The 4th and 7th league in the league! Congratulations to the Rockets, the two stars join forces and transform into a free throw team next season

There are now several superstars in the NBA. Although they have quite good strength, on the offensive end, they prefer to make fouls and free throws to score. For example, Harden, the Rockets superstar back then, often taking the initiative to create fouls to win free throws. In addition, Harden has a high free throw shooting percentage, so in the free throws, Harden should be one of the top levels in league history.

Now, like the Thunder MVP Alexander, is also a master of foul-making free throws; in addition, Doncic of the Lakers also likes this kind of scoring method. Although many fans find this scoring method quite boring, no matter what, being able to score under reasonable basketball rules is a good player. This is true for Harden, the current new generation of "porcelain kings" Doncic and Alexander.

Now, the Rockets have finally got their dream superstar Kevin Durant. Next season, Durant will be surrounded by star players such as Amen Thompson, Smith Jr. and Van Vreet. Shin Kyung's super-god performance in the European Championship made Durant very happy. After all, Durant is not alone in the Rockets next season. On the defensive end, the Rockets have a large number of defensive players who can share the pressure for him; on the offensive end, there are also many players who can stand up to assist Durant in scoring, and even Shin Kyung, who can average 20 points per game in the European Championship, is the Rockets' second scorer. After all, Shin Kyung of the Rockets is one of the few players in the league who have strong low-post singles ability and create offensive opportunities. In addition, with the two star players Durant and Shin Kyung joining forces, the number of free throws of the Rockets may increase significantly next season, because there is data to support this statement.

We see that according to statistics, Durant, who played for the Suns last season, caused 5.37 fouls by his opponent for every 75 attacks, ranking 7th among all players in the league; and Shin Kyung, a Rockets player as the center, ranks fourth in the league with 6.27 times.

In other words, these two players are quite good free throw masters. One of them ranks fourth and the other ranks seventh, and they are at the top level among all players. So, although the Rockets have long lost superstars like Harden next season, Durant and Shin Kyung can still win free throws by creating fouls and scoring easily. The Rockets can also become a "free throw team" next season. In addition to scoring at the basket and three-point shooting, the Rockets can also rely on the free throws of Shin Kyung and Durant to win valuable points.

After all, the most important issue for the Rockets now is that more players need to stand up and score. No matter how they score, as long as they can increase points for the Rockets, it is the best, because the Rockets don’t have to worry about defense at all now. What they need is to develop more scoring points outside Durant.

If these players can do a good job of fouls and winning free throws, then the Rockets can completely replicate the performance of the Thunder last season next season. Of course, it is worth mentioning that the Rockets' free throw ability last season was also a weak level in the league. Rockets players need to improve their free throw shooting percentage while committing fouls and winning free throw opportunities. If the Rockets' free throw percentage is often only 50% or 60% per game, as last season, the Rockets seem to be difficult to win even if they win more free throws.
