Xu Media: The team plans to reduce Durant s regular season playing time in the new season to give young players opportunities

The Rockets fans are most concerned about recently. Adu's playing time next season.

The team clearly needs to control the regular season playing time of 37-year-old Durant, with the goal reduced to 35 minutes, and is also preparing to give him a rest in back-to-back games.

This decision is quite realistic. After all, he averaged 36.6 minutes per game in the Suns last season, the fifth highest in the league, but he only played 62 games.

People with ruptured Achilles tendon really can't stand such trouble.

Look at the lessons of the sun and you will understand.

Last year, Durant failed to make the playoffs, which was completely unworthy of the gains.

The Rockets' current configuration is much stronger than the Suns, especially those of Ethan and Smith on the defensive end. Adu finally doesn't need to attack and defend.

He ranked first in the first playing time among players over 30 last season, so it's time to take a breath.

data prediction is quite reliable.

Even if it drops to 35 minutes, with Adu's efficiency, he can still have about 25 points per game, with a two-point shooting percentage of 55%, and a three-point 40% problem is not a big deal.

The key is to keep the strength to the playoffs so that he can still turn on the God of Death mode at critical moments. The opportunity for young players is really here.

Jaylen Green averaged 19 points per game last year, with a three-point shooting percentage of 36.2%. Now it will be more stable if he has the big brother leading the game.

Amen Thompson ranks among the top three rookies in defensive efficiency, and averages 1.5 steals per game, so it's time to level up. It is also time to prove whether it is worth cultivating if it is worth cultivating.

Back to back rest operation is necessary.

Referring to Leonard's mode in the Clippers, he saves the playoffs in the regular season.

The Rockets Medical Team is under a lot of pressure and must scientifically manage the veteran's physical condition.

If you get injured, it's all over. The Suns' winning rate plummeted when Durant was absent last year was a lesson.

Wuduka's troops have to use his brain.

Three defensive lineups are in turn, Van Vleet and Amen are in control of the field, and the wing firepower points are sufficient.

As long as the system runs smoothly, the team will not collapse when Durant rests.

Look at how the Nuggets use Jokic, the effect of the stars is better if they save money.

Looking right in the long run.

Now let young people play a few more games, which can not only train the team but also keep Adu healthy.

If you can go further in the playoffs, the few minutes you play will be worth the fare.

After all, who wants to see the veteran work hard in the regular season but not be able to do it in the playoffs?
