With the NBA season about to kick off and the hands of time firmly pointing to the final 24-hour countdown, people are full of eager anticipation for this season. In this expectation, there are not only the strong teams that have put together a star-studded roster, but also a once-glorious team like the Rockets, who are ready to return to the fierce competition. This offseason, the Rockets have been full of action, and they hired the famous coach Uduka with high salaries, showing their determination to return to the competition. Even under the lack of free agency appeal, the Rockets managed to recruit Brooks and VanVleet with good salaries and signed veteran Jeff Green, with good momentum. The Rockets' young players have also signed with the team, Uduka is changing Houston's basketball culture, and general manager Stone's ability to operate in adversity has been recognized.
Before the start of the regular season of the new season, Rockets rookie Amen Thompson ushered in the good news of Nike's endorsement contract. Nike, the largest sneaker brand in basketball, has signed endorsement contracts with 13 rookies with high-profile prospects and huge ceilings, and Amen Thompson is among them. This is undoubtedly a recognition of Amen Thompson's ability and a bright future for him. Amen Thompson's pre-season performance is impressive, and while the stats may not be the most prominent, his offensive and defensive qualities are enough to show his great potential in the future.
Amen Thompson not only performs well on the offensive end, with strong individual offensive ability and smart play, but his performance on the defensive end is also impressive, his running and jumping ability is excellent, and his height of 2.01 meters is even more dimensional. He is considered one of the most likely players to succeed this edition. With the exception of Amen Thompson, the Rockets' atmosphere and attitude changed after hiring Uduka. The team's veterans and young players have shown a strong desire to change the bad impressions of the past and become a balanced team in attack and defense. Among them, the influence of Uduka cannot be ignored, and his arrival is undoubtedly the most critical and important signing for the Rockets this offseason.
The passage of time has also witnessed the adversity operation ability of Rockets general manager Stone, who successfully managed to get the roster for the new season in a limited space, and although the Rockets lacked in the market, Stone's operation has proven his ability. However, some free agents did not choose the Rockets even under the temptation of higher salaries, which undoubtedly put higher demands on the management of the Rockets.
In the end, the Rockets are highly anticipated for the new season, and their future is also full of hope. From veterans to rookies, coaches to management, the Rockets have shown upward momentum and determination to change. The arrival of Uduka, the emergence of Amen Thompson, and Stone's adversity operation all make people see the possibility of the rocket being reborn. They are no longer the obscure fish-belly team, they are returning to the NBA competition stage with a new look. Let's wait and see what kind of surprise this rocket full of hope and potential will bring us in the new season.
