It is said that defense can win the championship, but the Rockets did not go far in the playoffs last season, because although the Rockets' defense is first-class in the league, no one can stand up to score on the offensive end, especially at critical moments. Therefore, the Rockets, which only know how to defend and not attack, were still eliminated by the Warriors 4:3 in the first round of the playoffs.

The Rockets now have strong defensive capabilities, but on the offensive end, the Rockets still need a superstar scorer to come forward and help the team score. In this way, the Rockets can win the NBA championship with a strong shield and a strong shield.

The Rockets now have first-class defensive capabilities, and his arrival directly upgraded the Rockets' outside firepower. In addition to the inside ace Alperen Shinkyung, who averaged 22 points per game in the European Championship, the Rockets will have more confidence in their offense next season. More importantly, the Rockets have taken Durant into account, and they won't have to compete with super scorers like Durant next season. Being able to get a super scorer like Durant, coupled with the Rockets' defensive ability, they really have a chance to go further next season.

22-year-old Rockets star forward Amen Thompson talked about Durant when he participated in a show. He showed up directly and said that it would be very interesting to work with Durant next season, because he had to defend Durant during the previous showdown, and Amen was the one who defended Durant.

Amen modestly stated that he is not the best defensive player in the league, but he is also one of the top defensive players in the league, and he must be hit by Durant when facing him. Obviously, Durant is taller and can pass the ball. Every time he faces off against him, he can give more than 8 assists. Now the two are playing in the same team, and then the opponent needs to double-team the defense of Durant, so the other four players will have many opportunities to score easily. With a super scorer like Durant, Amen Thompson is still very happy. It would be great to play in the same team with Durant at that time.

In other words, when superstar Durant joined the Rockets, the Rockets finally achieved a strong alliance. Because Amen is a top outside defender, he can defend the basket, and Durant is one of the best scorers. In this way, Aerospace City finally formed a lineup that is both offensive and defensive.

Amen Thompson can join forces with Durant in future games, and there will be more opportunities to score easily around Durant, and he doesn't have to face Durant in future games, which also makes Amen Thompson very happy. The former opponent has now become teammates, so as long as the Rockets can ensure the health of the main players next season, they will be the favorites of the championship. At least Amen Thompson thinks so, joining forces with Durant, everything for the Rockets next season will become very simple.

Of course, 37-year-old Durant must be healthy. Fortunately, the Rockets will use Durant in the playoffs more. In the regular season, the Rockets have so many young players and excellent role players. As long as they can stand up and play, Durant only needs to average more than 20 points per game to lead the team to win.
