Win 1 superstar + 3 big gates! The Rockets are still not satisfied? Stone speaks out with a domineering voice: We are hunters

On the surface, the Houston Rockets should have no shortcomings now. The main problem with the Rockets last season was that they were not good at offense. At the critical moment of decisive victory, no player could output scores steadily. Whether it is All-Star center Shin Kyung or Rockets' No. 1 scorer Jaylen Green, the Rockets' top scorer, the ability to solve the problem is indeed insufficient.

But now it's fine. The Rockets not only improved their outside offensive firepower and won superstar Kevin Durant, but also signed three defensive gates in the trading and signing this summer: signing swingman Okogi at the base salary, signing old center Capela with a three-year contract, and signing Lakers' wing defensive forward Finney Smith with a four-year contract. This summer, the Rockets won a superstar Durant and three defensive gates. Even if the Rockets lose some players, their overall strength will still rise steadily next season.

It seems that the Rockets have star-level players in every position, such as Shin Kyung and Adams in the center position, Durant, Amen Thompson, Smith Jr., etc. in the forward position, and their back line also have former Eastern Conference All-Stars like Van Vreett. Moreover, once Shepard can develop his own potential, he will have a chance to become an All-Star super shooter and top passer in the future. The Rockets have very neat lines and are led by star players. However, the Rockets are still reserved for this lineup because in the eyes of the Rockets, they still have not tested themselves through actual combat and honor, and they are still a team that continues to challenge.

It can be said that the young Houston Rockets have a good mentality enough. They also know that they are a reorganized team, and it has only been five years since they were played and rebuilded. What's more, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season. Even if a lot of star players were introduced this summer, the Rockets should not be blinded by this apparent prosperity.

Although the Rockets' deals and signings this summer have been praised by the outside world, in a show, Rockets general manager Stone was very calm and said that the Rockets still need to maintain the hunter's mentality next season and be hungry for victory, because the Rockets have not won any hard honors now, so there is no relaxation at all. The Rockets have always needed to maintain their unyielding attitude. It cannot be said that the outside world thinks that the Rockets' overall strength is strong, so they take it lightly.

This is what the Rockets management says, but in fact this statement is completely correct. Although the Rockets got Durant, strengthened the front line, and had many players who could be reused, the Rockets did not go through actual tests, and even had this lineup not played together in a preseason game. Never let yourself be blinded by the seemingly powerful lineup on the surface. In fact, last season, the Suns had the three giants Durant, Bill and Booker. It turned out that their lineup was also quite strong, but if they really started playing in the regular season, the Suns would not even find the threshold for the playoffs.

Therefore, the Suns are a negative example, and the Rockets must not be another Phoenix Suns next season. The Rockets are still not satisfied with the victory, and Stone's domineering statement has made the Rockets more confident in starting from scratch and starting from scratch.
