Dongjuan team coveted the Rockets coach? It was directly rejected! It implies that future tactics still rely on defense

Offense can win games, but defense can win championships. This is the most popular sentence in the NBA. But now this is actually a bit problematic: a team that has always only defended but not attacked will still not win the championship. The Suns could only attack and not defend at that time. Although there were star players like Nash, Marion, Joe Johnson, and Stoudemire Jr., and their running and bombing tactics and fast-break basketball made the offense as smooth as mercury, their defensive ability made D'Antoni's Suns team repeatedly fail in the playoffs and failed to go too far.

The Rockets are the opposite of the Suns at that time. Now the Rockets have a full ability to compete with each other and their defensive ability is also top-notch, but on the offensive end, the Rockets do not have a good player to stand up. The 7 young players selected by the Rockets in recent years will immediately become sluggish after encountering strict defense on the offensive end, including Jaylen Green, the Rockets' average scorer. The Warriors defeated the Rockets with a balanced offense and defense and eliminated them. Therefore, it seems that it is difficult for the Rockets to go too far by relying on defense, which is also the reason why the Rockets management wants to chase superstars - getting superstars can directly improve the Rockets' unfavorable offense and quickly improve the team's overall strength.

In addition to superstars, the Rockets need some shooters to strengthen their shortcomings. However, the Rockets have not signed any players or made any transactions, but have received bad news: the Eastern Conference powerhouse New York Knicks, who just fired coach Thibodeau recently, is currently coveting some famous coaches including Rockets coach Uduka, and other coaches include Finch of the Timberwolves and Coach Kidd of the Mavericks.

However, the Rockets management directly rejected the Knicks' request to enter the Eastern Conference Final this season - after all, the Knicks required to interview Uduka, and the Rockets directly rejected this request because Uduka's coaching contract with the Rockets will not expire in two years. There are also reports that the Rockets saw that Uduka performed well, so they might give him a significant salary increase; even if the four-year contract expires, I believe that the Rockets will still leave Uduka in two years.

Although the Knicks wanted coach Uduka, the Rockets' helm, the Rockets management knew the interests and directly rejected the Knicks' proposal. If Uduka is poached by the Knicks, the Rockets' entire tactical system will collapse directly - after all, Uduka is one of the best defensive coaches in the league, and the Rockets' defensive ability this season is also among the top five in the league.

The Rockets rejected the Knicks' actions to recruit Uduka, which also implies that Uduka will continue to stay with the Rockets as head coach for a long time in the future, and also imply that the Rockets' future tactics will still rely on defense. After all, the Rockets are now unable to start the offensive end and lack super scorers. If Uduka is poached again and the defense that the Rockets rely on for survival is gone, it will really become a team that cannot attack or defend. So what is the difference between it and the Rockets led by Silas back then? The Rockets still rely on Uduka's defensive tactics without getting a super scorer for the time being, which is the wisest choice.
