Now Stone and Udoka are under the greatest pressure. They need to prove that replacing Green Dillon with Adu is the right decision.

The Rockets suffered two consecutive losses at the start of the season, which was somewhat surprising. Stone and Udoka were under the greatest pressure. They needed to prove that the exchange of Jaylen Green and Dillon for Durant was correct.

After the Rockets lacked Van Free, Uduka had no choice but to put together the "five major lineups". After two losses, it seemed to prove that this lineup was not effective, and the pressure also followed. After all, Stone and Uduka advocated the exchange of Durant during the offseason. Now that the deal is reached, the team needs records and wins to prove that the deal is correct.

Durant also performed quite well, scoring a total of 60 points in two games. He was still the cold "god of death", but he did not win a victory for the team.

To be honest, the problem is not with Durant, but with the team's lack of a qualified point guard to organize the team's offense.

The most urgent task for Udoka and Stone at the moment is to find a qualified point guard. Whether it is tapping the potential within the team or seeking a trade, this is urgent and cannot be delayed.

At 7:30 in the morning on October 28, the Rockets faced the Nets at home. This was a game that could not be lost.
