Champion + contract arrived! 37-year-old veteran with no desire? Mentoring new rocket players is his greatest wish

Jeff Green is an experienced veteran who has played in the NBA for more than a dozen seasons. He has played for a variety of teams, including the Celtics, SuperSonics, Grizzlies, Magic, Rockets, Nets and Nuggets. Last season next to Nuggets center Jokic, Jeff Green even won a championship. But the 37-year-old doesn't want to retire, he still wants to stay in the league and get another big contract.

As a seasoned player, Jeff Green's understanding and use of basketball skills is quite good. In addition to scoring and defending, he has an excellent core temperament and management skills. He has excellent three-point shooting, free throw percentage, and rebounding ability. Therefore, the Rockets decided to sign him in the hope that he could play a bigger role on the team. Although 16 million in 2 years is slightly expensive, the Rockets need this kind of championship-level veteran.

So, after Jeff Green came to the Rockets, was his main job helping newcomers? This is not the case. Although Jeff Green is an experienced veteran, he is not a player whose main goal is to bring the old with the new. His main job is not to help newcomers grow, but to use his experience and ability to make a greater contribution to the team. The Rockets' playoff goals also rely on the help and assistance of Green and other veterans.

Of course, while helping newcomers, he will also try his best to share his experience and skills with young players to help them adapt to the pace and requirements of the NBA game faster.

In fact, Jeff Green's main role with the Rockets is to provide the team with more fighting power. In the playoffs, the Rockets need more scoring points and defensive players to deal with the onslaught of opponents. Jeff Green's arrival solved this problem just that. He was able to play a bigger role in the game and provide more help and support to the team.

But Jeff Green also comes with his own "young player mentor" attributes, and although Jeff Green came to the Rockets to play and win, according to his own account, the Rockets' young players are "very studious" and often ask him questions. The enthusiastic Green also told the truth, saying that one of the purposes of his coming to the Rockets is to help as many young players as possible. It seems that with a new contract and a championship, Green's biggest wish is probably to coach the Rockets' young players.

A 37-year-old veteran with a big contract, a career that has seen all kinds of scenery in the league, and won a championship ring last season, Jeff Green's idea is simple, he still wants to leave something in the league when he is about to retire. For example, the players who coached the Rockets gave the young players their own shadow, and when Jeff Green retired, his "shadow" remained in the league, which is a great treat for a veteran who is almost 40 years old. Although Jeff Green doesn't admit it, his mark as a mentor to the Rockets' young players is getting deeper and deeper.
