Gordon withdrew from the World Cup to focus on the new NBA season, and the Rockets took off again?
According to NBA reporters, sources revealed that Rockets guard Eric Gordon will not participate in this year’s Men’s Basketball World Cup in China.
Gordon said that he will train hard and prepare for the NBA next season.
With the closure of free trade during the NBA offseason, the signing battle of various teams is coming to an end. Many NBA players have also devoted themselves to intense training this summer, going all out to welcome the arrival of the new season.
As a general of the Rockets, Gordon has always been an important offensive point of the team. In the past two years, he has also been the team’s third leader except Harden and Paul, and he is the team’s well-deserved sixth man.
With his outstanding performance, he was selected as the best sixth man many times, and was successfully elected as the best sixth man in the NBA in the 2016-17 season.
His three-pointers are extremely precise and are one of the main scoring methods for the team’s bench. He often sends deadly three-pointers at critical moments of the game to establish a victory for the team.
He has participated in the three-point contest of the All-Star Game many times, and defeated Thompson Irving in the three-point contest in 2017, and won the championship in a counterattack.
Compared with his three-pointer, many people don’t know his breakthrough. In fact, he also has an excellent ability to break through with the ball. His breakthrough mostly depends on his strong physical fitness.
high.
Gordon’s character has always been very low-key, he rarely appears in public, and rarely has negative news, so he rarely appears in media magazines.
For a long time, he has been willing to serve as a green leaf beside Harden, silently dedicating everything to the team.
This summer, he gave up the opportunity to represent the U.S. national team in the Men’s Basketball World Cup and trained hard during the offseason. I don’t know if he was influenced by the Rockets’ big brother Harden, or he still has to work hard in the new season.
Harden is also training hard this summer. A few days ago, the media revealed that he and Pistons new aid Markieff Morris were training together in an arena in New York.
He also revealed to the media in an interview that he has recently developed a new footwork technique, which I believe fans will be able to see in the new season.
This summer, apart from trading Paul to get Westbrook, the Rockets’ overall lineup has not changed much compared to last season. Gordon Tucker and many other veterans will continue to stay on the team, and new aid Tyson was introduced during the offseason.
– Chandler, Bennett.
The addition of Westbrook makes the Rockets’ lineup more complete. Let’s make a bold guess that the Rockets’ starting lineup should be: Harden, Westbrook, Capela, Tucker, House.
The bench includes guards Rivers Jr., Gordon, forwards Bennett, Green, Clark, and center Chandler.
This set of plastic surgery will make the Rockets’ offense and defense more balanced, and more impactful than the previous lineup.
The Rockets performed well in the first two seasons. In the past two years, they are very hopeful to win the championship. In the 2017-18 season, they had the best record of 65 wins in team history, although they were finally defeated by the mighty Warriors.
, but the Rockets still have strong confidence in the championship.
Next season, without Durant and hurting Clay, the strength of the Warriors will be greatly reduced, but the Clippers with George and Leonard and the Lakers who “wait for Dai’s success” will become the biggest obstacle to the Rockets’ championship. I don’t know the Rockets
Can the team handle it?
However, next season’s games will definitely be very exciting. The Los Angeles Derby and the Vuitton combination are all exciting.
