Average of 21+10+7! Shin Kyung exploded, the Rockets third center pales in comparison? He chose the wrong team for 21.5 million in 3 years

If we look at paper strength alone, the Houston Rockets are one of the few teams in the Western Conference that can compete with the defending champion Thunder last season. Although the Clippers and the Nuggets also have similarly perfect lineups, it has to be said that Leonard's "yin and yang contract" incident has made the Clippers worry, and the prospects for next season are unknown; although the Nuggets seem to have a perfect lineup, their bench is far inferior to the Rockets, and Shin Kyung played better than Jokic in the European Championships. Therefore, next season's Rockets will be matched with Durant, and their overall strength will be slightly higher than that of the Nuggets.

More importantly, the Rockets' main center Shin Kyung performed too perfectly in the five group matches in the European Championships in the recent European Championships. Not only did he stand out in the MVP voting and lead all the stars, but he also won all five games and won a very perfect performance. In five games, Rockets' ace center Shin Kyung averaged 21.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, plus 6.8 assists, and his shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage and free throw shooting percentage were all very impressive. Moreover, in the previous game against Serbia, Shin Kyung made 4 of 7 three-pointers, and he turned into an inside shooter. It seems that he has made great progress this summer.

Then, seeing the performance of Shin Kyung, the main center, Clint Capela, the Rockets' third center in the new season, obviously pales in comparison. As we all know, Capela chose to renew the Rockets with a three-year contract of 21.5 million this summer. Although his appearance order next season is behind Shin Kyung and Adams, many people think Capela will also get a lot of playing time next season.

But now, Shin Kyung's performance makes Uduka feel at ease. The Rockets will definitely improve his playing time in the new season, plus veteran Adams who needs more playing time, and the Rockets may continue to use it, or use the double tower lineup more. In that case, Shin Kyung occupies a lot of playing time, Adams divides the remaining No. 5 playing time. Capela, as the third center, is likely to be similar to Langdale last season, which means that it will be difficult for him to enter the rotation lineup, and he is just a substitute among the Rockets' center position.

If Capela becomes free this summer, she chooses to join other teams, and even some teams ranked in the middle and lower levels in the league, judging from his average of 9 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block last season, Capela can completely become the main center of a team. But Capela has always been thinking about returning to the Rockets, even as the third center, she is willing to do so.

It's a pity that there is a feeling. Capela finally returns to his old club, the Rockets, but Capela will play very little next season. After all, Shin Kyung's performance in the European Championship and his evolution in this offseason should increase Uduka's playing time; similarly, Adams is only 31 years old and is not very old, and he will occupy the remaining playing time, so the 31-year-old Capela's playing time will be greatly reduced.

If you go to other teams, there will definitely be no such phenomenon. It can only be said that although you have signed a three-year contract of 21.5 million, Capela has completely chosen the wrong team in terms of playing time. He chose the Rockets, which has two star centers in charge, and he will have few opportunities to play next season.
