Houston Rockets version of the Nine Sons Fighting the Throne, Who can successfully ascend the throne

Rebuilding a team in the NBA league is a major issue and the ultimate topic that tests the team's general manager's business ability. This season, the Oklahoma City Thunder is full of energy and unstoppable. After thirteen years of hard work and tasting gall, the team's general manager Presti has once again built a team competing for championships. His success also taught all managers in the league a reconstruction teaching class.

Especially the Houston Rockets general manager Raphael Stone, he is very eager to replay the Thunder's successful mode. This season, the Houston Rockets returned to the playoffs as they wished. The team has taken a new level in the reconstruction process, but their performance in the playoffs is not ideal. One of the biggest problems exposed is the lack of the core. Although there are many potential rookies in the team, their ceiling prospects seem to have not met the requirements of the championship-level team, and they all want to play a core position. Therefore, the current situation of the Rockets is very similar to the nine sons' battle for the throne during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Today, I will create an article on the Houston Rockets' version of the nine sons' battle for the throne.

Previous statement that the characters compared in this article are all substituted according to the plot of the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" starring Tang Guoqiang, and have nothing to do with historical facts. Another thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts. This article is all my personal opinion. Since only the fourth prince and the thirteenth prince are positive characters in the play, and fans of other roles such as the prince and the eighth prince will definitely have different opinions, so these fans are calm and don’t be Ma Guocheng.

The long river of history rolled forward, and the Houston Rockets dynasty changed. By the fifth year of Stone (Raphael Stone served as general manager of the Rockets in 2010), the undercurrent of the Aerospace City was surging, and a "nine sons' throne" about the team's core status game was staged. This was not only a competition for the team's status, but also a competition for hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth. It was like a mirror, reflecting the complexity of human nature, the magic of money, the charm of status, and the cruelty of the NBA.

Emperor Kangxi - Raphael Stone

Time is ticking. Since ancient times, he has been ruthless in the NBA, and the right to who can finally ascend to the core throne of the team is in the hands of Raphael Stone. Since he ascended the throne in 2010, he has carefully cultivated the princes and hired famous coaches to preach for the prince. At first, he also liked Prince Jaylen Green, but after several years of tests, Jaylen Green was deposed, which triggered other princes' competition for their core status. It is still a mystery to see who he is in the future.

The eldest prince Yinzhen-Volite

As the saying goes, the elder brother is like a father. As the starting point guard in the team, VanVolite is equivalent to the important task of managing the Royal Family Clan Mansion under the control of Yinzhen. His age is not suitable for the top position and only plays a transitional role in the team's reconstruction process. However, with Prince Jaylen Green being deposed, he accidentally became the number one core position (the annual salary this season is as high as 42.84 million). When Stone hopes that he can reduce his treatment, he did not agree. He still wants core treatment at the end of this season. This is just like when the prince was deposed for the first time in the TV series, the eldest prince asked to kill the prince. His mediocre performance last season could not match the position, and his strong attitude of seeking a maximum salary has made Stone lose trust in him.

Deposed Crown Prince Yinreng-Jerlen Green

Jerlen Green has been smart since childhood. People often praise him for his talent as "upper limit Jordan and Kobe". In 2021, he was named Prince by Stone as the second-level show. He even sent first-class university scholar Stephen Silas to be a teacher to teach patiently, but after four years of training, the final result was "upper limit Jordan Poole and Kobe White". The contract renewal of $105 million in three years was officially officially He declared that his position as prince was deposed. Jaylen Green performed well this season, as if the prince was re-activated in the TV series. He was lost again in the flattery of his supporters. He performed extremely poorly in the playoffs. In the TV series, the prince and his young stepmother Zheng Chunhua got together. Jaylen Green fell in love with Zaya Michel, who was more than 10 years older than him. Michel's son is older than Green. He seems to have not put all his thoughts on basketball, and it is not far from being deposed for the second time.

The Third Prince Yinzhi-Adams In the TV series, Yinzhi often shows himself as a "scholar". He has a high reputation among literati, a kind and low-key personality, and has little interest in fighting for power. He is only obsessed with editing books and history. He is deeply appreciated by Emperor Kangxi. Of course, his personal abilities are weak and not suitable for inheriting the Grand Principality. Adams has done two things steadily for so many years in his NBA career, pick-and-roll and rebounding, and is also deeply trusted by the head coach. Especially this year's playoffs, he has performed efficiently again and gives people a sense of ease as soon as he goes on the court.

