The Houston Rockets have been impressive this season, and this young team has been refreshed in just one offseason. They have a win rate of over 50% and have shown incredible quality against strong teams, such as beating defending champions Denver Nuggets and beating second-place Bucks in the East. The cohesion, resilience and discipline of the Rockets make people see the shadow of a strong team.
Although the overall win rate is not too high, just over 50%, their will to fight and overall form are enough to be impressive. Especially in the most recent game against the Bucks, the referees were clearly unfavorable to the Rockets, but they still managed to hold on to the victory with a spirit of unity. Such a game will undoubtedly raise the level of the Rockets and make them more capable of dealing with tough situations.
Today's victory brings the Rockets' record to 18-16, only 05 wins. The 18th win is significant for the Rockets, as they have surpassed last season's winning tally, marking their transition from the slump of the past. Udoka brings selflessness, hard work and cohesion to the Rockets, and the current Rockets cannot tolerate any laziness and lack of aggressiveness.
The Rockets' success shows how much of a difference a great head coach can make to the team. In contrast, the Lakers' Ham needs to learn from Udoka, who has already taught Ham a valuable lesson in practice. Why can't Lakers' youngsters Schifino and Maxwell Lewis stand out, while the Rockets' Whitmore and Aaron Holiday are at their toll?
The Rockets had a rough first half of the season, but the second half was relatively easy. If the current momentum continues, the Rockets will be on track to finish the regular season with more than 45 wins to secure a top-six finish in the West. In this way, the rebuilding of the Rockets can be considered a success. In addition, they have a first-round pick from the Nets next year and a chance to get another top-tier rookie.
Over time, the Rockets will hopefully be on the rise like the Timberwolves and Thunder this season!Friends who are looking forward to this team may wish to pay more attention to the Rockets' games.
