In his first regular season game, he scored 39 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. Shen Jing became the first player in history! As a result, the Rockets still suffered a penalty kill in double overtime, and the four generals were to blame.

The Rockets were defeated by free throws in double overtime.

After a short break, the NBA opener officially began. The Rockets went away to challenge the defending champion Thunder. Durant witnessed his old team receive last season's championship ring. In addition, the Rockets fully strengthened their ambitions to compete for the championship. The two teams were full of intensity.

The regular time game continued until the decisive moment. Durant made 1 of 2 key free throws, and Alexander made a throw to drag the game into overtime.

In the first overtime, Shen Jing's self-shooting, grabbing and dunking dragged the game into the second overtime. At the decisive moment, Shen Jing made a key layup to go ahead by one point. Durant made a fatal foul, Alexander made two free throws and the buzzer beater, and Xiaojia missed a mid-range buzzer beater. The Rockets missed the Thunder by one point at 124-125 and missed a good start.

Shen Jingcheng became the first player in history

Although the Rockets lost the opening game, the inside core Shen Jing broke out in the first game of the new season, using actions to prove that his impressive performance in the European Championships in the offseason was no accident.

Shen Jing fought hard for a game-high 48 minutes, shooting 12 of 24, 5 of 8 three-pointers, scoring 39 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. When the team lost, he posted a game-high plus-minus of +9, and was the savior at critical moments.

With this performance, Shen Jing became the first center in NBA history to score at least 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in the opening game and hit 5 three-pointers. He was also the first player in Rockets history to score at least 39 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists in the opening game.

In addition, hitting 5 three-pointers in a single game also set Shen Jing's personal record for three-pointers in a single game. Previously, he had hit 3 three-pointers in a single game twice, which shows that he has undergone a comprehensive transformation.

4 people are to blame

Why did the Rockets lose their first show when Shen Jing played so bravely? The four generals are to blame

The first one to bear the brunt is new aid Durant. As the core player that the team expects, Durant's performance in his first show against his old team did not meet expectations.

Although they continued to force the ball on the offensive end and tried their best on the defensive end, scoring 23 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, continuous mistakes at critical moments directly led to the Rockets missing out on victory again and again. First, they made one of two free throws at the end of regular time, giving Asia Alexander had a perfect chance, and then called a timeout when the team did not take a timeout at the last moment of the first overtime. Fortunately, the referee did not see it, otherwise he would have directly received a T and sent the opponent a free throw to win. Finally, Alexander was fouled at the last moment of the second overtime, and the latter made two free throws to kill the Rockets.

The second is coach Uduka. With an offensive nuclear weapon like Durant, he obviously did not arrange specific offensive tactics for him. The whole team was in disarray on the offensive end.

Poor offensive tactical arrangements caused Durant to fight hard for 47 minutes, but was unable to receive the ball in the key round, wasting Durant's absolute offensive strength.

The other two are Shepard and Ethan. The former has high hopes after Van Jordan was seriously injured. Shepard is bound to play an important role before the trade deadline.

Unfortunately, in this crucial head-to-head encounter in the first show, Sheppard's performance was a disaster. He only made 3 of 11 shots in the game. He had no organizational ability on the offensive end, and his shooting was not trustworthy. On the defensive end, he was frequently passed by one step, completely unable to match the intensity of the game.

Uduka once abandoned Shepard during the game, but Amen had to withdraw due to calf cramps and had to use it again. The result was still abysmal, so at the last moment Uduka would rather use a lineup without a point guard than trust Shepard anymore.

Ethan, who refused to renew his contract with the Rockets in advance and wanted a big contract, was also a disaster in his first show. He made 1 of 6 shots from the field, only scored 3 points and 5 rebounds, and made 3 turnovers.

The offense and defense were completely outside the system, and various bizarre mistakes continued to occur. There seemed to be some mental problems.
