11:04pm, 7 October 2025Basketball

On October 7, the NBA preseason continued, with the Rockets playing against the Hawks at home. This summer, the Rockets experienced a major personnel upgrade. Jaylen Green, one of the original cornerstones of the team, was sent away by the management in exchange for Durant; Whitmore was also sent to the Wizards. The Rockets have streamlined their young framework, but with the arrival of Durant + Finney Smith + Capela + Oakge and others, the team's offense and defense have been upgraded, and have become one of the important favorites to win the championship in the new season. However, in the training camp, Van Jordan suffered a torn ACL in his right knee. Although the Rockets were strong in the frontcourt and inside, the back line was indeed a bit shabby, especially in the point guard position, only Shepard and Holiday were left.

However, for Shepard, the 24-year Tanhua Show, this is definitely a good opportunity to get ahead. According to US media analysis, the Rockets are expected to give Shepard some time to adapt, and they will have to wait until December to have the opportunity to strengthen their operations. The Rockets' top priority is about the renewal of Ethan and Durant. Ethan's market is between 18 million and 22 million. He wants to get a contract similar to Xiao Jia's five-year, 122 million yuan, but the Rockets are also worried about Ethan's injury. In addition, the contract renewal between Ethan and Durant has formed a seesaw effect. If the Rockets meet Ethan's asking price, Durant may only be able to get an average salary of about 45 million at most. In addition, in the training camp, the Rockets also tried to use the five major lineups of Death, with Amen and Ethan partnering with the back line. The Hawks are worth looking forward to the new season. In the offseason, they exchanged Porzingis, won Alexander Walker 62 million in 4 years and signed Kennard. Judging from their strength on paper, they have the level of reaching the top six in the Eastern Conference. However, the management is more troublesome. This summer, he has a four-year, super maximum salary contract of 229 million yuan, but the management has not given him a quote at all. At the beginning, Doncic was replaced alone, but Trae Young was not in the upper limit, and he only played once in the Eastern Conference Finals over the years. According to US media analysis, there is a possibility that before the trading deadline, the Eagles are preparing to continue to exchange chips with Trae Young, focusing on the planning of building a future framework around Ressache + Jaylen Johnson + Daniels.

Back to the game, Durant is on the verge of the Rockets today, starting: Shepard + Amen + Ethan + Jabarry Smith Jr. + Shinkyung. Hawks starter: Trae Young + Daniels + Rissache + Jaylen Johnson + Poly. The Rockets opened fire at the beginning, Xiao Jia made a three-pointer at an open position, Shepard and Amen took turns to order the list and get the Po God, and Shin Kyung also made a strong makeover. In the middle of the game, Xiao Jia continued to make a three-pointer, Ethan continued to make a tip-in, and the Rockets had already opened up the gap of 10 points. The Eagles slowly narrowed the score difference with multiple blooms. In critical moments, Xiao Jia counterattacked one-stop, and took off and dunked with thunder on the ground! At the end of the quarter, Okerji and Davidson helped the Rockets stabilize the rhythm, and the Rockets 24-23 in the first quarter.

In the early stage of the second quarter, Shin Jing fought hard at the basket and caused damage, turning into a bulldozer. Uduka used five death lines, Shin Jing paired with Capela and Xiao Jia, and Shin Jing even dunked Capela! Then Amen scored a three-pointer, Shepard made a foul + drifted three-pointer, but the Hawks played very tenaciously and once overtook the score under Trae Young. At the critical moment, Ethan broke through and made a layup + Shin Kyung's front three-pointer. Amen and Shin Kyung stabilized the rhythm. The Rockets led the Hawks 64-60 in the first half. Entering the third quarter, Shin Kyung took the lead in the clock and got off work. Ethan continued to break through and layup. It can be seen that Ethan had obvious hard training on the offensive end this summer, and handled the ball more calmly. On the defensive end, he also hit the top pick Risa Shei!

The two teams have been unable to widen the gap. In the second half, the Rockets took the lead in replacing the main force. Capela and Holiday helped the Rockets maintain a weak lead. The Hawks also replaced the third lineup. The final score was frozen at 122-113, and the Rockets ushered in a good start in the new season. Data, on the Hawks, Trae Young scored 9 points and 9 assists, Jaylen Johnson scored 14 points, Okonwu scored 16 points, and Alexander Walker scored 13 points. On the Rockets, Shepard scored 7 points and 3 rebounds, Amen scored 11 points and 3 assists, Shin Kyung scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Ethan scored 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Adams scored 10 points, Capela scored 8 points and 5 rebounds, and Davidson scored 17 points. The biggest gain of the Rockets comes from Shin Kyung. After the European Cup experience, Shin Kyung has obviously upgraded, dared to participate in more confrontations at the basket, and has been more calm in holding the ball behind his back, and is gradually becoming more and more like Jokic. Shepard's debut at point guard was actually not very good. He had a certain degree of imagination, but he made many mistakes in handling the ball and did not have enough understanding with his teammates. Oakge also became an unexpected surprise, and the defense + impact caused the Rockets' attack and defense system to enrich the Rockets' connection section. Next is to wait for Durant's debut in the Rockets No. 9. It is expected that Van Jordan's ball rights will be shared by Amen + Shin Kyung + Durant to lead his teammates. According to the current configuration, the Rockets have 12-13 people rotation capital in the new season, and the lineup is too thick!
