Congratulations to the Rockets! VanVleet showed up in the gym to start training. He started with strength training and his recovery was amazing.

Rockets veteran VanVleet cannot play now. He was injured in training a month ago and was reimbursed for the season. Moreover, he had just undergone surgery not long ago and seemed completely unable to participate in the confrontation on the field.

However, we have also seen from some videos that although VanVleet cannot run on the court, cannot fight, and cannot even participate in shooting, he has now transformed into a so-called on-court coach and appeared in the Rockets arena to guide his teammates in training.

After all, although the 31-year-old VanVleet is not too old, he has very rich experience. During his career, he also helped the Raptors win the NBA championship with teammates such as Leonard and Gasol.

Now after joining the Rockets, VanVleet is also the tactical core of the team. With VanVleet, the Rockets have a backbone on both ends of the offense and defense. In the first two seasons, VanVleet played an important role in the Rockets' ability to become eleventh and second in the Western Conference.

Although the Rockets are now strong, without VanVleet, they really can't play this season. Now the Rockets have lost two consecutive games, with an overall record of 0 wins and 2 losses. They are at the bottom of the Western Conference. This is why the Rockets' situation is completely different with and without VanVleet.

Therefore, if VanVleet can come back quickly, it will definitely be good news for the Rockets, but in order to protect VanVleet, the Rockets will definitely not let him return this season. Even though VanVleet recovered quickly, from the perspective of protecting players, the Rockets have no need to let VanVleet come back this season, because even if he makes a forced comeback, the Rockets may not be able to win the championship this season.

If the Rockets can reorganize their lineup in the offseason next year, introduce stronger players, and add several star players such as VanVleet, Shen Jing, Amen Thompson and Durant, they will have a chance to win the NBA championship.

But now, in addition to coaching his teammates on the court, Van Fleet has also appeared in the gym and started personal training. Under the guidance of his trainer, Van Fleet trained in the gym to ensure that his muscles would not be lost. After all, it has been more than a month since VanVleet was injured and able to move freely. During this time, he has not invested in systematic training. VanVleet is a point guard known for his speed and strength.

If he wants to ensure his confrontation ability, strength and speed next season, then he should exercise the strength of his upper limbs in the gym now. After all, the injury caused by VanVleet's surgery was his knee, not his upper limb.

Now that VanVleet has resumed strength training in the gym, this is definitely good news for the Rockets. Although it seems that VanVleet is recovering quickly, it is expected that the Rockets will not force VanVleet to play this season. The Rockets can continue to practice the lineup this season, and next season will be the window period for the Rockets to compete for the championship.
