63 days away from the game! The Rockets show off a new lineup: 10-man team is ready to go, with only 1 weakness
6:05am, 7 August 2025【Basketball】
During this offseason, the Houston Rockets completed a very outstanding operation. To some extent, the Rockets' management, even the best performer this season.
The Rockets not only completed the contract renewal of head coach Uduka, but also renewed Van Vreet, Adams, Jabbarri Smith Jr., Aaron Holiday, Tate and Jeff Green at a very low price.
More importantly, the Rockets exchanged Kevin Durant from the Suns in a big deal. They finally had their own superstars and solved the stubborn disease of not having the ability to score last season. Although Durant is about to turn 37, judging from the efficiency and high-level data, Durant is still the top five in the league.
After experiencing a major injury to tear the Achilles tendon, Durant can still reliably relied on his soft touch and basketball IQ to play dominant data. His average shooting percentage of the game exceeded 50% last season and his three-point shooting percentage was above 40%. His replacement of Jaylen Green is undoubtedly a huge upgrade for the Rockets.
At the same time, the Rockets also played for the Lakers' 3D forward Finney Smith and former player Capela last season. The Rockets are now strong and have the most lineup depth in the league.
Many Rockets fans can't wait to see what the Rockets can perform in the new season. The Rockets media and journalists also feel the same way about this.
Two days ago, Rockets reporter Bradeaux posted a news on social media, revealing the team's new lineup.
Bradeaux captioned it: "The Rockets' game is 64 days... only two months away." The players in the picture include: Fred VanVreet, Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Jabbarry Smith Jr., Alperen Shinkin, Reed Shepard, Dorian Finney Smith, Tari Ethan, Clint Capela and Steven Adams.
In fact, in addition to these 10 players, there are Okogi, Holiday, Tate, and Old Green. These are also powerful in one battle. The Rockets' lineup depth is terrible. As long as the Rockets do not have major injuries in the new season, they will have the ability to wrestle with the Thunder Nuggets in the West. Their lineup is deep enough to deal with some minor injuries and ensure regular season record and ranking. In the playoffs, Durant is the stage for his performance. The only weakness of the Rockets lineup is Shepard. Although Shepard is a Tanhua, he is strong in offense and weak in defense, which is somewhat incompatible with the Rockets' system. More importantly, judging from last season and this summer league, Shepard did not play the offensive performance he deserves.
Now, except for Van Vreet and Shepard, the Rockets only have one point guard, which still has a big hidden danger. If Shepard cannot perform well in the new season, then the Rockets' point guard position can only rely on VanVleet alone. Once Van Jordan has an injury problem, the Rockets' backcourt will really be in great trouble. The Rockets' regret this year was that they failed to sign old point guard Paul. Paul eventually joined the Clippers. If there was a veteran organization like Paul on the Rockets' bench, this team would definitely become a favorite to win the championship.
Now, the Rockets' lineup has basically been finalized. Let's see if this team can perform better than last season under Uduka's leadership. In Durant's peak period, I hope they can succeed!
