Average of 26 points per game is just a guaranteed base? US media expects that Durant will start offensive mode! Rockets dual-core transformation support

Judging from statistics, in the Rockets' playoffs last season, Van Vreet averaged 18 points per game in 7 games, and his shooting percentage was also quite good. However, in the regular season, Van Vreet's performance on the offensive end was actually not satisfactory. The 31-year-old Rockets main point guard Van Vreet made 60 appearances last season, averaging 35.2 minutes per game, contributing 14.1 points, 5.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks per game.

Van Frete's shooting percentage was only 37.9% and his three-point shooting percentage was 34.5%. It can be said that this is obviously unqualified for a star point guard with an annual salary of more than 40 million yuan. But in the playoffs, Van Vreet suddenly felt hot, but other Rockets players failed to stand up to score and take over the game, which is also an important reason for the Rockets' final defeat.

In fact, Shin Kyung is also such a player. Sometimes he does not perform stably enough, but in the regular season, Shin Kyung averages 19 points per game, which is the Rockets' second offensive choice. What will the Rockets' offensive mode be next season? In fact, the Rockets will rely more on defense and team basketball to fight and win games next season. Next season, the Rockets obviously have Durant's help in key games. They are on the scoring end, especially at the critical moment of the last three minutes of the game. If the score is stalemate, then the Rockets' Durant will immediately stand up and take over the game and play a role, leading the team to win the game.

Next season, Durant is surrounded by some players with excellent defense, such as Amen Thompson, Finney Smith, Jabbarri Smith Jr., Ethan, Adams and Capela, etc. In this way, Durant only needs to devote his energy and physical fitness to the offensive end. He doesn't need anything to do on the defensive end, just defend normally, which is much easier than performing in the Suns last season.

The US media Sports Illustrated directly stated that the Rockets need Durant to stand up and score next season. As for the defensive end, the Rockets have defensive players that can help Durant relieve the pressure well. Moreover, according to the US media's prediction, Durant's offensive firepower will increase rapidly next season, and he will also enter the offensive mode. With defensive pressure reduced, Durant may usher in his best individual offensive season in recent years. In other words, Durant, who averaged 26 points per game last season, is expected to improve on this data next season. And if Durant has excellent data and the Rockets' record is outstanding, Durant may become an MVP.

Also, as for the Rockets' two other offensive points, Shin Kyung and Van Vreet, their work will be easier next season. The Rockets' dual cores last season will be transformed into auxiliary, and they will participate more in the offensive organization. After all, Van Vreet is the main point guard of the Rockets, and Shin Kyung can average 5 assists in both the regular season and the playoffs. He is the Rockets' best pass-through inside line, and even in the league, Shin Kyung's passing level is quite outstanding.

So, Durant will take over the Rockets' offense next season, and he will start offensive mode and score crazy points. The Rockets' dual-core Shen Jing and Van Freit will transform into an auxiliary, sort out the offense on the offensive end, and help teammates score. Of course, they shouldn't score less, after all, Durant is too old to keep him scoring on the court. But next season, the Rockets' offensive tactics will basically be Durant's main attack, while Shin Kyung and Van Vreet are the auxiliary and the second and third offensive options to help Durant share the pressure.
