How far can the Rockets go after Van Jordan falls? We will witness the rise of Amen or the transformation of Shepard.

How far can the Rockets go if guard Fan falls? Good luck and bad luck depend on each other. Maybe we will witness the rise of Amen or the transformation of Shepard, who knows? Worrying about things that haven't happened is, at best, planning for a rainy day, and at worst, worrying about things that haven't happened yet.
The season is long and the team may encounter various injuries, but Lao Fan just made the injuries happen earlier. Unlike injuries that occur during the season, the team has a lot of time to adjust and adjust, and will not be caught off guard. Is this also a blessing in misfortune? Anyway, I'm not too worried about the Rockets' record. On the contrary, I think the Rockets' games will become more interesting in the new season.
In fact, you can also think about it the other way around. VanVleet's injury accelerated the Rockets' championship. The probability of the Rockets competing for the championship this year is not high. With the arrival of new player Durant, the playing style needs to be changed and adjusted. The young players have not yet grown to be very important. It happened that VanVleet's injury accelerated the growth of Shepard and Amen's ball-handling ability. Shen Jing can also develop the ability to cooperate with Amen Shepard. The next two years are the best chance to compete for the championship. If we can reach the Western Conference Finals this year, it will be a great result.

I feel that the Rockets really want to put Shepard in the starting lineup. Whether it is the free media people, the current standstill, or the player interviews, I feel that Xiao Xie is going to be in the starting lineup. That is really an opportunity for Xiao Xie. To be honest, I am looking forward to it. I don’t think Shepard will be very good. As for whether he is worthy of the top prize status, it depends on Xiao Xie himself.
It is not good to directly train young people when they are injured. After training, they will have a better chance of competing for the championship. You also said that it is okay not to win this year. The main lineup can be maintained for a few years, and the growth of young people is more critical. Now there are sufficient reasons and time to train them. If the 25 million main healthy point guards are not used to train new players, Uduka will probably be scolded to death.
It’s not realistic either. Now that I’m better, I can directly increase my intensity. I’ve practiced to perfection in half a season. If I can’t practice enough, I give up trading and substituting. Things have become simpler. Shepard relies heavily on pick-and-rolls, which is very similar to Curry. As long as he can find a rhythm, Shepard has great scoring potential. As long as the defense can withstand being eaten alive, his steals and blocks are very strong for point guards in his position.

In order for the Rockets to win the championship, in addition to getting Durant and other high-quality contracts, they must also have young players grow rapidly so that the Rockets will be late for the rookie bonus. Many conditions must be met at the same time, not just some of them as you said. This is the preciousness of the championship. All conditions must be met instead of just one.
Can Shen Jing support the Rockets' organization? Judging from the high-end games of the playoffs, Shen Jing has 4.4 assists and Shen Jing 5.3. Van Jordan is more involved in outside catching and shooting roles (Can Sheppard do a good job in supporting). The organization aspect has declined compared to the regular season. If Van Jordan is not in the 1-5 pick-and-roll, the effect of the 1-5 pick-and-roll will be compromised. Amen and Shen Jing's high-post pick-and-roll players can take a step back.
It is difficult to play 1-5 pick-and-rolls in the new season. The probability of Amen's assists will not exceed 5. In the ideal state, 4.2-4.5 are still ghosts. Shen Jing takes another 40% of Fan Jordan's organizational tasks. Shen Jing's assists in the new season are 6+, Durant takes 30%, averaging about 3.8 assists per game, Amen takes 20%, and the other 10% is taken by Shepard, averaging 2.5 assists per game.

When the Rockets play three highs, they don't really need organization. They just need to shoot and grab. Amen Durant has no problem dribbling the ball through the half. In the middle of the season, I think Capela or Sheppard can be traded for air, and Beasley can be signed directly using the injury exception.
The three-high lineup mainly focuses on the high and low positions, and does not need to run too many tactics. If Shenjing holds the ball in the high position and the opponent's inside is too tight, this point can be broken directly. Sheppard observed for half a season. If he can complete the dribbling through half the court and receive 36+ three-pointers, the defensive end can use his own steals and blocks to protect himself. The plus-minus score will not be too ugly and can still be used. fvv's power plan will first divide Shen Jing, Amen, Adu and Xiaoxie equally, and then focus on whichever player is better except Adu, with the capable ones going up and the weak ones going down. The players produced in this way are malleable talents.
