They are all veterans! But if Harden can lead the Rockets, the effect may be better than Durant!

109-112, the Rockets lost to the Nuggets at home. Aaron Gordon was injured and left the game within a few minutes of the game. I thought that facing the Nuggets, who were missing a core, the Rockets could win the game, but in the end they were defeated by Teacher Yue! Durant is always old. He only scored 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists on 5 of 14 shots from the field and 1 of 5 three-pointers. Durant's performance can win against the weak team, but against the Nuggets, which is second in the Western Conference, Adu is obviously lame!

It can also be seen from the game that when the Rockets did not have a point guard, Uduka sent in a lineup of the top five lineups of death. It was obviously ineffective. The team's lineup only scored 8 points in the first quarter and dug out a ten-year-old. The big pitfall of multiple points, the entire game's offensive development was too limited, only Shen Jing frequently played in singles, and Shen Jing's efficiency in singles was not as good as that of the one in the East. A big center made 6 of 14 shots and scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Against the real teacher Yue, many shortcomings were obviously exposed!

Up against his own template

So it can be concluded that what the Rockets really lack is a good point guard, and if Harden can lead this group of young people in the Rockets, the effect may be much better than Durant, because Harden this season is not only a strong individual, but more importantly, his 8.7 assists per game are the key to revitalizing the team.
