33 points to 21 points! Is it difficult for the Rockets to convert their rebounding advantage? Uduka piles up centers and messes up the position.

After the Rockets lost to the Spurs in an away game, they faced a powerful opponent in the next game-the Milwaukee Bucks with Antetokounmpo. The Rockets' current record is 5 wins and 3 losses, which looks okay. However, the Rockets' tactical system has not been clarified. Uduka often switches between two lineups. The first is the so-called top five lineups, and the second is a traditional lineup.

At critical moments, Uduka will always trust the five major lineups. Just like the game against the Spurs, the Rockets originally had a huge advantage in the second quarter and led by many points. However, in the second half of the second quarter, Udoka suddenly brought out the five major lineups. The five major lineups were directly restrained by the Spurs' three-point shooting and could not be defended at all. The Rockets almost collapsed in the second half of the second quarter. In the end, the great lead in the second quarter no longer existed, and they lost one point and entered the second half. After that, the Rockets' big lineup was directly cracked by the Spurs. Even if the Rockets players were frantically chasing points, it was difficult to catch up. This was also a mistake in the Rockets' tactical system.

Uduka's experimental lineup is actually the right choice. However, in trying a big lineup like this against the powerful Spurs, it was clear that Udoka was using the wrong lineup at the wrong time. Moreover, in this game, the Rockets' original offensive rebounding advantage did not translate into more points.

According to statistics, the Rockets picked up 17 offensive rebounds in this game, but their second attack score was only 21 points; the Spurs picked up 15 offensive rebounds, and they scored 33 points on their second attack. As a result, the Rockets were 12 points behind their opponents in terms of second offense, and ultimately lost by exactly 11 points. In other words, the Rockets' secondary offensive conversion ability is too poor. They can grab more offensive rebounds, but the Rockets are simply unable to convert them into higher scores. This is an important reason why the Rockets lost this game.

The Rockets' big lineup actually did not protect the rebounds well in this game, and several key rebounds fell into the hands of the Spurs. Although the Rockets had many offensive rebounds, they were unable to organize an effective second offense. Neither Shepard nor Amen Thompson has VanVleet's excellent organization and connection abilities. The lack of a core point guard is also a flaw for the Rockets. And at the critical moment, Uduka randomly piled up centers inside, resulting in a loss of defense on the outside. The Rockets allowed the opponent to make too many three-pointers.

Although they had certain advantages inside and defended Bunyama from scoring too much, the Rockets failed to defend on the outside, coupled with the poor touch of the two core players Amen Thompson and Durant, they finally tasted the bitter consequences of losing, which was quite helpless. If the Rockets can always use a traditional lineup to face off against the Spurs, although Bunyama may score more points, the Rockets' perimeter will not be unable to prevent the opponent's three-point shot. Now Uduka attaches too much importance to the inside line and ignores the defense of the outside line.

In addition, the Rockets' offensive rebound advantage is difficult to convert into effective scoring. The lack of a VanVleet-style core defender is also a problem.
