Today ESPN wrote an article talking about the key data of each team, believing that the Rockets introduced KD to solve the only singles problem. The Rockets have performed well in almost every aspect of the past season, but one weakness has cost them a heavy price. According to Cleaning the Glass, the Rockets are only 22nd in half-time offensive efficiency, the worst of any playoff team and especially difficult to score in one-on-one situations.

According to statistics, the Rockets scored only 0.91 points per single in the regular season and playoffs, and only the Jazz, Wizards and Raptors were worse than their singles scoring rate. The Rockets' outside players were unable to continue to create good shooting opportunities when facing a fixed defense, and Van Vreet, Amen Thompson and Jaylen Green all struggled.

Kevin Durant's arrival not only solved the Rockets' previous problems, but also led the league in singles efficiency last season, scoring 1.21 points per single. The Rockets have a weakness, and now they have solved it. With Durant taking control of the offense at a critical moment in the game, the Rockets will become a force that cannot be underestimated in the West.
