On October 2, Beijing time, the Houston Rockets ended their last preparation training before the preseason. According to the latest news, after the three-day training camp, the Rockets only had a short rest for 2 days; while Stone did not waste time, and completed a 4-for-4 big deal in just two days, which helped Silas get veteran Favors, further improving the thickness of the inside line, and at the same time picked up a future second round pick.
Next, the Rockets management will likely continue to trade, reducing the roster to 17 players (15-man roster + 2 two-way contracts) before the new season arrives. According to this plan, all Rockets' marginal players will give it a try in the preseason to try to get the last chance to stay in the team. From the schedule, the Rockets have a total of 4 games in the preseason, and tomorrow the Texas Civil War will usher in a highly anticipated showdown, with the Rockets fighting Spurs at home. Because it is the National Day break, I believe many fans are ready to watch this showdown.
is basically sure! The Rockets' opening game was revealed
. It is worth mentioning that in this preseason opening game, according to Silas' pre-match report, he will use a brand new lineup to attack the Spurs; this includes several big deals in the offseason, and Boban and Favors will all get the opportunity to play. As for the five starting players that fans are most concerned about, according to the group confrontation of training camp, it is basically certain that the five starting players of the Rockets tomorrow against the Spurs are: Potter, Jaylen Green, Godon , Smith and Shin Kyung . Such a lineup is basically the starting lineup of the regular season.
As for substitutes, Ethan will become the super sixth player, and Tyte Washington, Matthews, Christopher and Martin Jr. will also occupy a certain amount of time. It can be said that this Rockets does not lack talent , and the biggest problem to test Silas is the degree of running-in. If he can tie these players together, I believe that huge energy can burst out in the new season.
Of course, Rockets still have at least $75 million in signing space in the offseason next season, and signing 1-2 superstars is not a problem. Therefore, the Rockets will continue to focus on cultivating young players in the new season. As for the record, they will still play one step at a time. The Rockets management will hope to sign up for the offseason next season.
26-year-old supernova absent, Stone strengthens the back-up
Unfortunately, in this game, , Tate will be absent , according to , , "Houston Chronicle" reporter Jonathan Feigan, said that Tate will not play against the Spurs due to sore left ankle, but fans don't have to worry, Tate's injury is not serious, and the Rockets' doctor is also for protection reasons. After all, Tate has firmly placed on the Rockets' rotation list for the new season. If Tate is absent, then 33-year-old veteran Gordon will serve as the starter, and Ethan will have more opportunities to play. After all, in Stone's team building philosophy, these young talents are the future hopes of the Rockets.
So, against the Spurs tomorrow, Silas will likely use the starting strategy of three defenders with double towers. If this move is not good and Ethan performs well; Silas will gradually make Ethan the Rockets' starting third position, but such operations require time to settle, and Ethan needs to complete the running-in with his teammates. As for the Rockets' next transaction, the Rockets will still focus on Martin Jr. and Gordon, and at the same time, it will narrow the 19-man lineup to 17. Next, we can look forward to Stone's methods.
