Signing with the Rockets in 1 year of 3.1 million! Houston aims to win the championship? The new defender shows off directly, highlighting high emotional intelligence

Although the Thunder were the defending champions of last season and also renewed their contracts with their Big Three Chet, Alexander and Jaylen Williams with a maximum salary this offseason, it has to be said that the Thunder are not as strong as having no opponents. After all, in the finals, the Pacers forced them into a tiebreak battle. The Thunder are too young, and it seems that whether they can defend their title next season is still unknown.

There are many teams in the Western Conference that can directly threaten the Thunder's position, such as the Rockets who got Durant, the Nuggets who got Valanciunas and Cameron Johnson, and even the Lakers who got Ayton and Smart, also have good strength. After the Clippers got famous players like Bradley Bill, Paul, Dalow, and Collins, their overall strength also increased rapidly.

So, next season, no less than four teams in the Western Conference will pose a threat to the Thunder, and the Houston Rockets are regarded as the super strong team second only to the Thunder. After all, they got Durant and signed Capela and Finney Smith. Today, July 23, the Rockets made new moves. According to reports, the Rockets signed former Hornets swingman Okogie with a basic salary of 3.1 million yuan a year.

26-year-old Okogi is good at attacking and defending, and he is very active on the defensive end. Although Okogi is not a star guard, he is one of the puzzles that the Rockets need most to win the championship, and he also makes the Rockets' backcourt choices more. Once Holiday and Shepard perform poorly, Okogie can go up and try it out. After all, he is not only experienced, but also has good strength.

Okoji must have been very happy and excited after learning that he joined the Rockets. After getting the Rockets' contract of 3.1 million yuan per year, Okogie wrote directly on his social media: "Houston, we are in trouble now." In other words, in Okogie's opinion, after he joined, the Rockets' last shortcomings were also made up. No matter how many teams meet the Rockets next season, it will be difficult for them to win, and even the defending champion Thunder, the Thunder, did not have the confidence to win when they meet the Rockets.

After all, the Rockets have strengthened their shortcomings, that is offense; on the defensive end, the Rockets have also signed several extremely capable defensive experts this summer, such as Okogi and Finney Smith on the front line, and even Cameron Matthews signed with training camp contracts, and Capela in the inside is a rim protection expert in the league.

When it comes to offense, the Thunder may have an advantage, but if it comes to defense alone, the Rockets are one of the best in the entire league. Okogie can show off directly, which can imply that the Rockets are aimed at the championship, which is enough to highlight his high emotional intelligence. After all, after joining the Rockets, he wants to quickly integrate into the team, and now he has begun to speak to the Rockets. It can be said that although Okogi is not a big star, he has extremely high emotional intelligence and is willing to join the Rockets and play for the Rockets, which is enough.
