Basketball

I guess the Lakers are already crying! Rockets general manager Stone has another magical move, allowing the Rockets to directly join the discussion of the NBA championship!

The Rockets first introduced Durant to the entire league! Then, he welcomed the old player Capela for $21.5 million in three years, and left the frontcourt rebound monster Adams for 39 million in three years, making Van Vleet and Van Jordan willing to cut his salary by 10 million in five years, leaving Smith Jr. for 122 million in five years, and then grabbed Finney Smith for 53 million in four years! Now that another heavyweight player is going to be introduced, it can be said that the Rockets will take off directly next season.

The Rockets ranked second in the Western Conference with a record of 52 wins and 30 losses last season, and their performance was really good. But the playoffs exposed the huge problem of "Seven Sons in Houston". They could not score at critical moments, or there was no absolute helmman at critical moments. In the end, the Rockets lost in the tiebreak battle against the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs and missed the second round of the playoffs. The Rockets management also realized the impact of being too young on the team, so they immediately discussed the deal about Durant in the offseason, and finally Durant joined the Space City. Many fans questioned the competitive state and physical fitness of the 36-year-old Durant, who is not necessary. Today, the Rockets are all soldiers, which means Durant can play in the game for a shorter time, which is crucial to maintaining Durant's health and efficiency. Whose China Investment Corporation in the league today can compare with Durant?

Now, the Rockets have signed a heavyweight third player again after intercepting Lakers' former player Finney Smith. According to ESPN reporter Shams, free agent Josh Okogie reached an agreement with the Houston Rockets, who will join the Rockets for one year for $3.1 million. It is believed that fans are not strange to Okogie. He was sent to the Charlotte Hornets in Richards' trade last year. The Hornets told Okogie that he would not execute his contract during the offseason, and Okogie eventually became a free agent.

As of now, Okogi has played in the NBA for 8 years. This player who said at the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup that only knew Yao Ming in China is a defensive vanguard on the outside and also has good three-point ability. The key is that he is Durant's teammate, who was once loved by Durant. Now he joins the Rockets. Although his playing time cannot be guaranteed, he is definitely a key piece for head coach Uduka.

For this Rockets, they have two defensive experts, Finney Smith and Okogie on the outside, and Shen Jing is in the inside, plus standing centers Adams and Capela, the team's defense is different now. The Rockets are more specialized in offense, after all, one Durant can make scoring simple.

The Rockets today have the ability to compete for the championship. After the regular season starts, they first need the health of the players and use more reasonable rotations to give players more rest time. Especially Durant, if the team wants to win the championship, they must ensure their health.

Added top 3D, the Rockets' final championship puzzle is coming, with an annual salary of 3.1 million yuan, and Durant laughed again! Although Dillon Brooks has left, the Rockets now have two top 3D players, Okoge and Electric Fan, which is essential for the team to win the championship. The adversity of the playoffs is to fight offense and even more to defend! What do you think as a fan? Welcome to leave a message for communication!
