The Rockets bid farewell to young players and will rely on them with all their might, and the assist king is officially on the throne!
It's no secret that ahead of this All-Star weekend, there is a good chance that players will be plagued by injuries. How so? First of all, halfway through the tournament, a lot of people are already tired, unless you have enough quality, otherwise, there will be some injuries more or less. Looking at Embiid again, aside from the surprise of the battle with the Warriors, Embiid has been injured for a long time, which can be regarded as a very hard thing, because the number of injuries is increasing, so there will be more and more. Second, most athletes, when they participate in All-Star Weekend, are relatively relaxed, because once their nerves are relaxed, the chance of injury increases. But you have to understand that injuries are inevitable and you can't help it.
Everyone knows that the Rockets have achieved a lot in this season's regrouping, but they have only taken a small step and not soared like the Thunder. In terms of the Rockets' current results, they are not even 50%. The Rockets are one step away from the playoffs, and their primary opponent is the Jazz, but the Warriors will also need to be on their toes. However, it was at such a critical juncture that the rocket was tormented by injuries. In fact, the Rockets have had a lot of injuries this season. Prior to that, Abdul-Jabbar Smith and DeLong were sidelined due to injury. One more thing, and that is that Ethan hasn't come back yet. Ethan is still recovering, and the current Rockets' key player VanVleet has become the team's core player, which is no small feat.
Van Vleet's injury has been officially confirmed, according to ** reports. VanVleet suffered an injury to the inside of his left foot, which put him in trouble. How long will Van Vleet's injury last? The Rockets also did not give a definite answer, and the date of his return is also unknown. In fact, such an injury is not an easy thing, he must have a good ** process, otherwise, there is a high probability that new problems will arise. VanVleet has been doing well this season, averaging 165 points, 82 assists, 37 rebounds, but he shot just 409%。Van Vleet was the top scorer of the game, and his absence will still have some impact.
VanVleet is still out of injury, and he's about to say goodbye to the Rockets, as well as to Houston. At the moment, the Rockets have reached a very important period, and without that, they will have nothing this season again. Therefore, Van Vleet's injury is definitely not a good thing for him. However, there is no way to do this, the rocket must move forward. The Rockets need more young players, especially Green and Shen Jing, who need more help. Green's scoring average this season has dropped a lot from last season, but the lad is still very hardworking. One more thing we have to be clear is that Whitmore has been excellent and very competitive, and if VanVleet can't play, she will get more playing opportunities. DeLong and the others still have a lot to do.
Now is a good time for the development of rockets, and we must not rush for a while, we must have long-term planning. Maybe they don't have as much potential as the Thunder, but if they keep fighting, they'll earn a playoff spot in the West. In general, the current league is still dominated by young people, because they carry the expectations of the entire league, because they will have to rely on adding some popularity to the league in the future.
