On August 13, Beijing time, according to Rockets reporter Kelly Iko, Rockets guard Jalen Green held a player-only mini-training camp in Los Angeles this week, with players including his teammates Shin Jing, Shepard, Jabari Smith Jr., Amen Thompson and others.

Bradeaux, another Rockets reporter, said that this is the leadership you would like to see in Green, a fourth-year player, great news.

Over the past week, several Rockets players have been working out in Houston for the offseason. Shen Jing, Smith, Ethan, Amen Thompson, Van Vleet and others appeared in the official training photos. Among them, Shin Kyung has visibly become stronger, and he underwent rigorous training in Turkey this summer.

Bradeaux is looking forward to the new season for the Rockets. He posted the predicted 10-man rotation lineup on social media-

Starters: VanVleet, Green, Dillon, Smith and Shin Jing;

Subs: Amen, Shepard, Whitmore, Eason and Adams.

Bradeux also said: "The Rockets are the strongest 'sleepers' in the 2024-25 season, and they will surprise a lot of people. ”

Last season, the Rockets have made significant improvements. They have a 41-41 record, 19 more regular-season wins than they did in 2022-23, and while ultimately failing to qualify for the playoffs in the competitive West, the young Rockets have given fans hope. They were particularly strong in March, with a 13-2 record.

The addition of Shepard has improved the Rockets' projection ability in the new season, how far can they go this time? Can you return to the playoffs? Let's wait and see.
