On January 4, Beijing time, the Rockets lost to the Digital Man team 113:133 on the road, suffering 8 consecutive defeats, which prompted the Digital Man to usher in a 4-game winning streak.
In this game, the Rockets' starting lineup is Gordon, Green, Matthews, Tate and Theth, which is the first time the Rockets have appeared in such a starting lineup in recent games.
In the last game, the Rockets lost to the Nuggets, the Rockets put forward the starting lineup of Porter, Green, Nuwaba, Tate, Gordon, this is Wood's first time this season in the ability to play off the bench, and this is also the first time that Tate and Nouaba have started this season.
Judging from the Rockets' recent 8-game losing streak, Silas has been adjusting the Rockets' starting lineup due to injury and health control regulations, and so far, Silas should not have determined the team's final lineup.
During the 15-game losing streak, the Rockets' final lineup was Green, Porter, Tate, Tess and Wood, Tate and Theth were very dragging space on the offensive end, and Wood, Porter and Green were very defensive on the defensive end, prompting this lineup to be a lineup that the Rockets did not understand offensively and defensively.
During the Rockets' 7-game winning streak, the Rockets' final lineup is Gordon, Brooks, Matthews, Tate and Wood, this lineup takes into account both offensive and defensive, but there are still many problems, Brooks and Wood's defense is not good, prompting the Rockets to often have weaknesses on the defensive end, Brooks and Wood can not prevent unlimited changes of defense, on the offensive end, in the case of Brooks and Matthews can open up space, Gordon, Tate and Wood have the ability to hold the ball to attack.
During the Rockets' recent 8-game losing streak, the Rockets have a very unusual phenomenon, Gordon's offensive desire on the offensive end is very low, the Rockets' final lineup during this period is Gordon, Green, Porter, Tate and Wood, when Porter and Green are on the court, there are too many mistakes, the stability of the offense is not good, and on the defensive end, Wood, Green and Porter are on the floor at the same time, and the Rockets' defense is easy to collapse.
That is to say, the Rockets do not have an offensive and defensive lineup, nor an infinite change of defense of the final lineup, either can protect the offense, or can protect the defense, or the offense and defense can not be saved, in this case, Silas is the player that the team focuses on cultivating, as well as the player with the highest salary on the team, and the players who the team considers the most important to play the final stage, but the effect is not good.
If there is no trade, Gordon, Wood, Tate and Green will definitely play the final stage, And Potter will also put the final stage, if from the perspective of attack and defense, Gordon and Tate can play the final stage, but the other three players may not have the strength to play the final stage.
From the current point of view, if as a young player, let Shen Jing enter the final stage is a better choice, if from a defensive point of view, Tysby Wood is a better choice, if from the offensive point of view, Wood than Tys is a better choice, the current Rockets do not have a set of final lineup that can completely take into account the integration of attack and defense, which is the Biggest problem of the Rockets at present, and it is also the most important place for the Rockets to improve their record.
