In the last 28 games, the Rockets are going all out to sprint to the playoffs, with two major positive bonuses, and Udoka has made a promise

Prior to All-Star Weekend, the Rockets' record was rather dismal, with the Rockets currently having a 24-30 record and a win rate of just over 40%. For the Rockets, they had a rather brilliant season this season, at the beginning of the season, the Rockets first lost three in a row, but the Rockets players seemed to suddenly find the feeling of winning, and then successively defeated the Nuggets, Lakers and other strong teams, and even "double-killed" the Kings. At one point, the Rockets' record rose to the top 6 in the West.

At that time, the Rockets were a completely new team for other teams, although there were still players such as Jalen Green, Shin Jing, and Smith in the team, but the Rockets brought in several more important veterans - VanVleet, Dillon and Jeff Green, etc., which made the Rockets roster new. What's more, the Rockets brought in Udoka and fired Silas, which gave the Rockets a huge improvement in defense, and the Rockets became one of the strongest defensive teams in the league by limiting opponents' scoring levels at the time.

But now the Rockets have finally fallen out of the playoffs due to injuries and inconsistent form. In the final 28 regular season games, the Rockets don't seem to be going to mess up, and under Udoka's guidance, they still seem to want to rush and find the last chance to return to the playoffs! This can be seen from the fact that the Rockets will change their lineup after the All-Star Weekend. If the Rockets want to mess up, that's okay, just keep the original starting 5 Tigers.

But Udoka has a showdown, he promised to adjust the Rockets' starting lineup and rotation after the All-Star weekend, although no specific plan was announced, but Udoka's statement also showed everyone that he is determined to help the Rockets win. Adjusting the lineup, it is long overdue, and seeing Jalen Green, who takes up a lot of playing time but not performing well, every game, and Shin Kyung, who can only brush up on statistics, makes fans very disappointed.

Although the Rockets changed their formation a little late now, in the last 28 games, once the Rockets changed their lineup and had an effect, maybe the Rockets would have a chance to "come back to life"! After all, the Clippers were like this before, and the Big 4 always lost when they started at the same time, but with Westbrook taking the starting lineup, the Clippers immediately became a super strong team in the league.

In addition to changing the lineup and starting lineup, the Rockets have another positive - according to Udoka, several injured players of the Rockets, VanVleet, Eason, and Whitmore will return after the All-Star break. And Bullock, the veteran shooter, is only a minor injury and is not in the way. With these celebrities coming back to play for the Rockets, Udoka is more confident, and the Rockets' outside + inside double-line strength will also be significantly enhanced. A fully available roster is the most valuable asset of the Rockets. In the last 28 regular season games, the Rockets have every chance to use the "change of lineup" and the return of core players to play differently. That experience of repeated defeats should not come again.
