The second-place sweet worries in the West: Should the Rockets break up the youth storm bet on Booker?

The Rockets' Crossroads: Do you stick to youth or bet on the present?

Watching the Rockets' boys winning the second place in the West, to be honest, I am quite pleased as an old fan. But I saw the games in the playoffs and scratched my head - I always had a breath at critical moments. This reminds me of last year's community basketball game. Our team was also as fierce as a tiger in the regular season. When it came to the knockout round, it was lost. What was missing was an old gun that could make a final decision. The two children,

Shin Kyung and Green, are indeed likable and have played well in the regular season. But did you find out? Once the intensity of the playoffs increases, they are like a good student who meets a question beyond the syllabus in the exam - they have all the basic skills, but they just can't solve the final questions. Van Jordan is indeed a tough guy, but can he expect a 31-year-old point guard to carry every game? This requirement is too extravagant. Not to mention other young people, Amen Thompson's shooting is still so touching. Although Ethan's defense is good, his offensive presence is like an invisible person.

What is the most embarrassing thing about the Rockets now? It is obvious that when it is time to get grades, I still have to wait for the children to develop slowly. This is like decorating a house, and the hard decoration is done, but it turns out that you will not arrive after three years of furniture. The Warriors next door brought Butler's operation last year was very valuable - although they didn't go far because of Curry's injury, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the deal directly raised the team to a higher level.

Speaking of trading, the recent plan of sports columnist Daniel is quite interesting: use Green + Smith Jr. + Whitmore + two first rounds to switch Booker. I have been following Booker for a long time. Although his team leader is average, his ability to score is really good. There was a game last season when we played against the Rockets, and the back jump shot was picturesque, just like Kobe when he was young. But then again, if you change the five chips to another star who has never proved himself, isn’t this price a bit painful?

Especially the child Smith, every time I see his fighting spirit when defending, I always remind me of Artest when I was young. There is also the 10th draw in the first round. You may be able to find a treasure in this year of the draft. But on the other hand, Booker, who has already played, is much more stable than scratching the lottery.
