The difference between the NBA and other leagues is that the gap between strength and weakness is not so obvious, take the Houston Rockets, in the past few years they were still the favorite to compete for the championship, but now they have entered the reconstruction period. Of course, since Raphael Stone became the general manager of the Rockets, the team's operating thinking has changed a lot, he not only attaches great importance to the cultivation of young people, but also makes this team more humane. The rocket three old ministers reunite! Today's current situation is different, and 20 million shots are lamentable.
Rocket training atlas
The Rockets are about to play against the Los Angeles Lakers in a row, and before leaving, some media posted a collection of relevant training maps, and we can find that Ryan Anderson appeared on the court, and he was also a member of the Rockets in the 17-18 season. Looking at the identities of Ryan Anderson, Eric Gordon and Gerald Green now, the fans are also full of emotions.
Gordon
In the 17-18 season, the Rockets and the Warriors staged a classic showdown, after the battle of Tianwangshan, the Rockets also led the Warriors 3-2, but unfortunately Paul was injured and let them lose a good game, so many fans joked that the Rockets that year may be only one legging away from the championship, and these three were also teammates. Among them, the only one who is still playing in the NBA is Eric Gordon, who has also performed quite well this season, regaining the style of the former super sixth man. However, the Rockets are now in the rebuilding phase, and there is no use in keeping Eric Gordon, so it is likely that he will be sent to a more competitive team when he has a higher value.
Green
Gerald Green is a Houston native, a typical tramp in his playing days, and he was once untouched in the twilight of his career, but the Rockets gave him the opportunity to continue playing. Gerald Green also repaid this trust with practical actions, he repeatedly became a Rocketeer, and also reduced his salary to stay in Houston. Unfortunately, before the start of the 19-20 season, Gerald Green fractured his left foot, and although he has sought to return several times since then, he has not continued to play in the league. Until recently, Gerald Green returned to the Rockets again, but not as a player, but as a coach for the Rockets, and also ended his playing career.
Anderson
As for Ryan Anderson, the Rockets gave him a bonus with an annual salary of more than $20 million, but the investment was questioned from the start. Because Ryan Anderson has a relatively single function, there is no defense at all, including the ability to handle the ball. Coupled with the Rockets' lineup and technical and tactical play at that time, it meant that Ryan Anderson became a pure shooter completely, and once he couldn't shoot, it was basically useless. Later, Ryan Anderson was completely discarded as a liability, and he played for the Suns and Heat, but did not stay in the team for a long time. Now Ryan Anderson is actually only 33 years old, but he has not played for two years, although he has no plans to retire, but he still needs to plan ahead for the future.
