It’s decided! The Rockets’ preseason plan is released: 3 players will be absent, and all the remaining 15 players will play, led by the 3 giants

Durant made his debut with the Rockets in the previous game when the Rockets defeated the Jazz at home. He also performed quite well in his first show, and his scoring efficiency was very high. Although he missed the first two shots, he then made 7 of 7 shots and easily scored 20 points in 23 minutes, with almost no effort.

For other Rockets players, it will obviously be easier to play next to Durant, such as Shen Jing, who sent 13 assists in this game. With Durant next to him, most of Shen Jing's passes can be converted into assists. Therefore, in the new season, Shen Jing can definitely become one of the centers with the strongest assist ability in the Western Conference. His assist data also has the opportunity to increase from 5 times per game last season to 7-8 times in the new season.

The Rockets need Durant. Now Durant has only played one preseason game and won everyone's recognition. Then the Rockets have two games left in the preseason, one is against the Pelicans on the 15th, and the other is the last game against the Atlanta Hawks away from home. In fact, the Rockets have defeated the Hawks in Game 1 before, but that was the Rockets' home game. In the last game against the Hawks, the Rockets should also come up with their strongest lineup.

Rockets head coach Uduka has already said that the Rockets will go all out in the last two preseason games against the Pelicans and Hawks. Except for the three players Tate, VanVleet and Finney Smith who are missing due to injuries, all 15 Rockets players will play.

We know that among the Rockets, it is a pity that VanVleet was reimbursed for the preseason. Finney Smith is still recovering from ankle surgery and we don’t know when he will be able to play. Tate is doing much better. He is now returning to training and is expected to play in the first game of the regular season.

The Rockets now have a total of 18 players. Except for three veterans who are absent due to injuries, the remaining 15 players will all appear in the next two preseason games. Moreover, Uduka also intends to train the lineup and send all the rotation lineups on the court. After all, the regular season of the new season is about to begin. The Rockets will encounter many playoff-level teams and even championship-level teams at the beginning of the new season. In Game 1, they will face the defending champion Thunder, and they are playing away from home. In addition, without VanVleet and Finney Smith, the Rockets are even worse.

However, if the lineup can be trained in the next two preseason games and the players' chemical reaction increases, then the Rockets may have good results at the start. In the next two games, the Rockets' three giants Durant, Shen Jing and Amen Thompson will lead this lineup. If the players can play, they will all play, including Ethan and Adams. This is the Rockets' preseason plan.

Although letting so many players play may cause new players to get injured, the Rockets have nothing to do, after all, there are many new players. The Rockets need to bring the new players together with the previous players to form a chemical reaction as soon as possible. In addition to normal training and confrontation, in actual games, letting these players play together for more times will definitely be very helpful to improve the tacit understanding of the players.
