Average of 4+3! Rockets Towers are ignored? Stone chases new center, and for two consecutive seasons, he is difficult to make rotation

The center position has always been the strongest position of the Rockets this season and the essence of the Rockets. Because of his brave performance in this position, the Rockets became the second in the West in the regular season in the league. The Rockets' inside core Alperon Shin-kyung averaged 19 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the regular season, and even advanced to 21 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists in the playoffs. It can be said that although Shin Kyung almost failed to be selected into the best team, he has his strength.

Shin Kyung's defense has improved significantly, and his offensive level is also first-class among the players in the center position in the league. However, other teammates of the Rockets did not give Shin Kyung good support, for example, Jaylen Green was all silent in six games in the playoffs and did not score high scores. In this way, inside center Shin Kyung was strictly guarded, and it was quite rare for him to score 21+12+5 per game.

Adams is the Rockets' second center, and he beat Langdale to become Shin Kyung's first substitute this season. In the regular season, the Rockets developed a double tower tactic: Adams played as center and Shin Kyung served as power forward, which was quite effective. In the playoffs, Uduka carried forward the double tower tactics, and the Rockets' double tower tactics have been suppressing several inside players of the Warriors.

But now the problem is - Rockets center Adams' contract expires and may leave the team, and many teams are chasing the veteran. It is reported that the Rockets also want to keep Adams. If he refuses to renew the contract, the Rockets actually have a new plan, and they will chase the Bucks' Big Lopez. Manager

Manager Stone has always been very interested in Lopez. He almost signed Lopez a few years ago and asked him to play a substitute for Shin Kyung. But at that time, Lopez changed his mind on the spot, and the Rockets failed to sign him, so he continued to stay with the Bucks. Now a free agent, Lopez, one of his next players is the Rockets. If the Rockets can't keep Adams, chasing Lopez is the best choice. The problem is that the Rockets actually have a substitute from Shin Kyung, who is 29-year-old center Randale. Although Landal fell to the third center position this season, he averaged nearly 12 minutes per game in 42 games in the regular season, contributing 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds, shooting percentage as high as 53% and three-point shooting percentage as high as 42%. He is one of the Rockets' best shots.

If you have a chance to play in the regular season, Langdale can always show his three-point shooting skills. However, due to the joint suppression of Shin Kyung and Adams, Langdale can only fade out of the rotation this season and rank third in the center. Only when Adams takes the initiative to rest or is absent due to injury can Langdale have a chance to play, but it is already quite good that he can perform like this. If the Rockets want to chase Lopez, it means they completely ignore the existence of Landale. Regardless of whether Adams stays in the team or not, Langdale will still be the third center next season. If Adams stays in the team, the Rockets' three centers will play in Shin Kyung, Adams and Langdale; if Adams does not stay in the team and the Rockets get Big Lopez, then Shin Kyung and Big Lopez will be in a regular rotation, and Langdale can only continue to be ranked third center and fall out of the rotation.

So, this 29-year-old very useful and powerful center has been ignored by the Rockets, and he may have difficulty entering the rotation lineup for two consecutive seasons. In fact, there is no need for the Rockets to chase Lopez, Adams does not stay at the team, and the Rockets let Langdale be the first substitute for Shin Kyung.
