Let's talk about the formation of the rocket's new management:
According to previous news, the Rockets have selected the Lone Ranger's assistant coach Stephen Silas as the new head coach, this guy is quite creative on the offensive end, and his family background is also quite appreciated by the outside world, especially he has coached several top point guards, including Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic and Kemba Walker;
However, it must be mentioned that although Silas has 20 years of coaching experience, he has never been a head coach, so this iron-clad assistant coach is actually a rookie!
Of course, the Rockets naturally have the guarantee and method of dealing with the lack of rookie coaches - the Rockets are seeking to form a senior coaching team, and at present, the assistant coaches include former Pacers head coach McMillan, and former Knicks head coach Hornasek, all of whom are well-known "old men" in the league.
However, there is 1 more person who has to mention it - Ralph Alstom! That's right, that street ball king, Yao Ming's former teammate!
Rockets recruit senior coach, Alstom knows, once on the court is a nerve knife, and after retiring did not find him on the marshal post, just yao Ming's former teammate identity want to come to the old owner to eat? It's a little strange!
In fact, the Rockets this wave of restructuring management, have not seen the "good intentions" of boss Fertita? Let a rookie top the coach's post, put the senior coaches who will have a high price in the assistant seat, and the rocket's new coaching staff is cheap to the naked eye! Apparently, Fertitta wants to save money, which is not a confession! No wonder Alstom wants to rub rice!
However, spending small money and doing big things, it is difficult to say that the coaching staff of Fertitta is not for Harden and Westbrook, after all, as just said, Silas is very good at coaching defenders, and if Hornasek and McMillan are in place, then the defense and the new tactical system are definitely understood;
However, the coach is not senior enough, it is difficult to go up and down, there are still a group of old birds with deeper experience than themselves, coupled with the tactical system and the team lineup need to be rebuilt, the Rockets are bound to go through a long period of running-in and experimentation in the new season, which is very painful For Harden and Westbrook.
