Former Rockets reporter Feigan said: Durant s offense is unsolvable but his defense is down

Before August 6, the NBA Rockets and the Houston Chronicle retired reporter Feigan was interviewed by an interactive interview on a podcast column and publicly talked about the focus of the Rockets' offseason lineup upgrade: "

It is obvious that Stone has not stopped this summer. His signing and upgrading work this offseason is very fast. I rarely encounter the Rockets with such efficient action. They must be excited to achieve the second regular season record in the Western Conference this season and advance to the playoffs, especially seeing the young Thunder win the championship. All this stimulated the Rockets to upgrade again on both ends of the offense and defense!"

"The Rockets were able to get star Durant by sending away Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks. This is one of the most sensational trades in the offseason. I think the Rockets got their dreams The super scorer I ask for is a stable firepower that Jaylen Green cannot provide. We always believe that Durant is still the killer's character, but his energy on the defensive end has dropped rapidly. In the Suns this season, we saw that he can no longer contain his opponent's score one-on-one. This requires young people such as Rockets Amen Thompson and Jabbarry Smith Jr. to actively provide Durant with assisted defense to relieve his pressure on the defensive end! "

"The Rockets can get veterans such as Finney Smith and Capela, which will definitely improve the team's offense and defense end again, but the new players in the offseason have increased too much. Their chemistry and running-in strength are the key. You can't hurry. It's a bit difficult to expect them to advance to the finals in the new season. It needs to give the Rockets a full integration process! "
