Lead the team to 52 wins and 30 losses! Never interfere with management, Stone thanks Uduka, the Rockets contract renewal is too profitable

The Rockets won Durant in the offseason this year, and the leader was not Stone but Uduka. It was him who opposed the opposition and allowed the team management to trade, while Stone cooperated to achieve the ultimate price reduction. Since you want Uduka, you must satisfy you. From this point of view, both the Rockets management and the boss are very satisfied with Uduka. Otherwise, he would not have renewed his contract in advance, and he would have given a multi-year contract of tens of millions of yuan in annual salary. Uduka's annual salary is also one of the top group of coaches in the league.

When Fertita learned that the Knicks were interested in interviewing Uduka and tried to poach him, he was stingy and directly renewed his contract in advance at a high price. This made Rockets fans a little unexpected because they still looked down on Uduka, but the fact that the Rockets' satisfaction with Uduka is far more than the outside world expected. Since the first year of joining, the team has fully cooperated with Uduka in terms of playing style, and then directly poached all his coaching team during his Celtic period. In terms of signings, the Rockets also told everyone this year that they may still cooperate with Uduka. In the final analysis, he still has strong strength in leading the team. Last season, Udu Kam Rockets recorded 52 wins and 30 losses, but he lost second in the West, although he eventually fell in the first round. Is anyone dissatisfied with Uduka? His defensive system is still full, and his double tower tactics are both effective. It’s just that the Rockets’ star is not good enough. If Jaylen Green is replaced by Durant, Uduka wants to fill the last shortcoming.

In fact, Uduka's advantages are far more than coaching ability, but he can always find a balance between management and players. Rockets general manager Stone said in an interview with ESPN today that Uduka has never interfered with the team's management's decision, and he will just keep giving some advice. If the Rockets make the decision opposite to him, Uduka will also cooperate with him with all his strength. However, so far, Uduka and the Rockets have almost the same vision, and the two sides have never clashed.

Stone said: "I think it is the wisest decision to renew the contract with Uduka early. It is obvious that he is a good person to get along with. He knows how to find a balance between players and management. And he always believes in the selection vision of our management, even if the players we choose do not meet his requirements. But he also knows how to inspire these players. Sometimes some of the opinions he gives are also very different, because I am old and don't want to change the status quo, and always want to make stability. But Uduka will seek change, so we complement each other. So far, he is a perfect partner."

From the three-year Silas era to the two seasons when Uduka joined, the Rockets counted down to a record of 93 wins and 71 losses, which is incredible, and in comparison, you will find the horror of Uduka. For example, at that time, Monty of the Suns joined the Pistons as the finals coach and signed a multi-year contract, but what was the result? Leading the team was the last one again, and was cut off the following year. At that time, everyone kept comparing Monti and Uduka, and only then did they realize how sweet Uduka was. Some people say that Uduka is stubborn and does not use newcomers, especially the dialogue with Whitmore.

But the problem is that the white demon has a bad defensive attitude, but likes to do it alone. Don’t talk about Uduka. Even if the Wizards are in the Wizards next season, if the White Demon does not listen to the coach and continues to be lazy in defense and attack the Lone Wolf, the Wizards may not give much time. As for people employed, you can say that Uduka has no offensive tactical system and only knows the 15 pick-and-roll starting style, after all, he started his career in defense. But the Rockets themselves do not have much offensive resources, which is also the reason why the outside world feels that Uduka lacks tactics. Next season, do you see if Durant replaces Jaylen Green, will he still feel that the Rockets are not attacking?
