There are many pairs of backcourt guns in the league, and the strength is very good, and it has become the target of emulation by many teams.
The Splash Brothers, composed of Curry and Thompson of the Warriors, became representatives of top projection ability, Booker and Paul of the Suns, and Middleton and Holladay of the Bucks, became representatives of organizational and scoring separation to maximize their strengths, and Trae Young and Murray of the Hawks became the models and representatives of dual playmaking guards and double super scorers.
Backcourt double gun is currently the most mainstream team building idea in the league, in the New Year for many years, there are many cases of backcourt double gun, becoming a combination of the league's top team building ideas, such as the double backcourt combination of Lillard + McCollum, the offensive firepower is very sharp, but it is always difficult to break through the playoffs, and the backcourt combination has a problem of poor defense, and was finally abandoned by the Blazers, the Rockets' Paul + Harden combination, and the combination of Harden + Wilson, became the toughest force against the Warriors, However, injuries shut the team out, and eventually the Rockets broke up and began to rebuild.
So, the current rebuilt Rockets team, it seems that in the backcourt double gun for the team building idea and team building model, the Rockets currently average the highest points per game players are Porter, Green, Gordon, Smith and Shen Jing, because Gordon is not in the Rockets' future team building plan, it is only a matter of time before he partes ways with Gordon.
At present, Jabari Smith Jr. is a scout, but its playing style is biased towards golden supporting roles, 3D type forwards, no ability to hold the ball, no scoring skills, it is difficult to cultivate it into an offensive comprehensive team building core player in a short time, and Shen Jing due to poor foot movement speed, poor ability to change defense, such limitations are very obvious, with Shen Jing as the core of the team, the ceiling of the team will not be very high, Shen Jing can not participate in the infinite defense system, in the future playoffs in the high-end game, easy to be exploded by the opponent.
From this point of view, the Rockets still seem to be building a team around a double backcourt like Jaylen Green and Kevin Porter Jr., so what are the Rockets' expectations for this backcourt combination and what will the prototype of the future become?
The Rockets used to Harden + Paul, and Harden + Wei Shao's double backcourt combination, basically the configuration of the double one, so that the two No. 1 positions appear at the same time, the Rockets have more ball holding points and main offensive points, these two can bring two sets of offensive systems, dare not let the opponent wrap, to ensure the maximum of the organization tandem, to ensure the maximization of the offensive threat, so that the value of encountering the bag is minimized.
However, whether it is Wilson, Harden or Paul, their careers have the ball in hand, almost do not play no-ball, will not play no-ball, resulting in one main offensive point holding the ball, the other more standing in place, almost not running, the team's offensive resources are not maximized, from a certain extent there is a certain waste.
And the Rockets' current dual backcourt configuration, in a sense, are shooting guard configuration, Kevin Porter Jr. career shooting guard, came to the Rockets to play point guard, the Rockets value Porter Jr.'s ability to control the movement, but Porter Jr.'s passing vision, and passing skills are not outstanding, the Rockets have spent at least two seasons focusing on training Porter Jr.
Porter Jr.'s style of play, is his own attack, with the offensive threat, the threat of passing to teammates is greater, the Rockets want Porter Jr. to play organizational guard, to give priority to organization, Porter Jr. is actually more like a dual-energy guard, to score to drive the organization, and Jaylen Green, currently more like a scorer, the resulting scene is that the Rockets backcourt double gun is the most powerful is the explosiveness of individual scoring, and the continuous offensive firepower of the two, so that the team's offense is fully fired, thereby driving other players, from the Rockets' offensive firepower is fully released.
From the current expectations of the Rockets, the Rockets' dual backcourt combination can score and pass the ball, bringing deterrence through the offensive firepower of the two, thus completely revitalizing the team's offensive system.
From such a backcourt two-gun team building idea, isn't it the current prototype of the Warriors Curry and Thompson, the Rockets' anti-Brave cause has failed in the past, the configuration of dual organizational guards, the configuration of losing to double shooting guards as the priority, the Rockets are rebuilding again, and they have begun to follow the Warriors' team building ideas.
