The Rockets’ best weapon is defense?

This may be hard to imagine when your team has players like Shen Jing and Durant. However, because of the way the roster is constructed, the Rockets have a lot of long-armed players on the floor who can trouble opposing offensive players all game long. More than half of the players have wingspans of 7 feet (2.13 meters).

At the beginning of the season, their height advantage has already caused trouble for their opponents.

-Defensive efficiency 112.1 (8th in the league)

-9.2 steals per game (9th in the league)

-5.2 blocks per game (10th in the league)

-20.3 fouls per game (29th in the league)

The Rockets are one of the few teams to make a lot of personnel adjustments this offseason.

It is conceivable that once the chemical reaction is formed, their defense will become even more terrifying.
