Shin Kyung said the Warriors have many small moves in the playoffs

Shen Jing is currently preparing for the European Championship with the Turkish national team, performing well in the warm-up match with Germany, scoring 25 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 of 11 shots, which is very efficient. Moreover, Rockets head coach Uduka also went to watch the game, which shows that he still attaches great importance to him.

However, in the interview after the game, Shin Kyung talked about some things about the Warriors last season's playoffs. He said: "There is no doubt that the Warriors have a lot of experience in the playoffs. The opposite is that we have many talents to play in the playoffs for the first time. This is very important, but some players in the game have a lot of small moves, many of them are fouls, but the referees often turn a blind eye. This is very common in the playoffs because the intensity is there."

"But the Warriors often complain a lot, and they even feel that the referees are not biased towards them, and then turn the tables, thinking that we are the side that makes a profit."

Shin Kyung should be talking about Green. Green did make Shin Kyung defending very uncomfortable last season's playoffs. Green himself is experienced, and he is not afraid of inside players who are as slow and unstable as Shin Kyung. In addition to Shen Jing's defense, the frame protection is very average, so Uduka relies more on Adams in the inside. But Kerr also had tricks, scoring Adams in various ways, and Curry and Butler played, and the Rockets lost to the Warriors 3-4 and were eliminated in the first round. There is still a lot of controversy between the Rockets and the Warriors in the first round. Many people say Butler is too good at creating free throws, and even gave the nickname "Feedle". However, the Rockets lost the game and it was because of their own offense. No one could score at critical moments. Green and VanVleet were both in a timely manner and their performance was particularly unstable.

In addition, the Rockets' defense against Curry is also very controversial. Almost all the whole game are guarded, and then they change defenses without limit and hold close-fitting defense, and hold various waists. If you really want to worry about this, the Rockets will also have many fouls. So, if you lose, you lose, there is no reason.

Shin Kyung averaged 36.6 minutes per game in this round of series, and averaged 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.9 steals, 0.4 blocks, 45.0% shooting percentage, 37.5% of three-point shooting percentage, and 62.5% of free throw percentage. The data is really gorgeous, but the effect on the court can only be said to be average. He should be the Rockets' strong point in the match. The Warriors are very weak inside. In addition, Cole likes to use five small lineups very much, so Shin Kyung should score these balls themselves, and it can even be said that they were given by the Warriors.

The Rockets' lineup will add Durant's strength next season. If you meet the Warriors, you should have an advantage. It depends on whether the Rockets can make the advantage. People often tease Uduka, saying that he has never won Kohl. He lost the championship to the Warriors when he was in the Celtics, and lost again in the playoffs last year. I wonder if I will win a game next season?
