Average of 4+3! The Rockets gave up, but the Grizzlies are the baby? Turned into a sharpshooter, Stone shouldn t let him go

On September 15, the focus battle of the European Championship was over, and the German team finally defeated the Türkiye team and won the precious gold medal. The Türkiye team lost a pity, and they even led their opponents in the first half, but Schroeder suddenly broke out in the third quarter, and at a critical moment in the fourth quarter, Schroeder scored 6 points in a row.

Turkey team made the same mistake as the Rockets last season. No one could stand up at the critical moment to maintain firepower. Whether it was the steady forward Osman, or the center Osmani, who scored 28 points in the previous game, they failed to become Shin Kyung's right-hand man. At the last moment, Shin Kyung made a three-pointer in the top of the circle, but unfortunately he didn't make the ball, and the Turkish team missed the excellent opportunity to equalize or even overtake.

can only say that Shin Kyung's three-point shooting is not done well. Although his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 35% before the final, Shin Kyung obviously did not hit the most critical decisive shot, which also means that his three-point shooting is still not done well.

Although this summer, Shin Kyung has been practicing three-point shooting and mid-range shooting, but Shin Kyung often relies on low-post skills to score. Three-point shooting is not his regular scoring method, and even hard work this summer will not have a good effect. Therefore, the Rockets still need a center who can shoot three-pointers to open up space for Shin Kyung. Unfortunately, the only big guy with the Rockets who have shooting ability is Jabbarry Smith Jr.

Shen Kyung works more at low posts, while Capela and Adams basically do not have the ability to shoot. Both of them are the kind of first-class defensive players, tall and strong, and they are not good at shooting, especially three-pointers. If the Rockets leave Langdale, then their problem will be solved. Last season, Langdale averaged 4 points and 3 rebounds per game for the Rockets, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 42%. He is nominally the Rockets' best inside shooter, even 7 percentage points higher than Jabbarry Smith Jr.'s three-point shooting percentage.

Unfortunately, in order to save money and to welcome Capela, the Rockets finally cut Landale directly. Since Landale is a non-guarantee contract, the Rockets have no losses. However, after the 29-year-old Langdale left the Rockets, he naturally became a hot spot in the free agent market. The Memphis Grizzlies successfully signed Langdale with a basic salary, and they also got the Rockets' inside scorer last season.

In fact, the Rockets really shouldn't let Landale go because he is more functional than Capela. Capela only knows how to defend and grab rebounds, but Landale has a pretty good three-point shooting ability and has good low-post offensive skills. Although he sometimes holds the ball unstable and is often intercepted, Landal's three-point attribute is something Adams and Capela do not have.

The Grizzlies signed Landal because they wanted a tall inside shooter, because although Zach Eddie, the main center of the Grizzlies, was tall and strong, he did not have the ability to shoot three-pointers. Langdale was regarded as a treasure by the Grizzlies and successfully signed with a basic salary. If Adams and Langdale are standing next to Shin Kyung next season, the Rockets may seem more at ease in scoring.
