In the last 2 seasons, the Houston Rockets have experienced a huge gap. As a title-contending favorite team a few years ago, the Rockets suffered a major blow in the summer of 2020, head coach D'Antoni left, and the two major stars Westbrook and Harden successively applied for a trade, forcing the Rockets to trade themselves out by refusing to play. In this case, the newly formed Rocket management can only choose to give up the championship and begin to embark on the road of reconstruction. The Rockets traded Westbrook and Harden successively, ending the Harden era for 9 years.
For many old Rockets fans, the disintegration of this Rocket is still very regrettable. In the 9 years that Harden came to the Rockets, the Rockets can play in the playoffs every year, and have reached the Western Conference Finals twice, although they have not won the championship, but they have also achieved a small success. In particular, the Rockets in 2018, after forming the backcourt combination of Harden and Paul, they played a very strong performance, winning 65 wins in the regular season, playing the best regular season record in the history of the Rockets. In the playoffs, the Rockets fought with the five-star Warriors in 7 games, regrettably lost and lost everything.
That Rockets, with Paul and Harden in the backcourt, have the best sixth man like Gordon on the bench, Ariza, Tucker and Bamot on the front line, and Capela can eat cake and protect the basket on the inside. D'Antoni's ultimate individual singles and unlimited change of defense system built around this lineup made the Rockets almost touch the door of the Finals. Unfortunately, the timing was not good, and the rocket eventually failed. Today, the Rockets have fallen apart, the players have scattered the stars, and only the veteran Gordon is still holding out.
Rocket veterans have continued to shine after leaving the Rockets, and many of them have had success. Harden is chasing his championship dream with Durant and Irving, Tucker has won the championship last season, Paul led the Suns all the way to the Finals, and Capela followed the Hawks to the Eastern Conference Finals. Everyone has a good evaluation of the old owner Rocket, even Paul, who was hurt by the rocket, did not blame the rocket too much. It's some insignificant little characters who seem to have hatred for the Rockets.
The most representative is House. House's form has plummeted this season, coupled with his penchant for things, he was cut by the Rockets in the middle of the season. However, House's luck was good, he just caught up with the special form of the league's missing major generals in various teams this season, so he was quickly given the opportunity to re-employ. Some time ago, the Utah Jazz threw an olive branch to House and signed house on a short 10-day contract. According to The Athletic, league sources say the Utah Jazz are planning another 10-day contract with Danuel House.
House, who got his new job, seemed to be in a very happy mood and began to drift a little. Recently, House hit back at netizens on social media. In August last year, a netizen named tRench commented under House's dynamics: "Dude, give up your No. 4 jersey, your season's highest score is 17 points, (Jaylen) Green surpassed it with only one game, let your number out." House did not reply at the time, until the two days House and jazz reached a contract, House replied to the netizen: "[Jazz logo] was still in the lower half of the league before going to sleep, and when he woke up, he was already at the top, you can get the number back." ”
House's words are actually mocking the Rockets for their bad record, and by the way, he left a bad team like the Rockets and came to a top team in the league. Such diss' own old club, somewhat out of place, not to mention that the Jazz ranked at the top of the league and House has no half-cent relationship, even if the Rockets' record is bad, didn't they also give House a stable contract and a starting position? Even if he fooled around with strange women in the 2020 rematch park, causing the Rockets' morale to collapse, the Rockets did not give up on him. Such an indebted player, I am afraid it is difficult to make a difference.
