Rockets take action! Adams renews his contract and stays with the team. Will Durant join Shin Kyung because of this

Shen Jing's right-hand assistant stayed? According to US media reports, Rockets center Adams agreed to renew his contract with a three-year, $39 million contract.

This season, Adams played 57 regular season games for the Rockets, averaging 3.9 points, snatched 5.7 rebounds and sent 0.5 blocks. His shooting percentage is as high as 54.5%;

Adams played 7 games for the Rockets in the playoffs, and his data has been improved in all aspects! He averaged 5.7 points, grabbed 6.6 rebounds, sent 1.1 blocks, and shot up to 60%.

You can see that Adams in the playoffs are stronger than in the regular season. His performance in the playoffs is crucial, and it can be said that it has supported the Rockets' inside.

So why did the Rockets keep Adams? After all, he is in his 30s, and there may be several main reasons.

The first reason is that Adams is very good at fighting. Although Adams has average scoring ability, he does not have three-point ability, and has no mid-range shooting ability, he has the ability to eat cake at the basket.

More importantly, Adams has excellent defensive ability! As long as he stands at the basket, he will put huge psychological pressure on his opponent, which can be seen from this season's playoffs.

It is precisely because of Adams that the Rockets have a huge inside advantage. With this advantage, they can fight the Warriors to a tiebreak battle.

The second reason is that Adams is very popular. Although Adams scores in a very good way, because of his excellent defensive ability and his excellent performance in the playoffs, this makes him very valuable in the market.

Those teams that want to achieve good results next season will definitely pursue Adams strongly! After all, the two teams that are now entering the finals, the Thunder and Pacers, have excellent inside.

So if the Rockets make slow moves, Adams will likely join another team. Especially joining the Western Conference team, this is definitely harmful to the Rockets. That's why they took action quickly.

The third reason is to get Durant. As we all know, Adams had been teammates with Durant in the Thunder, and Durant is seeking to leave the Suns. The Rockets can keep Adams and play the emotional card to win Durant. Is this the reason?
