Bottoming the Western Conference for two consecutive seasons, the Houston Rockets are now rotten. As the home team of once Chinese fans, the Rockets' series of death operations have made fans lose their good feelings, and now even the American media have begun to mock them.
Just four years ago, the Rockets were bent on flaunting their strong team status, constantly strengthening the lineup, hoping to reach the Finals and even win the championship. Looking back, how unrealistic the Rockets management's original idea was, not to mention whether it could kill the West, even if it didn't have a championship, it was no wonder that the Houston media sharply commented: "There is no foundation, it is rotten like this, first play back to the playoffs and then think of something else!" ”
Last season, the Rockets sent Harden and Westbrook away in a row, leaving veteran Gordon, which was obviously a mess. By this season, the team is full of injuries, only 10 people can be rotated stably, and Jaylen Green, who has just entered the league, has become the number one person in the Rockets, and his average of 17.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game has been quite outstanding, but such an excellent player, I don't know if I can stick to Houston.
The Rockets' current rot is not only reflected in the players, head coach Stephen Silas also has problems, himself as an assistant coach Silas was temporarily pulled by the Rockets to top the bag, who let the coach cheap. As a result, Silas overused Wood and Porter Jr., with extremely poor on-the-spot command and adaptability, and insisted on keeping Schroeder, which affected the team's outside output, and a series of crotch-pulling operations pushed the team into the abyss.
The Rockets have long since ended their season journey, and it is reported that Silas is no longer in the team's plans, and the selection of a new manager has not yet been determined. However, for the Rockets management, the main task is to re-establish the confidence of the team, strengthen the personnel, purge the veterans, and strive to return to the top ten series in the West as soon as possible.
