52 points + 14 rebounds + 20 assists + 7 steals! The Rockets Big Three are underestimated, Durant wants to renew his contract in advance

The US media SBNation selected the Top 10 of the Big Three in the new season. The details are as follows: the Thunder's SGA + Jaylen Way + Cutt topped the list, the Nuggets' Jokic + Murray + Gordon ranked second, and the Lakers' LeBron James + Luka + Reeves ranked third, with Nos. 4-10 respectively. It’s the Cavaliers’ Mitchell + Garland + Mobley Jr., the Knicks’ Brunson + Towns + Anunoby, the Rockets’ Durant + Shen Jing + Amen, the Magic’s Benqueiro + Watts + Bane, the Timberwolves’ Huazi + Gobert + Randle, the Warriors’ Curry + Butler + Dream Chaser, and the Clippers’ Kawhi + Harden + Zubac. Wen Wu is first and Wu Wu is second. Every list is controversial. The Thunder's three giants ranking first is the most basic respect for the defending champions. However, it is surprising that the Rockets' three giants Durant + Shen Jing + Amen only ranked seventh.

In the preseason game between the Jazz and the Rockets, Durant made his Rockets career debut, and the Rockets' three giants Durant, Shen Jing and Amen officially merged. In this game, the two teams will fight to the end. The Jazz scored 20 three-pointers with a 44.4% shooting rate, and the Rockets responded by throwing in 13 three-pointers with a 38.2% shooting rate. The Rockets took advantage of the penalty area to the extreme, outrebounding their opponents 47-35, outrebounding their opponents 19-9, outscoring their opponents 68-46 in the paint, and outscoring their opponents 26-13 in their second offense. In the end, the Rockets defeated the Jazz 140-127.

From trailing by 10 points to leading by 16 points, and then easily defeating their opponents by 13 points, the Rockets were united, with 7 players scoring in double figures, and a victory as a gift for Durant's debut. Especially the big three of Durant, Shen Jing, and Amen, together they scored 52 points + 14 rebounds + 20 assists + 7 steals, carrying the team on both offense and defense! Shen Jing played 27 minutes, 5 of 8, 3 of 3 free throws, 13 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 4 steals, and only 1 turnover. Shen Jing looks more and more like Jokic in revitalizing the team, and he is already very good at handling the ball after attracting double teams. Rockets reporter Bradeaux pointedly pointed out: Shen Jing scored 32 points, 10 rebounds and 19 assists in two preseason games with only 2 turnovers, which is simply outrageous. With Durant on the outside and Amen and Capela on the cut, Shen Jing's average of 8 assists per game in the new season will definitely not be a problem. He can make the best team if he plays like this.

Amen played 25 minutes, made 9 of 15 shots (1 of 1 three-pointers), contributed 19 points + 7 rebounds + 6 assists + 2 blocks + 1 steal, and made only 1 turnover. Amen was already the best defensive member of the year last season, and his aggressiveness on the defensive end does not need to be described too much. Now that Van Jordan is injured, Amen not only assumes more leading defense tasks, but also assumes a large number of point guard responsibilities. He also completes them beautifully, truly becoming an all-round warrior. When Amen makes up for his shortcomings in organization and three-pointers, combined with his terrifying athletic ability, he becomes a monster on the court and looks more and more like a superstar.

Durant had a small test in his debut. He played 23 minutes, made 7 of 10 shots (1 of 2 three-pointers), 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 20 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal. Durant has come to his comfort zone, and his work has become easier. He can easily do what he does best: score! After missing all his first three shots, Durant scored seven goals in a row and scored a team-high 20 points. Rockets reporter Bradaux couldn't help but sigh: It's been a long time since I've seen a Rockets player score 20 points so easily. Durant is like a cheat code. Uduka also made it clear in an interview. He said bluntly: Durant is our key man, the terminator!

It has to be said that the Rockets' Big Three of Durant + Shen Jing + Amen are underestimated. Shen Jing is a Jokic-level inside master, Amen is a swingman who combines offense and defense, and Durant is an out-and-out scoring machine. The Rockets' Big Three are naturally adapted and have unlimited potential. They are the Rockets' basic base for the championship. Durant said bluntly in an interview: We can play more coordination, we will continue to work hard to realize our potential, and look forward to winning more victories. According to NBA reporter Shams, sources revealed that Durant and the Rockets must reach an early contract extension before the start of the regular season. The two parties can sign a maximum salary contract of 122 million US dollars for two years, and Durant may take a salary cut! Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
