In this new season, the Rockets lost their star player Paul. At this price, they got the scoring machine in the regular season, from the lightning king of Thunder, Westbrook.
Theoretically, both of them are equally excellent backcourt players. Paul's passing vision is broad, his mid-range jumper is stable, and his ball control skills are superb; Shao Wei, who is physically strong, can have a huge impact on the opponent's basket, attracting many people to double-team defense, thus creating sufficient scoring space and scoring opportunities for teammates.
Two superstars, on the surface, have high ability. Some fans will also think that without the rockets of Sao Paulo, under the leadership of Harden and Shao Wei, they can still hit the championship. However, things are not that simple. The overall ability of a team can't be calculated simply by adding or subtracting. The communication between Paul and Shao Wei is not exactly the same. After all, people are human beings, and the value of players cannot be calculated by mathematical thinking.
One of the biggest reasons is the running-in between players. As we all know, Owen didn't get along well with the Green Army after he went to the Green Army. Have a bad relationship with the team members and have a gap with the management. Throughout history, countless stars walked off the altar after changing teams.
When Shao Wei comes to the Rockets, he will face the same problem. It will take them a long time to solve the problem just from the distribution of ball rights. As we all know, Shao Wei is famous for his singles in Thunder. The team's tactical system and pick-and-roll coordination are all organized by Shao Wei. But so is Harden. As the first one-on-one player in the league, how will Harden handle the distribution of the ball with Shao Wei?