The fourth prince Yinzhen-Amen Thompson

The first protagonist appeared. The fourth prince in the TV series was not recognized by Kangxi from the beginning, but with the tenacity, courage to take responsibility, excellent qualities, decisiveness and calmness he showed in the process of being deposed, and his far-sighted vision in the process of the prince being deposed, he finally won Kangxi's trust. This season, Amen Thompson is like Yinzhen, with a strong personality and decisive playing basketball. In the TV series, Yinzhen has a owed debt to officials. Some reckless impulses are a very offensive job, but they also reflect Yinzhen's determination to take responsibility and be wholeheartedly in the country. This season, the young Thompson also showed a daring attitude in the series against the Warriors. When the team was in trouble, it was he who firmly chose to break through the ball to attack the basket. Although the efficiency was average, he had shown core potential and showed the best defensive player potential on the defensive end. As long as the offensive ability is continuously developed in the future, he would be a superstar with an offensive and defensive combination, and he was also the chosen person of the Rockets..

Eighth Prince Yinsi-Shenjing

Shenjing fans should not criticize me for the first time. The reason why I listed Shenjing as the Eighth Prince is not that he is as hypocritical, sarcastic, and good at using power as in the TV series. However, in the TV series, when the Crown Prince Yinreng was deposed for the first time, the eighth Prince Yinsi quickly took office. His title of wise king is well-known all over the world, and a group of officials represented by Prime Minister Tong Guowei strongly supported him. He was about to ascend to the throne. Now Shen Jing The situation is very similar to his. With the abolition of Prince Green, Shin Jing successfully replaced the position and became the Rockets' star. His style and style of play were nicknamed Jokic Jr. Currently, he has strong support from Rockets Tong Guowei-Uduka. Although he failed to sign a maximum salary when renewing the contract, he was only one step away from becoming the top position in terms of reputation and treatment. In the TV series, the Eight King fell in the last step to the throne, and the Eight King became the Big Trouble. In the future, Shin Jing also needs to work harder and not repeat the mistakes of the Eight King.

Ninth Prince Yinzhen-Jabbarri Smith

In the TV series, the Ninth Prince is greedy, stupid, arrogant, and has first-class wealth-making ability. He has many disciples, but he is very loyal to the starling brother. When he was the imperial envoy, Nian Gengyao, he also showed a character of being able to bend and stretch. Smith Little has nothing to do with him in terms of personality and behavior. The reason why I put him in the identity of the Ninth Prince is mainly because he is deeply bound to the eighth Prince. Smith Little is not in conflict with Shen Jing as a space-type insider. Shen Jing's ability to support also requires Smith Little projection space, and the two can form complementary double towers.

The 10th Prince Yinye-Dillon Brooks

The 10th Prince Yinye is simple-minded, impulsive, reckless, arrogant and spoiled, but he also values ​​love and friendship. Although he is an opponent with the 13th Prince, he stands up and talks for the 13th Prince when he is framed by someone. Dillon Brooks has a very similar personality to him. He often has physical conflicts with his opponents on the court and has a group of mortal enemies on the account book, but he is very affectionate to his teammates. When his teammates are bullied, he always rushed forward to stand up for his teammates at the first time. This famous NBA man hates his opponents and likes his teammates. Shen Jing, a good boy, needs Di Long to charge in the battle.

The Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang-Tari-Ethan

The Thirteenth Prince is the most popular character in the Yongzheng Dynasty. He values ​​love and righteousness, chivalrousness, wise and brave, capable ministers and officials. He is the most solid helper of the Fourth Prince. There are many scenes in the play that rely on military power to turn the tide. Tari-Ethan is very similar to him. As a substitute, he immediately brings vitality and help to the team's offense and defense ends as soon as he appears on the bench. The all-round Swiss military knife attribute is extremely helpful to the team, and the fighting spirit and the style of the team are all corresponding to the benevolent and righteous character of the Thirteenth Prince.

The 14th Prince Yinzhi-Reed Shepard

As the youngest prince in the battle for the throne, Yinzhi could only rely on the Eighth Prince Party (Yinsi, Yinzhi, Yinzhi) in the early days. He seemed to be a core member of the "Eighth Prince Party", but in fact he had personal ambitions. In his later years, he volunteered to be the general king and accumulate political capital to take the opportunity to obtain the throne by quelling the rebellion in the northwest. Shepard, as the 2024 Tanhua Show, the draft template is a genius like Curry and Trae Yang, which also represents the future of the Rockets. But he is in a very ordinary situation now. The Rockets have left the reconstruction period and entered the competition period, which has caused Shepard to lose a lot of leveling opportunities. He can only rely on Shen Jing during the rookie period, seize the opportunity to accumulate capital so that he can compete for the throne in the future.

The plot of the Houston Rockets' battle for the throne will continue to be staged in the future, and the plot will still be ups and downs. Let's wait and see who can finally take the lead.
