Unsolvable! It cost nearly 310 million yuan, and the strongest five giants in the NBA were born, which makes other teams play

Basketball

As we all know, since the start of this summer's offseason, the league has produced one major deal after another, including Durant joining the Rockets 1 for 8, Bain joining the Magic 1 for 7, Bucks buy out Lillard to sign Turner, etc. Epic trade reinforcements have completely disrupted the winning pattern of the new season, especially the crazy reinforcements of the Western Conference team, which directly threatened the defending champion Thunder.

And among these crazy reinforcements, there is a team whose strength is already a favorite to win the championship. The only thing missing is a experienced super giant team, which is the Houston Rockets. This summer, in order to make up for the team's biggest shortcomings, the Rockets management reached an 8-for-1 deal with the Suns that shocked the league. In addition, the management also spent 310 million US dollars in just half a month, not only bringing back Durant to fill the vacancy of the super giant, but also poached the Hawks and the Lakers, and formed a set of the strongest five-time starting lineup.

It is reported that since the offseason, the Rockets first renewed Adams with a 3-year, 39 million middle class contract; then completed the contract renewal with head coach Uduka, with the contract amount predicted to exceed 30 million in three years; then refused to implement Van Vleet's team option next season, and reached a two-year, 50 million contract renewal; 5-year, 122 million contract renewal of Jabbarri Jr.; 4-year, 53 million poached the Lakers core Smith; 3-year, 21.5 million to welcome old player Capela. Not counting other small-scale reinforcement buyouts, the Rockets management's series of operations are simply a win-win situation. In terms of lineup, Durant's joining gives the Rockets the capital to fight head-on with strong teams such as the Thunder, while Smith and Capela further improve the depth of the team's lineup. Especially Smith, who dug from the Lakers, has a career three-point shooting percentage of up to 41%, and its defensive strength is obvious to all. The All-Star player can control his effective shooting percentage in the half-time at 47%, which is the hot top 3D in the league.

In this way, the Rockets' core lineup will be the starting players Van Vleet + Amen + Durant + Jabbarri Jr. + Shin Kyung. It is difficult for this five-tier giants to have an opponent in the current NBA. Coupled with Smith, Adams, Capela, Ethan, Shepold and others on the bench, the depth of the Rockets' lineup is really terrifying.

If the Rockets' forward line in the past has always been a shortcoming, then with Durant joining, this lineup will have no shortcoming. In terms of substitutes, the Rockets were known for their lineup depth before, but now they only sacrificed one Dillon and gained additional Smith and Capela. How can other teams in the league play? The defending champion of the Thunder is probably in lingering. Congratulations to Durant, it's time to win his first championship after leaving the Warriors.
