The three-high lineup has obvious disadvantages on both offense and defense. Why is the Rockets three-high lineup good compatibility?

In this round of series between the Rockets and the Warriors, the Rockets won two games in a row when they were behind 1:3, rewriting the score of the series to 3:3, and the two sides officially entered the tiebreak battle. In the last two games of the Rockets, the key point of winning is the three-high lineup, namely, Shin Kyung + Adams + Jabbarri Smith Jr., was present at the same time. The Rockets' defensive strategy of 2-3 defense has put the Warriors' offensive threat poses a huge threat.

Generally speaking, the double tower or three-high lineup is no longer the mainstream of the league. When the offensive space becomes the mainstream, the three-high lineup is very chewing space. The defensive end emphasizes unlimited switching and footwork movement speed. The two-tower or three-high lineup runs contrary to such an era. Why are the two-tower or three-high lineups so effective in this round of series against the Warriors?

Let's take a look at the special nature of the Rockets lineup. Uduka usually sets up a defensive lineup of two towers or three highs in the substitute connection. Shin Kyung's role and position are the core of the supporting penalty area. On the offensive end, they often occupy the high position in the middle, participate in the initiation of pick-and-roll or hand-hand tactics, or Shin Kyung can hit the opponent with his back in the penalty area, and can have hooks or shots end through strength or technology.

If Shin Kyung stands at a high or medium position, it can give Amen or Adams more room to play. After all, these two players' shooting abilities on the offensive end are not reliable. Of course, Adams and Amen also have certain passing skills and abilities, which can also allow Shin Kyung to catch the ball from the bottom line to end. The Rockets' three-high lineup essentially needs to sacrifice Shin Kyung's comfort on the offensive end to be compatible with Amen or Adams. Therefore, Shin Kyung's many mid- and long-distance shots, especially the mid- and long-distance Golden Rooster Independence, is a performance that Shin Kyung is compatible with his teammates on the offensive end, because Adams and Amen are both inside, and the Rockets' inside space is too blocked.

Shen Jing can take care of Amen or Adams, and it is not easy for the opponent to think of it. After all, Shin Jing is not far in shooting range and does not have any three-point shooting ability. Moreover, Shin Jing's dynamics and dynamic qualities are very average. The Rockets kept trying to test the lineup in the later part of the regular season, which has laid the foundation for Uduka's double tower or three-high lineup.

Shen Jing can coexist with Adams or Amen. The Rockets' major confidence and ability is that Shin Jing has excellent reading game skills, good passing vision, can attack at high and low posts, and has a certain mid-range shooting ability, although it is not stable.

If Shin Kyung cannot play at the same time with Amen and Adams, then how badly the Rockets will be ravaged by the Warriors in this round of series. After all, for a single center, whether it is Shin Kyung or Adams, they are easily targeted by Curry. The combination of Shin Kyung and Adams is different from the inside combination of Jokic and Aaron Gordon. Jokic's mid-range shooting ability is far superior to Shin Kyung, Jokic's passing vision and passing ability are also stronger than Shin Kyung, and Jokic's face frame or back-playing is also stronger than Shin Kyung, and Jokic's playability is significantly better than Shin Kyung.

Shin Kyung is a more "soft" player compared to Jokic. Such "soft" does not lose more free throws. Shin Kyung can always find some whistles, and his influence and threat on the offensive end can support the Rockets, but Shin Kyung's overall free throws are not very good, and he often wastes these opportunities to create free throws.

On the defensive end, the problem of Shin Kyung's slow foot movement and the problem of Shin Kyung's poor selection of pick-and-roll defense were exposed in the regular season, but in this round of the series, Uduka used a double tower or three-high formation to make up for it.

Shin Kyung faces Curry's pick-and-roll targeting, all of them are forced to delay. After all, Curry's shooting is too terrifying. Such a defensive strategy does not require Shin Kyung to think too much, and the problem of pick-and-roll selection naturally does not exist. When Shin Kyung was transferred out of the inside, the Rockets also had Adams, Jabarri Smith Jr., Amen and other players who could protect the rebounds and protect the penalty area. The Rockets solved the problem of Shin Kyung being transferred out of the inside, and the poor inside defense was easily solved by Uduka. Shin Kyung's poor defense was unlimitedly improved by the three high lineups.

Judging from this round of series, Shin Kyung is still the one who decides the Rockets' lower limit, but Jaylen Green is no longer Jaylen Green. After all, 6 games and 5 games were bad. Amen has become the first choice for the team's future team building core
