Rockets team trains, VanVleet shows up! Wearing training clothes and sneakers, happily interacting with Durant

In the next game, the Rockets' opponent is the Wizards. This game should be very easy for the Rockets to win. Maybe core players such as Shen Jing and Durant can clock out in three quarters. Because the Wizards' current record is really bad, 1 win and 10 losses. This is the Wizards' total record after 11 games. Moreover, they have lost 9 games in a row and are currently the worst team in the league.

But the Wizards don't seem to care, because their goal may be to train young players and give them the opportunity to brush up data and score points at will. After all, these young players can only grow up after a few years if they produce good statistics and accumulate enough experience, just like the Rockets back then. Silas has given more opportunities to young players such as Shen Jing, Jaylen Green, Porter Jr., and Smith Jr., and he will not take the Rockets' record into consideration. The worse the Rockets' record is, the happier the management will be, because it will allow them to collect more high-ranking draft picks.

In recent years, the Rockets have used these high draft picks to pick out Jaylen Green, Smith Jr., Amen Thompson, and even Shepard. Of course, there are also No. 16 pick Shin Kyung and No. 17 pick Ethan. These young players of the Rockets have played a huge role in the team's successful reconstruction. Therefore, the Wizards' goal is definitely to imitate the Rockets in taking the initiative to perform badly, collect high-ranking draft picks, and then accumulate talent, which will eventually lead to a qualitative change and improve the team's overall record. Their goal this season is definitely to continue to perform poorly.

The Rockets did not have a game today. The entire team conducted training to prepare for the home game against the Wizards. The next game will be held on the morning of November 13th. The Rockets finally returned home after three away games. In addition, the Rockets are now strong and top-notch, so defeating the Wizards is not a big problem.

It is worth noting that during today’s Rockets team training, we saw a familiar figure-31-year-old Rockets core point guard VanVleet appeared on the training field again. Unlike the last time he appeared on the training ground and actively guided young players, this time he seemed to be involved in the training of the Rockets players and even interacted closely with the veteran Durant. The two held hands and looked very friendly.

And more importantly, VanVleet changed his look this time. He wore the Rockets' traditional training uniform and training shorts, and also put on a pair of bright green basketball shoes. Although he cannot participate in confrontation training yet, it is still very beneficial for him to be able to conduct light training with his teammates on the court. It is also beneficial for the Rockets teammates to train with the help of VanVleet, especially for young guards like Amen Thompson and Sheppard.

Van Fleet can become their full-time coach, guiding them on how to connect and organize offense at the 1st position, and perform beautiful offensive and defensive performances. In short, although VanVleet cannot play now, he is still using his actions to help the Rockets players become better.
