Adams: Playing a big lineup does not mean that a big player is standing still. This will test the players ball dealer.

October 4th News Rockets center Adams said in an interview with the media this week that adopting a large lineup tactic will also bring some challenges.

Adams said that as long as the players communicate smoothly and know how to affect the opponent's defense, the Rockets can find a way to use the space inside the three-point line. For example, Adams may not force the opponent's defensive player to move when standing outside the three-point line, but if he cuts to the dunk point, it will attract the defensive player to move closer to him.

"For basketball games, the core lies in how much gravity you can use to drive the opponent's defense, right?" Adams said, "But the key is that the players must run through mutual understanding. You can't just let a group of tall players stand still. Everyone must know the strategy of rotating defense, which also tests the players' ball quotient. Only in this way can the entire set of tactics be connected."

It is not clear whether the Rockets' "hard ball style" tactics can be successful, and it is not certain how the "double inside" trend will spread. But for now, the Houston Rockets are unwavering in this direction.

"Anyway, the key is to be ahead of the trend," said Adams. "You can't do whatever others do.
