The top 10 opponents are weak in the top 7 and 3? The Rockets may "open the door" in the new season! The record is expected to open low and close high

August 19, from now on, the Rockets are particularly looking forward to the arrival of the new season. After all, the current Houston Rockets are different from the previous bottom team. Durant's arrival and the growth of new stars have made Rockets coach Uduka very confident. Even if Durant's average score will decline next season, the Rockets don't care at all, because some experts say that the reason why the Rockets spent a lot of money to dig up Durant is that Durant can perform in the playoffs, especially because he needs to take over the game on the offensive end. And in the regular season, young players such as Shin Kyung, Van Vreet, Smith Jr., Amen and Ethan can bring the Rockets to a very good position.

This is the Rockets' shortcomings: this team lacks experience and lacks super scorers on the offensive end. Durant's arrival directly clears the Rockets' problems, so the Rockets seem to have a chance to win the NBA championship next season. Even if the Western Conference strong teams gather together, the Rockets are expected to make a breakthrough and achieve better results and performance.

In fact, we have also seen the recently announced schedules of NBA teams. The Houston Rockets' 82 regular season games seem to be difficult first and easy. Because the Rockets will play against many strong teams at the beginning of the season, and in the first 20 games, almost 70% of the Rockets played away games; however, at the end of the season, almost 80% of the Rockets played home games in more than 20 games, so the Rockets have the opportunity to start low and end high, so there is no need to worry too much about their record.

However, the Rockets may not have a good record in the beginning of the new season. On the one hand, the Rockets have lost starting players such as Jaylen Green, Dillon Brooks, Langdale and Whitmore, and have come new players such as Durant, Capela, and Finney Smith. After these new players arrive, they will inevitably have to run-in with the old players, so the Rockets may take about 20 games to truly produce a good chemical reaction.

But unfortunately, the 10 opponents faced by the Rockets in the first 10 games of the regular season can be said to be weaker, weaker, stronger, more strong. We can see that the Rockets will play the opening game with the Thunder in Game 1 of the regular season. The Rockets will still have to go away, and it is difficult to win this game. In the second game against the Eastern Conference powerhouse, the Detroit Pistons led by Cunningham. The Nets will face the Nets in the third game. Although the Nets have won Porter Jr., the overall strength of this team is still not comparable to that of the Rockets. In the fourth away game, the Rockets won the Raptors. In the fifth away game, the Celtics were challenged. Although they lost Porzingis, the team also had star players like White and Jaylen Brown, and it was quite difficult for the Rockets to defeat them. After

, the Rockets will welcome the Mavericks at home. No. 1 pick Flag is in good shape, and the comeback of Davis has made the overall strength of this team quickly improve. In the next three games, the Rockets will usher in three consecutive away games, challenging the Grizzlies, Spurs and Bucks. Although these three teams are not top teams, their strength should not be underestimated. In Game 10, the Rockets faced the Wizards at home and should be able to win easily. So in these 10 games, the Rockets are sure to win against the Nets, Raptors and Wizards; the Rockets seem to have to work hard for the other seven teams. In addition, the Rockets are in the running-in period, and it is already quite satisfactory that the Rockets can win 5 games in the first 10 games.

However, the Rockets have completed the running-in next, and the opponent has weakened, the Rockets have a chance to start low and end high, sprint to better ranking in the middle and late regular season, and strive for the championship in the playoffs.
