The Rockets tactical system has failed. We should be lucky that there is only Durant as a veteran. Look at the Clippers and Warriors

The Rockets have a big problem with the draft. With so many first-round picks, there is no real core. For example, why did they choose Sheppard as the No. 3 overall pick last year? There are several successful white small guards, but they didn’t pick the good Castle, because of Green, or Amen, people This year, he has surpassed Amen in all aspects. He is better than Amen in terms of points, rebounds and assists. He also has 3 points. Look at Sheppard, how does his talent compare with others? Castle, 1.98 meters tall, weighs 7 kilograms more than Amen. This is a good figure for a heavy point guard.

They were successful in the second year, and Sheppard couldn't even play. Amen seemed to have no hope of a three-pointer. His future was not as good as Castle's. They surpassed Amen in the second year. Was it because the Rockets couldn't draft him? It was because Uduka looked down on him and wanted Shepard by name! The Spurs have completed their reconstruction, and they already have Samsung, Wenban, Castle, and Harper. Think about how many first-rounders the Rockets have, and Shen Jing is a bit like it. Smith Jr. has also fallen to the bottom dozen in the same league, and Green is the result of the trade!

In fact, the most outrageous thing about the Rockets offense is that it has no offensive tactics, and the offensive efficiency can be so high. Most of the time the offense is handled by Shen Jing and KD. If there are no double teams, it is left to Shen Jing and KD to play singles. In this league, there are not many who can guard against it. The Thunder's defense is so good and there is nothing they can do against Shen Jing, let alone KD who is slowly regaining his form.

If they are double-teamed, Amen and Djia are both inside and outside, and they are also very threatening. If there is a trade in the mid-term to replace Okogie with an outside shooting point, the Kaizi's White or Simmons, the offense will basically be unable to defend, and it depends on the Rockets' own state.

Back to the game, just like what Udoka said, the Rockets did not respond well to the opponent's confrontation today, especially Smith and Durant. Udoka is indeed to blame for this game, but a good woman can't make cakes without straw. If the big head is there, even if Durant's singles are cut off, Shen Jing can start with Lao Fan, and he can initiate by himself at 15, and there is a strong point on the outside.

This is completely different in a strategic sense. You have to admit, the lineup is deformed. To be honest, Xie Pode played well today, but it is unclear what the Rockets' top management is planning. They want both and want it, and it is estimated that there will be no talent in the end. Even if Xie Pode played very tough today, I am afraid that this season will not be able to plug the big hole of defenders. The overflow of forward personnel makes it impossible for Smith and Eason to stay on the court for a long time or with the ball.

It's a bit internal consumption. Durant can still play for 3 years. In this case, there is another one behind him, and Amen, Ethan and Smith are destined to not stay. Now this approach consumes their value.

Shen Jing and Durant may not be far away from injuries if they continue to play like this. There is no doubt that Udoka is a good coach. On-the-spot command is a weakness and cannot be avoided. If the team wants a future, you have to be clear about who will keep you in the future. We will wait and see who will stay for another 20 games. I hope these players can get along well as soon as possible and keep them all.

The Rockets still have a long way to go to compete for the championship. The current basket is very poor, and the three-point production is insufficient, which leads to the offensive end being unable to open up. When facing strong teams, they will double-team KD, because your KD is getting the ball at 45°C. Strong teams can rotate quickly and give you some open shots. However, the Rockets' current basketball baskets are not very reliable and cannot support the three-point production.

The Rockets' operations may result in them not being able to win the championship in the future, as they have not learned the strengths of rebuilding the team at all. If you make the wrong move to trade for Durant, it is likely that the young players will not have a period of improvement. Look at what was done back then. Paul entered the playoffs that season and decisively traded Paul and Alexander. The Rockets just traded Green for the inefficient player. Head coach Amen and Shen Jing. Now Durant is here to take up a lot of the ball. This group of players may miss the ball period. Can we honestly say that this lineup can win the championship within two years? Obviously Durant can't be old.
