James’ praise is justified! Shen Jing’s 13+13+5+4 in the third quarter is still the core of offense and defense, and the 37-year-old KD becomes his deputy

October 9, NBA preseason game, Rockets VS Jazz. Durant came on the scene in this game, but the team's first core is still Shen Jing. The team's offense relies too much on Shen Jing's connection. Almost every ball has to pass through Shen Jing's hands. In the three quarters, Shen Jing had 13 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 steals. Shen Jing was impeccable on both offense and defense.

As I have analyzed before, even if KD comes, the first core of this team is still Shen Jing. When the team fell behind 3-11, it was Shen Jing who made two assists to help Amen open up. After Durant came off the court, Shen Jing made a foul under the basket, and Love made a 2+1 dunk to directly help the team overtake. Shen Jing scored 5 points, 2 assists and 2 steals in 10 minutes in the first quarter.

From the perspective of Shen Jing's connection, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the Rocket Jokic. Amen and Shepard's connection ability are very limited. The team's offensive fluency completely relies on Shen Jing, assisting Davidson with three points and assisting Davis. Attacked Capela for a dunk and assisted Amen for a dunk. In the second quarter, Shen Jing scored 6 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals. In the second quarter, Shen Jing scored 11 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals on 4 of 7 shots in the half. Shen Jing scored 19 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks in his debut. They were all outstanding.

Shen Jing only played 3 minutes in the third quarter and already reached double figures with two more assists. Shen Jing was still 5 rebounds short of a triple-double. Shen Jing’s support ability is too strong. Then Shen Jing assisted KD to hit a three-pointer. In 28 minutes, Shen Jing made 5 of 8, scored 13 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals with only 1 turnover. The assist-to-turnover ratio was 13:1. Isn't this Jokic? Isn't this a point guard?

Shen Jing did not appear in the final quarter. The game lasted 27 minutes and 58 seconds, 5 of 8, 13 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and only 1 turnover. The shooting rate was 62.5%. Shen Jing is worthy of being a European magician.

Before the game, Lakers star James commented on Shen Jing: Shen Jing has just had a perfect summer. I think he will bring this energy to Houston. This is a very important year for them.
