Rockets tactical exercises in the new season: Durant s strong attack restrains, and Shen Jing makes the axe at a low post!

From the Rockets' recent team training, it can be seen that the team is actively practicing two sets of tactics, among which Durant and Shin Kyung are the most important.

Rockets' new season lineup

conventional tactics:

Durant's weak side bottom line restrains, and the remaining players have 15 pick-and-rolls.

Durant restrained the defense at the weak bottom line, Van Jordan and Shin Kyung picked and rolled the first five pick-and-roll, Shin Kyung either went down the box or bounced out from outside the long shot, Jia Qiang ambushed outside the three-point line, and Amen waited for an opportunity to attack the box.

The biggest advantage of this tactic is that Durant saves energy! Relying on your strong projection ability to restrain the opponent's defensive sharp swords, allowing teammates to form a 4V4 situation. This tactic, Rockets can play more in regular time, allowing Durant to keep his energy at a critical node. Once the team is in scoring dilemma, start two other tactics!

VanVleet Shenjing

Tactic 1: The goal is to be stuck near Durant's paint area.

VanVleet responded at the top of the arc, Shen Jing landed in the penalty area, while Amen and Xiao Jia were on the flanks.

① If the opponent does not take double-team, Durant will punish his opponent with a familiar single-team (Durant can score 1.16 points per single in the last season, and is the first in the league in efficiency!);

② If the opponent's defensive player assists in double-teaming, Durant will use his height advantage to pass to Van Vleet or to Shen Jing (Durant is currently training to break double-team passes), which may create an open opportunity; even if other defensive players quickly make up for defense, they can also use Shin Kyung and Van Jordan's passing ability to shoot the three-point line for Xiao Jia, or Amen will catch the ball and attack the box.

Although Durant is the starting point of this tactic, Fan Heshen is the one who really plays a axis role, especially Shen Jing, where internal and external transmission is more lethal!

Durant

Tactic 2: Complex version

Durant first completed a top pick-and-roll with Van Jordan, forcing the opponent to switch defenses. Afterwards, Durant got the ball and called the opponent's small defender.

This tactic is more threatening than tactic one. After a dislocation occurs near the Durant paint area, it is very likely to attract the opponent's defensive players to double-team and then execute according to tactic one.

Rockets players actively train three-pointers

No matter any tactic, no matter how well they are executed, they must score the ball. So the Rockets' wing players in the new season such as Jay, Amen, Ethan, and even Shin Kyoto are practicing three-pointers crazy. With Durant joining, they will get more open opportunities in the new season. The Rockets' new season is worth looking forward to!
