Lose the Clippers! Shepard scored 28 points and couldn t save his master, Chandler s fatal mistake became a pity

Rockets fans have been worried about whether rookies can withstand the pressure recently, especially for a tandem like Shepard.

Summer United played against the Clippers on July 12. Although the Rockets lost 92-95 in the end, he scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 breaks and 3 caps in the whole game, and the data bar was full.

This guy seems to have really put in hard work in the battle. After gaining weight, he has a lot of defense. He has no ambiguity in stealing and blocking, which is more reliable than in the summer league last year.

Now, looking at the Rockets' operations, I sent Dillon and Green away, and got Durant and other big guys, which obviously gave Shepard the position.

He played against the Clippers' core rotation level player in this game. He threw 6 three-pointers into it, and he could lock people on the defensive end. It's not unreasonable for Uduka to make him the sixth person - it needs a tough character who can change the rhythm immediately.

However, in the last few minutes, he left the court with a calf strain. He still has to worry about his health. After all, the intensity of Xia Lian has not reached the regular season level.

The Rockets lost in this game because they didn't bite the key goal, but Shepard proved that he could fight a tough battle. After gaining weight, the confrontation will be increased, and both offense and defense can affect the game.

depends on the subsequent development. If you can maintain health, the role of the sixth person will be enough for him to play.

The current lineup configuration has definitely increased expectations for him.
