How terrifying! The minimum starting point is 2.01 meters! Rockets, how do you want other teams to play?

Basketball

It was originally thought that the average height of the starting five that the Denver Nuggets sent to the bubble park in the 2019-20 season: Nikola Jokic (2.11 meters) + Jerami Grant (2.01 meters) + Bol Bol (2.21 meters) + Mason Plumlee (2.13 meters) + Paul Sapp (2.01 meters) is already unrivaled in the world! But who would have thought that five years later, the NBA would have a starting lineup that was even more explosive than the average height of the Denver Nuggets' starting five.

Tomorrow at 7:30 a.m., the Houston Rockets will challenge the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder away from home. At that time, the two sides will officially kick off the opening game of the 2025-26 season! There is no doubt that the league arranged such a matchup as the opening game of the new season with great intention. On one side are the defending champion Thunder, who have superior strength, and on the other are the Houston Rockets, who completed a super-heavy signing this summer and got Durant to join. The head-to-head confrontation between the two favorites to win the championship in the new season is bound to be shocking! Therefore, this thunderous matchup is likely to be a preview of the Western Conference Finals in the 2025-26 season.

At that time, the Thunder team will receive the 2024-25 NBA championship ring at home, while Rockets new aid Kevin Durant will return to his hometown to face his old club, the Thunder. But the most attractive part of this game is not that, but the terrifying heights of the Rockets' starting five. Today, Rockets coach Udoka revealed in an interview with the media that the Rockets' starting lineup for the opening game is Amen Thompson + Kevin Durant + Jabari Smith Jr. + Alperon Shenjing + Steven Adams. .

There is no doubt that the head coach Uduka sent a starting "five" lineup. The heights of the five players are: Amen Thompson 2.01 meters, Kevin Durant 2.11 meters, Jabari Smith 2.11 meters, Alperon Shenjing 2.11 meters, and Steven Adams 2.11 meters. The average height of the Rockets' starting five is a super scary 2.09 meters. This also means that the shortest among the Rockets' starting five in the opening game is Amen Thompson who is 2.01 meters tall!

According to media person Rob Perez, the Houston Rockets' starting five-tiger lineup will be the tallest starting lineup in NBA history. He is even 1 inch (about 3 centimeters) taller than the starting lineup sent by the Denver Nuggets in the bubble park in 2020.

It is reported that in the Houston Rockets' starting position, Kevin Durant, who is 2.11 meters tall, will serve as the shooting guard. Dare you imagine? Kevin Durant, who is as tall as a center, actually plays shooting guard. This is definitely a dimensionality-reducing blow to any opponent at the second position! Durant is bound to be able to easily crush any player he plays against in the game, and sighing at the ball will be the last stubbornness of the opponent's players.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Rockets' starting five-star lineup for the opening game will definitely be a nightmare for all rival teams in the league! Let me ask, which of the other 29 teams in the NBA has a starting five that can rival them? This makes people want to ask: Houston Rockets, how can you let other teams play in this game? Does the job of grabbing rebounds have to be shared by the opposing team? It's so inhumane and terrifying! What do you think about this?
