Since joining the Rockets through the draft four years ago, Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung have been the Rockets' internal and external dual cores. Shin Kyung has now grown into a Western Conference All-Star Center. But unfortunately, compared with Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung, his offensive stability and clinical performance are obviously far behind. Seeing the outstanding performance of 2021 players such as Cunningham and Mobley in the playoffs, and looking at the performance of Jaylen Green in the Rockets in the seven games of the playoffs, we will know how small the Rockets' second-tier performance was.

Although Jaylen Green can occasionally score beautiful numbers in the regular season and even become the Western Conference Player of the Week, in a tough game like the playoffs, Jaylen Green's performance is obviously unsatisfactory, or rather disappointing. Among the 7 games, only 38 points were scored in the second game, which was considered normal performance. Jaylen Green's performance in the remaining games can be said to be far inferior to expectations. Compared with Shin Kyung, Jaylen Green's performance was extremely poor. Even among the 8-man rotation of the Rockets' playoffs, Jaylen Green was the worst performer.

In the offseason, Jaylen Green should have been stimulated by the playoffs to train her physical fitness and practice defense and shooting. However, in the offseason, Jaylen Green of the Rockets did not take the initiative to participate in training, but immediately went on vacation with his girlfriend after the Rockets were eliminated.

, and another Rockets star Alperon Shin Kyung was different. He began to engage in training. In the strength room, Shin Kyung could be said to be sweating profusely and practiced happily. Compared with Jaylen Green, Shin Kyung did not go on vacation and relax the first time. In fact, compared with the two players, Shin Kyung's performance in the playoffs is still very good, averaging 21 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists per game. He is the most reliable player in the Rockets' inside and the core of the Rockets' playoffs.

Jaylen Green is much inferior in comparison. Although Jaylen Green is the Rockets' scoring champion in the regular season, Shin Kyung averaged only 19 points per game, but in the playoffs, Jaylen Green could not crack the Warriors' strict defense. Although Shin Kyung often faces double-teams, he can not only shoot and score by himself, but also pass the ball to his teammates on the outside, so that they can easily score. So in terms of tactical status and playoff performance, Shin Kyung is obviously ahead of Jaylen Green.

Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung can be said to be the two core members of the Rockets. They have been competing openly and secretly for who is the star of the Rockets. Obviously, now we can see that in terms of spiritual attributes, Shin Kyung obviously beats 23-year-old Jaylen Green. Jaylen Green was originally the Rockets' worst performer in the playoffs, but he did not train well in the rare offseason to improve his shortcomings, but instead went on vacation as soon as possible.

It can be said that Jaylen Green is the worst performer in the game but has the most "spending" in vacation. The Rockets are still trusting Jaylen Green and don’t want to trade him. I wonder why the Rockets’ management has such a thought? But judging from the performance of the two in the offseason, it is obvious who is the Rockets' star. Shin Kyung beat Jaylen Green in terms of personal ability and spiritual attributes.

It is not that Jaylen Green cannot relax or go on vacation, but after the Rockets are eliminated, he should really reflect and train carefully before going on vacation. This is the choice of normal people.
