Because of injury and health regulations, the Rockets' roster has been changing.
In the Rockets' loss to the Digital Man, the Rockets' starting lineup was Green, Gordon, Matthews, Theis and Tate, which is the first time this season that the Rockets have put up such a starting lineup.
The Rockets started the Rockets' starting lineup against the Nuggets in a game that was Porter, Green, Gordon, Tate and Nuwaba, which was the first time the Rockets had used such a starting lineup this season, and for the first time, Wood did not get a starting opportunity when he was able to play.
You know, before green and Porter returned from injury, the rocket's long-term starting lineup was Gordon, Brooks, Matthews, Tate and Wood, and such a starting lineup helped the Rockets win 7 consecutive games, which is the best starting lineup for the Rockets in the offensive end space.
During the Rockets' 15-game losing streak, the commonly used starting lineups were Porter, Green, Tate, Theis and Wood.
Last season, the Rockets were the team with the most changes in the league's starting lineup, with 72 regular season games last season, the Rockets' starting lineup was as high as 42 sets, and injuries have prompted Silas to stretch the line-up and constantly compromise.
This season, the Rockets' starting lineup changes are still very frequent, on the one hand, due to injuries, although the injury problems encountered this season are not as serious as last season, but the Rockets several important players are isolated, Porter, Gordon, Shin Kyoto more or less suffered from injuries, prompting Silas to change the lineup, coupled with this season's health management regulations, the players are forced to quarantine, which aggravates the difficulty of the head coach's platooning.
From the different starting lineups, the impact on the rotation of the team, as well as the combination of the lineup is different.
When Theth and Tate put on the starting lineup at the same time, there will be space congestion on the offensive end, the development of the offense becomes difficult, the efficiency of the offense is not good, and once the player's physical fitness declines, it is impossible to continue the offensive efficiency.
When Porter and Green are on the field at the same time, the team's defense must not be good, Porter's no-ball leakage is serious, Green's defensive experience is insufficient, there are problems with defensive scale and defensive position, plus with Wood, the team's defense is simply unwatchable.
When Nouaba and Tate are on the floor at the same time, it is the best lineup combination for the Rockets' offensive and defensive vitality.
When Brooks + Matthews + Gordon are on the floor at the same time, it is the best lineup for the Rockets offensive end, the least difficult lineup for the Rockets to develop offensively, and the most efficient lineup for the Rockets.
The strength of the Rockets' starting lineup and bench lineup has been changing, and in the recent past, the Rockets' bench lineup has been in the stage of digging holes, and at the beginning of the season, the Rockets' starting lineup often digs holes, and the benches are constantly filling holes.
The root cause of this change is that Gordon changed from a substitute to a starter, reducing the offensive firepower of the bench, as well as the stability of the attack, Shen Jing's injury and Shen Jing's limitations in some games are unquestionable, Augustine, Martin and other players are isolated by health management regulations, which greatly reduces the immediate combat power value of the bench lineup, and promotes a huge rout in the bench lineup, both organizationally and offensively.
From the current point of view, Porter and Wood do not play, there is a stage impact on the part of the team, but the team's spirit is better, the problem of the Rockets' lack of offensive endurance is still the same, the team's offensive grade is not enough, the Tess and the team's playing style does not match, various problems, extremely test Silas's platoon arrangement, and the compatibility between the Rockets players, each time the adjustment of the starting lineup, is a reflection of Silas for the rotation.
