How strong are the Rockets two towers? The data gives the answer: partnered with two sets of outside lineups, with a brilliant goal score

Basketball

Compared to chasing a big star this offseason, the Rockets should do more this summer is to quickly use a new contract to keep veteran Adams. The 31-year-old veteran Adams is actually not old, but he was reimbursed for a serious injury two years ago. The Rockets took over from the Grizzlies and used Oladipo and three second-round draft picks to poach Adams. After Adams came to the Rockets, he failed to play for half a season. He has been recovering from his injuries and did not play for the Rockets until this season.

In this season, Adams became the first substitute for the Rockets' main center Alperen Shinkyung. Shin Kyung's first substitute last season was Langdale, and now Adams beat Langdale to become the second center in this position. He has done a very good job this season, and even surpassed Langdale in his defensive ability, rebound protection ability and pick-and-roll screen ability.

But unfortunately, Adams played at the beginning of the season and the Rockets didn't dare to give him too much playing time for fear that his old injury would recur. Moreover, Adams has poor personal shooting ability and independent scoring ability. Although he has top-notch defensive ability, he does not have a strong sense of presence on the offensive end.

For the Rockets, although Adams has average offensive ability, he should also keep Adams as soon as possible. After all, the double tower tactics are a must-have tactic for the Rockets in the regular season and even the playoffs. So, how strong is the Rockets’ double tower tactic? The so-called double tower tactic is that Shin Kyung changes to power forward and gives the center position to Adams, and the two center players go on the court at the same time. The Warriors are deeply touched by the power of the Rockets' double towers, and a set of data also proves the excellence of the Rockets' double towers.

According to data, the Rockets' double towers this season are the team's important tactical core. According to statistics, the Rockets' Twin Towers showed strong dominance at the basket when they partnered with different outside players: when paired with Aaron Holiday, Van Vritte and Jabbarri Smith Jr., the Rockets can win 51.2 points in every 30 rounds; when paired with three outside players, Amen Thompson, Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks, the Rockets' Twin Towers lineup can win 73.9 points in every 23 rounds. Some experts believe that the Twin Towers and Rockets outside players of different styles can form a perfect complement.

In the playoffs, the Twin Towers teamed up for a total of 93 minutes, and the Rockets beat the Warriors by 20.6 points. This also proves how reliable the Rockets' double towers are in such a high-intensity game as the playoffs. You should know that in the playoffs, the Rockets' inside line beats the Warriors' inside line. If Jaylen Green and other shooters on the outside can perform better, the Rockets can easily eliminate the Warriors and advance to the Western Conference playoff semi-finals. Unfortunately, the Rockets' double towers made great contributions and dominated the inside, but the Rockets' outside and role players did not perform as they deserved.

Therefore, this set of data shows how outstanding the Rockets' Twin Towers are. Shin Kyung is still in the contract period, and another important task for the Rockets this summer is to sign Adams quickly. After leaving Adams behind, the Rockets' most powerful double tower lineup will appear in the game next season. In the playoffs, this double tower lineup is more useful.
