Win-win! The Rockets and the Lakers are planning a 1-for-1 deal, and Knector and Whitmore swap their bosses?

Basketball

The Rockets defeated the Warriors away and dragged the game into a tiebreak battle, which was a result that most people did not expect before the game. The pre-match predictions of the two teams' sixth game given by the authoritative American media ESPN showed that the Warriors' winning rate reached more than 60%, while the Rockets' winning rate was less than 40%. But this is the charm of competitive sports. The young players of the Rockets are not affected by many factors such as unfavorable situation, away games, lack of experience, etc. They fully utilize their outstanding athletic ability, good physical condition, proactive defense and strong rebounding ability, and take the initiative on the court throughout the game. Even though Curry and Butler worked together to score 56 points, the role players performed poorly. The Rockets, in a desperate state, united and finally left the Chase Central Arena with their heads held high.

Rockets head coach Uduka adopted a very successful tactic in this game. He always adopted a multi-player double-team strategy against Curry on the defensive end, creating difficulties for his moves. On the offensive end, no matter who faces Curry, he will resolutely play singles. This greatly consumes his physical energy, causing Curry to exhaust his physical energy in the critical fourth quarter game and is unable to affect the situation. In addition, Shin Kyung and Adams' double tower tactics gave the Rockets more second offensive opportunities. Even though the Warriors adopted the tactics of cutting Adams many times in the third and fourth quarters of the game, Uduka firmly kept him on the court and did not change his playing style. When the game between the two sides dragged into tiebreak and the Rockets returned to the home Toyota Center Arena, the balance of victory seemed to have tilted. The Warriors were like the end of their strength. Head coach Steve Cole had few cards in his hand, and the Rockets had found a way to restrain the Warriors.

For the Rockets, the only drawback in this game is that the performance of the substitute players is once again awkward. Especially the performances of Whitmore and Shepard, who appeared in garbage time, were disappointing again. They were confused on the court, casually dealing with the ball, and had no ambition to speak of. Uduka is a head coach who doesn't rub the sand in his eyes and attaches great importance to the players' attitude. Especially for the White Demon, who repeatedly provoked Uduka's authority, it is very likely that he will leave Houston this summer. Because of its top athletic talent, strong self-confidence and rich offensive methods, Whitmore does not lack suitors in the free agent market. Recently, there is a trading rumor related to Whitmore and the Lakers. Let's take a look together.

US media "Open Sports" reporter Dan Favale suggested that the Rockets and Lakers teams will negotiate a 1-for-1 trading offer in the offseason this summer to achieve the goals they need. If the negotiations go smoothly, older rookie Kennector is expected to land in Houston, and his talent in projection will help the Rockets. The specific trading plan is: the Rockets send Cameron Whitmore to get Dalton Kneckett from the Lakers. Kneckett averaged 19.1 minutes per game this season, scoring 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists, and shooting 37.6% from three-pointers. For a rookie player who was outside the lottery zone in the draft, his performance was amazing enough, but when Doncic joined the Lakers, head coach JJ Redick scored Kneckett into the cold palace, especially in the playoffs, he rarely had a chance to play. The Rockets need a pitcher in their tactical system, and Knector meets the needs of general manager Raphael Stone.
