The Houston Rockets are a team of young people, last season they had a record of 41 wins and 41 losses, ranked 11th in the West, and almost entered the play-offs, we have seen the progress of the Rockets, you must know that they are still messing up in the 22-23 season, after Udoka took office, the Rockets have been aiming for the playoffs, although they failed in the end, but the Rockets have also gained, such as there are many young people in the lineup, Jalen Green, Shen Jing, Ethan, Jabari, Amen and Whitmore, they are known as the Rockets' six less, unfortunately, The Rockets basically have some shortcomings in these young people, and the important thing is that Udoka wants to build a team around Shin Jing, but the management prefers Green.

Shen Jing's shortcomings are obvious, he has a strong ability to play singles under the basket, against the Spurs in the regular season, Shen Jing once bombarded 45 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals, and finished Wembanyama (10 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 7 blocks), and several times against Jokic, Shen Jing's data is not lagging behind, but Shen Jing's defense is not good, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800, so many Rockets fans don't like Shen Jing to become the cornerstone of the team, and it is not okay to have offense without defense. And Green's positioning is a super scorer, but he is extremely unstable, Green once went down to earth in March, and even was selected as the best of the week, but in April he was completely beaten back to his original form.

If you want to blame Green, you can only blame Green for not being angry, if his performance in April continues to be in March, and brings the Rockets into the play-offs, he may be able to impress Udoka, Rockets fans know very well that at the beginning of the season, Udoka established Shen Jing as the core, and his shots are the most on the team, Green, let alone the second master, sometimes the tactical position is not as good as Van Jordan, which is the reason why Green's performance continued to be sluggish in the first half of the season, and he couldn't play at all without the ball, or to put it another way, Green can only play dominantly when he has the ball, and he is nothing without the ball, and after Shin Jing fell down injured, Green who got the ball began to explode, and as a result, he fell into a slump again in April.

According to the latest reports, Jalen Green will be the biggest problem for the Rockets to solve in the offseason, and then, Matt Moore continued to say that the problem for the Rockets is whether Udoka will stand with Green, and if Udoka believes him, then the Rockets will keep him, otherwise, the Rockets will trade Green back to an experienced All-Star-caliber veteran, which is easy to understand, and Udoka has a showdown with Rockets management on the issue of choosing one of the two, You must not trade Shen Jing, and it is Green who wants to go, and Udoka's attitude is quite resolute this time.

Udoka likes Shin Kyung, the management is more optimistic about Green, the Rockets are in a dilemma, Shin Kyung and Green are both rookies in 2021, and they are also facing contract extensions this offseason, And the most can sign a 5-year $220 million super cap salary, if the two can enter the best team in the 24-25 season, then the contract will reach 5 years and $269 million, it is certain that the Rockets are basically impossible to give the two at the same time, with Udoka's tough attitude, Green has a high probability of becoming a victim, even if the two are given a top salary at the same time, Green will only be the second or third leader next season, and the tactical position is not as good as Shen Jing and Van Jordan.

Shen Jing has the title of "Little Jokic", the style of play is comprehensive, as early as the regular season, Udoka had said that Shen Jing is an incredible player, it is a luxury to have such a player, he can appear in different positions on the court, can do all kinds of things, the only player similar to Shen Jing is Jokic, once his shooting improves, he will open up a new world for the team and himself, the most important thing is that he needs to understand this problem and understand the team's response for him. It can also be seen from this that Udoka's emphasis on Shen Jing is really cultivated towards Jokic, compared to Green's instability, Udoka firmly believes that Shen Jing's defense will be easier to improve.

In fact, it is okay to keep Shen Jing and Green, the player that the Rockets need to clean up the most is Van Jordan, the shooting rate is unstable, the height is too short, it is easy to be targeted, and the ball is too lonely to play at critical moments, the important thing is to conflict with Amen Thompson's position, Van Jordan does not leave, Amen can only play as a substitute. What do we say is the ideal starting lineup for the Rockets? The answer is Amen + Green + Eason + Jabari + Shen Jing, and the available players on the bench are Dillon, Whitmore, Adams, Landale and Tate, and I don't know what the Rockets thought at the time, giving Van Jordan a big contract of $130 million for 3 years, and now I can't get rid of it.
