Zhang Jiawei: To some extent, Amen Flagg’s status is close to that of the forward, but his body and skills have been dragged to the No. 1 position

November 4th NBA regular season news, the Rockets defeated the Mavericks 110-102.

After the game, freelance writer Zhang Jiawei commented on the game. The original text is as follows:

The Rockets defeated the Mavericks without any danger. The defense has won four games in a row.

Since the Rockets changed formations: 137 points, 139 points, 128 points, and 110 points today. Durant only made 6 of 18 shots in 38 minutes, the fewest this season: the Mavericks' defense is good enough. Only in the last 4 minutes, the Mavericks didn't make a single shot.

But after a few rounds, clues can be seen:

Flager defended Durant at the top of the arc, Shen Jing backed up, and Amen launched a shot. The Rockets led 101 to 99 - "Rookie, you go to defend the top scorer in history!" "Me?"

Amen scored a team-high 27 points, but missed the last two counterattacks in the fourth quarter. After Durant ran out of energy, the Rockets' last effective source of offense was Shen Jing: feeding Amen for a throw, and then dribbling halfway to the basket to challenge Gafford for a one-on-one throw - Shen Jing is still the team's decision-maker.

The Mavericks flanked Durant and Shen Jing in the half, leaving Okogie, Ethan and Amen in the dunk position. This is the Rockets' current offensive sequence: Durant is the best scoring terminal and containment weapon; Shen Jing is the offensive axis; Amen is the transition from defense to offense and terminator.

Flagg broke through today, made pick-and-rolls, took roll calls with the ball, and shot Amen from the weak side; but the smoothest game was when he bullied Sheppard. He is comprehensive, but still lacks special skills.

At the last moment of the game, Amen went to face Russell, and then switched to guard PJ. The Rockets kept using Okogie to deal with Flagg. Only in the last round, Amen blocked Flagg's three-pointer.

Flagg's defense: The Lone Ranger dares to let him face Durant.

Flagg's offense: Amen would go to Russell and P.J., and have Okogie on him -- until the final drive.

To some extent, Amen and Flagg have similar statuses: the team's third choice on the offensive end, and 100% trust by the team on the defensive end.

and:

are both forwards' physical skills and were dragged to the No. 1 position.
