Too rich! The Rockets rotation is exposed, the lineup is overcrowded, and Capela can t even make it to play time

The NBA enters the offseason, and the Houston Rockets can be said to be the big winner. Their main operations include: trading chips such as Jaylen Green and Dillon to get Durant from the Suns, renewing Jabbarri Smith for 5 years and $122 million, renewing Adams for 3 years and $39 million, renewing Van Vritte for 2 years and $50 million, winning Capela for 3 years and $21.5 million, and then sending Whitmore to the Wizards for two second round picks. The Rockets are now strong and have too many people who can play, and they feel a little overcrowded. The US media revealed the starting lineup of the Rockets in the new season, namely Van Vreet + Amen + Durant + Smith + Shin Kyung.

We all know that the Rockets' lineup was that they had no superstars. They often lost their chains in the second half of the last season, resulting in a reversed under the lead and losing in the end. Jaylen Green, as the Rockets' most talented and explosive player with the strongest scoring power, had times when he exploded, but unfortunately he was digging a lot of times, which was unpredictable.

Jaylen Green has made almost no progress in four seasons, and it is no wonder that the Rockets management has lost confidence in him, so it is better to trade it quickly. Now that Durant has the key goal of the Rockets in the new season can be handed over to the God of Death to deal with, so naturally he is not afraid of being reversed again. Of course, Durant is old and cannot output firepower for a long time.

However, the Rockets' advantage lies in being too rich. The first three quarters can allow young players to attack more, and Durant takes over the game in the last quarter, which is a relatively ideal script. In addition, the Rockets' substitute lineup is also the top level in the league, with generals such as Ethan, Adams, Holiday, Finney Smith, Capela, Shepard, Tate and Harrison available.

Wuduka is about to get into the trouble of happiness. How should he arrange the player's appearance time? Looking back on last season, Uduka was a very courageous coach. He was dragging his feet on the starting lineup. He played five or five times directly, or if anyone didn't play well, then he wouldn't be able to make another appearance in the fourth quarter.

, and Uduka can set up a five-death lineup, namely Amen + Ethan + Durant + Smith + Shinkyung. If Shinkyung doesn't defend, he will be replaced by Adams. This lineup has strong attack power. Amen and Ethan can rush to the inside, Durant and Smith shoot, Adams guards the basket, and the important thing is that the defense is not airtight.

Because every position is a defensive player, once Uduka uses this lineup, the opponent will have a headache. When encountering the Thunder, the Rockets' lineup can be restrained. Not to mention the rebound, these five are all defensive players. Overall, the Rockets' lineup is flexible and changeable, and there are many people who can play, so Capela can't get through to the game time.

Shenjing started, Uduka will definitely choose Adams for the first substitute, Capela will definitely choose Adams, Capela's second substitute means that Mamba has limited opportunities to play, which is also impossible. Referring to Langdale last season, he is often hidden. It is really impossible to blame Uduka for not knowing how to adapt. Apart from Capela, Shepard also has difficulty showing herself. Durant's age is here, and the Rockets will have to win the championship next season, and Uduka cannot train Shepard at all. In fact, if the Rockets do not renew Van Vritte, they can let Amen Thompson play the starting point guard, so Shepard will have a chance to appear on the bench, but the Rockets will renew Van Jordan.

Durant recently participated in a podcast show between Nash and James. He praised Uduka. Death said: "The Rockets were one of the best teams in the NBA defense last season. Uduka will constantly change the team's defensive formation, which often makes the opponent unable to understand. He will play regular man-to-man defense in the first round, and suddenly becomes regional joint defense in the next round. Then return to man-to-man. All this is done in the first quarter. I don't care how good your team cooperates, how close the connection is, how good the passing is, how selfless the players are. If the opponent's coach does this, and you are not prepared, you will lose balance." These words are easy to understand. Durant believes that Uduka focuses on defense.

After all, the Rockets were a defensive strong team last season, but their offensive firepower needs to be improved, and they need a superstar who can play key balls. Now Jaylen Green has been replaced by Durant, and the Rockets have perfectly solved this shortcoming, so we can make a prediction. The Rockets are ranked second in the West in the new season, and there should be a very high probability of competing with the Thunder to top the Western Conference. The latest combat power ranking shows that the Rockets rank third, and the top 2 are the Thunder and the Nuggets. US media believes that the Rockets are stronger than any team in the East. In fact, the Rockets' lineup is really not afraid of the Thunder and the Nuggets.
