Full marks during the offseason! Stone: We are still hunters; there is no substantial honor. Everyone is very committed to fighting.

August 23rd News Today, Rockets General Manager Stone was a podcast program on ESPN and talked about the current situation of the team.

The Rockets performed well in the regular season last season, won the second place, and had a relatively successful offseason operation. They introduced Kevin Durant, Finney Smith, Clint Capela and Josh Okogie and were praised by various media, but Stone said: "We still need to uphold the 'hunter' mentality and be full of hunger because we have not won actual honors. We do not have the qualifications to relax. In fact, our senior executives have long expected the results of last season, that is, every time we lose, we will feel unwilling to accept defeat. This attitude of not giving up is what we need. It has always been maintained, and we should not take it lightly just because the media said we are good."

In addition, Stone believes that the team's boys are very strong. He said: "Young people like Jabarri Smith, Ethan, Amen Thompson, all have unyielding personalities; veteran Van Vreet is the strongest player in the NBA and has a 100% winning mentality. Everyone is training very hard this summer, such as Amen, Van Vreet and Uduka practice boxing together, which is said to be helpful for playing... This kind of fighting spirit is exactly what the Rockets need."
