Averaged 8 assists per game! Center turned into point guard? Shen Jing took the initiative to transform! Claiming that one person can play 5 positions

The Rockets are in urgent need of point guards, but everyone has seen the performance of several point guards in the 4 preseason games and is very relieved. Amen Thompson performed very well at the No. 1 position. He is also the Rockets' unshakable starting point guard in the new season. With VanVleet missing due to injury and reimbursed for the season, Amen Thompson will become the Rockets' main candidate at the No. 1 position in the new season. He should not make a cameo at the No. 3 or No. 4 position.

Although Amen Thompson is more suitable for the power forward position, the Rockets need him to serve as a point guard. Amen Thompson should also have a first-class performance in this position. After all, he has been the Rockets' point guard during his rookie season. Now he is just returning to his old position, and Amen Thompson will be very adaptable.

In fact, the Rockets' three point guards Shepard, Aaron Holiday and Davidson also performed well in the preseason. They can shoot three-pointers, defend, and have good passing abilities. Although not as comprehensive as VanVleet, these point guards seem to be able to replace VanVleet and support the No. 1 position together. In fact, in addition to these point guards, the Rockets also have a super passer and offensive player. He is the Rockets' 23-year-old star center Alpayton Shenjing. As the Rockets' only All-Star center last season, Shen Jing averaged 5 assists per game in the regular season and playoffs last season.

In the new season, the Rockets have added super scorer Durant and super shooter Finney Smith. Players such as Okogie and Capela also have good pie-eating abilities. Therefore, Shen Jing's assists per game should be greatly improved in the new season. In fact, in the 4 preseason games, Shen Jing performed quite well in passing, and his passing ability is now comparable to that of super center Jokic.

In the 4 preseason games, Shen Jing averaged about 8 assists per game. In the second game against the Jazz, Shen Jing sent out 13 assists in a single game. He also became the Rockets' preseason assist king, averaging much more assists per game than players such as Shepard and Amen Thompson.

From center to point guard, it seems that Shen Jing will take the initiative to transform. Even in an interview, Rockets center Shen Jingdu directly stated that he could bear part of the responsibility for organizing the offense. Shen Jing directly showed off that he is capable of playing any position. Last season, he sometimes took on the task of controlling the ball and advancing. Now his task is even heavier. He can handle the ball well, and he can also help his teammates more, such as creating scoring opportunities for them, finding the most suitable passing objects, and he can also easily create scoring opportunities.

This is Shen Jing's active transformation. Although his position is still a center or power forward, in a sense, he needs to hold the ball in his hands for a long time and deliver the ball to his teammates in open positions, allowing them to score easily.

Shen Jing has this ability. Whether in this year's European Championship or in this season's preseason, Shen Jing has no shortcomings in this regard. Shen Jing himself said that he can play all positions. In other words, in Shen Jing's own opinion, in addition to center and point guard, he can also serve as power forward, just like the role he plays in a big lineup. He can even make guest appearances at shooting guard and small forward positions.

In addition to Shen Jing, the Rockets also have Amen Thompson, Tate and other players who claim to be able to play five positions each. Even veteran superstar Kevin Durant is such a player. With so many versatile players, the Rockets will indeed look more like a champion in the new season.
