The Rockets long-term contract renewal of Uduka! In the next few years, the Houston style may be confirmed

On June 20, Durant and the Finals were originally the two popular selling points in the NBA recently, especially Durant's transaction, which seemed to be more exciting than the finals duel. For the Rockets, Durant is one of the superstars they must win. Although the Heat and Timberwolves are now competing for Durant with the Rockets, the Rockets also have their own advantages. According to reports, the Rockets plan to send out this year's No. 10 pick with Jaylen Green and some extras to exchange for Durant, and may also add players like Jabbarry Smith Jr., but the Suns are hesitating now, and the Rockets may not necessarily exchange for Durant.

If Durant was not given at the age of 37, it would not be the end of the world for the Rockets, because the Rockets' style of playing has long been arranged. Since Silas was dismissed and the Rockets poached Uduka, the Rockets' defensive ability has been improving. The Rockets ranked second in the league in defensive efficiency this season, and they are one of the most defensive teams in the league. Relying on strong defense and offensive team basketball tactics, the Rockets won second place in the Western Conference in the regular season. The Rockets' unfavorable offense in the playoffs has been infinitely amplified. Although the defensive end can suppress the Warriors and sometimes even gives Curry a headache, on the offensive end, the Rockets' unscored score is a huge problem.

Now, the Rockets have finally announced that they have renewed their contract with coach Uduka on a long-term contract. Although we don’t know the length and size of the contract, we can say that the Rockets’ style of playing for many years in the future has been officially confirmed, that is, to defend well on the basis of strong confrontation.

Because the Rockets have always been a team with very strong defensive capabilities, even if Harden and Paul led the team and D'Antoni directed the Rockets, they were also a top defensive team. Coach Buzderick designed an unlimited defense replacement tactic for the Rockets. The Rockets have many players who are very suitable for small and big defense. At that time, the Rockets' offense was extremely sharp, and the defensive end was also quite stable. Don’t forget that at that time, there were defensive experts such as Ariza, Bamot, Capela, and Tucker among the Rockets.

The Rockets now also have many defensive experts, such as Smith Jr., Tate, Amen Thompson, Adams and Ethan, etc. Therefore, the Rockets stayed with Uduka and renewed his contract for a long time, which also means that the Rockets' style of playing in the future will definitely be based on defense and use defense to drive offense. At least Uduka's contract is locked in the Rockets for many years, which means that the Rockets' defense is no longer a problem.

Next, the Rockets should plan how to improve their offensive ability. After all, the Rockets' offensive ability in the playoffs this season is really worrying. On the offensive end, Uduka is not a coach who is good at coaching offense. If the Rockets want to improve their offense, they must sign a superstar to drive the overall offense. Relying solely on the Rockets' tactical system, it seems a bit difficult to open up the situation on the offensive end. The better solution is that while building a defensive system, the Rockets will sign a star player with strong independent scoring ability on the offensive end. In this way, the Rockets will become a top-level team with more balanced offense and defense.
