Durant arrived in Houston, this is sweating training, Simmons learns hard

After being traded to the Rockets, Durant went to multiple cities for vacation to enjoy the offseason. It seemed that this time he was officially heading to Houston. Now he has arrived. As soon as he arrived, the team put on training suits and started training. The Rockets official released a video of Durant training, and he was sweating profusely, and his sweat dripped like water.

This reminds people of Ben Simmons. He also posted various training videos and photos online every offseason. O'Neal bluntly said that Simmons needs to post photos. Looking at Durant's training intensity, Simmons really needs to learn it well.

In addition, Shin Kyung has returned to the team now, and the Rockets official posted photos. He applied to return to Turkey to represent the country in the European Cup this year. He played very well, and his counterpart letters and Jokic were not false, and he finally won the silver medal. Now we are back to the team to prepare for the new season. I hope that Shin Kyung can play tougher in the inside next season. Green said that. Do you have to take a little bit of the attitude of a young man and respond on the court?

The only regret is that Fan Datou fell down before he started. The Rockets also officially announced today that Van Vleet successfully underwent cruciate ligament repair surgery. Medical experts have to take a minimum of 9-12 rests after the operation, which means that it is highly likely that the season will be reimbursed.

The weak point guard next season is even more unlimited. If Durant is the Rockets' lower limit, then the growth of Amen and Shepard is the Rockets' upper limit. In the end, it is too critical whether they can win the championship.

Looking at the Rockets' lineup, they are almost all players who can play. Currently, there are 14 people in the formal contract, namely: Durant, Amen, Shinkin, Jabarry Smith Jr., Adams, Fanny Smith, VanVleet, Shepard, Ethan, Capela, Green, Holiday, Okogie, and Tate.

There should be no dispute about the front line saying that the league is the first. In fact, it is said that Dillon will decline after leaving the Rockets' defense, but it is not necessarily true. There are really many people who can defend themselves, including Amen and "electric fan" on the outside, Ethan and Okogie on the wings, Capela, Adams, and Xiao Jia in the inside. Anyway, from the paper, the defense is definitely enough.

The Rockets will deal with the issue of Ethan and Durant's contract renewal. They made multiple signings during the offseason, but they let Moore go in just one second round. This is a bit incomprehensible.

As for Durant, it must be a contract with a maximum salary of 1+1. Even if the salary is reduced, it should be just a small amount, and Ethan is a little difficult to deal with. Previously, it was reported that the Rockets would give priority to Ethan's contract, but it seemed that the amount of money between the two parties had not been reached. Ethan wanted a contract like Xiao Jia, with 122 million in five years, but the Rockets did not want to give him Changyue, hoping to be a three-year contract like Green.

In the 2024-25 season, Ethan played 57 regular season games for the Rockets, averaging 24.9 minutes per game, scoring 12 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks. Like Amen, Ethan did not make three-pointers, otherwise the value would be much higher, but Amen doesn't have to worry, he will definitely have a maximum salary.

The Rockets last won the championship in 1995, which has been 30 years since then. I wonder if Durant's arrival can help the team and win a championship by himself.

Looking forward to the Rockets in the new season, looking forward to Durant, Du Xiao Du, help me open the new NBA season!
