Durant is ready to compete for MVP, and the three major stars are accelerating their transformation at the same time, making every effort to help Houston officially strive for the championship in the new season.

The Rockets' first training was outstanding

After spending two short seasons, the Rockets became a big winner in the offseason, completing 4 in and 4 out of the lineup.

not only upgraded Jaylen Green to Durant, but completely solved the team's key lack of ball ability, but also signed elite Finney Smith to fill the vacancy after Dillon left.

After cutting Landal, who was carrying a premium contract, the Rockets welcomed the "Pie King" Capela, improving the maneuvering space for the "two tower strategy". At the same time, they signed the blue-collar wing Okogi with basic salary, and gave up the new star "White Devil" Whitmore whose playing style concept is inconsistent with Uduka's defense.

In terms of lineup adjustment, the Rockets only gave out one first-round pick and five second-round picks, which can be said to have completed a comprehensive upgrade "painless" and has become one of the real favorites to compete for the championship in the new season.

Helplessly, he suffered a heavy blow when the new season training camp arrived, and the team's starting point guard Van Jordan suffered a torn cruciate ligament injury is expected to be reimbursed for the season.

Fortunately, the Rockets' remaining lineup is still luxurious, and they performed well in their first debut in the new season, and received four great news in one go.

Good news: Durant's impact on MVP

As the most important signing for the Rockets this summer, Durant will target the Rockets' key shortcomings in ball ability. However, considering his age, Durant's status and durability in the new season are worrying.

However, US media and famous speakers are very optimistic about Durant. In the latest MVP forecast list, Durant ranks 7th, second only to Alexanderna, Jokic, Doncic, Vinban Yama, Antetokounmpo and Edwards.

is the only veteran over 35 years old in the top ten MVP forecast list.

famous mouthpiece Perkins also praised Durant on the NBA Today program, admitting that the latter's organizational ability is seriously underestimated, and the Rockets do not need to worry about Van Jordan's ball possession problem after being injured. Durant can play the role of an organizational forward.

Former teammate Cook praised Durant as the best scorer in NBA history in the "Scoop B Selects" program. His ability happens to be what the Rockets need. After he joins, the Rockets will be a reasonable championship team.

Good news 2: Amen's projection improved

Compared with Durant's guest appearance as a forward to organize the pressure to share, Amen's return to the No. 1 position of the starting lineup is the first choice for the Rockets to solve the point guard rotation vacancy after Van Jordan was injured, and shooting has become the biggest challenge Amen needs to face in the new season.

The good news is that Jabbarry Smith Jr. revealed in an interview after the first day of training camp that Amen has made great progress in projection.

"He is more confident in his shooting! Especially the mid-range after the pick-and-roll, his shooting has obviously been much smoother, and the effect is naturally much better."

In addition to improving the shooting of the shortcomings, Amen is also improving in defense in the advantageous areas. In the new season DPOY prediction list announced by the US media, Amen and Davis tied for second place, second only to Homgren and Vinban Yama.

Good News 3: Shin Kyung grew significantly

Rockets' inside core Shin Kyung also achieved great growth, and led the team to win the silver medal in the European Championship to show this, and continued his good form to the training camp. After the training, Durant bluntly stated that the European Championships made Shin Kyung better and he had played in the inside line, so he was very clear about this.

Now he can do almost everything, defense, low post offense, cover, ending at the basket, blocking, and dribbling on the outside like a defender.

Good News 4: Shepard continues to grow

In addition to Amen, Shepard is one of the more critical candidates for starting No. 1 to fill Van Jordan's vacancy, and her performance in the new season will also determine Shepard's career positioning.

After the first day of training, "Piece King" Capela praised Shepard and said bluntly that Shepard has great potential and is ready. When he played with him for the first time, he scored 10 consecutive goals.

It is not difficult to see from some training camp videos officially released by the Rockets that Shepard became more and more confident on the court, directly hitting Durant's long arm and hitting a throw.
