After taking Durant, the Rockets and Yu Liang chase Antetokounmpo. Should we fight a bicycle and turn it into a motorcycle?

So far this summer, the happiest teams are the Rockets. The former has won the first championship in team history, while the latter has won the cornerstone of Durant, while retaining 90% of high-value assets. The slightest loss also gave the Rockets greater ambition - chasing Antetokounmpo.

After getting Durant, will the Rockets still have surplus food to chase Antetokounmpo? The answer is yes. Not only are there 8 first-round picks available among the Rockets nowadays, but there are also many talented young people such as Shin Kyung, Amen Thompson, Jabarry Smith Jr., Ethan, Shepard, etc. that can be placed on the shelves.

As long as the Rockets boss nods and the Bucks management allows the Rockets to provide quotations, Stone can randomly combine existing resources, provide at least three quotation plans for the Bucks, and can achieve any plan that can impress the Bucks management. The only question is - should the Rockets fight a bicycle and turn it into a motorcycle, and what about the frontcourt dual cores of Antetokounmpo + Durant?

Although the duo of Antetokounmpo + Durant looks very strong, it is also very cool to have two super giants in their play. But for the Rockets at present, the safest plan is to maintain the status quo and not make big moves.

First of all, it is because the external environment is changing. All teams with huge numbers of teams were eliminated this year's playoffs, and the strength of each position is more balanced, and the teams with deeper lineups go further. The championship Thunder is only one super giant, but there are many stars with quasi-super giant strength. This shows that the NBA's current teaming strategy has changed, and only teams with stronger overall strength have the possibility of winning the championship. The Rockets need to adapt to the times, and Durant is Alexander of Houston. In the case of Durant, the Rockets do not need to empty their wealth and trade to Antetokounmpo. This move will only cause the Rockets' other three starting positions to decline sharply. The Rockets are not a team like the Lakers that pursue traffic and attention. There is no need to form a starting group with a gimmick that outweighs their strength.

Secondly, the internal need to achieve unified offense and defense tactics. When the Rockets trade, they have to formulate offense and defense tactics around Durant. Durant's characteristics are that his half-time offense is free of blind spots, the middle-range and long-range shooting league is the strongest, and he can use mid-range hard to kill the game at critical moments. The Rockets need to match Durant with suitable helpers, such as inside players who are good at grabbing frontcourt rebounds and guards who can organize ball control and catch shots. They can add to Durant's singles.

If Antetokounmpo is exchanged for Antetokounmpo, the Rockets must also build an offensive and defensive system for Antetokounmpo. Adjust the decisive lineup according to Antetokounmpo's characteristics. When Durant and Antetokounmpo play at the last moment at the same time, because of the different styles of playing, the coach can only choose one of two, which will not only cause waste of resources but also make the role players at a loss. The three giant combination of Durant + Booker + Bill formed by the Sun next door was the best embodiment of this chaotic team building idea. If the Rockets form the Durant + Antetokounmpo duo, it will not only follow the old path of the Suns' failure, but also gradually move away from the championship trophy. Therefore, at this time, the Rockets management must suppress their desires and give up the idea of ​​pile up stars, so that they can get closer and closer to the championship.

Many NBA managers want to leave their names in history to form a multi-giant lineup, which is also a proof of their trading ability. But what is really difficult in the NBA is to stop at the right time. Only by knowing how to give up can you get closer to success. It's like Thunder Manager Presti is the one who should learn.
