Durant s trade is officially completed! Player number is revealed, and the new Rockets era officially begins

On July 7, a thunder thunder occurred during the NBA offseason! The super deal involving seven teams has settled, and the league's top scorer Kevin Durant officially put on the Houston Rockets' jersey. Evan Sidery, a well-known NBA reporter, brought exclusive news as soon as possible: Durant will wear the No. 7 jersey again in the Rockets.

For Rockets fans, the number No. 7 instantly ignited memories and expectations. This is not only the number Durant chose during the Brooklyn Nets, but also the special significance of his key turning point in his career.

Why reselect No. 7? Durant personally revealed the reason. When he changed from Thunder's No. 35 to Nets' No. 7, he admitted: "After experiencing serious Achilles tendon injuries and various ups and downs, I longed for something different. A small number, a brand new feeling." He also mentioned the power of his idol: "Look at Kobe, Jordan, LeBron, and Cameron (Anthony), they all have two iconic numbers in their careers." Now choosing No. 7 again in Houston undoubtedly symbolizes the opening of another new chapter - this number seems to have become a unique mark of a major turning point in his career.

At the same time, the new number of another Rockets "old friend" Clint Capela has also been confirmed. This "Bief King" who was once loved by Houston will bid farewell to the former No. 15 jersey and change to the No. 21 jersey. The reason is simple. Shepard has taken over No. 15. Capela's "giving up" this time also quietly conveys the signal of the team's new and old inheritance.

A big seven-team deal, two key players' "number change declaration", the Houston Rockets' lineup has undergone earth-shaking changes this summer. Durant wears the familiar No. 7, indicating a comprehensive upgrade of the Rockets' offensive firepower; Capela's return to No. 21 strengthens the depth of the inside. With a brand new number, a brand new combination, a brand new goal - young talents such as Durant + Shin Kyung, the Houston Rockets' new season journey has already sounded the whistle of setting sail in the number change. The fans' eyes are now firmly locked in the Toyota Center Arena, waiting for No. 7 Durant to lead this brand new rocket and set off a new storm in the West.
