After the Rockets won 7 wins and 1 loss in the past 8 games, Ethan and Adams were suspected of having internal strife! What happened to the two people who were photographed by fans pulling and pushing on the sidelines? What impact will it have on the soaring Rockets?

Ethan and Adams are suspected of internal strife.

The incident started when a fan who was watching the game forwarded Adams' highlights on social media and asked who knew what caused the conflict between Ethan and Adams? I saw Adams at the scene pushing Ethan directly away after communicating with an assistant coach. The latter looked very angry.

Following this piece of news, omnipotent netizens quickly determined that the incident occurred at the end of the third quarter of the Rockets' game against the Wizards, and posted a video clip of Adams and Ethan pulling and pushing each other, which appeared to be internal strife.

In the video, you can see that at the end of the third quarter, Ethan walked to the bench with a very depressed expression. During this period, he first ignored Jabari Smith Jr.'s request to reach out and give a high-five. Then Adams appeared in the screen. The two quickly pulled and pushed each other, and the assistant coaches around him quickly surrounded him.

You can also see the aftermath from the high-definition picture broadcast live. The two were far away from each other by the assistant coach.

Why are the two fighting among themselves?

Although the broadcast did not clearly record what happened between the two, clues can still be found through some of the live recordings and playbacks. With 32.2 seconds left in the third quarter, during the Wizards' free throws, Adams could be clearly heard in the recording angrily scolding Ethan, who stood on the opposite side and spread his hands in confusion.

At the end of the third quarter after two rounds, the two men immediately had a scene that seemed like internal strife in front of the bench, which meant that this friction was most likely the direct cause of the pulling and pushing between the two sides. What impact does

have on the Rockets?

Except for the news exposed above, no details have been exposed so far, which means that the Rockets have most likely internally digested this friction between teammates.

The fans who initially exposed this suspected internal strife also posted ticket stubs and photos of the scene on social media, praising the performance of core insider Shen Jing in this unexpected incident, saying that he is not only a leader on the court, but also off the court.

When the game was suspended at the end of the third quarter, facing Ethan and Adams who almost had a conflict, Shen Jing patiently observed the situation of his teammates, and then stepped forward to have a long exchange and communication with Ethan.

Combined with the many friendly interactions between Ethan and Adams on social media before, Adams and Shen Jing even staged funny moments of "bullying" each other during training and competitions, and there was no follow-up news about this suspected conflict.

The friction between Ethan and Adams is most likely not a manifestation of the accumulation of off-field problems. It is most likely just a spark on the spot due to different concepts in some rounds.

As long as it is handled properly, it is not a bad thing for the Rockets, but is conducive to internal unity. After all, who has never had conflicts or frictions with their good brothers, as long as they talk about it, the relationship will only get better.

What's more, the Rockets are currently making rapid progress, with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss in the past 8 games. Since the beginning of the season, their offensive efficiency has ranked first in the league. Their defensive efficiency has also improved to seventh in the league. Their net efficiency ranks third in the league after the Thunder and Nuggets.

Both Ethan and Adams also performed impressively, especially Ethan, who is in his contract year. He averaged 12.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 51.1%. He averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game. With at least 40 three-pointers taken, Ethan ranked first in the league in field goal percentage.

More importantly, Ethan is in good health this season. As long as he continues his current performance, he is bound to get a bigger role.

Whether he stays with the Rockets or goes to another team in the future, Ethan is bound to get a lucrative contract next summer.
