Rockets failed in the two towers? 23 of 55 shots in the inside, with a shooting percentage of 40%! 6 of 18 three-pointers, and their shortcomings were hit

On May 5, the Houston Rockets lost to the Warriors in the tiebreak at home, and were eliminated, and their record this season was stopped in the first round of the playoffs. In fact, for the Rockets, before this season, many experts and media believed that their season cap was just a team at the playoff level, but they did not expect that the Rockets had their lives to score a record of 52 wins and 30 losses this season, ranking second in the West.

Although he met his nemesis Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets still trailed 1:3 to 3. In the dialogue between superstars such as the tiebreak battle, it is obvious that the Rockets' superstar quality is almost the same as the Warriors, and it is normal to be eliminated in the end. The Rockets have to pay tuition for their youth, but the experience of seven playoffs this season will surely allow young players to grow rapidly.

In 7 games, the Rockets have basically screened out the core and non-sale products for the future team building. Shin Kyung and Amen Thompson are all worthy of reuse, while Ethan and Smith Jr. can also stay. Veterans Adams and Van Vritte are also worth renewing their contracts to stay in the team. Like Jaylen Green, his performance was a bit lower than expected. As the Rockets' first regular season offensive player, he only had one game in the playoffs and had a normal performance of 38 points in a single game. In the rest of the games, he scored less than double the scores, which is really disappointing.

And in the 7th game where the Rockets were eliminated in this game, their tactics also had problems. Uduka made Shen Jing directly face Dream Chasing Green's attack on the basket in this game. Shen Jing made only 9 of 23 shots. Although he scored a double-double with 21 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, his scoring efficiency was very low. Amen Thompson has also been breaking through to the basket, scoring 24 points and 9 rebounds in the whole game, showing remarkable performance. But unfortunately, the Warriors blossomed from the outside, and Hilder scored 33 points alone. In addition, outside players like Curry and Podjemsky took turns to perform three-pointers, and the Rockets couldn't stand it.

Moreover, the Rockets are not a three-point team at all this season. They almost gave up more three-point shots in this game, making only 6 of 18 shots in the game, while the Warriors made 12 more three-pointers than the Rockets, and there were 36 points inside and outside. Therefore, the Rockets' tactics in this game are a bit problematic. The main attacking inside almost gave up the competition for the outside, with few shots from the outside, and their shooting rate is not too high.

If the Rockets always valued the shooting on the outside as before, they might not lose so simply in this game. Uduka is a little too confident. He believes that the two towers formed by Adams and Shin Kyung are invincible in the inside, so this game focuses on the two tower offense. But unexpectedly, the Warriors narrowed their defense and double-teamed the inside double towers. On the offensive end, the Warriors used their shortcomings of not being able to defend the two towers and looked for opportunities to shoot three-pointers on the outside. As a result, the Rockets' shortcomings were blown up, and the Warriors easily defeated the Rockets with three-point shooting.

In this game, the Rockets made only 23 of 55 shots in the inside, with a shooting percentage of only 41%. This shows that the Rockets' double tower failure, and the few outside shots are also the real reason for the Rockets' loss.
