Big news! Official announcement: The Houston Rockets officially signed 15+6 defensive players with 3.1 million a year

Last season, the Houston Rockets, which are loved and paid attention to by fans, became a dark horse; under the planning of head coach Uduka, they played a suffocating defensive performance, which gave the entire NBA a headache.

When Amen Thompson, Shinkin, Jabbarry Smith, Ethan and others show their talents at the same time, the Houston Rockets can easily knock down powerful teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Celtics, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Indiana Pacers, and New York Knicks one by one.

In the end, the Houston Rockets advanced directly to the playoffs with the second place in the West. And such a result undoubtedly slapped many experts and scholars in the face.

After entering the playoffs, due to the general lack of experience of Houston Rockets, they were suppressed by their old opponent Golden State Warriors on both sides of the offense and defense; what is even more desperate is that just when Curry, Butler, and even Hilder were fully fired, no one in the team could stand up and respond, and Van Vleet and Jaylen Green were completely invisible. Because of this, the Rockets can only accept the fate of being eliminated.

In fact, after a series, General Manager Stone also lets see clearly what the team’s flaws are? And which players are the real future. So Stone immediately led the team to formulate a series of signing plans and carried out them without fail.

Shortly after being eliminated, the Houston Rockets immediately sent Jaylen Green, Dillon and several draft picks in exchange for Kevin Durant; after that, the free market door had just opened, and Stone contacted Finney Smith and Capela at a very fast speed to bring these two strong players under his command.

In fact, through these operations, the Houston Rockets have become a veritable championship team. However, Stone did not stop his work and still worked hard to inject new talents into the team. On July 24, according to official news, the Houston Rockets officially signed forward Okogie with 3.1 million a year. The joining of Okogi further strengthened the Rockets' forward strength. Okoji is a defensive vanguard on the front line. Although he is only 1.93 meters tall, his wingspan is 2.13 meters long, and he has excellent ability to defend from No. 1 to No. 4. During his two and a half seasons with the Suns, Okogi was an important rotation player on the team and even started 38 games.

Now, the Rockets' lineup is becoming increasingly taller, which not only enhances the strength of the inside, improves the intensity of the defense, but also improves the stability of the offense. The defensive system of Okoji and Uduka is perfectly adaptable. You know, he is a defensive-oriented player, and Uduka attaches great importance to defense. So, the Rockets championship is really no longer a dream.
