Strong soldiers! The Rockets 9 players rotation emerged? Team records show photos, the luxurious lineup lacks the inside gate

Although he lost Jaylen Green, the young scorer, and even more so, Dillon Brooks, the Rockets' forward gate, relied on trading and signing to introduce star players like Durant, Capela and Finney Smith. The arrival of Capela and Finney Smith is nothing more than icing on the cake to the Rockets' already powerful inside and forward line, and the addition of Kevin Durant, the superstar, has greatly improved the Rockets' weakest scoring link. After all, Durant's scoring ability is epic. He won the NBA regular season scoring champion many times back then. Even if the Suns did not make the playoffs last season, he could easily score 26 points per game and could send 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Durant will have more opportunities to lead the offense next season in the Rockets where defensive players gather. He will no longer have to waste his precious physical fitness on various defenses. On the defensive end, there are players such as Ethan, Smith, Tate, and Finney Smith who help. Durant only needs to make the goals that should be scored, and offense and scoring are exactly what Durant is best at.

So next season, Durant will be much easier in the Rockets than he had before with the Nets and the Suns. After all, he doesn't need to sort out the offense and passes, nor does he need to defend hard. As long as he can score those goals and help the Rockets score, it is enough. Moreover, Durant can play and stop and play, and take a back-to-back break and perform well in the playoffs, which is enough, just like Adams did last season.

The Rockets' lineup is basically formed now. Although there are still salary space and player space, the Rockets' minor repairs and minor revisions should not affect the quality of the core lineup. The Rockets can be said to be full of stars now, including championship-level veterans like All-Star Van Vreet, as well as Alperen Shinkyung, the new All-Star center in the Western Conference. Amen Thompson is also a rising star forward. He successfully entered the best defensive team last season. Durant is the brightest superstar in the Rockets lineup. Now the Rockets' lineup should have no shortcomings.

More importantly, the Rockets not only have good lineup depth, but they also have 3-4 players in each position to use it. Rockets' team reporter Jackson Gatlin posted a lineup picture of the Rockets' new season, with 9 players being placed in this picture, namely Ethan, Capela, Finney Smith, Shinkin, Durant, Amen, Smith Jr., Van Vreett and Shepard, who performed well in the summer league. This should be the main nine-man rotation lineup for the Rockets next season, but it is worth noting that this picture lacks the Rockets' inside defensive center Adams, which is more or less a pity.

On the one hand, Capela of the Rockets should actually be replaced by Adams; on the other hand, Shepherd performed poorly, and his position could also be replaced by Adams.

Adams is one of the most important players in the Rockets' interior next season. He is not only Shin Kyung's first substitute, but also the core center of the Rockets' interior in the Double Tower lineup. So it is a huge regret to lose Adams in this predicted nine-man rotation lineup chart, but it has to be said that the Rockets' current lineup depth and star quality are indeed first-class in the league. As long as they can perform normally and avoid a large number of injuries, the Rockets will target the championship next season.
