How to use the Rockets in the new season?

Shen Jing's biggest improvement in this European Championship is neither a three-point shooting nor a free throw shooting percentage, but a dominant ability to launch an offense as an inside player, gradually becoming more stable.

Shen Jing has scored 20+5+5 in three consecutive games, which is by no means accidental. Although Shin Kyung strengthened his shooting training this summer, he knew very well that what he really based on the field was not mid-range and long-distance shooting.

Three-pointers are advanced weapons for Shin Kyung, not conventional scoring methods. He will only consider taking action if the tactical stops or the opponent is completely empty. In most scenarios, Shen Jing actually stands at the top of the arc, slot, and elbow area to control the offense. In this case, stable game reading comprehension, stable pass line, and stable misalignment success rate are the fundamental reason for Shen Jing to base himself on the field.

Shin Kyung in the previous NBA was actually still immature in many games. The key point is reflected in the offensive end, and the control of the scale between scoring or passing. This is not difficult to understand, because as a player who has not yet been clearly positioned on the offensive end, Uduka will try to find the most suitable way to play through the game. As an immature team, the Rockets actually did not have an absolutely fixed style of playing, and many things were in the exploratory stage.

After experiencing the baptism of the playoffs last season and Durant was attracted in the offseason, the Rockets' style of playing in the new season will be fixed.

In this scenario, what Shin Kyung was originally good at was to be converted into stadium contributions. In fact, you can develop something that you originally didn't know, and you must not lose your job.

Shin Kyung will play many counter pick-and-rolls in the round of dominating the ball, that is, counter-screening. Shin Kyung holds the ball in the middle and high positions, with wing players and even defenders coming forward to provide side or back cover.

The Rockets in the new season have limited ability to start the No. 1 position and are tall and good at cutting. This style of play may be widely used.

The core purpose of playing pick-and-roll for the inside is to help the inside ball holder get rid of the defensive pressure and create local games with more and less and misalignment.

Amen, Jabarri, Durant, Ethan, Finney Smith, Shepard, VanVleet, different players will cover Shin Kyung, and there will be different ways to end.

Amen and Ethan prefer to cover and run to the outside first, then run backwards to the inside, forming a break, and receive the pass from Shin Kyung to complete the dunk.

Durant and Jabbarri, after facing cover, pulled to the top of the arc, made a catch shot or continued to transfer the ball to the weak side 45 degrees.

Fenny Smith, Shepard, and Van Vleet tend to let Shin Kyung make a dislocation after cover. If the opponent goes forward and attacks, Shin Kyung can choose to pass to different positions according to the form.

In short, after a high pick-and-roll is generated, whether it is:

① Pick-and-roll and disassemble the inside line

② Pick-and-roll and disassemble the outside line

③ Attract the pass after double-teaming

Rockets can use the opponent's thinking inertia of defending the traditional pick-and-roll thinking to try to hit the opponent by surprise.

As an unconventional tactic, it is more of a tactical change or a response method for specific defenses. The core value lies in creating breakthroughs and passing space for inside ball holders through covers, or connecting to the outside to form open space opportunities.
