In this game, the Rockets played best is Theiss, which is the best game Theiss has played in the Rockets this season, and it is also a game in which Theiss has regained his value.

In terms of statistics, in this game, Theis's playing time is the first in the team, the number of shots is the first in the team, and the scores, rebounds, blocks, plus-minus values are the first in the team, and this is the first time that Theis has multiple data in the team.
From the offensive end, Gordon's comeback is the root of Theis's outbreak in this game, when Gordon returns, the Rockets have two players who dominate the ball and handle the ball, especially Gordon is not only good at projection, but also can toughly attack the frame, and Tate's ability to toughly attack the frame, the ability to finish under the basket is excellent, Gordon and Tate's continuous attack, so that Thibodeau shouted the first timeout, when this timeout, the Knicks strengthened the defense of Tate and Gordon.
In such a situation, Tate and Gordon use their influence on the offensive end to pass the ball to other teammates, because Matthews and Brooks's feel still has not warmed up, the Rockets are more of a combination of internal crosses on the offensive end, when Tate or Gordon attracts the restraint in the offense, passing the ball to Theis, Theiss faces a very weak defense, prompting Theiss to score better on the offensive end.
In this game, Theiss scoring methods include passing through the internal pass, directly landing under the basket, easily scoring through blocking and dismantling, scoring points easily, shooting at the mid-range or near-frame distance, shooting points, and shooting at three points outside the three-point line, that is to say, Theiss' scores are basically part of the Rockets' tactical system, and the Rockets make the value of Theiss infinitely magnified through the tactical system.
In the case of tactics and cooperation, Theis showed excellent finishing ability, on the one hand, it is related to the defense of the face, the Knicks is a team with rich internal reserves, even if multiple players are isolated, the internal line still has Noel, Gibson, Randall and Mitchell Robinson, in the face of the opponent's internal reserves, Theis can also see the delicacy of Theis through rhythm and technology.
Theis not only plays a good role on the offensive end, but also performs extremely well on the defensive end.
On the defensive end, Theis against Noel, did not score in this game, and in the bench connection section, Theis against Mitchell Robinson, the score of Mitchell Robinson in this game is mainly two aspects, on the one hand, Shen Jing's performance is too bad, giving Robinson too many opportunities, on the other hand, during the Time of Theis against Mitchell Robinson, Theis was changed defense many times, big defense, the effect is not bad, giving the Knicks the dilemma of being penetrated by the inside line of multiple passes.
From the perspective of Theis's defensive effect, the 2 blocks are impressive, showing Theiss's good rim protection ability, excellent rebounding protection, when Theis is on the court, the Rockets' backcourt rebounding loss is not serious, coupled with Theis's on-site defense and co-defense, the rebounding card position, and the prediction of the opponent's offense are very good.
From the perspective of this game, Silas used Tess, on the one hand, Tess was originally an excellent player, but it did not match the Rockets' system, and the players who were present at the time were not matched, Silas did not design tactics around Theis, or Silas designed tactics around Theis, the Rockets' execution was not good, did not play out, on the other hand, in the case of Wood, Shintin and Garuba multiple interior configurations, regardless of whether the Rockets traded Tess this season, Silas finally found the right way to use Tess, If the Rockets trade Theiss, the play of this game will help Theiss improve the value of the trade, even if Theis does not trade Theiss this season, Silas knows that in what configuration Theis can play better, from this point of view, Silas found the use of Theis code, which has an extremely significant impact on the Rockets' team-building strategy.
