NBA preseason, Rockets 133-115 Hawks. The Rockets' main players did not play in this game, but mainly used substitutes. But they started to go on a rampage in the second half, continuing to widen the point difference, and finally completed the victory. After the game, the Rockets received four good news.

Shepard actually became the leader of the backcourt in this game. This is the most exciting performance. 29 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks. Such data is enough to prove his offensive and defensive lethality. Especially on the defensive end, Trae Young is very restricted. On the offensive end, he can not only score three-pointers, but also break through. In addition, there is no problem in showing his organizational skills. As long as he is given the ball, he can still stabilize the backcourt, which is a great reinforcement for the No. 1 position.

Of course, there is also a point guard who continues to contribute, and this person is Davidson. Davidson has shown good potential many times in this preseason, with 14 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. Although his scoring is not as explosive as Shepard, his series and defense have no problems. This is another great treasure of the Rockets. Driven by the two of them, the No. 1 position can be further compensated.

And judging from the current performance of the Rockets in the preseason, the overall strength of the lineup has been comprehensively improved. Durant can ensure stability on the offensive end, Smith and Shepard's shooting ability has improved, Amen has improved in three-pointers, and Shen Jing's offensive and defensive performance has improved. Coupled with the performance of today's substitute players, the Rockets will be very strong whether they are starters or substitutes, and their upper limit has been strengthened.

The Rockets' three-point shooting percentage has also improved. The shooting percentage was 19 of 48 in the game. This shooting percentage was a huge improvement compared to last season. Even in these four games, the three-point performance is better than last season. The average score in the four preseason games: 130+, which proves that their explosive power on the offensive end is very obvious.
