In this offseason full of variables, the Houston Rockets finally ushered in a news that was enough to make fans excited - Ben Simmons publicly stated that he would join the Rockets and become the last puzzle in the team's lineup. At this point, the Rockets' 15-man lineup was officially confirmed.

Simmons is 208 cm tall, weighs 109 kg, and has an ultra-long arm span of 214 cm. This unique physical condition allows him to easily cover multiple positions on the court and become an insurmountable barrier on the defensive end.

Looking back on last season, although Simmons' performance was controversial, the data still reflects his value on the court. He played for the Nets and the Clippers, playing in a total of 51 games, averaging 21.9 minutes per game, contributing 5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.5 blocks. His shooting percentage reached 52%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 72.7%. In the Clippers' playoff journey, although Simmons has limited playing time, his active fighting attitude still provides some help to the team on the defensive end.

The Australian star born in 1996 has attracted much attention since entering the NBA as the No. 1 pick in 2016. After a year of rest for injury during the rookie season, he officially debuted in the 2017-18 season and quickly showed his strong strength, averaging 15.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, and was elected Rookie of the Year. Since then, he has been selected into the All-Star and the Best Defensive Team many times, and won the league steals king in the 2019-20 season.

Simmons' choice to join the Rockets this time will undoubtedly bring qualitative improvement to the team. For the Rockets, Simmons' arrival not only enhances the team's defensive strength, but also adds more possibilities to the team's offense. The chemistry between him and the team's core players is exciting, and I believe that in the new season, they will work together to bring more exciting games to the fans.

From the perspective of lineup integrity, Simmons' joining further strengthened the Rockets' lineup depth. In the starting lineup, he can complement other stars and jointly lead the team to gain a lead in the game. In the substitute lineup, Simmons' comprehensive ability can also make him the team's offensive core and stabilize the team's second team's scoring. Whether on the defensive end or offensive end, Simmons will become an indispensable key player for the Rockets.

Now, the Rockets' lineup has been fully upgraded, and in the new season, they will undoubtedly become strong contenders for the championship. Simmons' joining makes the team's future full of infinite possibilities. Fans also expressed their expectations for the Rockets in the new season, and believed that with the help of Simmons, they will definitely achieve excellent results on the field and launch a strong impact on the championship trophy.
