Rockets improve their offense? Uduka makes a request! Two types of players are introduced during the offseason, and where is the weak?

The instability on the offensive end has become the biggest obstacle to further the Rockets. In the playoffs, the Rockets' shortcomings were infinitely amplified, the team's offense was repeatedly deadlocked, and the shooting percentage fluctuated. Especially the main scoring guard Jaylen Green, who averaged only 13 points per game in seven playoff games, a sharp drop in scores of 7 points compared to his average of 20 points per game in the regular season.

Not only that, he failed to double in three of his seven games, and two other games only scored 12 points and 11 points respectively. The offensive end cannot open the situation and lacks stable scoring output, which becomes the key factor in the Rockets' final defeat to the Warriors 3:4 and being eliminated.

In fact, the Rockets' inside offense is not weak. Veteran Adams has excellent ability to eat cakes and can score a second tip-in after grabbing the rebound; Jabbarry Smith, Jr., can shoot three-pointers from the outside, and can also make stable shots from mid-range. His shooting ability and ability to open up space are second to none among Rockets' inside players.

In addition, Amen Thompson, who changed to play power forward, often hit the basket with the ball at the starting position, and has a high scoring efficiency. Especially in the tiebreak battle, Amen Thompson frequently broke through with the ball, putting great pressure on the Warriors' inside. His performance is the only highlight of the Rockets' tiebreak battle. Shin Kyung averaged 21 points per game in the playoffs, and was also the Rockets' best low-post scorer in the interior, and even the league's top scoring center, so the Rockets' inside score is not a problem. The problem is that the attack on the outside is seriously blocked!

For the Rockets, it is urgent to improve offensive efficiency. Both Jaylen Green and Van Fleet's performance have problems with instability, especially Jaylen Green. Although the Rockets management still believes that he is worth cultivating in the future and is expected to grow into a top scorer, looking back on the past four seasons, Jaylen Green's growth trajectory seems to be gradually disconnected from the Rockets' expectations.

Rockets general manager Raphael Stone will face a major test this summer. In the past four years, the Rockets have selected many outstanding rookies, and players such as Shin Kyung, Jabbarry Smith Jr., Amen Thompson, Jaylen Green have become the core of the team. Next, in addition to making some achievements in this year's draft, strengthening the lineup and enhancing the team's strength through signings is also an inevitable choice for the Rockets this summer.

The Rockets obviously hope to "make up for whatever is missing". In terms of defense, the team does not have obvious shortcomings. It has many defensive players, both outside leaders and insiders are full of talents. However, what the Rockets urgently need is outside players with stable shooting ability and independent offensive strength. Rockets coach Uduka showed up directly in an interview. He said that the Rockets urgently need players with a free throw shooting percentage of 90% and a three-point shooting percentage of 50% in the playoffs, which is exactly the team's most urgent need at the moment.

Although Uduka did not clearly point out his ideas, this statement is undoubtedly a request to the management that this summer, the team's lineup must add stable free throwers and excellent shooters to improve the situation of weak offense. In the regular season and playoffs next season, the Rockets need a top scorer to support the team's scoring. Therefore, players who can score key goals stably and players who have efficient three-point shooting ability will be the two types of signings for the Rockets this summer. To strengthen the team's weaknesses, Manager Raphaelstone is destined to be arduous this summer.
