Van Vreet is reimbursed for injury! Rockets take the initiative to change their tactics? Expert tips: It needs to be faster and stronger

The injury of main point guard Van Vreet has become a heart-wrenching problem for the Rockets. Although the Rockets have several sets of remedial plans, such as giving Shepard more opportunities, and perhaps directly helping Amen Thompson to the starting point guard position, and even reusing veteran Aaron Holiday, the problem is that these point guards cannot be compared with Van Vreet.

Shepard is too young, inexperienced and weak in defense; although Aaron Holiday can shoot three-pointers and defend, his organizational tandem ability is quite poor; Amen Thompson has certain passing ability, and has quite strong defensive ability and breakthrough ability, but his shooting ability will become the target of the opponent. A point guard who lacks shooting ability is difficult to open up space for other Rockets players, so Van Vreet's absence now makes the Rockets seem very passive.

The day before was a good champion, but now with Van Vreet's fall, the Rockets have become the unpopular target. Some experts even believe that the Rockets will not think about winning the championship next season. It is already a huge success for them to successfully enter the playoffs as the top six in the Western Conference.

To go further, the Rockets' goal next season may be to pass the first round of the playoffs, but they must first play 82 regular season games. Without Van Vreet, the Rockets' salary space has basically been locked, and only in December can some decent transactions be made. In that case, the Rockets may only allow three point guards, Amen, Shepard and Holiday, to hold up the No. 1 position now.

However, when talking about Van Vreet's injury, some expert Ryan Hollins said that the Rockets need to change their style of play and tactics. As a former NBA player, Hollins directly said: "Van Vreet is a world champion and he is very tough. When the Rockets do not have a commander on the court, they must rely on other aspects. The Rockets need to have a stronger defensive will and work harder to grab offensive rebounds, and cannot play the same rhythm as before. After Van Vreet is absent, the Rockets need other players to push the conversion."

In other words, in the view of expert Ryan Hollins, the Rockets must pay more attention to defense next season, especially the competition for frontcourt rebounds. In addition, the Rockets have to play harder because the Rockets have always been a tough team and they have to do better on this basis.

In addition, the Rockets can no longer slowly push the half-court attack with Van Vritte and Shin Kyung like before. They need to make high-tempo offensive and defensive transitions and run to use the Rockets' speed, talent and athletic ability, so as to disrupt the opponent's formation. Because when you fall into the positional battle at halftime, without a backcourt commander like Van Vreet, the Rockets can easily form a loose set. It is better to use speed to attack the opponent and use their talents to focus on attacking the opponent, so that the Rockets can become stronger in scoring.

In addition, the Rockets' defense needs to be better than last season, because even if the Rockets cannot score and defend their opponents, they cannot score, and the Rockets can still win. So this expert believes that the Rockets must change their tactics and style of play, become tougher, know better defense, and be more willing to compete for frontcourt rebounds, and they need to push the rhythm up.

Because there are many fast attack experts in the Rockets, such as Amen Thompson, Durant, Smith Jr., Ethan, etc. As long as they can focus on fast conversion and attack on the offensive end, the Rockets can still rely on high-tempo offense and defense to drag down their opponents and then win the game.
