Average of 26+6+4! It s okay if Durant s data declines? The Rockets are proud to use superstars! Uduka is too smart

For ordinary NBA players, the quality of their personal data directly affects the size of their contracts. This is also a generally recognized truth in the NBA. After all, how a player's ability is inseparable from his data on the court. Although some players are not known for their data, they are very useful on the court, but most players attach great importance to data because the data is closely related to the salary they can get.

The Rockets' 36-year-old veteran Durant may decline next season, because the Rockets will not let Durant perform 100% in the regular season, which is also a consensus among many people. As the team's first core, Durant, who played for the Phoenix Suns last season, averaged 26 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 block per game, shot as high as 42% from the three-point shooting percentage and 52% from the field. He is also one of the most comprehensive small forwards in the Western Conference and even the entire NBA league, but Durant's physical fitness has been greatly affected.

On the Rockets next season, it is obvious that Durant will receive different treatment. Durant will have many excellent players around him to help him attack or defend. In terms of tandem, there are good players like Van Vreet, Shepard and Shinkyung, and on the defensive end, there are also big gate players like Adams, Finney Smith, Capela, Ethan and Smith Jr.

Many people believe that as long as KD performs normally next season, you don’t have to put in 100% of your efforts to deal with the regular season. Moreover, in 82 regular season games, the Rockets will definitely not let Durant play the game. After all, Durant will be 37 years old in a month. Although he is in good shape and has a lot of physical fitness, if he plays for 82 regular season games, Durant is at risk of injury. Moreover, he will be affected by physical fitness in the playoffs.

So according to the analysis of the Rockets' follower reporter Rachard Bingley, the Rockets will use Durant very carefully next season. What does it mean to use it very carefully? In other words, Durant may not get too much playing time on the basis of ensuring that the Rockets win, maybe it will take 30 to 35 minutes per game.

The Rockets' current strength is far from comparable to the Suns last season. The Rockets were already the second in the West last season. The Rockets' strength will increase next season. Even if Durant only contributes 20 points per regular season game, he can help the Rockets win more. So next to Durant, he will rely more on young players and role players to perform in the regular season next season. Durant only needs to perform stably in each game. As for the data of last season, especially the scoring data, it may decline.

But Durant doesn't care about these things. After all, he is over the age of swiping data. What Durant, 37, wants is the third NBA championship, so it doesn't matter even if the data declines. The Rockets will use Durant reasonably, and Durant is the real stage for his performance in the playoffs. The Rockets even hope that Durant can average more than 30 points per game in the playoffs.

After all, the Rockets suffered a poor offense in the playoffs last season. If Durant can play health basketball in the regular season, perform 100% in the playoffs, and kill all the players, the Rockets' goal will be achieved. This is also the main reason why the Rockets exchanged so many chips for Durant this summer. It can be said that Uduka's style of employing people is very smart. The Rockets are strong. The regular season allows role players and young players to play, play enough wins, and allow Durant to support the offense and lead the team to win in the playoffs. This is the best employment plan for the Rockets.
