Durant: Uduka understands me, I like the Rockets style, joining the Rockets is the right decision

The Houston Rockets had daily training during training camp before. During this period, the team's new forward Kevin Durant was interviewed by a sideline reporter. In the interview, he also talked about the team's head coach Ime Udoka, his feelings about becoming a member of the Rockets and the team's style.

When talking about head coach Uduka, Durant said: Uduka has always been the kind of head coach who can understand my abilities, my mentality and how I play. He always respects everything about me and gives me plenty of space to be myself on the field. When talking about his feelings about being a member of the Rockets, Durant continued: I felt this feeling very natural when I became a member of the Houston Rockets team for the first time and walked into the Toyota Center Arena. I have always respected the coaching staff of this team, the fans of this team, the state and even the city, so my feelings tell me that joining this team is the right decision. When talking about the Rockets' style and style of play, Durant added: The Rockets' style of play is of great significance to me, and I also hope to play this style of play, use my own height and body shape to complete the score in the game, and create a threat to the opponent through offense and defense conversions and breakthroughs.

In the NBA regular season last season, Durant made a total of 62 appearances for the Phoenix Suns, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 43%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%. Durant showed quite good personal abilities last season. He has excellent offensive efficiency and scoring ability on the offensive end. He is still an excellent scorer, and he also has certain passing ability and support ability. However, Durant did not help the Suns make a breakthrough in the record, and the team did not even enter the playoffs, which seemed a bit outrageous.

In a deal this summer, the Rockets sent Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and a first-round pick and got Durant from the Suns. The Rockets chose to get Durant through the trade, and they also hope to use Durant's experience to help this young team improve the overall competitiveness of the team. The Rockets exposed the lack of experience in the playoffs last season, and the team lacked a reliable scorer to complete the task at critical moments. I wonder how the situation will develop after Durant joins the team. Can he help the Rockets make a breakthrough during the playoffs?
