After the All-Star Game, the Rockets completed two operations. One is to sign Carroll, who reached a buyout contract with the Spurs, and the other is to give Jeff Green, who was laid off by the Jazz this season, a short contract of 10 days. So why are they abandoned by the team when 3d players are so popular now? What is their basketball road?
Let's start with Carol. Carol entered the league with Gordon in the same year, three years older than Gordon, which made him not selected by the Grizzlies until the 27th overall pick in the draft. Since he entered the league, he has been out of the team until he came to Atlanta to find his own position, and he won 60 games in a single season, ranking first in the East with the team in 14- 15 season.
In the following six years, he moved from one team to another every two years, and he made a good contribution. Last season, in Brooklyn Nets, Carol played 67 games, with only 8 starts, averaging 1 1. 1.5.2 rebounds, hitting 106 three-pointers in a single season and shooting 34.2%.
Why did the team give up? After coming to the Spurs, Carol didn't get much chance to play. This season, she only played 15 games, averaging only 9 minutes, averaging 2.2 points and 2. 1 rebounds, which can be said to be outside the team system. The most important factor in this result is the lineup of the Spurs.
What can they bring to the rocket?
The most important thing to trade players to the team is to solve the problem. What is the most important problem so far in the Rockets season? I summed up two, 1, the substitute team was short of firepower, and always handed over two points in single digits in the game. The team is not stable enough and the defense is poor. As we said before, the upper limit of the rocket is very high and the lower limit is also very low. The reason for this problem is that the team is not stable enough and the defense is poor. There is no guarantee that you can score the damn three points in 82 games, so you "rob the rich to help the poor" and take a strong enemy.
The arrival of Covernton has improved the defensive level of the Rockets. Although Gordon is more suitable for the position of "the sixth man" in any way, De Shuai is expected to let him start in the next game. Everyone told me that Gordon would break out after the all-star game, so let's wait and see.
