Refusing to shake hands at the award ceremony! Becoming a bond with Shin Kyung? Antetokounmpo may miss the Rockets in the future

In this offseason, the Rockets have always wanted to welcome a superstar. After all, although the Rockets were second in the Western Conference last season, they were eliminated after fighting the Warriors in the playoffs for seven games, the Rockets lacked a superstar scorer who could make a final decision at a critical moment, which is also their biggest problem.

This summer, the Rockets actually took a lot of star players. In addition to Durant, they also wanted to get Antetokounmpo from the Bucks. Since Lillard was directly cut, the Bucks' overall strength declined severely, so it will be difficult for the Bucks to break through successfully next season even in the Eastern Conference. Antetokounmpo had the intention to leave, but in the end the Bucks convinced Antetokounmpo and introduced several star players led by Turner to help Antetokounmpo. So although the Bucks may not be able to break out of the Eastern Conference next season, there is still no problem entering the playoffs and even reaching the Eastern Conference finals.

The 30-year-old superstar has always been one of the five best players in the league. Whether in the NBA game or in the just-concluded European Championships, Antetokounmpo has played epic data and performance. In the regular season last season, Antetokounmpo averaged 30 points, 12 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals in 67 games, with a shooting percentage of up to 60%. Although the three-point shooting percentage is only 22%, as a power forward, Antetokounmpo's ability to hit the basket is one of the best in the league.

The Rockets' first goal at that time was naturally Antetokounmpo. After all, Antetokounmpo is 6 years younger than Durant. He is still in his peak period and will maintain this state in the next five or six years. Unfortunately, the Bucks refused to release the person, so the Rockets could only turn to Durant, and finally used 8 chips, which was the exchange for Durant.

Obviously, Antetokounmpo may still be the target of the Rockets' pursuit in the future, but now one thing has made the hope of Antetokounmpo and the Rockets joining forces smaller. In the previous semi-finals where the Turkey team eliminated the Greek team, Shin Kyung's performance was much better than Antetokounmpo. After the game, Shin Kyung directly stated that Antetokounmpo's passing ability was not good, which was also opposed by Antetokounmpo. At the European Championship awards ceremony, Antetokounmpo, who won the bronze medal, did not shake hands with the Rockets star Shin Kyung.

Once upon a time, the two seemed to have formed a grudge. After all, they were fighting for each other in the previous game. After Shen Jing said that Antetokounmpo would not pass the ball, which even angered Antetokounmpo. Now at the awards ceremony, the Rockets' Shen Jing and the Bucks' Antetokounmpo did not shake hands, and the two men's Liangzi probably ended up.

Since Shin Kyung is the Rockets' star, if the Rockets chase Antetokounmpo in the future, then Antetokounmpo must consider whether to join forces with Shin Kyung. Judging from the relationship between the two of them now regard it as fire, it is obvious that the Rockets are not Antetokounmpo's main choice. Once the Bucks plan to rebuild and trade Antetokounmpo, Antetokounmpo is probably unwilling to play with the Rockets, after all, there is a stale rival, Shin Kyung.

Fortunately, the Rockets have obtained Durant now, and the Rockets will work with Durant in the next two or three years. After Durant retires, young players such as Shin Kyung and Amen Thompson will take the lead. Even if Antetokounmpo failed to switch to the Rockets, the overall strength of the Rockets is still not weak.
