Famous reporter: With Durant joining DFS, the Rockets are expected to gain strong defense and offense

According to famous reporter Kelly Iko, he wrote an article to talk about whether Durant and Finney Smith can strengthen the Rockets' biggest shortcomings.

He said: "The key to the Rockets' early exit in the playoffs is that (except for lack of experience) its half-field offensive space problem (and the derived three-point shooting dilemma) throughout the season has worsened to the peak. This flaw is deeply rooted in the team's traits, so that when the opening whistle of the most critical battle of the season sounded, the offensive sluggishness was revealed.

In the life-and-death battle, the Rockets made only 5 of 17 shots from the three-point line, and scored only 78.0 points per 100 rounds of half-time offense. For comparison, the Hornets, who are at the bottom of this regular season, can still score 90 points per game.

The management clearly realizes that despite having elite defense, if you only rely on offensive rebounds to crush your opponent, the offensive end must be completely upgraded. In any transaction involving players leaving the team, Jaylen Green and Dillon, introducing space-based players has become a necessity. These two were originally the core of the Rockets' three-point system, ranking first and third in the team per game, and their shooting percentages are both top six, which can be regarded as the pillar of external firepower.

With Durant and Finney Smith joining, the Rockets are expected to transform into the league's most efficient half-court offensive team and form the deadliest outside firepower group."
