After 5 years and 122 million yuan renewal! Smith hopes to retire with the Rockets, he also wants to become Durant

In this offseason, the Rockets and Van Jordan signed a salary cut contract, and at the same time they settled the contract for the team's young man Smith. Xiao Jia and the Rockets signed a five-year contract of 122 million yuan, and his last year rookie contract is equivalent to binding Xiao Jia and the Rockets in the next 6 years. Based on the analysis of 22 years of Tanhua, Xiao Jia can be considered worthy of the ranking. Except for No. 1 pick, Kairo and No. 1 pick, Chett, who stabilized Smith, the others were not there to crush Xiao Jia to death.

Of course, some people must have said that Jewish also steadily defeated Smith. But we rationally analyze that if you are a senior Rockets, would you dare to choose Jewish in 22 years? He is a rookie with the 12th pick in the first round in 2222. He only jumped 2 picks Barnes with the fourth pick in 2122. Xiao Jia was once the No. 1 pick in 22 years, at least ranked first in the list, and did not drop in the rankings until the Magic chose Ben Kairo, everyone was quite surprised because they all thought it was the Rockets' dish. The first ranking in 222 was that Smith had the highest pick, Chett, and Tanhua Ban Kairo. It was difficult for these three to fall out of the top three. If possible, Ben Kairo would fall out of the top three. The Rockets had already recognized Ban Kairo at that time, and the two sides practiced tactics together and communicated with their teammates in advance. The Rockets really didn't expect Ban Kairo to be the No. 1 pick. Smith's goal is the ideal choice for the Rockets, and his performance is OK.

After Durant joining, Smith will play the role of the third or fourth position, either Amen plays 4 or Smith plays 4, and the two switch to each other. In the third year of his career, Smith was successfully replaced by Amen due to injury. Smith played 57 games last season, including 39 starts, averaging 12.2 points, 7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per 30 minutes per game, shooting percentage of 43.8% and 35.4% of three-pointers. In the playoffs, he was quite tough against the Warriors Smith, averaging 7.4 points per game, shooting percentage of 50% and three-point shooting percentage of 45.5%.

Unfortunately, Uduka didn't use Smith much in the playoffs. If he used it more, he would really hope to change the situation. Smith renewed his contract and the Rockets also began negotiations with Ethan. They all want to retire with the Rockets now, and in a recent interview with Smith also said that he wants to be the next Durant. And requested the Rockets, hoping to end their career in Houston. Smith said he hadn't reached the upper limit yet, after all, he was only 22 years old in 2003, only one year older than Shepard.

Smith said: "I really hope to play for the Rockets in my career. I don't want to leave here, I don't want to leave here at all. Since I was selected by Houston, I have vowed to win a championship here. Now we have this opportunity, we get Kevin Durant. In the past few offseasons, I have been practicing with Durant. Now he has become my teammate, he is the greatest player of all time, and I hope to be the next Durant. Learn everything about him and absorb all his game experience." After sending Jaylen Green away, the Rockets did not strengthen another shooting guard, but greatly strengthened the front line. This is Uduka's strategy. He wants Durant to play the scoreback on the offensive end and then go to the 4th position to top the defense end. Smith's transformation to No. 3 position is also a strengthening for the Rockets. After all, he can still play small forwards by moving sideways, and the point required by the wing is 3D play. Just do a good job of defense and receive three-pointers. Smith can't hold the ball, so it's better to focus on the No. 3 position. He is 2.08 meters tall and has an absolute advantage on the wings.
