The scary thing about the Lakers' lineup is that there are five or six players on the offensive end who have the ability to average 20 points per game. The defensive end has a thick eyebrow gasol protective frame on the inside line, and the two people also have the ability to block and dismantle. There are Tucker, Pope, Caruso on the outside, and the key three people can also change the defensive line. Looking at the Lakers' team's main rotation lineup, each one has three-point ability and offensive ability to hold the ball (although there are strong and weak, but good and evil) Space can be pulled at will. The ball carrier has more little black and Tucker, although it is not yet mature, but it still shares the pressure on James, so that James retains physical strength and can switch attack modes at any time, the thickness of this lineup is simply terrible!
Lakers anti-rocket tactics. It is that it will not let the rocket break through and will not let the rocket block the dismantling and cooperation. Forced the Rockets to shoot 3 points. 3 points to kill the Lakers that also recognize. Now the whole league and the whole league have thoroughly studied the rocket's tactics. I really want to say that the Rockets are poorly defended. But the defense for a while was also quite strong. The other is that the Rockets lineup is still in the run-in stage. Plus the more you lose, the more you lose confidence. Motivation is also not enough. Harden needs to find his place when to pass and when to attack. Other players also need to adjust. Wood's defenses have yet to be strengthened. Harden has reached the limit of his possession of the ball, and learning to play without the ball is good news for the Rockets now. But to go further. It's no ball + defensive improvement. The season has only played about ten games, the road behind is still very long, early loss and early reform after the success of the run-in, the future of this season can be expected.
This obvious rocket hit too tightly, and the Lakers are more prepared. Cousins was sent off two games in a row, both at his best, and he rebounded a lot better in the backcourt. Wood came up a few three-point shots are not good, McLemore is also, the opportunities are out, throwing in is another matter, there is no other team in the league that is better than the Lakers, so shooting outside is king, and there is no way. The Rockets need to reinforce the meat shield center, just play for 15 minutes.
Now the Rockets want to win, and defense is one thing. On the other hand, when the team is not in good shape, it is necessary to let Harden play more singles, and not let Harden play too much ball. When the situation cannot be opened, the effect of decentralization is worse, and when Harden is needed to stand up, it is still necessary to let Harden attack with the ball. Harden is a rhythm player, and harden, who is known to hold the ball, is the most efficient. When the team's offense cannot open the situation, Harden should stand up and lead the team with his own strength.
