Although the Houston Rockets are a young team, they are one of the best tough players in the league in terms of the team's style. After all, the Rockets lacked talent on the offensive end last season, and winning almost all depended on the efforts of the team and the contribution of the defensive end.

The Rockets are not afraid of confrontation. Whether it is Shin Kyung and Adams at the basket, Amen Thompson, Smith Jr. and Ethan on the front line, even Van Vreet, Aaron Holiday in the backcourt, or even Dillon Brooks who have left, they are all players with extremely tough style of play. Because as long as you have a soft style in the game, it will be difficult to win the favor of Uduka. Even Jaylen Green, who has a soft style, was sent directly to the Suns by the Rockets this summer in exchange for Durant.

So, only a tough style of play can attract the attention and interest of the Rockets coach, stay with the Rockets and get the contract. Jaylen Green is a negative example, and now he has left the team. The Rockets' backcourt will be stronger next season. Of course, the young Shepard should also show strong confrontational ability and tough style of play. Otherwise, he will follow in Jaylen Green's footsteps and will be very likely to be traded actively. Manager

Manager Stone believes that although the Rockets have introduced star players such as Durant and Finney Smith in the offseason, they have not received any actual honors, so they cannot relax at all now. The Rockets still need to appear in next season's game as a challenger. However, Stone still liked the four players. He said that young players such as Jabbarry Smith, Tari Ethan and Amen Thompson all have a unyielding personality, and veteran Van Van Vreet is the strongest player in the league, and he has a 100% winning mentality.

Manager Stone also noticed everyone's personal training this summer, and he said that everyone is working very hard during the training. For example, Amen Thompson and Van Vreett conducted special training with coach Uduka during this offseason, and they actually started boxing together. Manager Stone believes that this will also be helpful in playing, and this fighting spirit is exactly what the Houston Rockets need. Although the Rockets lacked offensive talent last season, with their strong defense, tough style of play and high-intensity confrontation, the Rockets basically killed whoever they saw and eventually won the fourth record in the league and the second record in the Western Conference.

As long as the Rockets adhere to this tough style of play, mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for winning, and let everyone see the true strength of the Rockets, they have the opportunity to go further. In fact, Stone doesn't have to worry at all, because there will be no weak soldiers under a strong general like Uduka. Although some players lack offensive talent, they are very strong and have extremely tough style of playing. Next season, relying on their defense and unsolvable team basketball, the Rockets can still defeat most of their opponents, not to forget Durant's call for the offensive end.

So next season, the Rockets will basically add a tough style of play and Durant's offense based on strong defense and first-class team basketball. Next season, they will truly become a very perfect super team.
