Start practicing! Jabarry Smith Jr. has started training and will definitely complete the transformation in the new season!

Recently, the training updates of the Houston Rockets' young forward Jabbarry Smith Jr. have attracted the attention of many fans and media. With the start of the offseason, this potential star, known as the "Rockets' Battery", has devoted himself to training, striving to complete the transformation in the new season and help the Rockets take off.

Smith Jr. has carried the team's high expectations since joining the Rockets as Tanhua in 2022. He is 2.11 meters tall, has excellent arm-span, and has both strong attacks in the inside and three-pointers from the outside. He is a typical space power forward under the modern basketball concept. In the first two seasons, Smith showed excellent three-point shooting ability, and his three-point shooting percentage was stable at 35%, becoming an important support point for the team's outside firepower. On the defensive end, he also actively competes for rebounds and uses his height and wingspan to interfere with opponents' shooting, which is an indispensable part of the team's defensive system.

However, Smith's growth journey was not smooth. Last season, he missed some games due to injury, which not only affected the improvement of his personal data, but also disrupted his integration into the team's tactical system. In some key games, Smith's performance also failed to meet the expectations of fans and coaches, which put him under a lot of pressure.

But Smith was not defeated by difficulties. At the beginning of the offseason, he quickly adjusted his state and turned on the high-intensity training mode. According to a reporter from the Rockets, Smith will conduct multiple hours of training in the training hall every day, covering multiple aspects such as three-point shooting, mid-range singles, foot movements, and strength training. In the three-point training, Smith sets himself an extremely high goal, completing hundreds of three-point shots every day, striving to further improve his three-point shooting percentage and shooting stability in the new season.

Rockets fans are full of expectations for Smith's transformation. In the comment section of the team's official social media, fans left messages to cheer him up: "Smith Jr., it depends on you in the new season. I look forward to you becoming an All-Star!" "I believe you will definitely overcome difficulties and lead the Rockets to victory!" At the same time, some professional basketball commentators also analyzed Smith's future development. They believe that if Smith can stay healthy in the new season and achieve breakthroughs in technology and mentality, he is fully capable of becoming the core player of the Rockets and leading the team to the playoffs.

The Rockets will face more fierce competition in the new season. But with a proactive young player like Smith Jr., the team's future is full of hope. Let us look forward to Smith's wonderful performance in the new season and witness his transformation and growth in Houston.
