As the script of the Indiana Pacers meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder settled, the basketball world fell into an incredible peace.

On the eve of previous finals, various predictions and fierce debates were always heard, and they seemed to have become indispensable ingredients for the finals.

However, this time, these lively scenes seem out of place and there is no need for them to exist. Many people feel that in the past decade, the suspense of this championship battle is the least.

Perhaps, because of this, everyone's recruitment work for each team is what fans like to talk about most after dinner.

In fact, as Doncic airborne Los Angeles, American son "" Flag is about to put on the Mavericks' robe, Tatum suffered a serious injury, and the entire NBA territory seems to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Therefore, operations during this offseason will be extremely active.

The Houston Rockets, which are loved and watched by fans, have made a breakthrough this season. They not only advanced directly to the playoffs, but also advanced with the second best record in the West.

It's a pity that there are too many young players in the team and their playoff experience is closer to zero. Therefore, they don't seem to have many ways to face the experienced Golden State Warriors, and are suppressed by their opponents on both offense and defense.

When Curry and Butler were fully fired, no one in the team could stand up and respond toughly.

There is no doubt that if the Houston Rockets want to become a championship-level team, they still need to continue to improve; to complete a real transformation, general manager Stone must introduce a superstar who can make a final decision at a critical moment; it is obvious that Stone also realized the team's problem and emphasized that he will do his best to pursue his favorite goals.

According to the well-known NBA media number NBA Central, sources revealed that the Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Houston Rockets have an interest in each other. It is worth mentioning that before this, there was news that Stone was willing to pay any price except Amen Thompson.

In the brilliant galaxy of Greek basketball, Antetokounmpo is like the most dazzling superstar. He is like a "rebound hunter" on the court, with an extraordinary sense of keenness towards frontcourt rebounds. Every time he competes for rebounds, the amazing bounce power explodes instantly, jumping high, as if he can touch the sky. On the defensive end, he is like a moving steel barrier, and his strong interference ability makes his opponent's offense repeatedly frustrated.

Antetokounmpo's personal skills are outstanding, but what is even more amazing is that he has an extremely keen passing awareness and outstanding organizational skills. In the game, he is like a strategist, always able to skillfully pass the ball accurately at critical moments, perfectly connecting the team's offense. Under his dispatch, the Rockets' attack was as smooth as a flowing cloud, and each attack was more lethal.
