Average of 13 points, 14 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, the Rockets reorganized the no-fly zone under the basket! One high and one fast partner, the double tower lineup is upgraded

Many years ago, the Rockets were still a team with very shortage of centers. At that time, coach D'Antoni focused on the Rockets' outside offense. At that time, the Rockets had two superstars Harden and Paul on the outside, but the inside was always lacking star-level centers. So many years have passed, and although the Rockets do not have that kind of superstar in the back line now, they do have a group of very useful players in their center and inside positions, such as last season's Double Tashi Shinkyung and Adams, as well as third center Jock Langdale.

And now Landal has been cut and joined the Grizzlies, the Rockets' inside strength has not declined but increased. They retained Adams and Shin Kyung, and signed Clint Capela, a center who can protect the basket and eat cakes for three years, with 21.5 million yuan. Last season, the Rockets used a double tower lineup, namely the combination of Shinkyung and Adams. Shinkyung attacked at the basket, and Adams helped Shinkyung assist in defense and position. Although the two centers are slow and lack shooting ability, they have always had the upper hand in confronting the opponent's inside players, so the Rockets, who have tasted the sweetness, will have a brand new double tower mode to use next season. In addition to Adams and Shin Kyung's interior partner, the Rockets can actually send a faster and more flexible Capela partner Shin Kyung; in addition, if coach Uduka wants to strengthen the inside defense, he can send two inside defense gates - Adams and Capela to play together.

After all, although these two players lack independent offensive ability and shooting ability, their rebounding ability and rim protection ability are at the top level in the league. In the regular season data last season, Capela and Adams averaged 13 points, 14 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game. The data looks average, but the value and role of these two players cannot be reflected or reflected by the data. The two players' defensive abilities under the basket are both top in the league. The combination of the two can produce an effect of 1+1 greater than 2. These two towers can form the Rockets' no-fly zone under the basket.

Shen Jing has average defensive ability. Last season, the Rockets' double towers were in one offensive and one defense mode. Now Capela and Adams can play at the same time, guarding the Rockets' basket, allowing the opponent to break through and attack the players under the basket to return in vain. Adams is tall and strong, while Capela is flexible and agile and fast. The partner of one high and one fast gives the Rockets' double tower lineup more choices. In addition to the offensive and defensive combination of Shin Kyung and Adams, there is also a basket protection combination of one high and one fast, which can be fully reused by Uduka.

This is also why the Rockets are willing to give up 29-year-old Jock Landale this summer and instead sign Capela with a three-year contract, because in comparison, it is obvious that Capela's inside defense is much more reliable than Landale, which is also an upgrade to the Rockets' inside position in the new season.
