Wu Shuai created the epic front line of five tigers? The "Five Deaths" have both offense and defense, and no one can escape the nightmare!

After Durant joins the Rockets, what will the Rockets have in the 25-26 season? In the 24-25 season, Durant averaged 26.6 points, 7 rebounds, 4.4 assists per game, with a real shooting percentage of 64.2%, making the second highest in his career. More importantly, after suffering from a ruptured Achilles tendon, he played at least 62 games in two consecutive seasons, which is already very good. Of course, injuries are also part of the game. As many as eight people have suffered Achilles tendon injuries this season. They can only use players with caution to make them play more reasonable. How will Uduka, who has always valued defense, use Durant?

From the perspective of ball usage, Durant (29%) replaced Green (24%) is perfect. Durant is the best in the league's singles efficiency, and Green can barely rank in the top 60. In other words, if Green's singles rounds are replaced by Durant this season's playoffs, the Rockets will definitely advance. Even when facing the Timberwolves, Durant is unsolvable.

Talking with data, Durant scored 1.16 points per game last season, while Green only scored 0.86 points. Although Durant's usage rate is higher, Green's average number of shots last season was about the same as Durant.

From the perspective of organizational offense, Durant will become the Rockets' offensive center, averaging 4.4 assists per game in his career. With rich experience in the battle, Durant can shoulder the heavy responsibility of both offense and defense, in other words, the role of "leader".

To be honest, the Rockets introduced Durant only has one purpose, that is, to strive for the championship. Even without Durant, the Rockets can still achieve very good results in the West, where powerful people gather, at least they can make it to the playoffs, right? During his 13-year playoff career, Durant averaged 29 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists per game, plus 1 steal and 1 block, and his shooting percentage was surprisingly high. In contrast, Green has only played in one round of series, and averaged only 13 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists per game, and barely passed the shooting percentage.

From the perspective of defensive performance, the gap between Durant and Green can be said to be a huge difference. Green's performance on the defensive end can only be considered average, but Durant's defense is top-notch in the league, as long as he is willing to defend. Durant is a player who is capable of defending from second to fifth. To take a step back, the Rockets nowadays do not need Durant to be the core of defense. There are Shin Kyung in the front position (also very excellent), Ethan + Amen + Smith Jr. + Whitmore, and Van Vreet and Holiday in the backcourt.

Do you still remember how the powerful teams dealt with the Rockets last season? The simple eight words, "contract the penalty area and set rocket projection".

With Durant, this tactic will be completely dismantled. If he puts a mid-range distance, Durant's shooting percentage will be about 55%; if he puts a three-pointer, his three-pointer shooting percentage will be 43% last season. In other words, the Rockets' own defensive system may not be able to defend against Durant's singles - the top scorer in history. What if he double-teams him? The cost may be higher because he is willing to share the ball and is good at passing. The forward combination of

Amen + Durant will give a headache for the entire league. One is an outstanding athletic ability and good at hitting the penalty area, and the other is a super scorer with no blind spots in the whole game. If the two of them and Shin Kyung pick-and-roll, it will be even more incomprehensible.

The Rockets' most troublesome lineup in the 25-26 season will definitely be the "Five Deaths": Amen + Ethan + Durant + Smith Jr. + Shinkyung, among which Amen, the shortest, is also 2.01 meters. After sending Dillon, Amen, Ethan, and Smith Jr. will all win more time. After trading Green, Shepard will also win the opportunity to prove himself. Of course, Whitmore will also have more time.

The Rockets in the 25-26 season will inevitably be a popular team to win the championship. How to ensure Durant's health is the most important issue that Ukraine and the management need to solve.
