Net efficiency +12.5! The Rockets are No. 1 in the league, and the impact of Durant joining is really huge

The Rockets have won three consecutive games after losing two games in the beginning, with a current record of 3 wins and 2 losses. Van Jordan is reimbursed for the season, and Uduka wants to experiment with the top five, and Durant's integration also requires continuous adjustment. With the addition of these three factors, it's pretty good that the Rockets can still achieve such a record. The most important thing is that the Rockets only lost 5 points against the Thunder and Pistons combined. This also shows that the lower limit of the Rockets' new lineup is extremely high. They can still maintain high-intensity defense during the integration stage of new players. The only thing lacking is lineup debugging issues.

Now that the Rockets lineup has basically been debugged, after Okogie started, the Rockets' offense and defense have been fully improved, and the top five are only used for harvesting in a certain period of time. The change brought about by replacing Jaylen Green, Dillon and the No. 10 pick with Durant is that the Rockets' offense has greatly improved. Last season, the Rockets were among the top four defensive teams in the league and were once ranked first. However, the offense is fifth from the bottom in the league. Green is replaced by Durant, and the Rockets have a huge gap between the league's first and second offensive efficiency.

In addition, the Rockets' net efficiency value +12.5 today also rose to the first place in the league, because the Spurs lost the first place to the Suns in an upset loss. The most important thing is that the Rockets' luck has also come. Tomorrow against the Mavericks at home, three players from the opposite team will miss the game. NBA reporter Mike Curtis reported that Lively has a knee sprain, Big Eyebrow has a calf strain, and Exum has a knee sprain and will miss the game. I won't say much about Irving. It's hard to say whether he can complete his comeback this season.

In the current winning rate prediction, the Rockets have an 84.4% probability of winning the game. After beating the Mavericks, the Rockets will face the Grizzlies, Spurs, Bucks, Wizards and Trail Blazers. Judging from the Grizzlies' recent internal strife, Morant is highly likely to leave. It shouldn't be a big problem for the Rockets to win over the low-morale Grizzlies. Among them, the Bucks and Spurs may be difficult to deal with, but today the Suns helped the Rockets find a way to deal with Bunyama, which is unlimited flanking. A big man can stand up to Wenbanyama, and a defender can take out the ball to solve the problem. Wenban has a big problem with the ball after being double-teamed.

So let's see how the Rockets continue their winning streak. The addition of Durant really gives Rockets fans confidence. Especially his scoring stability and ability to attack at critical moments. Rockets fans have really endured a lot in the first four seasons. Snow Green is a ghost. They can only be super for 20 games in a season, and they are super in other games. He didn't play the game normally, he was either a god or a ghost. In addition, Green is always unable to stand up at critical moments, and he is weak on the defensive end. Jaylen Green's offensive efficiency was last among the league's starters last season, but what about Durant? Alliance efficiency comes first.

The rocket is equivalent to exchanging an inferior horse for the superior horse of the sun. It may be a pity to pay Dillon. This is also the reason why the Rockets lost two consecutive games in the beginning. In the top five, Amen is the only player with quick feet who can guard defenders. But Amen was tired of defending the perimeter alone. At this time, Okogie emerged to replace the functionality that Dillon left, and the Rockets defense returned. So in other words, the Rockets traded Jaylen Green for Durant, and Okogie's basic salary filled Dillon's function of 80 million. As for the No. 10 pick, which originally belonged to the Suns, the Rockets couldn't train their own rookies, so if they just gave it to the Suns, the Rockets would be making a fortune.

Durant is equivalent to Jaylen Green, who can play 82 games, so the Rockets' offensive efficiency ranks first in the league, and their defense is even more suffocating. Durant was second in the league in limiting opponents' field goal percentage per 100 possessions last season, and Amen was first in the league. This deal with the Rockets is an explosive improvement on both ends of the offense and defense. It also got rid of Green's big contract. His new contract will take effect this year. It's like the Rockets took Green's four-year rookie bonus, and then exchanged meat tickets for Durant. They didn't suffer any loss and maximized their profits. Green, who was an iron man in the Rockets, has yet to make his debut with the Suns. Dillon is also injured. The Rockets have sent two injured players to the Suns. Booker is suffering even more than last season, as if he was suffering from Huanglian.
