The Rockets combo was dismantled, but they lost but gained 3 points. One person really gained the ball, but the other should be used sparingly.

The game between the Rockets and the Thunder is quite lively. In the new season, both teams have the strength to break out of the Western Conference, so this is a Western Conference Finals-level confrontation. Judging from the game process, this was also shown. The two sides continued to overtime, and the final score difference was only 1 point. Of course, this game deserves careful analysis. The Rockets' combo was dismantled, but they gained 3 points in the loss. One player really gained the ball, but one should be used sparingly.

In fact, the Thunder and Rockets are their own imaginary enemies. In order to get off to a good start, the Rockets can be said to have launched a series of moves. From suppressing the opponent with a large lineup to attacking the opponent's main players, these combos were resolved one by one by the Thunder. Although the two Thunder players committed fouls and left the game without Jaylen Way, Alexander is the most unsolvable existence. Of course, the Rockets' game completely exposed the disadvantages of their large lineup.

But then again, the Rockets lost in this game, but it was not an ugly loss. There were also three gains. The first gain is that Shen Jing has indeed increased his goals. Shen Jing in this game is definitely a giant, and the data is the best reflection. Shen Jing alone scored 39 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. More importantly, he practiced three-pointers. For Shen Jing, when he has a three-pointer, he is already close to Jokic.

The second gain is that Durant really needs to save money. Why do you say that? Anyone who has watched the game knows that it seems like Durant played 47 minutes and 03 seconds, but in the later stages he became a bait. Durant is not young anymore, and such a huge consumption will inevitably make it difficult for him to continue. For the Rockets, they must allocate Durant's time reasonably and cannot point at Durant for everything. Let's see how Uduka arranges it next, which affects the entire season.

The third gain is that large lineups should be used selectively. In this game, the big lineup did have an advantage for a period of time, but after the physical fitness declined, the big lineup became a liability. Why did Alexander get everything he asked for in the later period? To put it bluntly, he grasped this point. Therefore, the use of large lineups must be adjusted according to changes on the field, and cannot be achieved in one way. Of course, the Rockets' large lineup has actually been thoroughly studied.

In general, this game is a good teaching and an example for the Rockets to find and fill in their deficiencies. After all, only by playing against a championship team like the Thunder can they discover more of their own problems. Another thing to say is that if Sheppard is still of no value in about 30 games, you can consider sending him away in exchange for a reliable point guard, because the current Rockets have no time to wait for Sheppard to grow up.
