Uduka sets out on a mission for Shepherd. If you don t work hard, you are doomed to fail!

The Rockets played against the Mavericks. Looking at the score, the Rockets indeed narrowly defeated the Mavericks. However, anyone who has watched the game knows that the Rockets are here for training, especially after Jabari Smith Jr. was suspended from the last game due to an ankle sprain, and they completely sent out different lineups for experiments. Many people have seen the famous scene of the Lone Ranger Flagg training Shepherd, but they don't know that this was Uduka's intention.

As Rockets coach Uduka probably knows better than anyone else that without VanVleet, neither Okogie nor Shepherd will be able to face the league's top teams without being beaten by other backcourt players. Therefore, Uduka will deliberately let Shepherd face difficulties when encountering some mid-to-lower teams. You must know that both Nash and Chris Paul have become top backcourt players despite difficulties one after another, so the most important thing is for Shepherd to bravely accept difficulties and understand the gap between himself and others. Young players must be tougher on themselves to make themselves invincible in the future. Just like Van Fleet climbed from the bottom of the mountain to the top step by step!

For Shepherd, time is running out to prove himself. If there is still no improvement in the middle of the season, it is likely to say goodbye to the Rockets in the middle of the season!
