Freelance writer Zhang Jiawei commented more on the Rockets game:

The Rockets seem to have temporarily found the "Durant mode" and "non-Durant mode": when Durant is in, he will shoot, and in Durant's absence, he will defend against counterattacks.

Durant played 9 minutes and scored 8 points on 8 shots. He left the game 29-25: Then the Rockets went 21-7 - all on counterattack. Amen steals and Adams makes a free throw. Amen pushed back and hit the weak side corner, and Shepard's long shot made 34-25, completed in 4 seconds. Adams blocked Cronny and fed Shen Jing to cut inside. Ethan's backcourt rebound, Amen fed Ethan's counterattack long shot: 8 seconds.

Sheppard rebounded from the backcourt, and Ethan chased and shot from a long distance: 10 seconds. A wave of 15 to 0. Amen had 4 assists in the first quarter.

Shepard fed Capela with an offensive rebound. Ethan's backcourt rebound led to a free throw. 5 seconds after Capela blocked the shot, Ethan took a long shot. Opened by 19 points.

There is still a lack of space in the half-court offense, but Twin Towers + Reed + Amen + Ethan can defend and counterattack, allowing Ethan and others to chase after them, and they can open up.
