Average of 2.08 meters! The five major Rockets deaths are released, both offense and defense are available, and the Thunder Nuggets must be careful

The NBA has entered the offseason. Recently, the US media predicted the ranking of combat power in the new season. The top three are the Thunder, Nuggets and Rockets. What surprised us here is definitely the Rockets, but in fact, the Rockets are really strong. First of all, they were second in the Western Conference last season, but they lacked experience in the playoffs and were eventually eliminated by the Warriors. However, they played 7 games before they decided to win. Secondly, the Rockets ranked first in the league in a lot of data last season, such as the average rebounding average, the third in the league in defensive efficiency, and the fourth in the league in net win. In addition, the Rockets' offseason operation is quite successful this year.

For example, trading chips such as Jaylen Green and Dillon got Durant from the Suns, renewed Van Vritte for 2 years and $50 million, won Capela for 3 years and $21.5 million, renewed Adams for 3 years and $39 million, sent Whitmore to the Wizards, exchanged for two second round picks, etc. Let's take a look at the Rockets' current lineup list, namely Durant, Amen, Ethan, Van Vritte, Shinkin, Jabarri, Adams, Holiday, Capela, Finney Smith, Tate, Shepard, Jeff Green, Williams and Harris. It is necessary to admit that the Rockets can play too many people, and Uduka can even try different lineups, and some starting positions cannot even be determined.

Durant, Shin Kyung and Van Vritte are definitely going to start, and there are unknowns in the No. 2 position and No. 4 position. In the past, Jaylen Green was the No. 2 position. Now he is traded. It is possible that Amen will be on the top, and then the No. 4 position is the choice. After all, it is hard to say whether Jabbarri can play the starting lineup. Normally, the Rockets' starting lineup should be Van Jordan + Amen + Durant + Jabbarri + Shin Kyung, or Van Jordan + Amen + Ethan + Durant + Shin Kyung. These two lineups have their pros and cons. It is difficult to judge which one is better. The key depends on Uduka's choice. If you want to blame it, you blame the Rockets' lineup is too strong. Durant has never fought such a wealthy battle.

And today, the US media gave Uduka a suggestion, believing that the Rockets can try to use the lineup of Amen + Ethan + Durant + Jabbarri + Shen Jing in the new season. Once this lineup is used, the Rockets will become impeccable. We can make a specific analysis. First of all, this lineup is all big, all of which are more than 2 meters, and the average height is even 2.08 meters, which can be said to be the top five deaths, which can make any team feel a headache. Secondly, this lineup has both offense and defense. Everyone is stronger on the offensive end, and everyone on the defensive end is also a defensive player. If you are worried that Shin Kyung will drag his defense down, then the No. 5 position will be replaced by Adams.

In this way, you will find that the strength of this lineup is not weak at all. If you have to say it, it may be the No. 1 position. The Rockets need a defender who can organize in series. Amen's organizational ability last season was barely qualified, and sometimes he made many mistakes. Most of the time he played in the forward position. Shepard is still young and has too few opportunities to perform. In theory, Shepard is the Rockets most needed point guard type, but the Rockets are going to win the championship in the new season, so Uduka has no extra time to train Shepard. As for Van Vritte, being too short is easy to be targeted. In the long run, Uduka should still develop Amen's organizational capabilities.

The Rockets' Five Deaths can be used at critical moments, such as the point difference in the last quarter, or when they are behind, the appearance of the five Deaths can completely help the Rockets turn the situation around. To sum up, the Rockets' strength in the new season is indeed strong enough, with superstars, lineup depth, offense, defense, and coaches. We can make a prediction. The Rockets in the new season guarantee second place in the Western Conference and will probably win at least 56 wins (52 wins last season). If the running-in goes well, then they can compete with the Thunder for the top of the Western Conference. The West of the new season is nothing more than the world of the Thunder, the Rockets and the Nuggets. Stone was also full of confidence in an interview recently.

Stone said: "We were second in the Western Conference last season, and I think this is true, so we think we can compete for the championship now). We lost a stalemate series last season. We think we have real opportunities to compete in the playoffs, and we also hope to have real competitiveness in the playoffs in the new season." These words are easy to understand. Stone believes that the Rockets in the new season have become stronger, and the only goal is to strive for the championship. Durant said when he was a guest show, he also said that he joined the Rockets to compete for the championship. It can be seen that the Rockets are now full of confidence. Whether it is the Thunder or the Nuggets, it is difficult to play when they encounter the Rockets. Now the Rockets' lineup is very restrained.
