Just today! Shin Kyung sets a record and becomes the first person in 30 years. The Rockets championship is a chance

On September 1, 2025, in the group stage of the Men's Basketball Team, Turkey vs. Estonia. Although the Turkish team's performance in this battle was not outstanding, they still suppressed Estonia in the whole game and finally won 84-64. After this battle, Türkiye won all four games, with a net victory of +95 points, surpassing Serbia to rank first in Group A.

Shin Kyung still performed well in this game. He played for 32 minutes, made 8 of 13 (2 of 3 three-pointers), made 3 free throws, scored 21 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 break and 1 hat, plus or negative value +22. After this game, Shin Kyung set a record. He became the first person to score 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the Men's Basketball European Cup in the past 30 years.

Let's take a look at these 3 games. In addition to today's 21 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, Shen Jing scored 9 of 13 shots in the last game (versus Portugal) and scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, leading the team to win 41 points, and in the last game (versus the Czech Republic), 8 of 9 shots (versus 9 rebounds and 9 assists), leading the team to win 14 points. Only in the first game (versus Latvia) Shin Kyung failed to achieve 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. In that game, he scored 16 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

Shen Jing averaged 20 points, 8.8 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game in four European Cup games, with a shooting percentage of 68.1%, and averaging positive and negative values ​​+19 per game, showing dominance. Seeing Shin Jing's performance, the Rockets management and Rockets fans will be very happy. The Rockets completed the strengthening of the lineup this summer. Although they lost Jaylen Green and Dillon, they introduced Durant, Finney Smith and Capela, and the team's ceiling has been greatly improved. But if the Rockets want to compete for the championship, Shin Kyung must grow further and he must have the ability to compete with other top inside players.

Shin Kyung's performance in the European Cup now proves a fact: he has grown up this summer, and Shin Kyung now has no way to defend alone, but if he doubles him, he has the ability to pass on his teammates, so the Turkish team can win all four games. If Shin Kyung can maintain this level in the NBA in the new season, then the Rockets' championship will have a chance.
