Durant is really under a lot of pressure! There are only 6 teams left that have not won. Last year, the Rockets were second in the Western Conference.

So far in the new season, all teams in the league have played at least 2 rounds of games. There are only 6 teams left that have never tasted winning, and one of them is the Rockets. This is very surprising.

Last season, the Rockets achieved second place in the Western Conference! The addition of Durant this summer will solve the team's most lacking half-court offense problem. Logically speaking, the team's strength will at least be improved. However, the Rockets lost to the Thunder and Pistons in the first two games.

Whose problem is this?

The 37-year-old Durant scored 23 points and 37 points in two games respectively, averaging 30 points per game. He is still him~

But the overwhelming negative comments on the Internet are still directed at KD. They think that after leaving the Warriors, which team will he go to and which team will suffer, such as the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns.

Peter believes that this is somewhat of a stereotype.

The current problem for the Rockets is that VanVleet's injury has resulted in the team having no authentic defender, which makes Adu return to the painful days of the Suns in the past two years.

There is no point guard, Amen Thompson is on top, and Udoka puts in the top five starters. The entire Rockets offensive system presents a typical scene of "Adu plays alone and four people watch". Isn't this exactly the same as the Suns.

However, there are 82 games in a season and the season is long. The Rockets' record will not be bad. After all, they have talent and strength. However, the Rockets' goal is not to get past the second round of the playoffs, but at least to the finals.

Therefore, the pressure is all on Durant. If the Rockets' regular season record this year is unsatisfactory and they fail to break out of the Western Conference in the playoffs, Adu will probably be scolded again and labeled as "dismantling the team."
