Revealing the Rockets free throw plan for signing the agreement! Durant promised and set a big goal: Missing free throws bothers me.

On October 31, a major Rockets training plan was exposed. According to Rockets team reporter Danielle Lerner, in order to strengthen free throws, Rockets assistant coaches set free throw goals for each player and signed an agreement. Durant promised to score 20 free throws and the free throw shooting target was 95%.

Rockets team reporter Danielle Lerner reported that each Rockets player has signed a free throw agreement tied to training this season. The terms of the agreement will be tailored based on personal training plans and goals. Durant promises to score 20 free throws in each training session.

This move originated from the idea of ​​Rockets assistant coach Hodges. When he analyzed the areas where the team needed improvement, he identified an obvious weak link. Last season, the Rockets' free throw shooting rate was only 73.8%, ranking last in the league; in the seven-game series with the Warriors in the playoffs, the Rockets' free throw shooting rate was only 70%. In this series, both teams scored a total of 728 points, but the Rockets missed 60 of 200 free throws, while the Warriors only missed 28 of 122 free throws.

So Hodges came up with a way to make free-throw training less like a "drudgery" and more like a process of "achieving a goal." He said: This is a way to hold players accountable while making the game interesting, and it seems to be working.

In the first four games of this season, the Rockets averaged 28.3 free throws per game and ranked in the top ten in free throw shooting percentage (81.3%).

Rockets star Durant's free throw shooting target this season is 95%; in the double overtime loss to the Thunder, Durant blamed himself very much. He scored 31 points against the Raptors, but he was annoyed by making 5 of 8 free throws. KD said: If I miss 3 free throws in a game, I will be very angry, and it will be difficult to concentrate after the game. Even when I'm out to dinner with family and friends, I can't help but think about free throws. Free throws are easy points. The key lies in concentration and self-control when standing on the free throw line. Sometimes you might take it lightly and just take a casual shot.

Rockets center Shen Jing’s free throw agreement stipulates that before he ends his personal training, he must make 5 of 5 free throws twice in a row; Jabari Smith Jr. must make 23 of 25 free throws before leaving the arena; Adams revealed that Capela’s goal is 50 free throws every day. When he scores a free throw, his teammates on the bench will shout: "50!"

Durant said: I think our current performance is quite stable, but I still need to do better. I think as long as every free throw can be scored as expected, it can help the team further improve its free throw shooting percentage. I am very pleased to see that everyone is confident when they stand on the free throw line, especially Adams and Shen Jing. Everyone is very confident when shooting; free throws are easy points, but they may also cost you dearly.
