayGreenis growing too slowly.
Under the leadership of the previous coach, the Rockets have been focusing on developmentJayGreen。He was given unlimited right to shoot as a training focusJayGreenHe showed his offensive talent, although there was room for improvement in efficiency. However, with a new coach taking over, the Rockets began to pursue resultsJayGreenThe right to sell has been limited to a certain extent. In such an environment,JayGreenThere are many signs of maladaptation, and the efficiency and state speak for themselves.
withJayGreenWith the ups and downs of performance, the Rockets' selection of core players has become blurred. Should we focus on developing other players instead of focusing on them?JayGreen, which has been mentioned more than once this season. YetJayGreenHe didn't seem to care about this, and even rumored that he was planning to ask the Rockets hierarchy for a maximum salary. The news caused an uproarJayGreenThe idea of asking for a maximum salary makes people think back to Poole's contract that seems to be a bit worth it.
This season isJayGreenIn the third season of his career, he had the opportunity to sign an early contract extension with the Rockets. In contrast, the Rockets seem to be more inclined to re-sign Shin Kyung early and are likely to give him a salary cap. Although Shin Kyung was unable to trigger the super-cap salary clause, it still brought a lot of financial pressure to the Rockets. If renewed againJayGreen, then the future of the Rockets is likely to be limited. Therefore,JayGreenThe idea can only stay at the idea stage, and it is almost impossible to renew his contract early unless he is willing to significantly reduce his salary.
JayGreenAs a potential star of the Rockets, he has shown great offensive talent over the past few seasons. However, his path to growth was not smooth. Under the new coach, the team began to look for better results, which also led to:JayGreenThere has been a certain change in the status of the team. His limited power and inefficiency have left his future in jeopardy. At the same time, the issue of salary also makesJayGreenCaught in a dilemma. To get the max salary, he needs to be better on the pitch, but reality puts him to the test.
For the Rockets, the question of how to balance the team's future development with its current performance is crucial. JayGreenAs a potential stock, it is worth focusing on, but his fluctuating performances have left the team's management in a tangle. Renewing Shen Jing may be a more conservative choice, but it also means paying him a maximum salary. And continue to cultivateJayGreen, need to consider his salary demands, which is also a challenge for the team's future financial planning. Between trade-offs, the Rockets need to be thoughtful to find the path that best suits the team's development.
As a player,JayGreenThere needs to be more communication and compromise, and a balance between team performance and personal interests is needed. He will need to work harder to adapt to the new tactical system and improve his efficiency and leadership skills. For the Rockets, it is necessary to weigh the future development and the current pressure to find the best solution, not only considering the current performance, but also looking at the long-term development of the future. Through unity and hard work, I believe that Team Rocket can overcome the current difficulties and usher in a brighter future.
