Robertson's words couldn't help but cause an uproar in the media, is this too premature? The season has only just begun, with only two regular season games played, and how many players in history have been able to play vigorously at the beginning of the season, but then the performance will slowly decline.

However, some experts have made a detailed analysis of Ding Hongxing's skills, and they say that Ding Hongxing's offensive skills are very comprehensive, he can shoot in all offensive positions, there are no dead ends, and the shooting rate in all areas is more than 50%, which is a terrifying data.
Ding Hongxing is fast, explosive, and has excellent physical fitness, which makes him super efficient when he breaks through the impact of the inside, either directly or causes fouls on the free throw line, he also has a super high basketball IQ, when he encounters a strong defense, he can make a stop-and-go jump shot, can throw a small throw, or use the European step to shake the opponent to the basket, and can also pull the rod to avoid the block and then go to the basket, which makes him rarely blocked by the opponent inside.
Ding Hongxing's passing is also very good, whether it is a pass in the fast break, or a blocking pass in the positional battle, or a breakthrough ball, he is very skillful, sometimes he can play sexually, he will also use some fancy passes that make fans scream to please the fans, and he dribbles well, controls the field very steadily, and reacts super fast, the ball in his hand, it is basically impossible to make a mistake, his only mistake in the first two games, or was blown an offensive foul when he had a physical confrontation with the opponent in the front court, And judging from the slow motion after the game, this penalty is very debatable.
Ding Hongxing's rebounding ability is also amazing, his ability to grab rebounds is reminiscent of Barkley and Rodman, these two are representatives of short rebounding kings, their height is similar to Ding Hongxing, but they can always grab rebounds on the heads of those big men with their super strength and keen rebounding sense, Ding Hongxing's strength belongs to the top one, when defending, he can defend the opponent's interior line and the strength is not inferior, when the opponent shoots, he can be in a good position, occupy a favorable position to win the backcourt rebound, In the battle for rebounds in the front court, he is familiar with the shooting habits of his own players, and has a rough judgment of where the rebound will collapse, and then he can rely on his reflexes, power and bounce to get the rebound in the front court.
Ding Hongxing's defensive ability is also super strong, thanks to his super physical fitness, his quick reactions, hand speed and good anticipation allow him to easily break those poorly protected dribbles, and his bounce, arm span and anticipation allow him to be an excellent help blocker, if anyone wants to throw a pull-up jump shot in front of him, they must also be prepared to be blocked by him.
His offensive and defensive skills are so well-rounded, and his physical strength is super strong, and he won't get tired after playing the entire 48 minutes, so how can his stats not be luxurious?
After a detailed analysis, it was concluded that Ding Hongxing is likely to maintain such luxurious data for a long time, unless he suddenly hits the rookie wall and becomes very sluggish.
The Rockets' style of play is also leading the new trend of the league, that is, they have turned the three-point shot into an important offensive means for the team, in the past NBA teams, the most important offensive means are mid-range shooting and basket offense, three-point shooting is not the conventional offensive means of many teams, often only when they need to chase points or have little offensive time to shoot three-pointers, and the three-point shooting does not account for much of the entire league.
Just last season, in the Rockets' game, the main offensive means was the singles of the Big Three, and it was mainly singles under the basket, and then mixed with some mid-range shots and air cuts, and there were very few people who could shoot three-pointers.
But this season, among the five members of the Rockets' starting lineup, except for center Olajuwon, they are all players with strong three-point shooting ability, and nearly one-third of their shots are three-point shots, which is a high proportion in this era.
Among the bench players of the Rockets, the current Jackson and Bell are standard 3D players, with their status, the team will not arrange too many singles for them, their task is to work hard to defend, and then run out of the open position in the offense, waiting for Ding Hongxing's pass, shoot three-point shots, and Barry is also an excellent three-point shooter, therefore, whether it is the main force or the bench, under the dominance of Ding Hongxing, it often rains three-point rain without saying a word.
The Rockets' three-point shot is not only a means of scoring, but also strategic, in the past, due to the overall singles style of the league, most of the team's defensive tactics are also shrinking the basket, which makes the space for interior players and outside players to break through is also very small, making it difficult to attack inside, and a large number of three-point shots on the outside line have caused the Rockets' opponents to have to expand the defensive area, so that the Rockets' interior players and outside players have more space to break through and play easier.
This is a tactic that transcends the times, of course, such tactics need to be implemented, and there are also players who can implement this tactic, Ding Hongxing found players who have both defense and three-point players, and the three-point shooting rate is not low, plus he has a super ability to dominate the ball, playing this tactic is like a fish in water.
After playing the game against the Jazz, the Rockets returned to their home court at Compaq Center to face the Orlando Magic, who traded Penny Hardaway to the Phoenix Suns this season, and their roster was completely civilian, without an All-Star player, such a team naturally couldn't resist in the face of the Rockets' three-point rain, and they swallowed a heavy defeat of 83-114.
Ding Hongxing only played 36 minutes, scored 31 points, 12 boards, 16 assists, 6 steals and 3 blocks, and scored a triple-double for the third consecutive game, and the Rockets also won three consecutive wins.
Next, the Houston Rockets will play the Los Angeles Lakers back-to-back home and away, these two games are very eye-catching, because the Los Angeles Lakers have been extremely strong this season, they have the big shark O'Neal on the inside, Kobe Bryant on the outside who is young but has been compared to Jordan, and they also have the All-Star level player Glenn. Rice, along with useful role players such as Fisher, Fox, A.C. Green, and former two-time Rockets champion Robert Horry, is the favorite to win the title this season.
In the first four games, the Lakers have won four in a row, and they and the Houston Rockets are the two best teams in the West, and this game can be called the top battle.
